WELL FRAMED LASHES. If you intend to rock intense well-lined eyes and lusciously framed lashes this Valentine’s Day, check out the KATE Black Shock Collection from KATE TOKYO. There are two key products: The KATE DIGITAL MEMORY LINER (S$20.50) in BK-1 Digital Black promises all-day wear and colour in a single stroke of the super-fine flat brush. No worries about smudges or messy streaks as the liner uses two types of polymers to ensure all-day resistance to water, sebum and sweat. The KATE VIRTUAL LONG LASH (S$25.50) in BK-1 Hard Black delivers voluminous, dramatic and lush lashes thanks to its straight and curled fibres that simultaneously curls, lifts and fixes your lashes in place for well-curved lashes that last. Available at selected FairPrice Finest, FairPrice Xtra, OG, John Little, Sasa Cosmetics and Watsons stores.

GENTLY DOES IT. Say goodbye to redness, skin sensitivity and peeling that’s normally associated with retinol treatments, and flaunt a fresher, tauter complexion this Chinese New Year. Dermalogica’s first-ever retinol treatment, the Overnight Retinol Repair is formulated with a potent mix of pure ingredients, ranging from Vitamin A and Peptides Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 to calming ingredients such as lavender and liquerice root. The treatment accelerates skin renewal, reversing the signs of photo-ageing, and improves skin tone while increasing skin firmness. Plus, it comes with a Buffer Cream that’s rich with 8 per cent aloe vera extract to help soothe and moisturise skin while affording you the versatility of tailoring the concentration of retinol applied to minimize retinoid reaction. Available at authorised Dermalogica skin treatment centres such as AsterSpring and exclusive Dermalogica salons.
