Beauty intel: Aveda, Vichy, Tory Burch, Bio-essence

LIPPY MANIA. Chic colours fill Tory Burch’s new Lip Color Collection, and each lipstick is subtly fragranced with notes from the Tory Burch fragrance — mandarin, grapefruit and cassis. Choose from the beautiful Pas du Tout, a sheer nude pink shade, to the shimmery Call Me, a warm golden plum colour that reflects brilliant summer days ahead. Retailing for S$45 exclusively at Robinsons Orchard Level 1.

FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE. For the month of April, Aveda will be donating 100 per cent of the proceeds from its limited-edition Earth Month Light The Way Candles to the Global Greengrants Fund, a non-profit organisation that works to resolve environmental issues. Made from a naturally-derived soya wax, so that it burns cleanly and efficiently, Aveda’s Light The Way Candle is made with 100 per cent organic essential oils of ginger and ginger lily grown in India. (The sale of one candle means the fund can get clean drinking water for a family of six in India for six months.) Retailing for S$35 at Aveda salons, spa and experience centres (#B1-32A Ngee Ann City and TANGS Orchard Beauty Hall Level 1).

THOROUGH REMOVAL. Bio-essence Miracle Bio Water Jelly Makeup Remover effectively removes dirt, impurities and make-up without tugging and stripping skin’s natural barrier. This paraben-free formulation also helps moisturise skin with the addition of Miracle Bio Water and Bio Energy Fluid. Retailing for S$23.90 at Watsons, Guardian and FairPrice.

HYDRATION IMPACT. Vichy is reintroducing three products in its hydration range, Aqualia Thermal: The Dynamic Hydration Power Serum (S$52), Dynamic Hydration Light Cream (S$45) and Dynamic Hydration Rich Cream (S$45). These products capture, retain and evenly dole out hydration so that different areas of skin receive the moisture needed for a healthy and fresh look all day. Available at Derma Center (#02-33 Westgate) and major pharmacies.
