Beauty intel: Laneige, Chanel, Kanebo

Collagen goodness. Did you know that collagen, which makes up 30 per cent of the total protein in the human body, supports healthy skin and hair, protects joints and ensures bones stay strong and healthy? That is why it is crucial that collagen is constantly replenished, as its amount in the body decreases after the age of 25. Made from the collagen of tilapia fish, Laneige Collagen Drink is formulated for easy absorption for brighter and well-hydrated skin. It also contains Vitamin C and extracts of red orange and pomegranate to stimulate collagen synthesis and fight off free radicals. Retailing at S$52 for 10 bottles at Laneige boutiques.

Pucker up. Have a lip party with Chanel’s newest lipstick, the Rouge Coco. Choose from 29 new shades of hot scarlet, fresh tangerines, romantic pinks, intense plums and nude beiges that sit comfortably on the lips as its trifecta of jojoba, mimosa and sunflower plant waxes nourish and hydrate. Retailing for S$48 each at Chanel boutiques and counters.

Flower power. Kanebo has collaborated with famed flower artist, Nicolai Bergmann, to create the limited edition Nicolai Bergmann X Impress IC Special Set. The exclusive collection consists of the Impress IC Refining Lotion I/II and the Impress IC Refining Emulsion I/II — both products suited for women in their late 20s looking to combat the first signs of ageing — and a floral-motif mirror designed in collaboration with Bergmann. Retailing for S$170 at all Kanebo counters.
