NATURALLY BRIGHT. If you have sullen and dull complexion, a good brightening regime such as the new FANCL Whitening Series will resolve all that. Promising fair and clear skin, the range consists of three key products. The Whitening Essence is rich in Marigold Flower Extract (to inhibit the secretion of melanin) and Formula 3 Vitamin C complex (which lightens accumulated melanin while preventing the formation of pigmentation). The Whitening Mask is a three-layer woven fiber facial mask that lightens dark spots and pigmentation while correcting the root cause of pigmentation, while the Sunguard 50+ Protect UV is a lightweight, physical sunscreen that hydrates and prevents skin from darkening and photo-ageing. None of these contain nasty preservatives. Available at the FANCL counter at Isetan Scotts, Level 1, Shaw House.

SCENT TRAIL. The new La Colle Noire from Dior’s La Collection Privee Christian Dior is a must-have for those who love luxurious floral scents with a touch of spicy and woody notes. Lively and radiant, its bouquet is a lush mix of May Rose, Madagascan clove essence, gaiac, sandalwood with base notes of amber and musk. Available at the Parfums Christian Dior counter at Tangs @ Tang Plaza and the Parfums Christian Dior Boutiques such as at Ion Orchard and Marina Bay Sands.
