SPRING FLING. Smell and feel as fresh as daisies with Crabtree & Evelyn’s limited edition fragrance, Spring Rain. The floral blend, which smells just like baby’s talcum powder, boasts notes of rose, jasmine and fresh greens, and is translated into 500ml Bath & Shower Gel and Scented Body Lotion. If that doesn’t whet your palette, choose between Summer Hill (a vanilla musk-based scent of bergamot and orange blossom) and Nantucket Briar (an earthy patchouli scent peppered with wild briar rose and peony) fragrances. Retailing as a set for S$68 at Crabtree & Evelyn stores.

NEW FACE. Korean star Claudia Kim has been named as Bobbi Brown Cosmetics’ first Asian celebrity face. Kim, who was dubbed the “mystery woman” in the upcoming The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron trailer, will have her face plastered throughout Korea from June, with the campaign rolling out in other Asia Pacific countries, including Singapore, in July. “I’m thrilled to be the first Asian model for this global brand. I have always loved Bobbi’s make-up and have been using her Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner for years. I admire how her products bring out the individual beauty in every woman and how easy she makes it for all women to look and feel their best.” said Kim.
