Cyber Monday – aka the Monday after Black Friday aka the biggest on-line shopping day of the year aka the most important day of the year (to us shopaholics at least) – is upon us. This occasion may not trigger the same hullabaloo in Singapore as the US of A just yet, but that’s about to change.
We’ve teamed up with the awesomely fab Luxola, Southeast Asia’s first online luxury cosmetic and skin-care site, to make shopping this Christmas – and ever after, easier. So keep reading for our tips and picks, as well as a little something extra special at the end!
Chris wants: Sigma Beauty Performance Eyes Kit
Eye make-up is essential when I go out for dinner parties, so this will come in very handy for Christmas! The 8 different brushes allows for precise application of any liquid, cream and powder eye product. The frequent traveller in me loves that this kit is also very convenient for travelling, so it’s a great investment.
Nina wants: DRGL Moisturiser All Skin Types
A high performance moisturizer is a must-have now that we’re spending most of the day in an air-conditioned office. This is lightweight, and it goes above and beyond the call of duty by minimizing the appearance of fine lines, fighting free radical damage that causes premature aging with Vitamin C, and to restore skin elasticity with Hyaluronic acid.
Tina wants: Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Usage Dry Oil (Golden Shimmer)
The beauty benefits of dry oil are undeniable, so this multi-use and multi-purpose oil by Nuxe is first to go into my shopping cart. With 95.2% natural ingredients (plant oils and Vitamin E included), it’s great for my sensitive skin. A touch golden shimmer is just what I need to go from day to night over the festive season too!
Suzanne wants: Supergoop! SPF 35 Daily Correct CC Cream
This caught my eye because I loved the name of this suncare industry leader. As a working mum without a helper, I’m out and about in the sun a fair bit, so a daily CC cream that is a simultaneous sunscreen (with the highest PA+++ for maximum UVA protection) and skin serum with anti-aging properties is perfect for me.
Shairah wants: Sleek Makeup i-Divine Snapshots
This palette is a total beaut! Twelve show-stopping, high-quality, and super-pigmented eyeshadows in vibrant tropical colours? I’m in love. The summery and sunset shades have me dreaming of sipping cocktails by a beach in Bali.
Emily wants: Glam-It! GlamPact
My obsession with palettes is (as my mother will tell you) bordering on unhealthy. So when I discovered this refillable and customizable makeup compact actually came with a rechargeable LED-lit mirror (perfect for glam girls on-the-go too), it went into my cart in less than a hot second.
Wan Yin wants: Rosebud Perfume Company Rosebud Salve in a tin
Touted miracles in a bottle are one too many, but this salve is an absolute miracle in a tin. It not only works wonders in soothing chapped lips, I’ve applied it to moisturize my rough cuticles and tame my (sometimes) unruly brow line! Which makes it an awesome all-rounder and one of the staple products in my make-up pouch.
Alice wants: Sigma Beauty Mr. Bunny Essential Kit
When you’re building up your make-up collection, don’t neglect the tools. This is THE ultimate beauty brush set I’d love to get my hands on. Made of super-soft, high-quality synthetic fibres, these brushes are vegan-friendly! The brush holder is sturdy enough to take a hit in your travel bag and big enough to accommodate others too.
