There’s nothing wrong with having a little selfcare. This month we explored five fantastic products for when you’re in the mood for some tender loving care. Goodies that make us look, smell and feel good? Yes, please!
COMÈTE: A Celestial Fragrance
Fragrance is a language that reveals a facet of the person who wears it, uncovering a fragment of their story with their scent of choice.
This is the spirit that symbolises the LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL collection, an exceptional olfactory line and a luxurious expression of perfumery that resembles no other, composed of noble and frequently tailor-made materials. Part mystery and elegance, part perfection and daring, LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL welcome a 19th olfactory vision: COMÈTE
Intensely floral and luminous, COMÈTE explores a new olfactory identity in the LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL collection. Rich and powdery, sophisticated and complex, it is a universe in itself.
Just like this travelling star, the Eau de Parfum is suffused with a fresh and delicate cherry blossom accord. A trace of luminosity and purity transforms into an aura set with heliotrope notes blending into a cloud of iris extract and a musk accord. It is a sensual fragrance, which envelops the skin with elusive magnetism.

A New Gold Standard in Skincare
In 1990, Elizabeth Arden forever changed the skincare industry with the introduction of Ceramide Capsules—the first of its kind bio-engineered, skin-identical ceramides available in a single-dose capsule format. With over 30 years of leadership and over 140 awards worldwide for its capsule technology, Elizabeth Arden now introduces the new gold standard of skin barrier repair, the Advanced Light Ceramide Capsules.
The Advanced Light Ceramide Capsules have an ultra-lightweight texture ideally suited for combination and oily skins. Powered by skin strengthening Phytoceramides and pore-perfecting Cyclopeptides, this serum absorbs quickly to strengthen skin barrier, refine pores, and rebalance skin complexion. The other key ingredient, hemisqualane, acts as a light emollient that controls excess sebum.
After applying just one capsule, your skin is 28 percent stronger, with nine out of ten women in a consumer study noted a dramatic reduction in visible pores. After one-week, stubborn lines were visibly reduced while after one month, all participants agreed that their skin felt healthy, looked luminous, and was retexturised.
Needless to say, these result-driven capsules are soon to be among your holy grail skincare products!

The Perfect Tint with Peripera
We strongly believe that a great lipstick, lip tint or lip gloss can completely transform your look. The Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint is definitely one of those products considering the fact that it has countless shades for every mood and look.
The fantastic South Korean brand is known for its affordable, cruelty-free cosmetics that encourage you to experiment with colour. With their Ink Velvet Lip Tint you can do just that with beautiful shades including reds, pinks, nudes and earthy browns. Some of our favourite shades in the collection are Heart Fuschia Pink, Rosy Nude, Celeb Deep Rose, Bouquet Nude and Milky Nude.
The long-lasting lip tint also has a soft whipped cream-like texture that glides onto skin and fills in your lips (including pesky fine lines!) for a smooth finish. Its unique formulation means that you are guaranteed that this product will not dry your lips out. For best results, apply the product to the centre of your lips and gradually blend outwards.
