FILORGA’S EYE-CATCHING RESULTS
Aesthetic medicine pioneer, FILORGA, has introduced its latest addition to the iconic TIME-FILLER range — TIME-FILLER EYES 5XP. The cream boasts a potent formula designed to treat the entire eye area and offers a swift response to various signs of aging by plumping undereye wrinkles, relaxing frown lines, smoothing crow’s feet, reducing dark circles, and visibly lifting wrinkles formed by eyelid folds.

This cream contains several powerhouse ingredients which bring you the best of results. This includes Orchid stem cells which enhance the synergy between the skin›s stem cells and fibroblasts, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process lifts sagging folds, and firms and smoothens eyelids, breathing new life into the eye area. This fantastic cream targets frown lines by drawing inspiration from botulinum toxin injections with a BOTOX-like tripeptide that relaxes muscles, providing controlled and lasting relaxation without immobilising facial expressions.

With TIME-FILLER EYES 5 XP you’re sure to get eye-catching results that are visible in just seven days.

BLUSH WITH SHEGLAM
After taking TikTok by storm, and charming beauty enthusiasts all around the world, SHEGLAM made its debut in the Middle East at the end of 2023. With months having gone by, we’ve had plenty of time to try out its fabulous products and we are in love.

The brand’s best-sellers include the Liquid Family, Complexion Pro Long Lasting Breathable Matte Foundation, Skin-Focus High Coverage Powder Foundation, Dynamatte Boom Long Lasting Matte Lipstick, Pout-Perfect Shine Lip Plumper, and the All-In-One Volume & Length Mascara.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we couldn’t help but get our hands on the Colour Bloom Liquid Blush, which was a result of a collaboration with beauty icon, Noor Star. This iconic blush is available in matte and shimmer variations, but chasing the glow we were drawn to the Colour Bloom Liquid Blush Shimmer. You can truly shine brighter than the sun with this shimmering, highly-pigmented, long-wearing liquid blush. You’ll be happy to know that the formula is cruelty-free and that the shimmer blushes are available in four shades: Risky Business, Love Cake, Float On and Devoted (as seen on the model).

CHANCE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Soft, delicately perfumed hands are well within reach this Valentine’s Day with Chanel’s CHANCE perfumed hand creams.

This intoxicating limited-edition set includes three hand creams that are delicately infused with the floral notes of three fragrances: CHANCE, CHANCE EAU FRAICHE and CHANCE EAU TENDRE.

Cheerful and sparkling CHANCE EAU FRAICHE features amplified zesty citron accents which illuminate its jasmine heart, before an elegant and vibrant woody note settles on the skin.

The jasmine note in CHANCE EAU TENDER nestles gently into a cloud of smooth musk, while a delicately grapefruit-quince accord adds tartness.

Finally, CHANCE gives the skin a floral-spicy scent in which notes of pink peppercorn, jasmine and amber patchouli are intertwined.

This trio elevates the scent trail, all while its fine, lightweight formula melts delicately onto the skin to leave hands moisturised. The travel friendly tubes conveniently fit into any bag for a new way to wear fragrance. Trust us… this set is one that you’ll love!

ELEVATE YOUR SENSES WITH LUSH’S BEST-SELLING PERFUMES
Looking for a fine fragrance this Valentine’s Day? Perfumery for the cruelty-free selfcare brand, LUSH, has always been a medium of expression in an artistic and unadulterated manner. Inspired by art, poetry, and culture, LUSH’s fine fragrances are crafted using the best essential oils and absolutes from around the globe.

Here are some of the best-selling fragrances that you’re sure to love:

Dirty Perfume
A fresh fragrance loved by everyone, Dirty is a multi-layered sandalwood, tarragon, and thyme aroma. Sandalwood is the earthy, invigorating note that calms, while lavender adds a floral, woody note to this fragrance. One single spray offers heady notes of thyme, tarragon, oak moss, and sandalwood.

Lord of Misrule Perfume
The musky patchouli note opens this unusual cologne, with sweet and creamy vanilla, tempering the herbal aroma and mellowing things down. A final dash of stimulating pepper joins the party to add a little kick and give the proceedings a touch of energy.

Karma Perfume
Karma is a unique signature scent combining intoxicating layers of orange, spices, and patchouli. Embodying a trip to London in the 1960s as clouds of groovy patchouli mingle with uplifting Brazilian orange and Siberian fir needle oils, it’s a lingering perfume for free spirits.
