Chantecaille‘s Rose de Mai Signature Facial is a big drink of goodness to quench your skin’s thirst. Every visit is an opportunity to catch up on zzzs and I wake up to plumped, glowy skin. Plus, the delicate scent is reason itself to love this treatment.

 

Favourite Make-up Brand

A post shared by Charlotte Tilbury, MBE (@ctilburymakeup) on


Walking into Charlotte Tilbury makes me feel like a kid at a candy shop. The legendary makeup artist is the queen of colour. Her glamorous eyeshadow palettes are highly pigmented and easily blendable and buildable. To top it all, all her products are so beautiful in her signature modern-boudoir packaging.

 

Make-up item I can’t live without…

Having gone under the knife earlier this year (and by that, I mean microblading), I was ready to shake my brow make-up dependency.But shu uemura hard formula pencil (a combination of powder, wax and semi-solid oil; HK$200) will always have a spot on my top shelf. I still use it when I want extra definition.

 

Beauty product I’m always hoarding

Masks. Be they sheet, mud, gel, peel-off or sleep. Following any masking routine, my skin feels fresh and renewed. My top-shelf products I use on rotation include WEI’s Lotus Blossom Thirst Relief Sheet Mask (HK$430/6 sheets), Apivita’s Prickly Pear Moisturising & Soothing Mask (HK$245) and Fresh’s Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask (HK$490).

 

Favourite beauty hack I learned

A post shared by TATCHA Beauty (@tatcha) on


I’ve started to exfoliate once or twice a week after workouts. Sweat opens your pores so you can get a deeper cleanse and rid all impurities this way. I can control the cleanse with Tatcha’s The Rice Polish Calming (HK$600) and add more or less water depending on the exfoliation I need.

 

Favourite overall beauty discovery

A post shared by Valmont Official Account (@valmontcosmetics) on


So much has launched in 2019. But my favourite find has to be the Valmont Teint Majestuex Satin Glow Foundation (HK$1,650). What I love most about it is that it’s a hybrid between make-up and skincare offering a glowy satin-like finish without drying out the skin. It also works great with the Poudre de Teint Précieuse compact powder (HK$1,380) when I need to touch up on too much shine.

 

Brand I’ll always be loyal to

When it comes to Canvas, I can find no fault. All its products are at least 90 percent natural and organic, so I can rest easy knowing they won’t irritate my very sensitive skin. I’m especially fond of the Rose Otto collection.

 

Favourite skincare product

A post shared by Sunday Riley (@sundayriley) on


Depending on when you ask me this, my answer will probably change. But I’m currently obsessing over Sunday Riley’s Luna Sleeping Night Oil (HK$450). A winning combo of retinol and blue tansy, the oil works through the night to reduce fine lines, the appearance of pores and redness. I also like that the formula is grease-proof and absorbs into your skin (rather than your pillowcase).

 

Favourite haircare product

A post shared by ghd Hong Kong (@ghdhairhk) on


I’ll be the first to admit that I’m guilty of negligence when it comes to my hair. I find a good quality hairdryer is more than half the battle. The ghd Air Hairdryer is fast-drying, controls frizz and ives my fine lifeless hair a boost of volume.

 

Favourite beauty personality I met this year

A post shared by Angela Caglia Skincare (@angelacagliaskincare) on


Meeting Angela Caglia during her visit for her brand’s launch at Lane Crawford in Hong Kong was rather memorable. She’s made a name for herself by creating such beautiful, easy-to-use and effective tools. I’ve been hearing about her for some time now, so finally meeting her face-to-face and trying out her line was a real treat.

 

Favourite beauty device

Face massages helps to stimulate collagen production, plus it’s relaxing when you’re just sitting in front of the TV or computer. Frame Cosmetics has a Thermal Vibration Face Massaging Device (HK$4,680), which has a heating and cooling effect on top of a pulsating function that’s said to help penetrate serums into deeper layers of the skin. All it takes is about 10 minutes and you’ve got yourself a mini at-home facial.

 

Favourite beauty-related social media to follow

A post shared by Gelcream (@gelcream) on


@gelcream posts the most beautiful product shots and honest reviews about new products. The only downside is that it will guarantee Instaenvy. Everything you find here will somehow make its way on to your wish list.

 

Favourite Fragrance

A post shared by Gucci (@gucci) on


I’ve always been a sucker or oral fragrances and my current favourite is Gucci Bloom Acqua Di Fiori (HK$1,040). The white-floral bouquet scent reminds me of fresh cut flowers without the overpowering sweetness, thanks to its earthy undertones.

 

Favourite Bodycare Product

A post shared by Aesop (@aesopskincare) on


I would recommend the Aesop body range to anyone regardless of their skin type. The cleansers are gentle on the skin thanks to the nourishing botanical ingredients and are suitable year-round. Its Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser (HK$325) and Body Scrub (HK$260) are my top choices — the fresh pine-needle and sage scent really wakes me up.

 

The next product I can’t wait to get my hands on

A post shared by Augustinus Bader (@augustinusbader) on

It would be impossible for me to list them all as there are so many products on my wish list! But I will say that I’ve been eyeing the 111Skin Rose Gold Radiance Booster (HK$895) and any of its masks for some time now. If it’s good enough for Margot Robbie, Kim Kardashian and Priyanka Chopra, I can live with it. I’ve also heard some great things about the Dr Barbara Sturm Calming Serum (HK$1,930) and Victoria Beckham by Augustinus Bader (HK$2,100) that I wouldn’t mind trying out too.
