What to see, what to do
May is absolutely bustling with beauty events to check out—find our picks for the must-sees below!
YSL Beauty’s Lovenude Beauty Hotel pops up at Mid Valley Megamall
In celebration of YSL Beauty first-ever hybrid matte lip collection, Lovenude, the brand invites you to check into its most exciting pop-up yet—the Lovenude Beauty Hotel. Located at Mid Valley Megamall’s Centre Court, the pop-up is a curated space designed to help you discover the new Lovenude Lip Blusher balm and the Lovenude Kiss Shaper lip liner in person.
The experience begins at the Check-in desk, where you’ll get your keys ahead of your stay—and where you can redeem them for a gift. Then, you can take a cute bedroom snap at the Shade Room photobooth before hopping on the Lovenude Hotline to catch an exclusive pre-recorded message from YSL Beauty Global Ambassador and YSL Lovenude face, Dua Lipa. Finally, once you’ve completed the experience and “checked out”, you can receive a complimentary Lovenude discovery kit. In addition, there are other exclusive rewards available at the pop-up, including complimentary gifts with purchase across tiered spending levels. Further, guests who purchase any two items, inclusive of one Lovenude Lip Blusher, will receive a complimentary mini Lovenude Kiss Shaper.
The YSL Beauty Lovenude Pop-Up is open until 17 May 2026 at Mid Valley Megamall’s Centre Court.
Aesop joins R+ and GDP Architects for a collaborative exhibition
Time and time again, Aesop has proven to be a champion of the arts, thoughtful and considered in each of its endeavours. Its latest venture is no different, with the brand moving to support the latest joint exhibition between R+ and GDP Architects.
‘Memory’s Landscape’ is a multisensory exhibition exploring the relationship between spatial experiences and memory-making. Featuring 20 works hand-selected from the renowned Steve Wong Art Collection, created by 19 local and international artists such as Chang Fee Ming, Faizal Suhif and Andy Dewantoro, the exhibition highlights how scent can serve as a grounding to a particular place or moment, eventually becoming a part of the tangible and ephemeral experiences of a human’s life.
Memory’s Landscape will be open at GDP Campus, 79 Jalan Setiabakti, 50490, from 16 May through 2 August.
