Noriana, Makeup Artist: Need I say more? The history that comes with this perfume is undeniable. Strong and always lingering, you can sniff it from a mile away!

Adelina, Deputy Editor: I really can’t think of any other fragrance that is as iconic as N°5. I grew up aspiring to wear it once I could carry its sensual and powerful scent, which I’d associated with the images I had seen of Mademoiselle Chanel, who seemed to personify the style and grace of womanhood. To this day, it has a special place in my heart.

Venice, Digital Creator & Personality: I like the whole packaging and texture of this cream. It is truly lightweight, without leaving a sticky feeling after applying. Moisturising and nourishing, it’s definitely one of my favourite products now!

Redzhanna, Beauty Writer: If you know me, you’ll know that I’m a sucker for pretty packaging, so the Chuck’s lineup already has my heart in that respect. Throw in the fact that this product *actually* delivers on its claims of boosted hydration? I’m sold! I love how the whipped gel texture glides onto my skin, and how weightless it feels when it’s on. After using it for two weeks, I’ve worked out that it works best as a night cream for me—a little too waxy for the daytime, it fares well in my airconditioned room and prevents me from waking up with dry, dehydrated skin.

Emma, Beauty Enthusiast: This leave-in serum left my hair feeling soft and bouncy almost immediately after my first use—and it lasts for days! It is unbelievable. Plus, it doesn’t have that typical strong chemical smell that tends to sting my nose. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised.

Venice, Digital Creator & Personality: This is easy to apply and protects your hair like a shield, which is especially important when your hair is dyed! It also leaves a smooth texture after applying.

Redzhanna, Beauty Writer: The Sublimic Wonder Shield by Shiseido is a real multitasker as it offers heat protection, colour protection, and quicker drying time. I’m pleased to say that the rumours are true—my drying time has been cut in half, my frizz is far tamer, and my hairstyle stays put all day long.

Syaqira, Beauty Enthusiast: The Corrale has made straightening or styling even easier than before. This innovative tool smoothes out my hair and gives it an extremely neat and shiny look.

Venice, Digital Creator & Personality: I’ve had Dyson’s Corrale Straightener for years now and, trust me, you’ll go “wow” when you use it. From curly and frizzy to smooth and silky straight hair, it’s super easy to use—you don’t even need a comb while straightening your hair with the Corrale. It’s a must-have hair tool!

Redzhanna, Beauty Writer: Styling my hair has never been easier—that I can say with total confidence. I was initially sceptical of the hype surrounding the Corrale (how good can a straightener really be, right?), but I have to say that I’ve been blown away by the results. Whether I’m curling or straightening, my hair effortlessly maintains a salon finish. From now on, whatever the style, this is the device I’ll be reaching for.

Adelina, Deputy Editor: With spas not yet able to reopen (at the time of writing), this salt scrub’s relaxing tropical scent is as close as I’ve come to smelling like a spa in a long time. The rich oil blend—and there’s plenty of it—ensures the tiny grains of salt don’t irritate my skin so long as I scrub gently. I love using it on my legs, which are prone to having ingrown hairs.

Redzhanna, Beauty Writer: While it did leave a bit of a safety hazard in my bathtub (after using, you’ll want to be sure to thoroughly rinse your floors down), this body scrub is the definition of indulgence. The aromatherapeutic scent is enough to wow the senses, but this nourishing scrub packs a hydrating punch too. I scrubbed and I dubbed, but my skin was still left soft and supple thanks to the moisturising oil blend.

Emma, Beauty Enthusiast: It definitely made my hair shinier and softer. It’s an added bonus considering I use it to maintain healthy hair. Not only does it have a pleasant smell but it doesn’t have that stickiness which I sometimes find in other hair oils. I also like that it’s light and absorbs quickly into the hair.

Redzhanna, Beauty Writer: I’ve been on the lookout for a new go-to hair serum ever since my last bottle ran dry, and I am thoroughly pleased to announce that my search is over. Aside from its stunning texture, this hair oil managed to tame the untamable mane (AKA my hair). Enough said.

Adelina, Deputy Editor: As someone who sweats easily, but also develops dry patches from spending long hours in an air-conditioned room, I’m fond of body moisturisers that hydrate without feeling sticky. This deeply nourishing emulsion has the smoothness of a balm, the silkiness of an oil, and the lightness of a water-based product despite being a cream.

Redzhanna, Beauty Writer: I often skip body moisturiser (unless it’s absolutely necessary) because I hate feeling sticky under my clothes, but this lotion-emulsion hybrid has shown me another way. It is a game-changer—lightweight, quick to sink in, and beautifully scented, I’m absolutely obsessed! My skin is hydrated, free of dry patches, and happier than ever.

Redzhanna, Beauty Writer: If there is one place I’d like to be right now, it’s the spa at The RuMa Hotel and Residences. The tranquil atmosphere of UR Spa is enough to win anyone over, but when you throw in the stunning treatment plan, there is absolutely no competition. The UR Vital treatment starts off with an invigorating papaya and kiwi scrub that smells like a dream, followed by a fluid-draining massage that leaves you feeling revitalised. Finally, it ends with a whole-body mud mask that somehow makes you feel like a newborn baby.
