Here are some of our picks from October’s beauty launch lineup to make our Wishlisted list, featuring new favourites and a returning old flame too. Read on to find out more.
Drunk Elephant C-Luma Hydrabright Serum
Everyone’s favourite functional skincare brand Drunk Elephant is back with a new vitamin C formula! Following on the footsteps of its hugely popular C-Firma Fresh serum, the all-new C-Luma Hydrabright offers an alternative vitamin C option for those looking for a gentler formulation with an extra boost of moisture.
Containing 10% vitamin C in the form of sodium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbyl glucoside, which is more stable than l-ascorbic acid, the C-Luma Hydrabright serum also contains squalene and Drunk Elephant’s specialty marula oil for a hydrating boost to give you an instantly luminous complexion. Plus, it looks great under makeup too!
Biossance Pro-Peptide Lip Perfector
As the northern hemisphere moves into the dry fall and winter seasons, while we contend with alternating days of scorching heat and humid storms, the lips are often one part of the body that suffers the most.
The new Biossance Pro-Peptide Lip Perfectors are packed with a trio of hydrators to give your lips a triple treat of moisture. The key ingredient is the titular Pro-Peptide, which is a lip-specific triple-strength peptide made to visibly improve lips and give long-lasting moisture. The Pro-Peptide is supported by your familiar hydration heroes of hyaluronic acid and sugarcane-derived squalene which pumps up the moisture and locks it in too. These Lip Perfectors comes in three shades: the clear H2Glow, the sheer berry Supernova, and sheer pink Blush Quartz, all made to enhance your natural lip colour.
Shiseido Future Solution LX
Since 2009, Shiseido’s Future Solution LX collection has been a pioneer in skincare science and skin barrier-focused care. With this new launch, the entire collection takes a step into the future – complete with new packaging and state-of-the-art skincare innovation.
At the heart of the collection is the Enmei herb, a revered Japanese botanical that’s steeped in legend and folklore, yet also scientifically known for its regenerative properties. Shiseido have extracted and developed its proprietary LonGenevity Complex which works to strengthen the skin, and bolster its defences against external aggressors.
The entire collection is renewed and provides a complete routine from the first step of cleansing all the way to the highly condensed regenerating lip and eye cream.
Hermès Beauty Trait d’Hermès
A purveyor of beautiful objects and a master of colour, Hermès Beauty takes notes from its heritage to unveil their latest collection of makeup essentials. Trait d’Hermès is a collection of 40 lip and eye pencils, a new eyeliner and two beauty accessories made to inject colour into every look.
Beautifully designed by Pierre Hardy, the lip and eye pencils are made from sustainable wood and echoes the look of show-jumping poles, a nod to Hermès’ equestrian legacy. The eyeliner on the other hand evokes the image of a fountain pen, complete with refillable “ink” cartridge and brush tip that allows for ultra fine lines or a thick liner stroke.
On the accessories front, Hermès Beauty launches a cute and fun pencil sharpener as well as the new L’estomper de précision brush made as a companion to effortlessly blend any lines drawn with the Trait d’ Hermès eye pencils.
Available exclusively in Hermès boutiques and Hermès counters in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and The Exchange TRX.
Urban Decay All Nighter Hyaluronic Acid Setting Spray
After exiting the lineup at Sephora for a while, Urban Decay’s cult favourite setting sprays are finally back in retail stores – and with it four new variants of the All Nighter family!
The newest launch title goes to the All Nighter Hyaluronic Setting Spray, a hybrid formula that combines both skincare benefits (thanks to the active levels of hyaluronic acid) as well as the 16H long wear performance the All Nighter range is known for. The Hyaluronic Setting Spray also provides waterproof cover on top of the smudge-, sweat-, and transfer-resistant finish, plus a delightful watermelon scent to match the bright pink bottle.
The other three variants to join the lineup are the All Nighter Vitamin C, All Nighter Extra Glow and All Nighter Ultra Matte setting sprays.
