Rana – Editor-in-Chief
The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Radiant Oil, approx. USD24
The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Body Butter, approx. USD20
The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Massage Soap, approx. USD8
“Whilst in my teens, smelling like a fruit or a delicious dessert was my cup of tea (anyone recalls Britney Spears’ Fantasy EDP – or Victoria’s Secret Pear Glace which are still popular till today?) – my penchant for sweet smells has gone down a notch or ten as I got older.
Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion, approx. USD7
Tarandip – Fashion & Beauty Writer
Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion, approx. USD12
“I tend to suffer from relatively dry skin that irritates and bothers me to no end at times – especially when it comes to wearing dresses. So when I was in Canada and came across Aveeno at a relative’s place, consider my life officially changed. This moisturising lotion works immediately to give a soothing relief and keeps my skin hydrated for longer periods of time. Definitely sold!”
Shannon – Editorial Assistant & Writer
Laura Mercier Crème Brulee Honey Bath, USD45
“In the midst of Singaporean city life, I’m always on the lookout for something ultra-relaxing – and I’ve found just the thing! The Laura Mercier Crème Brulee Honey Bath will transport you to places you have never been before, specifically to spa heaven. The foaming honey-scented bubble bath leaves me feeling nourished, moisturised and most of all, relaxed – perfect after a day at work or a long flight. Infused with caramel, spun sugar and French vanilla bean – this is one body product I’ll never say no to.”
Annabelle – Fashion & Beauty Writer
Victoria Secret’s Pure Daydream Body Mist, USD14
“My daily preparatory ritual just before I bolt out the house is never complete without a couple of spritzes of VS’s body mist. For casual days out and about running errands, the richness of an Eau de Parfum is not necessary instead the VS body mist is my saviour. Truth be told, the name of this scent could not be more spot-on for its bright blend of fresh pearl and orchid and pink current infused with conditioning aloe vera and calming chamomile that truly makes me feel like I’m living in a day dream. Nothing like a refreshing light-hearted fruity and floral fragrance filled with vitality to start a new day with!”
Lindsay – Fashion Tech & Lifestyle Writer/ Translator 
Cattier Paris Shea Butter, approx. USD10
“I love my Shea Butter by Cattier Paris! It’s such a versatile cream. I use it for my lips, body and hair and I’m totally crazy about its fabulous honey fragrance.”
Laetitia – Regional Account Manager
Kiehl’s Orange, Flower & Lychee Body Lotion, USD26
“There’s no need for a reminder that our skins needs to be hydrated and protected from pollution and the every changing climate’s aggressors – that is if we want to maintain a bright and radiant skin. So without doubt, this body lotion is my absolute must have! The smell is alluring yet subtle and lingers all day long. It also moisturises well without any sticky or greasy residue – perfect for the morning rush.”
Aline – Audience Product Manager
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Oil, approx. USD29
“First off, it’s the scent that is alluring: a perfect balance between the sweetness of almond, the freshness of camellia, and spiced with a hint of hazelnut and macadamia. For me, it smells like the summer holidays. But in fact, everything is perfect in this oil. Its light formula, while not organic is reinforced by natural extracts and then there’s the iconic limited edition packaging.
Plus : In the summertime, I switch to the Prodigious Oil gold shimmer, it’s ideal for emphasizing my suntan.”
