Skincare and Beauty Drops To Look Out For This Month
CONTENT: Michelle Ng
As we approach the later half of 2025, we are looking to treat ourselves to a mid-year pick-me-up to celebrate ourselves for making it this far! And the best way to treat yourself is to look your bestest self, which starts from your skincare and beauty picks. We have picked out our current skincare and beauty obsessions that we keep reaching out for.
Cosmic 2.0 from Kylie Cosmetics
The second iteration of Kylie Cosmetics’ Cosmic perfume stays true to its elegant and feminine essence, with a fruity, delicious scent with notes of vanilla orchid, sweet pear, and fresh pink pepper. Just like the original perfume, Cosmic 2.0 is perfect for everyday wear as it’s light yet sensual enough with the amber accord and sandalwood base notes. You could also wear it for date night, as it has a slight spicy edge that can last all night long with a spray just before you head out. And the chrome-y sculptural finish inspired by self-love makes for a great addition to any fragrance shelf, while also fitting easily into your hand.
From S$40/ 10ml to S$120/ 100ml. Available at Sephora outlets islandwide and online
Very Rose Plumping Lip Serum from NUXE
While lipsticks and lip tints are nice, sometimes we are looking to go for a more natural look. NUXE’s latest launch is a Very Rose Plumping Lip Serum that delivers hydration while accentuating your natural lip tones. The lip serum hyaluronic acid for hydration and rose oil extract for to nourish, as well as their secret ingredient – chili pepper extract to give you that cooling yet heating sensation! The chili pepper extract also contains plenty of fatty acids, to ensure your lips look better even after a long day of wear.

Clarins Comfort Scrub
Clarins has reformulated their exfoliating lineup, and the Clarins Comfort Scrub is a gentle addition to all skincare routines. The Comfort Scrub has a gentle formulation of Wild Mango Butter and fine sugar crystals that goes from a gel-like texture into an oily texture upon application. The scrub can be used as both a face and lip scrub, and is suitable for all skin types, leaving your skin bright and glowy after usage.
Available online, in Clarins Boutiques and department stores
Wild Rose Beauty Balm from Neal’s Yard Remedies
Neal’s Yard Remedies launches a reformulated version of their much-loved skincare balm, and the Wild Rose Beauty Balm is now vegan friendly! By removing the beeswax as part of the ingredients, the balm now has a much lighter texture that’s more suitable for hot and humid weathers too. ! We’re not surprised this balm has reached cult statu because this wonder balm can be used as almost every step in your skincare routine – as a makeup remover, a moisturizer for your face or even your whole body, an overnight mask, as a cuticle softener, brow tamer… some people even says it makes for a great natural cheekbone highlighter.

Plump-C Tripeptide Lippe Mask from Drunk Elephant
Treat your chapped lips anytime with Drunk Elephant’s latest lip treatment – the Plump-C Tripeptide Lippe Mask. Dubbed the richer version of their Lippe Balm, the lip mask is for when your lips need more intensive treatment as it helps to lock in hydration whilst also improving the look of wrinkles by boosting collagen levels. It can be applied as often as needed, and can just be left without any need to rinse or wipe off, making it a good addition to your daily or travel routine if you suffer from dry lips!
