For a small city, we have a lot of options when it comes to beauty – and we’re absolutely not complaining. In fact, when we heard that there are even more beauty brands that are going to be made available to us, we cheered and did a little dance. This is especially when the new brands we have in this list offer some of the most raved about products by international users.

1. Cute Press

If you’ve been following Daily Vanity, you’ll know that we are in love with Thai brand Cute Press and have listed them as one of the best beauty brands to look out for when you’re in Bangkok. We’ve also introduced their My Melody makeup collection when it first launched, which many of you were excited about – just take a look at the Facebook post about it!

Known for offering products with great quality at affordable prices, Cute Press has finally made its way to Singapore! You’ll now be able to find its Disney collection featuring adorable characters like Bambi & Thumper, Marie, Dalmatians, and Dumbo.

Called Let the Adventure Begin, the collection consists of several products, including the Cashmere Lip Crayon (SGD16.90), Cheek Palette (SGD22.90), Oil Control Cushion Foundation (SGD25.90), and Eye & Cheek Palette (SGD22.90).

But if we were to pick our favourite from the collection, it will have to be the Lip & Cheek Gel, which helps create a healthy glow and offers eight-hour hydration on cheeks. You’ll also love that it has great colour payoff that will add significant radiance to your complexion instantly.

The Oil Control Cushion Foundation is another product that’s worth checking out. This has medium coverage with a silky-smooth finish, and leaves your face looking matte for 12 hours – perfect for our hot and humid weather.

Cute Press will be available exclusively at selected Watsons stores, including Takashimaya S.C. and Bugis Junction.

Find more information on their Instagram and Facebook page.

2. BYBI Beauty

This London-based clean beauty brand was started by two trained natural product formulators and natural beauty bloggers in 2017 and had gained a cult following since.

The eco-friendly brand uses plastic tubes that are made out of sugarcane-derived bioplastics that are recyclable and industrially compostable. Bybi also uses glass as a raw material for containers, and make sure they print on the glass, instead of use labels, to make the recycling process easier.

Their naturally derived products are amazing too. Try the Bybi Beauty Babe Balm (SGD35), a multi-purpose product that can be used to hydrate any part of the body. Apply it on your face and neck as an intense night treatment, or on the lips to soothe flakiness.

Bybi Beauty is available on Sephora online and Sephora Takashimaya S.C..

3. The Feisty Chick

Looking at the gorgeous packaging of The Feisty Chick’s products, you’ll know it’s not hard to fall in love with the brand. But what will make you swoon is their signature product – the Winged Liner Set.

Each of these sets contain wing stamps (for left and right eyes) and one felt tip eyeliner. Using these two tools, you’ll be able to stamp perfect eyeliner wings at the upper corner of each eye and then line the rest of your lash line.

Two styles of wings are available: Sassy Winged Liner Set (7.5mm long for the perfect cat eye look) and Sleek Winged Liner Set (9.5mm long and slimmer so you can create a precise, pointed look). Created to suit Asian eye shapes, these are exactly what you need to get wings that are on fleek whether you have single, tapered, hooded or double eyelids.

The brand’s website has just gone live a few days ago and they currently only stock this product. Each Winged Liner Set retails at SGD34 and you can purchase them from their website.

4. VDIVOV

THEFACESHOP has launched a professional makeup brand – VDIVOV – that offers products that are bold, trendy, yet wearable.

Inspired by the philosophy of “beauty contrast”, all products are designed to help you create contrasting looks. This means that if you value versatility, you’re going to get a lot of utility from the products from VDIVOV.

VDIVOV offers a variety of products ranging from lipsticks, base makeup to eyeliners and mascaras. We would highly recommend the Lip Cut Rouge Velvet (SGD29), a semi-matte lipstick that delivers long-lasting wear and a soft, melting texture for smooth application.

VDIVOV products are available at all THEFACESHOP and THEFACESHOP -Nature Collection outlets.

5. The Inkey List

The Inkey List may be a very new brand, but they have been talked about a lot in international publications since their launch. Now they’re finally available in Singapore – in Sephora online, and then they will also stock their products at Sephora ION from 29 August.

Known for their no-nonsense formula and easy-to-understand product names (featuring the key ingredient of the formula), The Inkey List also offers good quality at a low price.

Try their Vitamin C Serum (SGD18) if you’re looking for an antioxidant to protect your skin from environmental pollutants or the Alpha Hydroxy Acid Serum (SGD18) for a gentle exfoliant that leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

6. Sand & Sky

You probably have seen reviews of Sand & Sky products, especially their clay mask that is highly raved about by people who have tried it. The Australian brand has finally debuted in Singapore and is now available on Sephora online.

They have two products: the Australian Pink Clay Porefining Face Mask (SGD69.90) and Australian Pink Clay Flash Perfection Exfoliating Treatment (SGD59.90). They’re so popular, they’re often out of stock, so add yourself to the wait list to get your hands on it once it’s made available again.

7. Forest Rhapsody

Debuting with three products, Forest Rhapsody uses only botanical actives in their formulas to care for your skin in the most delicate way possible. Choosing only tried-and-tested ingredients that have been proven to work well with one another and able to complement skin’s natural ability to regenerate itself, Forest Rhapsody also offers a great sensorial experience with their products, evident from the pampering texture they come in. .

If you were to only try one product from their offering, we’ll recommend the Dew Drops Enzymatic Cleansing Gel. This cleanser-and-mask multi-tasker is a bestseller in the USA and is designed to cleanse while nourishing our skin with a suite of skin-loving ingredients. This product is formulated with gentle enzymes, plant oils, and soothing extracts to care for your skin lavishly. It sloughs off dead skin cells, soothes and calms your skin, and unclog impurities all at the same time.

The Dew Drops Enzymatic Cleansing Gel retails at USD65 and is available on the Forest Rhapsody website.

8. Biossance

New at Sephora, Biossance is a clean beauty brand that uses Squalane as the key ingredient in its products. Clean, nontoxic skincare is at the heart of the brand; they blacklist over 2,000 ingredients that have been proven toxic or are potentially toxic to users and the environment.

Try their Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum if you’re new to the brand. One of their bestsellers, this serum features a plant-derived alternative to retinol you can enjoy anti-ageing benefits without irritating your skin.

Biossance Squalane + Phyto Retinol Serum retails at SGD43 and, together with their other products, will be available exclusively on Sephora online from 6 August.
