It’s the start of a brand new month very soon and while you’re stocking up on tried-and-tested products, we have curated a list of reformulated as well as brand-new products that have just hit the shelves to keep an eye out for. What’s intriguing is that some of these products contain ingredients that you’d associate more with your smoothie bowl than in your everyday makeup routine, so read on to find out what they are!

1. Marc Jacobs Under(Cover) Blurring Coconut Face Primer

Coconut water is pretty much an essential item in our pantries due to the sweltering heat of the Singapore sun, but have you ever wondered what it can do for your face? Thanks to Marc Jacobs’ Under(Cover) Blurring Coconut Face Primer, we can now know for sure! This new primer contains five forms of the coconut, which helps to blur imperfections, smooth out pores and fine lines, as well as control oil-production, creating a smooth base for your foundation to go on perfectly. On days where you’re a little lazy to put on a full face of makeup, this primer can also be worn on its own to enhance your natural complexion.

Marc Jacobs Under(Cover) Blurring Coconut Face Primer retails at SGD69 and is available at Sephora online and in stores.

2. Fresh Vitamin Nectar Glow Juice Antioxidant Face Serum

Fresh’s new Vitamin Nectar Glow Juice Antioxidant Face Serum is formulated to be a shot of nutritious goodness for your face, much like how cold-pressed juices are good for your body. Fresh uses a cutting-edge (no pun intended!) technique inspired by the process of making cold-pressed juices to extract oils from the ingredients. This blending method creates over 480,000 pulp-like microbubbles per 15ml bottle of serum containing vitamins and minerals that are only released upon contact with your skin.

Fresh Vitamin Nectar Glow Juice Antioxidant Face Serum retails for SGD45 and is available at all Fresh stores and on Sephora online and in stores.

3. Supergoop! Zincscreen 100% Mineral Lotion

Besides being a superfood that is super good for the body, the blueberry, used alongside winter cherry and coconut in the Zincscreen 100% Mineral Lotion, helps to protect the skin from free radical damage – a consequence of exposure to infrared radiation. This SPF40 sunscreen contains pink mineral pigments that result in a blendable, subtle pink tint with brightening effects. Its anti-inflammatory properties also make it a good fit for both oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin types and is thus a versatile product you’d want to have in your sunscreen repertoire.

Supergoop! Zincscreen 100% Mineral Lotion retails for SGD62 and is available at Sephora online and in stores.

4. ALBION Skin Conditioner 45th Anniversary Kit

ALBION has established itself in the skincare market as a brand that produces quality products enjoyed by people of all ages.

In addition, this lotion is mildly scented with a fresh botanical scent that loved by fans worldwide. The Anniversary Kit will contain a 330ml bottle of the Skin Conditioner, shampoo, and hair conditioner.

ALBION Skin Conditioner 45th Anniversary Kit retails at SGD147 and is available at ALBION counters at Takashimaya, Metro Centrepoint, and Robinsons Raffles City.

5. Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Intense Reset Concentrate

When used at night as the last step of your skincare regimen, the Advanced Night Repair Intense Reset Concentrate by Estée Lauder delivers a dose of hydration that’s perfect for skin skin that is irritated, dull, or dehydrated. It is able to do so through the use of a blend of stabilised salicylic acid and resveratrol, hyaluronic acid, as well as antioxidants that boost the health of your skin. The concentrate also has a calming scent with notes of chamomile, lavender, and hedione (smells like jasmine!), making it the perfect aromatherapeutic companion for us at bedtime.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Intense Reset Concentrate retails at SGD140 and is available at Estée Lauder stores and Sephora online and in stores.

6. Beyond Sun Protection

The team at Crystal Tomato has just launched Beyond Sun Protection, the only sunscreen that offers 54% protection against blue light – a cause of skin hyperpigmentation, redness, inflammation, and premature ageing. Blue light is emitted not just by computer screens, but also by the sun, fluorescent, and LED lighting, which are ubiquitous objects that are often found around us. This is why it is important for us to choose a sunscreen that doesn’t just protect our skin from UVA and UVB rays, but also damage from blue light.

Beyond Sun Protection retails at SGD78.80 and is available at Tangs L1 Tang Plaza (till 31 August 2019), authorized medical aesthetic clinics, and selected premium spas.

This blend of essential oils gives it the versatility to work as an all-in-one makeup setting and skincare product that you can bring with you as you commute throughout the day.

11. LUNASOL Coloring Glaze

Blush and highlight duos are our favourite because of the convenience of having two products in one place!

Available in three sets of warm, summery shades, this Coloring Glaze (enclosed in a gorgeous gold compact!) is definitely an item that you’d want to have in your repertoire of makeup palettes.
