The month of May welcomes a whole slate of surprises in the beauty world. Perhaps the most exciting launch of the month is the arrival of Haus Labs by Lady Gaga in Singapore. Almost six years after its founding, the inclusive, high-performance makeup line is (finally!) in town, at Sephora. The cult-favourite label has been tried and tested by beauty enthusiasts in the West, and now that it’s upon our shores, it’s time to see if it’s truly worth the applause.
Keep reading to discover the must-have items from Haus Labs, plus some exciting and eccentric new fragrances to consider for your summertime escapades.
Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Lands In Singapore
The wait is over, it’s finally here! Founded by Lady Gaga in September 2019, Singapore is the first country in the Asia Pacific region to carry Haus Labs’s full range of makeup products. Real beauty girls will have heard of the brand’s Triclone Skin Tech™ Foundation and Triclone Skin Tech™ Concealer, for their buildable, high coverage and colour-correcting properties (thanks to active, potent skincare-forward ingredients). But if you’re looking for a more “fun” product from the brand to add to your makeup routine, we recommend the Bio-Radiant™ Gel-Powder Highlighter in Fire Opal, which works beautifully on most skin tones as a blush topper.
Haus Labs by Lady Gaga is now available in Sephora stores and online here.
Penhaligon’s New Eclectic Fragrance
Fragrances are deeply personal, and it can be tricky sometimes to find that one scent that you feel illustrates your personality. And if you’ve been on the lookout for a new and unique scent to add to your perfume library, look no further than Penhaligon’s latest creation: Fortuitous Finley. The warm, leather scent is imbued with notes of black pepper, salted pistachio, matcha and of course, leather. Combine these and you have a fragrance that’s full of intrigue and character.
Fortuitous Finley from Penhaligon’s is available Tangs Orchard, Penhaligon’s Marina Bay Sands and Penhaligon’s Raffles City.
Nars’s The Hot Escape Collection
Bring on the summer blaze with Nars Cosmetics’s The Hot Escape collection. Featuring lip oils, versatile eyeshadow sticks and cheek palettes, the collection is perfect for channelling that sun-soaked, beachside look that we love. The all-in-one cheek palettes, in particular, caught our attention this season. With two blushes, one bronzing powder and one highlighting powder, it works as a great on-the-go tool that you can whip out for an extra pop of colour while lounging on your chaise. The palettes come in two colour variations—one with cool-toned shades and one with warm—so you can match your mood for the day, and maybe even the colour of your swimsuit?
The Hot Escape collection from Nars Cosmetics is available at Nars boutiques, Sephora and on Lazada.
