This September, we invite you to switch things up. After all, we’re in one of the most transformative months of the year: the weather starts to cool down, the fashion calendar springs back to life—ready for the Fall/Winter 2025 campaigns?—and our wardrobes are seeking a refresh. But it’s not just our clothes that need to be updated. The new season (and new month) calls for us to review our beauty closets as well.
Ahead, discover new fragrances and skincare goodies to add to your beauty lineup, stat.
Chanel’s New Button-Inspired Eyeshadow Collection
Inspired by the house’s extensive archive of buttons, Chanel Beauty has debuted an adorable collection of limited-edition eyeshadow palettes. Designed and created by Ammy Drammeh, a member of Chanel’s Cometes Collective, these Les 4 Ombres palettes each find meaning and play in symbols synonymous with the maison. From the iconic Nº5 fragrance bottle to the lucky charms that Coco Chanel herself held dear to her heart, each of the 16 eyeshadows are steeped in the history of the brand, while featuring delicate embossed details.
Of the four available palettes, my favourite has to be the Boutons Baroque. The shining star of the quartet is the vibrant magenta-tinted purple shade—perfect for just a touch of colour on the lids. As someone who doesn’t reach for eyeshadows too regularly, I found the formula of these eyeshadows to be silky smooth and easy to use. The pigments are made for layering and blending so you don’t need to worry too much about patchy application. Let your creative spirit take over; the possibilities are endless.
Chanel’s Les 4 Ombres Boutons collection is available at all Chanel Fragrance and Beauty boutiques, counters and online.
The Sisleÿa Longevity Essential Serum
You can’t turn back the hands of time, but with Sisley’s new Sisleÿa Longevity Essential serum, you’re one step closer. The Parisian beauty label, best loved for its potent anti-ageing skincare formulations, is taking youthful radiance to the next level with their newest offering. Part of the brand’s Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge range, the Longevity Essential serum reactivates the skin’s natural youth potential from the inside out, and combats signs of ageing—discolouration, sagging, wrinkles and dehydration—with a single dose. The key thing to remember with Sisley products (or any skincare routine, really) is that consistency is paramount. Take your time now to care for your complexion, your future self will thank you for it.

Dior Beauty’s Le Micro-Fluide Teint de Rose Activated Foundation
Who doesn’t love a multitasking product? Thanks to Dior Beauty’s Le Micro-Fluide Teint de Rose Activated foundation, your complexion will glow from within. The new formulation’s Nutri-Rosapeptide features six times the amount of the original’s micronutrients so your skin gets a revitalising treat as you wear your makeup. This serum-foundation hybrid comes in seven shades, and is enhanced with copper—a skin-loving ingredient that beats fatigue and signs of ageing.
Dior Beauty’s new Le Micro-Fluide Teint de Rose Activated foundation is available at all Dior Beauty boutiques, counters and online.
Guerlain’s New Absolus Allegoria Florabloom
Floral fragrance girls, Guerlain has a real treat for you this month. The Parisian beauty label has just unveiled their new Absolus Allegoria Florabloom scent. The fragrance, created by perfumer and director of perfume creation at Guerlain Delphine Jelk, is a true botanical. The Absolus Allegoria Florabloom features the brand’s proprietary Four O’Clock Flower accord, made up of rose, frankincense, ylang ylang. But beyond the softer, flowery notes, there’s a secret ingredient here we don’t often see: mango. The addition of mango imbues the fragrance with a velvet, alluring fresh character, while sandalwood and patchouli warms up the base notes on the nose.
Alluring and addictive, the scent brings out the most feminine side in all of us. I love this scent for sensual nights out with my beau, or on days where I need an extra spritz of confidence.

Lancaster Lands In Singapore
Lancaster, the leading suncare label hailing from Monaco, has finally reached our shores. Powered by skincare technology and science-backed research, the brand brings its expertise to our sunny side of the world. And while Lancaster has an extensive portfolio of suncare products—no more excuse to skip sunscreen, ladies—the favourite is the Sun Beauty Body Milk SPF50, which defends the body against both UVA and UVB rays, without leaving a greasy finish on the skin.

Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif
Chanel has added a new men’s fragrance to its slate of delightful olfactive creations, but, hey, it’s 2025. You can wear whatever scent resonates with you—that’s what we believe here at GRAZIA Singapore, anyway.
The French maison recently unveiled the Bleu de Chanel L’Exclusif with a glittering event in Bangkok. The event—attended by brand ambassadors and GRAZIA Singapore cover stars Rebecca Armstrong and Ally Nitibhon, alongside Gemini Norawit, Blue Pongtiwat and Baipor Thitiya—introduced Olivier Polge’s new creation. Featuring New Caledonian sandalwood, leather and amber notes, the fragrance presents a fresh take on what men’s fragrances can be. Layered and nuanced, the scent isn’t overwhelming or too masculine in its depth.
At the brand’s local activation, I loved how the scent transformed on the skin. Velvety and creamy after the first spritz, it later moved into warm, smoky territory.
