As the local beauty industry has returned to its former glory with drops by the day, we have taken it into our hands to talk weekly about some of the best beauty launches. Some are noteworthy for their instant results, while others are special simply because they make us feel and look good while looking good themselves.
Here, the top 10 beauty launches that landed on GRAZIA’s beauty desk or piqued our interest this week.
Pictured Above: KVD Beauty Surreal Bloom Metallic Vegan Eyeshadow Palette
The perfect gold eyeshadow—never too glittery or chunky—called Secondsight is encased within this palette and is grounded with other party-ready shades like a glacial teal Hyperdream and prismatic iris Pschyout. But the real clincher for us is how its formula lasts through cocktails, dinner, dancing, and afterparty with no smudging.

Bachca Sea Green Opaline Comb
A work of art that also happens to help fashion your hair into one—the rounded teeth of this pearlescent beauty gently detangles your hair while providing just the right amount of friction to hold it as you fasten it into a style.
$27, SHOP NOW.
Celine Illuminations Candle
Step one to getting ready before a wild night: Light this candle that’s scented with absolutes of incense, rockrose, cedar, and birch to get you into the mood. Next, picture yourself as the sexiest person in the room. That is the magic of this candle that’s done by the king of slinky, Hedi Slimane.
$165 for 240g, SHOP NOW.
Kilian Paris Fièvre Verte EDP
The scent of absinthe has a surprisingly lush herbal note that’s ideal for a romantic evening and this perfume blends it with sensual violet leaf, sweet iconic root, and earthy vetiver for a scent that’s guaranteed to garner you compliments from both your date and strangers.
$395 for 50ml, SHOP NOW.
L:A Bruket 253 Elemental Body Oil Bergamot Patchouli
After a long day out, wouldn’t it be utterly decadent to smooth a luscious oil over your body? This one contains deeply repairing vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids and is scented with relaxing wood and citrus notes.
$77, SHOP NOW.
Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil
Our secret weapon this party season for quick makeup touch ups is this pen that handily fits into a clutch and lends itself to different uses: an eyeshadow, liner, lip liner, and even a blush if need be. And just don’t take out word for it as its fans include Hailey Bieber and Jennifer Lopez.
$39, SHOP NOW.
Moist Diane Extra Scalp Refresh Liquid Shampoo
We can’t guarantee that this detox shampoo is as effective as an in-salon treatment but if you’re in-between sessions because of a lack of time, just one use of it deep cleanses and exfoliates with acids while hydrating at the same time with collagen and hyaluronic acid.
$19.90, SHOP NOW.
Origins Peace Of Mind Moisturizing Hand Cream
For those who love to doom scroll in bed with moisturised digits, Origins has produced a cream that softens with meadowfoam seed oil and glycerin while leaving a non-sticky feel. And for those who immediately turn the lights out, its soothing scent of peppermint, basil, and eucalyptus guarantees a pleasant sleep.
$38, SHOP NOW.
RYO Hair Loss Expert Care Perfume Treatment in Gyeongju Moon
As you wait in the shower for this ginseng-enriched cream to relieve dryness, scalp itchiness, and odour, take some time to inhale its romantic scent that contains aromatics like thyme and lilies. Did you picture a cosy autumn night? If so, you’re right on the nose.
$16.10, SHOP NOW.
Tom Ford Beauty Soleil De Feu Glow Highlighter
It might be near impossible to mimic the glow Dua Lipa has in her Houdini music video but one swipe of this shimmering highlighter might get you close. Its length of wear even goes up to 10 hours on oily skin and in fact, looks more radiant the greasier you get.
$130, SHOP NOW.
