Clarins Make-Up Heroes Holiday Set, $88
This do-all kit has all you need for a quick beauty routine. Start with the Micellar Cleansing Water for a fresh, clean base, then pat on a layer of the SOS Primer for added radiance.
A swipe of the Wonder Perfect 4D Mascara adds length and volume oomph to lashes, and lastly, pucker up with the Lip Comfort Oil for a perfectly hydrated pout.

Dior Beauty The Natural Glow Ritual Makeup Set, $172
All you glowing girls, listen up. A selection of three fan-favourite radiance-boosting treats sit in this lust-worthy Christian Dior-emblemed pouch: the Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil in Pink, the Dior Rosy Glow in Pink, and the Dior Crème Apricot, a fortifying cream for the nails.
Use them all together for a glow from your lips to your tips.

Giorgio Armani Beauty Sì Eau de Parfum Intense Holiday Gift Set, $185
Sì didn’t make it up the Giorgio Armani scent charts without reason but Sì Eau de Parfum Intense will have you instantly saying “yes, please”. It retains its signature note of blackcurrant nectar but blends it with a velvety floral heart and a sensual vanilla bouquet that seductively lingers on the skin.
The Holiday Gift Set comes with a 50ml bottle of Sì Eau de Parfum Intense and a 15ml version.

Hermès Ombres D'hermès in 01 Ombres Pétales, $183

All six wheels including other of the House’s other beauty offerings are also available at an exclusive Hermès counter within Ion Orchard’s Essentials store.
