Red alert
There are few things sexier than red lipstick, and Fenty Beauty’s Red Collection has a shade for everyone, and every occasion.
Inspired by the signature red tones that Rihanna loves to wear, the new collection of Fenty Icon Semi Matte Refillable Lipsticks are made to make the ultimate statement. This semi-matte refillable lipstick was created to luxe up the every day and make it look easy, too.
Elevate your beauty collection with a customisable lipstick case in the brand’s most iconic shade, MVP. Choose your shade, choose your case, and be your own icon.
Rihanna is also expanding her curated lipstick wardrobe to include three new red shades so that everyone can find a classic to fit their mood.
Inspired by the iconic shape of Rihanna’s cupid’s bow, each Fenty Icon Fill offers precise application, high pigment colour, and a lightweight feel.

Embrace your power
Huda Beauty’s Empowered collection is inspired by the idea of channelling your big self worth energy into everything you do.
Manifest dreams, make bold moves and own your power, and “celebrate the you in whatever way makes you feel best”, is what founder Huda Kattan says about the collection, which includes the Empowered Eyeshadow Palette.
Whether your vibe is low key or you love to bring the drama, this luxurious line-up of buttery-smooth golds, coppers, browns, and neutrals is a must-have for every makeup bag.
Perfect for an eyeshadow newbie or a seasoned pro, these intensely pigmented formulas come in a variety of exquisite shades and innovative textures that are effortlessly easy to apply, build, and blend.
Warm glow
Gucci’s Blush De Beaute, a smooth, playful and multi-use powder blush is infused with shea butter, hyaluronic acid and black rose oil, giving it a smooth, blendable texture for a gorgeous and flirty flush of colour.
To give your face that warm “just fallen in love” flush, the Silky Rose shade is especially appropriate for this occasion.
Its adaptable formula of smooth powders and pigments is infused with emollient waxes to deliver buildable, long-lasting colour that intensifies seamlessly, layer after layer.
The hydrating, ultra-thin powder cares for all skin types, blending pleasantly and easily for a second-skin feel.
That personal touch
Skincare brand Handmade Heroes and florist LVLY are promoting self love and self care with their Valentine’s bundle, “Love Shack”.
The bundle includes a flower jar alongside Handmade Heroes’ iconic lip and body scrubs, a trio made perfect for pampering yourself or your loved ones, and you can add personalise your gift at the LVLY x Handmade Heroes pop-up flower shop at APW Bangsar until tomorrow.
All natural, free of preservative and parabens, completely vegan and cruelty free, the brand’s skincare is produced using the simplicity of the finest natural ingredients, which are nourishing and gentle on the skin.
