Besides its anti-ageing qualities, roses have been known to help keep skin hydrated. The Rose by Dr. Dream Dream Age Radiance Powder Essence, $222 (4 x 5 g bottles), turns to liquid upon application and absorbs quickly. Pack this nifty product into your carry-on for a quick moisture boost on the plane.
Puffy eyes, begone! The cooling tip of the Crabtree & Evelyn Damask Rose Restoring Eye Cream, $50 (15 ml), helps to soothe and smooth. It contains hyaluronic acid, French Damask rose, rose of Jericho and hollyhock to gently hydrate the delicate eye area.
Just like an Elie Saab couture gown, the Elie Saab Le Parfum Rose Couture EDT, $125 (50 ml), envelopes you in a luxurious experience. Unlike lighter scents, its lush bouquet of orange blossom, rose petal honey, peony, jasmine and vanilla lingers on like a favourite memory.

Most people shy away from oils, no thanks to their greasy rep. But don’t knock them before trying them.

Count By Colours
We love it when beauty is both pretty and fun. These aren’t a box of markers, but a pack of Browhaus Heavy-Duty Bi-Liners, $12.90 each. Its waterproof gel liner on one end and a sharpener and soft-tip sponge on the other, help to create precise lines.
