Tackle every concern in the eye area with these potent serums.
LIFT
La Mer The Lifting Eye Serum, $350.
This luxurious eye serum is light and quickabsorbing, leaving a subtle sheen that illuminates the eye area. It is designed to fight the effects of gravity with extracts of copper-rich blue algae, which is said to also boost the production of elastin.
DETOX
Dior One Essential Eye Serum, $110.
Think of this as a juice cleanse for the eye area. Courtesy of the detoxifying red hibiscus extract in it, skin cell renewal is reportedly given a boost, as is dull skin plagued by pollutants and late nights. Its balm-like texture melts into skin in seconds, leaving a cooling sensation that perks up tired eyes.
BRIGHTEN
Guerlain Orchidee Imperiale Eye Serum, $371.
Quite the miracle worker, this gel-like serum reduces puffiness and the look of fine lines within minutes, thanks to the butcher’s broom extract and soothing rhamnosoft, a polysaccharide, in the formula. Apparently, it also improves microcirculation with continued use, preventing dark circles.

Itching to get your hands on beauty products that aren’t yet available in Singapore? You can, before everyone else here does via www.shopandbox.com. The international site offers “matchmaking” services for shoppers. Let’s say you want to get the Kylie Lip Kit, which isn’t sold here yet. All you need to do is go to the website, create an account, fill in a form with all the relevant info, and the website will link you up with a shopper in the US who’ll pick up the product for you, pack it and ship it over. You’ll have to bear the shipping cost and pay a service fee to your shopper (this ranges from 10 to 14 per cent of the total cost of the items purchased), but trust us, it’ll be worth it. You can pick up fashion items, electronics, snacks and homeware via the site too!
