GENTLE BLOOM

For those times when you just want to have a simple and uncomplicated day, reach for a scent that has more linear notes, like THE BODY SHOP's Glowing Cherry Blossom Eau de Toilette (P1595/50ml). It opens with soft floral notes of Japanese cherry blossom and osmanthus flower, then dries down with a muted musky undertone of sandalwood. Not too faint, nor too overpowering, it gives off the right amount of freshness like passing by a garden in bloom

LIGHT LIFTING

While the MEGA beauty team is a huge fan of lash extensions, we are also aware that they aren't exactly for everyone. Aside from requiring extra care, the maintenance can also be costly in the long run. Thankfully, we've finally found false lashes that can replicate the look! Enter FABOULASH's Lashtensions in L6 (P249)-false lashes that no one will believe aren't yours. These lashes are designed with high-quality, lightweight silk material and an invisible band so that even a novice or beginner makeup user can apply them without any trouble
