Skincare that keeps pace with Singapore’s heat: La Prairie’s Pure Gold Collection enters a new era with the Pure Gold Revitalising Essence, designed to soothe, densify and restore radiance, especially when skin feels dehydrated, fragile or dull from hot, humid days and strong indoor cooling. Powered by the Advanced Pure Gold Diffusion System (with the brand’s exclusive Cellular Complex), the essence is the first step of the ritual to help support barrier function, hydration and luminosity over time; pair it with the Pure Gold Radiance Cream for a day-to-night glow.

Baccarat has recently unveiled a newly conceived concept store at ION Orchard, a 320 sq ft “keepsake jewel box” that reinterprets the maison’s French elegance with a modern, interactive twist. Guests are greeted by an eight-light Zenith chandelier that bathes the space in Baccarat’s signature vibrant red, while a central oval podium invites hands-on discovery across curated barware and homeware. Shelves to the left spotlight seasonal creations and a striking wall of tumblers, with playful drawers offering hidden variations, turning browsing into a refined treasure hunt. Mirrors, chandeliers and lacquered panels bounce light throughout, amplifying the brilliance of crystal and blending tradition with contemporary design. Visit the new ION Orchard boutique, or explore sister locations at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands and Takashimaya.
