Lipsticks flew off *virtual* shelves when Selena Gomez teased the launch of her beauty line, now the wait is finally over (almost).

I just want to be me. I want us all to stop comparing ourselves to each other and start embracing our uniqueness. You’re not defined by a photo, a like, or a comment. Rare Beauty is about how you see yourself.” In line with its mission to empower, the collection is all-encompassing with 48 shades of foundation, concealer, blush, highlighter, two different kinds of lipstick, and liquid liner, among other products.

GLASSHOUSE FRAGRANCES Sugar Coated Trick or Treat
Back my popular demand, GLASSHOUSE FRAGRANCES fans will be overjoyed to hear that the cult limited-edition Trick or Treat candle, originally launched for Halloween, is back.

Infused with orange zest and topped with maple, cinnamon, caramelised sugar and flaked coconut, it’s the perfect treat for those with a penchant for sweet.
Manicare DermaSOOTHE Massage Globe

Massage along the jawline, cheeks and forehead in either an upward or downward motion to lift or detox the skin.
