Beauty Box: How Chanel lifts years off your face
The products: Two new additions to Chanel’s revolutionary Le Lift range, the Le Lift Sérum and Le Lift Crème Yeux
What makes them unique: The Chanel Le Lift Sérum is endowed with anti-aging powers and creates an environment that encourages optimal development of cells. When applied with the Le Lift Cream, the serum heightens the anti-aging effectiveness to reveal toned, firmer and smoother skin. The formula has a part-gel, part-cream texture that is rapidly absorbed, leaving an ultra-fresh sensation on the skin. Two pumps are enough for the entire face and neck.
Le Lift Crème Yeux protects the eye contour, the most delicate area of the face. It improves eye muscle tone so the eyelids look lifted and firmer, and wide open. It fights against dark circles with a formula that stimulates microcirculation and diminishes eye bags by protecting blood vessels. It has a refined, velvety texture that is rapidly absorbed once applied, and is gentle on the eye contour. It is fragrance-free and moisturizes the skin.
Where to get them: Chanel Le Lift range comes in three textures: Le Lift Crème Fine, Le Lift Crème, and Le Lift Crème Riche. Chanel Le Lift Sérum and Le Lift Crème Yeux are available at Rustan’s.

What Blake Lively thinks of Gucci Première Eau de Toilette
The product: Gucci Première Eau de Toilette, a lighter, brighter and more delicate incarnation of Gucci Première Eau de Parfum
What it smells like: More understated than its perfume version, it is a fresh and sparkling scent that combines presence and sensual femininity. Radiant flowers and citrus notes bring lightness to it. At the heart of the fragrance are freesia, jasmine, and soft Bulgarian rose. As the fragrance dries on skin, the subtle warmth of leather, patchouli and musk complete the fragrance’s charm.
What Blake Lively says: “Fragrance is bottled confidence. While Gucci Première represents a red carpet moment or big night out, the new Eau de Toilette version is softer. It has all the presence of the original, but dialled down and freshened up. You can really wear it as your everyday fragrance.”
Where to get it: Gucci Première Eau de Toilette is exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corporation and available at department stores.
