Raze’s founder Vince Fong details how the company’s journey began with an unexpected yet purposeful foray into sanitisation, spurred by the challenges posed by COVID-19. Looking beyond the immediacy of COVID-19, he has expanded Raze’s offerings to include a range of simple-to-use, highly functional consumer products that seamlessly integrate into the fabric of everyday life.
My pick of the season is the Boreal Bliss collection, which captures the essence of a mystical Scandinavian forest to bring you the natural festivity and scents of the winter season. Camphor encourages deep relaxation, while clean pine needle clears the mind of stresses. Wrapped in cedar wood and fir balsam, it creates a grounding and comforting embrace. A must-have item is the Moisturising Mist; the gentle aroma is coupled with an immediate lightweight hydration brought by sweet almond oil, glycerin, and Vitamin E. For avid explorers, I recommend the Sanitising Mist that is my constant travel companion. Hypoallergenic and effective in extinguishing viruses and bacteria, it provides a sense of comfort whilst keeping my hands hydrated. What I love about the RAZE portable cases for these mists is its user-friendly “Plug, Twist and Spritz” process, which revolutionises the way the product is deposited, ensuring convenience and sustainability.
100% cruelty free and vegan, the HF x Belleterra Beauty LipJuice Peptide Treatment is packed with nutrients and ingredients specifically formulated to protect and hydrate your lips, such as peptide-stimulated collagen, avocado oil, jojoba oil and glycerin. The treatment’s ingredients are intentionally chosen to ensure that even the most sensitive of lips look youthful, full and plump for the winter weather. For those amongst us who favor a natural look, it also corrects pigmentation and discoloration, giving your lips the rich and natural pink hue that shines in photos. I usually wear this treatment after lining my lips with Charlotte Tilbury’s lip liner
in Pillow Talk.
The Miller Vegan Leather Trench adds a sophisticated twist to the traditional trench coat. In the age of sustainability, the use of natural dyes (sourced from Japan, including bamboo charcoal from Oita, wine from Yamanashi and rice from Nagano) and vegan leather allows you to look ethically fabulous! The flared skirt adds flair and versatility to your wardrobe — its natural elegance allows you to transition between daytime practicality and nighttime glamour. My top pick is the one in pink. I think that the colour is elegant, feminine, and versatile.
The Mini Sau features a stylish and sophisticated silhouette with Sau Lee’s
signature and emblematic hand-tied pipa knot buttons. Small in size and covered in sparkling crystals, this bag is an absolute must-have for Christmas festivities or a girl’s night out. My colours of choice are champagne and silver.
