ReVive Sensitif Oil Free Lotion (HK$1,760/60ml) is surprisingly light and non-greasy for a moisturiser with SPF15, which means that it helps you stay matte. Recommended for normal to oily skin, it is supposed to be ideal for men or those living in a climate such as Hong Kong's. Exclusive to Joyce Beauty.

OPI's new Espresso Soak and Green Tea Soak (HK$140/125ml) clean and soften the hands and feet. They work well when used in conjunction with the Cappuccino Mask and White Tea Mask (HK$225/125ml) to help hydrate and protect (bottom centre).

In Essence Aromatherapy Face Lift Serum (HK$700/30ml) is an anti-ageing formula to target wrinkles and slackened skin (bottom right). Exclusive to Sasa.

Michael Kors' Island Capri EDP Spray (HK$450/50ml) is prettily packaged in blue glass (second from right) but the scent smells so alcoholic it's hard to get the essence of what is supposed to capture a 'Mediterranean experience'.

Sanctuary Creme Souffle (HIK$149/475ml) is a light whipped body cream (bottom left) that should be applied after a scrub. It goes on nicely but unfortunately leaves a sticky film on the skin. The smell seems artificial.

Model Co's Tan Self-Tanning Glove (below left, HK$320/4 gloves) is an innovative way to get a tan. You wipe the disposable glove over your body and a natural-looking but deep colour appears overnight. The lotion from the glove smells pleasantly of cocoa butter but because it is colourless and dries quickly, it is hard not to miss patches and cover the same areas twice. As a result, avoiding streaks takes practice.
