OPI nails has released five lacquers (above) inspired by the Elvis Presley musical All Shook Up.

The names are A Little Less Conversation (a lemon yellow), Burning Love (bright orange), Can't Help Falling in Love (fuchsia), It's Now or Never (jewelled purple) and All Shook Up (shimmery red). Each bottle is $120. OPI also has Jukebox Junior mini packs ($160 a pack) which contain co-ordinating glittery clear coats that can be layered over the coloured lacquer. The new colours aren't available until mid-June, but will be sold at Beau Nails, Ellespa, Essential Spa, Expert Nail, Fingertrix, Hair by M2K, I-Spa and Nail Station, among others.
Diptique has added a new candle to its collection. Pois de Senteur ($390) is the scent of sweet peas, a delicate flower mostly found in a soft lilac. The candle has a strong floral fragrance that is sweeter than other Diptique products. For those looking for a more musky candle scent, Hotel Costes in Paris has released a range of fragrance products including a deep mauve-coloured candle ($590) with hints of incense, wood, white pepper and lavender that combine to create a more masculine aroma. It also has bath flakes ($300), shampoo ($260), body lotion ($300), massage oil ($350) and a home room fragrance ($580). Both candles are available only at Joyce boutiques in New World Tower, Central, Lane Crawford IFC Mall and the Gateway, Canton Road, TST.
Beauty group Chantecaille's new Bio Lift Concealer ($590, above) claims to erase fine lines as it covers them. It comes in a slim silver case and is two-toned. The white core is said to deliver the anti-wrinkle ingredient hexapeptide, which is designed to relax existing lines and prevent new ones from forming. It also contains moisturisers in the form of soybean and vitamin E. The surrounding colour stick gives smooth coverage for dark circles under the eyes and also contains a non-chemical SPF 10 sunscreen. It comes in shades of ivory, chamomile, cream, shea, vanilla and nude. Available from Chantecaille's store, Seibu, Level One, Pacific Place.
Chanel has a new range of toiletries to complement its Allure Homme Sport fragrance for men. The range comes in simple black and white containers, and includes a hair and body wash ($215), spray deodorant ($175), deodorant stick ($155), aftershave lotion ($325) and moisturiser ($275). Chanel says Homme Sport is a combination of mandarin, cedar and black pepper and aims to create a 'casual and refined' scent. Available from Chanel counters.
