The new five Couleurs Couture palettes enable you to create delicate as well as intense makeup looks, with shades that are all easy to apply, blend and wear.
– Peter Philips Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup

Shot by Richard Burbridge, the Diorshow campaign is stunningly beautiful. I couldn’t help being captivated by Bella Hadid’s gorgeous almondshaped eyes. Wearing the new five Couleurs Couture eyeshadows, as if dressing her eyes in haute coutures, she flaunted her universal beauty with an ever-changing style.

Drawing inspiration from flagship fashion pieces, Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, has reinvented makeup icons of the House – Diorshow Iconic Overcurl mascara, five Couleurs Couture eyeshadow palette and Diorshow 24H Stylo.

The new mascara not only gives a longer-wear curl, but also defines, coats and fans out lashes to the extreme in just one sweep for 24 hours of wear. Its incredibly precise, curved brush intensifies the natural curl of lashes. The formula, enriched with cotton nectar, delivers a serious dose of lash care for suppler and stronger lashes, giving spectacular volume and curl to every woman’s eyelashes.

With the iconic eyeshadow palette having a new couture twist: each palette was inspired by a famous Dior runway look. The five Couleurs Couture eyeshadows come in six new finishes – matte, satin, pearly, metallic, glitter and highlighter – and 14 colour assortments created by Peter Philips.

Among them, I am especially fond of #279 Denim and #079 Black Bow, both worn by Bella Hadid. The former gives a timeless, casual-chic style, while the latter is elegant, gorgeous and glamorous.

Eyeliner is the finishing touch for show-stopping eyes. The new Diorshow 24H Stylo has a smooth texture that glides beautifully onto the skin and creates a bold line with the first stroke. Highly pigmented, the colour finish is also waterproof and offers 24-hour wear. Round and precise, its retractable tip is easily sharpened with the built-in sharpener. The foam smudger is the perfect accessory for blending and softening the line to create a smoky eye.

As soon as I stepped into co-working space The Great Room, I pictured myself in a five-star, contemporary, high-design hotel, with elevated layout and composition.

The Great Room opened in One Taikoo Place early this year. “What we offer is an elevated environment,” says Jaelle Ang, co-founder of The Great Room. “Designed to look professional yet warm and inviting, with Instagram-perfect lighting, our aesthetics draw influence from the best hotel lobbies. We always work with hotel designers.”

Emphasising the philosophy ‘it’s all work, it’s all play’, this unique co-working space allows members to rent private offices or hot desks, or simply designate the location as their postal address. Professionals in town for a short period can purchase day passes. In addition, members can also choose to participate in community events organized by The Great Room, such as their monthly social – this Great Thirstday, virtual wellness sessions, meditation classes and nutrition workshops, all in mind with improving the wellness of members.

To complement its wellness initiatives, The Great Room also seeks to inspire its members with the new Great Minds Never Think Alike campaign – a compendium of recipes for a life better lived in work and in play. Through the campaign, members can discover how some of the brightest and highest performing personalities in the region work.

You are instantly transported to an oasis of calm the moment you set foot in the hotel, luring you into a tranquil, peaceful, Japanese-style open space.

Sowaka’s guestrooms and suites are discreetly arranged among green courtyards, with long corridors designed to evoke Kyoto’s alleyways. Traditional ryokan elements such as paper sliding doors and tea ceremony rooms are interwoven with modern comforts, bringing you an authentic Kyoto experience.

Meticulously decorated with selected furniture, fixtures and amenities, every considered detail at the guestrooms showcases local customs: cedar wood speakers, and cushioned, cashmere mattresses, bath amenities made with Japanese camelia oil from Kazurasei Shinise, a long-established skin care and hair care brand in Kyoto; while the hotel’s water is drawn from its own underground spring.

There is also a Michelin-starred restaurant next door. The award-winning Tokyo restaurant La BOMBANCE Gion offers exquisite, traditional Japanese cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Guests can also sample a curated selection of the finest Japanese whisky, sake and shochu at the on-site bar.

At Sowaka, the ancient streets and charming neighborhoods of Kyoto are on your doorstep. With private tours available to escape the crowds, guests are provided with specially tailored tours to experience Kyoto’s captivating history, exquisite craftsmanship and fascinating cultures.

You might also run into a legendary maiko as you wander along the beautiful streets of Hanamikoji and Yasaka.

Leica cameras are seen as a dream-come-true for every photography enthusiast.

With its exquisite craftsmanship and a long history of camera manufacturing technologies, Leica trumps in the genre of art photography. Among them, the Leica M series is the brand’s signature model and one of the top-notch cameras in the photography industry.

Following the launch of the M10 Monochrom for black and white photography early this year, the new M10-R completes the Leica M10 family. Like the M10 Monochrom, the M10-R delivers high resolution with its newly developed sensor that offers a resolution of over 40 megapixels, delivering a significantly enhanced rendition of details. Along with the clear visibility of even the finest details, the sensor provides extensive performance reserves for cropping and larger formats, making the M10-R well suited for landscape and architectural photography.

The M10-R’s base sensitivity of ISO 100 goes up to ISO 50000, while the maximum exposure time has been increased to 16 minutes, enabling extraordinary night-time shots with the use of a tripod. Equipped with the same shutter as the Leica M10-P, the Leica M10-R is not only exceptionally quiet, but also operates with minimal vibration, reducing the risk of camera shake and delivering photographs of a truly exceptional quality.

“The Gulfstream G700 redef ines safety, comfort and range at speed, making it the biggest news in business aviation history.”
─ Mark Burns, Gulfstream CEO

The Gulfstream G700 is the largest aircraft ever built by the General Dynamics subsidiary with its wingspan of 31.39 m. It can fly at its high-speed cruise of 1,074 km/h for 11,853 km or at its long-range cruise of 1,015 km/h for 13,890 km, which boasts the longest range at the fastest speeds in the industry.

The two Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines that powered the G700 generated 18,250 lb of thrust with its 131.6cm bladed disk fan that combines the company’s Advance2 engine core with a brand-new low-pressure system for greater efficiency.

In addition to electronically linked active control sidesticks and the most extensive use of touchscreen technology in business aviation, the Flight Deck is also equipped with Gulfstream’s Predictive Landing Performance System that gives pilots advanced warning of potential runway excursions so that they can adjust approaches or go around.

Boasting the tallest, widest and longest cabin in the industry, the all-new cabin on the G700 has up to five living areas, offering an extra-large ultragalley with a passenger lounge or crew compartment; a six-place dining or conference room; and a master suite with shower. Equipped with twenty panoramic oval windows, it allows passengers to enjoy the best flight experience.

Mark Burns also pointed out that while the G700 meets customer needs, it also offers unlimited possibilities. “Gulfstream has a long tradition of listening to our customers, and the G700 cabin is the evolution of that collaboration,” said Burns. “Customers shared how much they value flexibility and comfort in the cabin, all without compromising the speed and range advantages they have come to expect from Gulfstream.”

The G700 also offers a range of cabin amenities that revolutionise the benefits of businessjet travel, including the most advanced circadian lighting system in aviation. The Gulfstream cabin recreates sunrise and sunset through thousands of white and amber LEDs, gently coaxing passengers into their new time zone and greatly reducing the physical impact of travelling halfway around the world.

Our skin is honest. The most common response to autumn’s return is drier skin with red rashes. Let us find you a lifesaver in this dry-skin season to restore healthy skin and regain its radiance.

BEYORG, as an organic beauty and skincare store for Asian skin, offers the world’s very best natural and organic products. Among them is an organic mask launched by the Australian organic brand An Organic Revolution (A.O.R), that is specially developed for delicate Asian skin. Different from most conventional sheets which are made from a vast amount of chemicals combined with water, A.O.R’s Intensive Moisturizing Mask is made from 100% plant cellulose fibre, making it ultra-thin and breathable, while comfortable and easy on your skin. Various herbal active ingredients help penetrate to deep layers of the skin, locking in moisture, soothing complexions, and thus creating a radiant glow.

Starring Kakadu plum as the main ingredient in the mask gives it exceptional anti-oxidising and brightening properties since this power-packing fruit is the world’s richest source of vitamin C, containing 50 times more per 100g than oranges.

Pay attention to the warning signs from your skin and try to remedy and repair now.
