New boutiques

Looking for a new beauty shopping experience? These new stores aim to offer that.

Lancome's new boutique, La Maison Lancome at Capitol Piazza, is the brand's first stand-alone store in Singapore. The 680 sq ft gilded boutique features a private consultation area; a fragrance corner; as well as a cabin that offers Lancome's signature 90-minute facial services.

Look out for the soap-making corner at the new 2,450 sq ft Innisfree boutique at VivoCity. There, you can customise your own bar of green tea, volcanic clay, or tangerine soap. This Innisfree store also stocks an exclusive range of body spritzes, room diffusers and scented vegetable wax candles (created in collaboration with cult Korean perfumery Soohyang).

The latest Etude House boutique at VivoCity comes with a spacious nail salon area, where you can get a manicure and pedicure.

Prices start from $20. To mark its launch, the brand has also rolled out the Dreaming Swan make-up collection. The eye, cheek, lip and nail products are decorated with whimsical illustrations by popular Australian fashion illustrator Kerrie Hess.
