Beauty Sweep: Diptyque’s Do Son collection, Tom Ford Beauty’s Rose Prick series and more

Diptyque’s Do Son perfume has been given a creative rebirth this year in a collaboration with young Parisian studio Werlen Meyer. In a short film inspired by the childhood memories of Yves Coueslant, one of the perfumer’s founders, Diptyque brings you back to the source of Do Son following the trail of Vietnamese junk boats and tuberoses. A time-limited collection is thus born, highlighting all of the perfume’s green, aquatic, floral, creamy and sunny facets in fragrance, body care and candle form.

Ringing in the new year, Tom Ford Beauty is revamping some of its hero makeup products into a popular matte pink packaging inspired by the classic Rose Prick fragrance. Enter the Rose Prick Collection, made up of two Satin Matte Lip Colors #26 To Die For and #57 Naked Rose; two Eye Color Quads #01 Forbidden Pink and #35 Rose Topaz; and one Cushion Compact Case. Gift your loved ones an individual product or even the whole collection, if you’re feeling generous, for Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day.

Dark spots, begone! Fenty Skin’s newest launch is the Watch Ya Tone serum, a concentrated cocktail of powerful dark spot-fighting ingredients to give you brighter skin. Composed of 5% niacinamide, vitamin C, liquorice root extract and Barbados cherry, the serum not only boosts radiance but also fades the look of dark areas and discolourations. According to founder and singer Rihanna herself, results start showing in just one week and will continue to become more visible and significant over time.

Visibly sculpted, radiantly energised — this is what Estee Lauder promises after you use its new Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Sculpted Transformation Creme. Powered by a concentration of exclusive Black Diamond Truffle Extract and potent SIRT-2 youth-sustaining technology, the creme improves six facets of your face — lifting the jawline, cheeks and nasolabial folds and smoothing out forehead lines, necklines and glabellar wrinkles.

Since its establishment in 1985, Jurlique has grown its own roses using advanced biodynamic farming methods in South Australia. In 2023, the brand developed its rose series a step further with the launch of the Rare Rose Face Oil. Using supercritical CO2 extraction, the natural fragrance of the Jurlique rose and its aromatherapeutic properties are captured at a high concentration and used as an extract. Simply massage three to five drops on the forehead, cheeks and chin for a boost of moisture to enhance skin elasticity and suppleness.
