Youthful, smoother skin in just seven days with Lancome’s Genifique Youth Activator

MANILA, Philippines - Lancome’s Génifique Youth Activator is the first anti-age serum formulated to reactivate the genes in the skin. It is a beauty wake-up call to genes deep within the skin that have gone dormant because of age. Once revived, these genes stimulate the production of youth proteins that return skin to its soft, supple, glowing best.

The product is great for women of all ages and skin types.

The promise is skin that is smoother, less lined, more velvety and refined.

Seven days is all it takes to see a remarkable improvement.

Lancome is available at Rustan’s.

Two-in-one treat: Rose Duet offers two iconic Diptyque scents combined into one candle.

Diptyque’s Rose Duet is a garden of delights

Diptyque’s newest creation was inspired by the mysterious Rose Duet, a hybrid rose well-known to botanists for its unique petals, which are light on the side and dark on the other.

Rose Duet offers a unique fragrance experience: two iconic diptyque scents combined into one candle. The perfumer, now a master in the art of candle-making, has juxtaposed two waxes with different fragrances — Roses and Baies — to create a combination of unusual, poetic scents. Roses capture the essence of the intoxicating scent of a freshly cut bouquet of this iconic flower. Baies expresses the tender freshness of a bouquet of roses sprinkled with blackcurrant leaves.

To produce a modern-looking design, Diptyque has drawn from the rich heritage of English wallpaper. The dual nature of the candle is represented by a succession of interwoven stripes of roses and blackcurrant.

Diptyque is available at Rustan’s.
