In all honesty, you don’t usually expect a skincare pop-up to be much fun for the rest of the family – even if it’s something you want to check out for yourself!
However this month, there are not one, not two, but three skincare celebrations around town that you can actually visit and learn about powerful, useful products, while your kids are safely entertained. These pop-ups are a great way to get better acquainted with a brand or product, and also give you the opportunity to try their latest offerings (often with a little bonus to take home!). In the meantime, your kids can enjoy some (supervised) games, play with some balloons or just walk around while you shop. Don’t believe us? Read on.
Offering a fully immersive experience, the Atelier of Dreams pop-up includes three experiential zones: The Exceptional Chandelier that celebrates the House’s iconic J’adore Eau De Parfum, An Immersive Room that features an other-wordly installation with twinkling lights and The La Colle Noire Dining Hall that features a curated edit of Dior Beauty’s offerings. You can also explore Dior’s augmented reality (AR) filter, create greeting cards with limited-edition Dior stamps and indulge in cupcakes from The Marmalade Pantry. What’s not to love?
Dior The Atelier of Dreams is open till 1 January 2023. It is located at Ion Orchard, level 1 (outdoors).
Whether you’re on the hunt for holiday gifts, hostess presents or something exquisite for yourself, Gucci Beauty’s ION Orchard pop-up has you covered. Open through Jan. 2, the boutique carries their hero products — Cushion De Beauté and lipstick – decked in limited-edition prints and colours. Also find carefully curated fragrance gift sets that are worth giving to your friends and family – or yourself; we won’t judge.
The Gucci Beauty Holiday Pop-Up is located outside ION Orchard. Open till January 2023
Ever find yourself stopping in your tracks as you walk along the River Seine at a florist stand and just standing there to admire the beautiful bouquets that fill the shelves? Filled with an array of different flowers and scents, yet they always go so well together.
Now, imagine turning that beautiful bouquet into a fragrance that you can wear all day, every day. With the Chloe Ateliers Des Fleurs collection, you can create your very own fragrance bouquet with its range of different scented blooms. The collection boasts a range of 17 singular floral scents, from Cedrus and Magnolia, to Mimosa and Neroli, and the newly launched Violette and Santalum.
The good news: You don’t have to travel to Paris to create your personalised olfactory bouquet.
Designed to bring the Parisian florist experience to you, head over to the Chloe Ateliers Des Fleurs pop-up at Raffles City where you can discover all 17 Chloe Des Fleurs fragrances.
But that’s not all. Every Friday to Sunday in November, between 2-5pm, you get to enjoy complimentary services such as gift wrapping when buying a hand-picked fragrance bouquet for your closest or yourself, charm engraving, fragrance miniatures and personalised gifts. And this is happening throughout the month of November.
Visit the Chloe Atelier Des Fleurs pop-up store at #01-40A Raffles City. Open till February 2023.
