GENTLEMAN OF THE HOUR ALL BASES COVERED

To match the glamour of the season, Swatch has launched the New Gents watch series. The timepieces in this range come in opulent black and gold tones, with classic, simple lines. Go for the shimmering Dazzling Light ($109) or the edgy Mystery Life ($109). For those who want a little more colour, opt for the two-tone Goldholic ($99), which makes a strong statement with its quirky strap. At Swatch boutiques. Kose Sekkisei White BB Cream ($39) is a multitasker that does the job of a skin-brightening serum, moisturiser, sunscreen, makeup base and a light foundation. Formulated with a blend of oriental plant extracts to brighten skin and retain moisture, it provides long-lasting coverage for skin blemishes like enlarged pores. It also offers high UV protection (SPF40/ PA+++) without a greasy feel. Comes in two shades. At Kose counters in leading department stores.
