Style it with a stunning pair of heels and you’ve got a dinner date look that’ll help to hide your food baby (and who doesn’t want that)!

Shopee Laneige Holiday Basic Duo Set Moisture S$86 Shop Now

There are periods of time when my skin goes through a frustrating drought. My nose, forehead and the area around my lips tend to get rather patchy and it seriously affects my makeup application and hence, my overall mood. So when I first tried Laneige’s Water Series, I fell in love! This set, which is the perfect product curation for those with dry or combo skin, has products from the Water Bank and Basic Care series. Together, all the products work to revive dry, flaky skin and restore a healthy glow.

We’d say she can look forward to the Water Sleeping Mask the most, which promises to purify and rejuvenate stressed skin, so the wearer will wake up with supple and hydrated complexion. The calming scent sets her in the mood for bed while the gel works wonders on skin overnight. The best thing about this mask is that it’s so lightweight, it can be used every night (if her skin is in dire need of course). It’s one of the best sleeping masks I’ve tried and definitely a great moisture set for her!
