Welcome to #BEBEinsider, a series where friends share what beauty products they’re really loving. For May 2025, Cloe Mak shares five of her favourite beauty products. Cloe is a digital content creator and social media enthusiast who’s drawn to all things aesthetic, beauty and fashion.
01 - Chanel Coco Mademoiselle EDP Intense Refillable Purse Spray, SGD328
“I recently got my hands on this, and I’ve been taking it everywhere with me. I’m a total bag charm girl and the design had me sold instantly. The packaging with double chain strap makes it super versatile, almost like carrying a piece of jewellery. I wear it around my wrist or slip it in my bag for easy touch-ups on the go.
I once read that to make your perfume last longer and smell even better, you should apply it to pulse points, like the wrist, neck, behind your ears and inner elbows. These spots are warmer and help the fragrance diffuse beautifully. I’ve been doing this for years.” CHANEL
02 - Dior Beauty Eye Patches, SGD140 for 5 pairs
“One of my close friends introduced this to me when we had a staycation, and these eye patches are now an absolute must-have in my routine. Besides its sleek and chic aesthetic that makes the whole experience feel extra special, the formula works wonders too.
It only takes 10 minutes to instantly refresh, hydrate and depuff tired eyes. It leaves my under-eye area looking smooth and radiant. I use these for a quick reset before a big event or for a self-care moment, as they feel like a mini spa treatment. I only use them occasionally since they are a little pricey, but honestly every use feels so worth it.” DIOR
03 - Guerlain Météorites Pearl Powder - 01 Pearly White, SGD112
“I’m all about that glorious dewy finish and am obsessed with this multitasking powder that’s like magic in a jar. It imparts such a gentle highlight and a diffused glow. It not only enhances makeup but also corrects the complexion, mattifies and smooths out the texture of skin.
The pearls in the product are tiny, spherical beads of powder designed to both deliver colour and impart a luminous finish. I like to apply it with the Météorites Brush for effortless blending and a gorgeous, soft glow. I don’t just stop at the face, I use this on my collarbones too.” GUERLAIN
04 - Jo Malone London Enrich Body Balm, SGD160 for 200 ML
“I’m always on the lookout for the perfect body lotion, one that is deeply moisturising and offers a sensorial experience that helps me unwind and sleep better. Lately, I’ve been loving this body balm that provides more than just hydration. It also has a calming and soothing fragrance that instantly puts me in the right mood for a restful sleep.
I like to apply this rich and velvety balm after a shower on damp skin to lock in moisture. The texture is rich and velvety, and absorbs beautifully without feeling heavy on skin. It’s my go-to for winding down at night, my little moment of indulgence before bed.” JO MALONE LONDON
05 - Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate Serum, SGD138 for 30 ML
“My Mum is my biggest inspiration when it comes to beauty and skincare. I’ve always followed her lead and used the brands she swears by. Shiseido has always been one of her favourite brands, and when she introduced me to the Ultimune serum, I was instantly hooked.
From the first time I tried it, I noticed a real difference in how my skin felt. Like a little shield that boosts my skin’s ability to repair itself, the serum also helps with texture, making my skin smoother and giving me that healthy glow.
The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly, so I don’t have to wait forever for it to sink in before applying my next product. I use it every morning and night to give my skin that extra layer of protection, especially against daily stressors, whether it’s pollution or just life in general. Remember to treat your neck and decolletage as you would your face. These areas show signs of ageing too and deserve the same level of care.” SHISEIDO
