You read it correctly: R+B Beauty launched its Coffee Collection, all of which include recycled coffee grinds as a key component. When we say that the feel of each product in our hands was just to die for, we’re not kidding! They were delicate, silky, and smooth, and left no sticky residue. They’re also produced from all-natural ingredients, which are known to be beneficial to our skin. This collection alone could be a game-changer in the skincare scene.

What’s not to love about jewelry? They’re unique, affordable and they make you look extra good in whatever outfit you don. But you know what makes it extra special? It’s when a piece of jewelry is customized to boost your self-confidence and promote self-love. Speaking of jewelry, we recently got invited to the launch of ZCOVA’s newest edition, the affirmation jewelries.
The launch was held at The Tap Room, which was definitely a great location for the event. We loved the idea of ZCOVA introducing affirmation jewelleries as there aren’t many jellery outlet that emphasize on it. Beside merely focusing on the jewelry items, we also had a good session of self-love and self-reflection through a simple workshop.

The best part of the segment is when we got to witness the engraving process on the pendant. We think it was super cool as we literally saw the machine engraved its way onto the tiny piece of pendant. Bonus: we got to bring home a personalized charm necklace.
