Proteins and amino acids help smooth the hair cuticle, eliminating frizz and sealing in softness.

Meanwhile, plant oils like olive, macadamia, argan, sunflower, and camellia penetrate the hair shaft, locking in moisture to strengthen and revive thirsty strands.

A few drops of this bloom-scented essence is all it takes to transform lifeless locks into lustrous-looking hair.

Unlike some anti-aging creams, this milky formula melts into delicate eye areas so you look fresh, not greasy.

With continued use, the brightening and firming effects create a wide-awake gaze.

Don’t let tired, puffy eyes age you before your time.

Clogged pores and dull complexions meet their match as the fresh green cleanser gets rid of blackheads and sebaceous filaments while clearing up skin bumps.

Powered by nature’s best like green tea extract and rice water + powder, this blend has been clinically tested to improve key skincare factors.

Simply massage it onto damp skin, let it work its magic for a minute, then rinse it off for a baby-soft skin canvas.

COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream

This retinol cream from COSRX blends high-efficiency ingredients to solve skin problems and delivers them safely to the skin.

Whether you’re a lady who can’t stop uncaking on makeup (it gets stuck in fine lines) or a gentleman wanting to smooth over sagging skin, loss of elasticity, noticeable pores, and dryness, this is your answer.

Pure retinol and vitamin E join forces with hyaluronic acid to tighten wrinkles and build back elasticity.

Just a dab of this eye cream before bedtime is all you need to firm and plump skin while you sleep.

No more invasive fillers needed for needle fearers.

Talk about staying power: KAJA’s Gloss Shot lip gloss delivers a 24-hour glossy pearl luster that lasts through whatever your day brings.

Its formula prevents that tight, sticky feeling you hate.

Jojoba Seed Oil, Squalane, and Rosa Canina Fruit Oil form a blend that deeply moisturizes and strengthens the delicate lip skin.

Lips stay soft and smooth for the long haul.

A makeup bag must-have for hydration lovers who crave that all-day glossy look.

Colorgram Tintin Dory Eyeshadow Palette

Colorgram Tintin Dory Eyeshadow Palette

The colorgram Tintin Dory Eyeshadow Palette is for anyone who dares to get playful with color.

Packed with four highly pigmented shades in vivid hues and multiple finishes, this compact palette is your ticket to eye-catching eye looks.

Take your pick between earthy neutrals, peachy tones, or cool pinks—or really let your wild side roam free with the all-glitter version.

Whatever you fancy, these long-wearing, no-creasing formulas keep your eyeshadow in place.

Plus, the sleek size slips easily into any bag, so you can amp up the drama whenever (and wherever) you want.

Colorgram’s bold shades command attention so the only limit is your imagination.

WAKEMAKE Sheer Layering Dual Blusher

WAKEMAKE Sheer Layering Dual Blusher

Blush is more than just a rosy flush; it’s an expression, a mood-making finishing touch.

That’s why this sheer layering dual blusher from WAKEMAKE is a true palette for the face.

Sweep on a sheer watercolor veil of color, or build up the intensity with layers for a bolder pop.

And thanks to the reflective powder blend, each layer catches light for a subtle radiance.

Whether you prefer a just-pinched glow or want to turn up the wattage, their five shades can take you there.

Use the free brush provided for flawless application.

4-Day Work Week? 69% of Singapore Employers Say It’s Feasible!

In April 2024, a poll by payroll and HR solutions provider ADP found that nearly a third of Singaporean workers expect the four-day work week to become standard within the next five years. Notably, 21% of workers reported that their employers have already implemented this model to promote better mental health at work.

As the year progressed, another survey by recruitment agency Robert Walters revealed that 69% of Singaporean employers now consider the four-day work week “a feasible concept.” Employee enthusiasm, however, was even greater as 93% of workers expressed interest in a trial of the shorter work week. Neighboring countries like Malaysia and Thailand echoed this sentiment, with 94% and 95% of workers in these nations, respectively.

The survey, which gathered insights from over 5,000 professionals across 11 Asian markets, placed Singapore in the middle regarding support for the four-day work week.

SOUTHEAST ASIA LEADS

Southeast Asia appears to be the most optimistic region about this shift in work culture. Compared to places like Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, and South Korea, professionals and businesses in this region are more open to experimenting with a shorter work week.

WORKPLACE CHANGES

While many HR experts agree that a four-day work week could improve work-life balance, boost employee happiness, and even enhance productivity, they caution that Singapore may not embrace this change immediately.

Aslam Sardar, CEO of the Institute for Human Resource Professionals, noted that Singaporean employers’ hesitancy could stem from the country’s highly competitive business environment. Concerns about operational impact, especially in specific industries, and the complexities of implementing such a shift are key reasons for their caution. Significant organizational changes, cultural adjustments, and technological advancements like automation and job redesign will be critical to making this model work, according to Sardar.

FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION

Despite the hurdles, many Singaporeans are eager to give the four-day work week a try. They view it as a way to improve work-life balance and spend more time with their families. In fact, 96% of professionals surveyed said they would be more inclined to apply for jobs at companies offering this flexible arrangement.

However, when it comes to making compromises, most workers are unwilling to trade reduced salaries or bonuses in exchange for shorter hours, signaling that while the demand for change is high, financial security remains a top priority.

While the four-day work week is gaining traction, it may take time before it becomes the norm in Singapore, as businesses and workers balance the potential benefits with the challenges of implementation.
