FAE Beauty, a makeup brand standing for Free and Equal Beauty, launched a GLAWS Gloss. The gloss is enriched with passionfruit oil and vitamin E and comes with a rollerball applicator.

Misho, the handcrafted jewellery brand by Suhani Parekh releases a collection specially for men. While the label has always had one-off men’s pieces, the new Misho Man edit is exclusively for men. Of course, that doesn’t mean women can’t steal the minimal sterling silver and bronze jewellery, adorned with stones like lapis lazuli and pearls. The collection includes Tahitian pearl necklaces, Lapis & Black Onyx bracelets, and Dog Tag pendants.
