BABY-G POKEMON WATCH COLLABORATION DROPS

Fanatics will want to catch this rare Pokemon. Casio Baby-G has collaborated with The Pokemon Company to release a second limitededition watch. The first collaboration model was released in 2019 in celebration of Baby-G's 25th anniversary.

The new limited-edition model (BA-110PKC), priced at $239, is an analogue-digital piece with a pink camo-print strap (inspired by the great outdoors where presumably Pokemon roam) and a motif of Pikachu with a heart-shaped tail.

The hour and minute hands form Pikachu's ears and the watch face features a tag marked #25 - symbolising Baby-G's 25th anniversary as well as Pikachu's number in the Pokedex (the encyclopaedia device that records the data of all Pokemon).

For a playful finishing touch, the watch comes housed inside a Poke Ball.

Info: Available at G-Shock stores from today and at g-shock.sg from next Friday

KIEHL'S REVAMPS ULTRA FACIAL OIL-FREE GEL CREAM

First launched in 2013, the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream ($54 for 50ml) from Kiehl's now comes with a new and improved formula for oily and combination skin.

It was reformulated to address growing demand from customers with oilier skin types who want hydrating creams without the greasy look.

The new formula is free of alcohol and contains newly added micronized amino acid to help reduce excessive oil production.

Retaining its cooling gel texture, the cream is also touted to reduce visible facial shine and appearance of pores over time.
