Being #FOMO – Fear Of Missing Out, has become a way of life and how we often connect with our friends. Being in the know of what is trending is a certain formula for success to impress your peers.
So what exactly are people in Singapore surfing for in beauty and fashion? I myself was curious, so did a little check on SimilarWeb to see what people are reading in the area of “Beauty & Cosmetics”.
1. Sephora – https://www.sephora.sg/
Sephora is a visionary beauty-retail concept founded in France by Dominique Mandonnaud in 1970. Sephora’s unique, open-sell environment features an ever-increasing amount of classic and emerging brands across a broad range of product categories including skincare, makeup, fragrance, body and hair care, in addition to Sephora’s own private label. Sephora is highly regarded as a beauty trailblazer, thanks to its unparalleled assortment of prestige products, unbiased service from experts, interactive shopping environment, disruptive spirit and constant innovation.
With the above, it is not surprising that Sephora is not only the top of the searched list, but also spots long queues at their retail locations.
2. Love Bonito – https://www.lovebonito.com/sg/
Love, Bonito has become a household name over the years, proving that it’s not some obscure Singapore fashion brand. Founded by three friends – Rachel Lim, Viola Tan and Velda Tan (the latter two are sisters) – the brand started off as a blogshop called Bonito Chico in 2005.
They have since come a long way from teenagers hawking second-hand clothes online from their bedrooms. Their desire is to be a brand that’s got a woman covered in every season and stage of her life. Working hard to design all their pieces in-house, catering to every aspect of a woman’s life, for every size, shape and style. From how I see it, a one-stop-shop for every piece of clothing a lady would need. Just like how ULO Lifestyle is created to be a one-stop-shop for time-based lifestyle services merchants.

The renowned influencer and brand teamed up to launch a 16-piece capsule collection fully conceptualized and styled by Mongchin with the assistance of Lovet’s team.
