The One That Lives on Your Desk
A rainy October day in New York.
I needed a Californian ocean breeze — and found it in a bottle-green box with wavy white letters.
The Botanic Chemist
I have never been a foundation fan. Holitint got my attention.
Two bottles in a box
How did my boyfriend find Dilli House? A two-layered fragrance you can wear single in summer and double in winter.
Pastel Lemon in a Chocolate Jar
It feels like going on a date with someone you really like. My second pot of the Ginger Turmeric paste from True Botanicals has arrived.
Le Rub
A fiery red tube from two Antwerp siblings — rooted in Belgium, made in Italy, sold across the world.
HYEJA
A leather Corbusier sofa and a huge LED light machine.
Jog blush
The sun came out for the first time in February. I walked into Blos, Hasselt, looking for a sunscreen — and left with the first brick of a new season.
Antwerp Amber
A dark brown glass, a balm the shade of rich amber. Maiwe is an Antwerp-based beauty brand built on one ingredient — rosehip.
