It will also offer “a competitive array of exclusive beauty and personal care brands”, as well as other beauty and personal care brands such asRevolution and MUA, and “trending brands” including Bourjois and 3INA. 

There will be a dedicated fragrance counter, “boasting exciting and purse-friendly promotions on perfume and aftershave” by premium brands such as YSL, Viktor & Rolf, Giorgio Armani, Prada and Valentino.

As mentioned, the Beauty Studio area is a key development where customers can access “professional treatments at affordable prices” such as “eyebrow and lashes, piercing and nail services”.
