Laline officially opens in Singapore

Hi Huneybees,

Remember during the Fashion Steps Out, I introduced a Fashion Pop-Out Bazaar outside Mandarin Gallery, mentioning that there would be a new line of bath & body care called Laline? YES! They have officially opened at Marina Square!

Laline, a successful international boutique store, specializes in aromatic bath & body care products for body and soul.

Laline's beauty line was created by two Israeli cousins who had a solid friendship and made their dream come true with the opening of their first store in 1999. The strong family connection and the feminine bond are uniquely reflected in the warm and welcoming customer experience offered in more than 60 Laline boutiques worldwide.

Laline's products are a balanced work of art consisting of blending only the finest ingredients of nature together with innovative research and science. Committed to quality, Laline uses essential oils and scents sourced in the Provence region of France and mineral salts from the Dead Sea, and marries them together until they reach perfect aroma and texture. Laline prides itself on being a cruelty-free company.

With special collections for men, babies, girls and women of all ages, the Laline line of products appeals to all family members. Laline offers a significant variety of original scents that were created especially for the company and a wide selection of products that include soaps and candles, lotions and fragrances, accessories and loungewear- all beautifully packaged in vintage chic recyclable containers.

Laline's retail environment offers an escape from the noise and stresses of the day, a sanctuary of pampering moments out of the busy life. The all-white shabby-chic boutique design exudes a pure clean atmosphere that goes hand-in-hand with the Laline promise to nourish the body and soul.

Stepping into the white themed store makes one feels all heavenly and relaxed, you can simply throw away all the stress and indulge yourself trying out the lotions, bath products etc. At the end of the day, after a hard day's of work, a good relaxing bath is all you need and Laline products are all you need to help you...

Such a cute store, even the girls are so adorably dressed with the store's signature prints.

Womanizer for the mens line. What a way to name... :)

Such sweet lipglosses!

This adorable fluffly brush dispenses glitter the moment you brush on your body! PARTY!

The store carries products like shower gels, bath lotions, body scrubs, organic products, mens shaving cream and body care as well as the super sweet pink line for the little princesses. I almost wanted to buy the whole store home!

Body Cream and Sanitisers.

There are also gift sets you can purchase to get the items at special deals.

The different types of body scrubs. Just the colours already make me feel so SWEEEET.

You can try the scrubs, shower gels as there is a tap to wash off.

You can choose to buy these lovely gift boxes, to fill your favourite Laline products and give it as a gift.

These bath bombs are for one time use, but they spell heavenly, I couldn't resist getting a couple. I know I will be spending lots of time in bath tub with hubby. Hehehe....

There's also bathroom accessories for you. It's simply a Bathroom 101 here.

Keep you bathroom organized.

The tassel is for you to apply the fragrance on and then hang around any of your room, to get the nice sweet smell going. Stepping home to this wonderful fragrance already helps you kill all the stress.
