F inding items for your children in travel retail that are not soft toys or confectionery can be tricky, which is why TOOT! was invented. Speaking at the show this year, TOOT! Founder Karljn Vlasblom said: “We are a relatively new brand and only two-and-a-half years-old now. I started the brand when my daughter was seven and she was asking for make-up. I’m from the beauty industry and looking at the products I didn’t want to give those to her, but I still wanted to allow her to experiment and try, so I looked for something that was natural and good for her delicate skin on the one hand, but still fun and joyful and I couldn’t find that combination, so that is how the brand was born.” Vlasblom added: “TOOT! is all about Joyful cosmetics Victoria’s Secret expands in Asia enabling kids and teens to express themselves worry-free and for parents to give them a nice gift. The products are all natural, vegan, cruelty-free and have no microplastics or talc in them, so it is like regular natural make-up, but with all the nasties taken out.” Level 1/1-P12 E viDenS de Beauté Global Sales External Consultant Kenji Calméjane said: “EviDens is an anti-aging luxury skincare brand. It is based on a love story between a French man and a Japanese woman and the Japanese woman had very sensitive skin and she couldn’t find anything that suited her skin. So, he created these products for her and she shared it with the world. The most popular product is the special mask and one sells every minute across the whole world.” Level 1/1-M7 A beautiful love story V ictoria’s Secret is branching out into Singapore’s GTR scene and placing an emphasis on the fashion lingerie space.

The focus this year is to find out how we can be beauty-dominant and consider how to expand our growth in the fashion lingerie space.” Frengou also revealed: “We are opening our first VSBL, or ‘Victoria’s Secret Beauty and Lingerie’ store in Changi Terminal 1, which will open in the fall.
