English Version | Beauty Shopping: Hidden in plain sight

In these vials and powders, secrets hide in plain sight. Fragrances with the weight of the earth’s core, elixirs that tempt you with the promise of time’s undoing, textures that seem to slip through your grasp. But these aren’t just products—they’re clues, fragments of a puzzle that beckon you deeper into the unknown. Each application draws you closer, but to what? In this collection, beauty dares you to uncover its secrets—if you’re brave enough to face what you might find.

The Phantom

This is a ghost that comes to haunt, but more than love and passion, offers a translucent veil that heeds and concedes for a finish as smooth as the tunes he sings to you at night. Render yourself to him, and you will enjoy a finish that is soft to touch and smooth to view. 

Fountain of Immortality

They say everything in life has a solution except death, and that death itself is a solution. Challenge time himself, put a pause to his plans, and sweet talk him into going back where he came from. After all, only rivers can't return on their own path. You decide your route and these are the keys to unlock time and beauty. 

Hydrophobic

Being at the mercy of the elements is not something you will be anymore. Challenge mother nature, challenge Typhon and face the winds and storms with a shield that repels water and seals your form into one untouchable by the elements themselves.

Uncut Gems

Flint, Salt, Stone. Graphite, Concrete and Metal itself. Earth's gems, uncut, raw, pure, captured by the alchemist within veils of scent that bestow the wearer properties of mother earth herself. From fresh, to sweet, metallic, and even ozonic — harness the most steady of the elements in its sharpest form. 

Velvet Face

Find within these veils a new skin for all the identities that do not belong to thee. Smooth, satin, velvety. Hide from the world one’s true self, in a skin that is as real as one’s own, yet as perfect as the one from the Valley of the Dolls.
