Beauty & accessories
Little Fairies is a growing beauty brand offering a selection of balms and solid perfumes. Its versatile lip balms do triple duty as cuticle oil and a general facial moisturizer. They come in unique flavors and incorporate ingredients sourced all over the world, including root beer from the US and green melon from Hokkaido. The brand’s cheekily named Monkey Business lip balm (NT$280) uses the fragrance of Taiwanese banana as a base. The Merry Xmas solid perfume combines notes of Peruvian basalm, fir and frankincense and fir for a whiff of festive holiday spirit. Little Fairies’ products can be found in Good Cho’s — a charming cafe and design shop housed in a ramshackle veterans’ housing complex. Products can also be found on Pinkoi, an e-retailer that offers independent Taiwanese designers a platform to sell their work.
