MAMA KNOWS BEST
It’s 2020 and there’s nothing wrong with raiding the women’s side of things, especially when it comes with your mother’s stamp of approval. With updated innovations to its heralded heritage, these products are a definite must-consider to your grooming routine
ESTEE LAUDER
One of the quickest ways to betray one’s age is through the often tired and behest with lines area around the eyes. Before you relent to the inevitable, it is best you reignite the energy of your skin by supercharging it with a treatment that will eventually bring the youthful light of your eyes. With 10x more of its Concentrated Repair Technology, Estee Lauder resuscitates skin with the Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex, a lightweight cushioning gel cream that addresses fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, dryness, and uneven skin tone, revealing skin that soft and silky to the touch.
GUERLAIN
Harnessing the exceptional repairing power of bee products, Guerlain’s Abeille Royale Dark Spot definitely hits the mark when it comes to skincare diligence. Creating a premium and expert serum, the dark spot corrector and pore minimizer effectively refines skin’s texture, tightens pores, and evens complexion over due time. With a swirl of naturally-sourced Glabridin, Ouessant honey, clover honey, and Sologne Royal Jelly, this formulation controls pigmentation, eventually restoring skin’s radiance. Housed in a honeycomb-shaped bottle, there exists an ample amount of hyper fine powders that evoke a surface healing effect, absorbing excess oil to create a soft, velvety finish.
NARS
Provocative, evocative, and daring, Nars introduces its very first signature scent, aptly christened Audacious Fragrance. A creative collaboration with Olivia Giacobetti, this foray into the perfume segment is a realization of abstracted contrasts. Light and dark with its intrusions of heady musk, as well as sensual and liberated with wispy smokes of incense, the scent is an ode to liberated expression, boasting of a bold coming together of White Frangipani, Tiare flower, Sandalwood with unexpected hints of Ylang Ylang and White Cedar Essential Oil. Minimal and modern, the unique embodiment of audacity is a worthy extension of François Nars’ unequivocal vision.
LAURA MERCIER
More than just prepping the skin for what can be an eventual application of cosmetics to your grooming routine (it’s 2020, you can if you want to, at least to even things out), primers have more function to lay over the canvas that is your skin. Packed with skin-loving ingredients, Laura Mercier introduces its new Pure Canvas Primers, which intend to protect skin as well as create a flawless, matte surface to start building on. The Power Primer Supercharged Essence for example, contain a unique milky essence, skin-boosting peptides and an ultra-soothing complex that help deliver smoother, firmer, and younger looking skin.
DIOR
With the freshness of a gel and the formidable strength of a serum, the Dior Hydra Life Essence in Gel is a hardworking product if there ever was one. A seemingly ironic but unique combination of richness and lightness, the watery and dense skincare product provides hydration that melts into the heart of the epidermis, diffusing into active ingredients that moisturizes and refreshes. Providing enduring comfort, the ultra-nourishing innovation provides silky and glowing skin with regular and religious use.
LA MER
Constant and consistent with its pursuit of perfecting skincare, La Mer has continued to transcend age and generations. An evolution discovered from crystals forming in a beaker of their famed Miracle Broth, this brilliant blend dramatically reduces lines, imperfections, and other pertinent signs of aging. Potent in formulation, the Genaissance de la Mer The Serum Essence infuses the skin with life-generating energies of the sea, which eventually leaves skin rejuvenated, resilient, and refined. To apply, it is best used twice daily after a treatment lotion, with just four drops to glide over the face and neck.
