Pamper yourself with the best new launches for your face, body and hair

BLURRED LINES

HERA’S new Airy Blur Priming Powder is a powder-style primer that applies seamlessly on skin, blurring pores and imperfections. The dough-like formula is created from a blend of oil and coccoid powder put through a suction coating technology to remove oils from the cream. The result is a primer that absorbs excess sebum while acting as a glue for long-wearing make-up.

THINK PINK

For Autumn/winter 2020, Hermès presents its second Rouge Hermès Limited Edition collection made up of three new lipstick shades. These are in a variation of pink as an homage to the roses of French artist Yves Klein. The Rose Nuit glides on smoothly with a velvety pink and matte finish. The muted Rose Ombré and the vibrant Rose Pomette are satin lipsticks which leave lips smooth and supple.

LONG RANGE

Hourglass introduces its Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara that offers dramatic definition and length. Film-forming technology coats lashes in lightweight fibres that offer a fan-out finish and smudge-proof wear. Warm water is all it takes to wash it all off.

STANDING OUT

Byredo launches its new cosmetic line that breaks the mould of luxury make-up with unique individual designs that resemble futuristic totems. The collaboration with make-up artist Isamaya Ffrench is currently made up of eye make-up products, lipsticks and versatile colour sticks.

GOLDEN AGE

Charlotte Tilbury’s new refillable Airbrush Bronzer contains hyaluronic acid to smooth and hydrate, softfocusing silica to reflect light on skin and micro-fine perfecting powder that gives make-up a silky finish. Brush it on with the retractable kabuki airbrush for a bronzed goddess look.

NIGHT CRUSADER

Bring dry and dehydrated skin back to life with Aesop’s Sublime Replenishing Night Masque. Like a sheet mask in a jar, the gel-cream formula quickly

sinks into skin leaving a soft, matte finish. A line-up

of concentrated skin supportive vitamins B, C, E and F hydrates, soothes and

treats uneven skin tones.

NOCTURNAL AID

Chanel’s new Le Lift Crème de Nuit envelopes overworked skin in a rich and restorative formula that accelerates cell renewal at night. Botanical alfalfa extract acts like retinol to help with collagen production while a Neuractive Night complex, made up of silver needle tea and Epidermist, increases hyaluronic acid in skin. Slather on before

bedtime to wake up to smooth skin.

PLANT POWER

Acqua Reviscentalis is Armani Beauty’s new treatment lotion that restores skin’s beauty and vitality. Watery and lightweight, the formula combines the exclusive Reviscentalis ingredient that regenerates skin with a high concentration of glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation. Apply on freshly cleansed skin to refine and clarify your complexion.

INNER GLOW

Dior’s Capture Totale Super Potent Serum uses an extract of the longoza flower for rigorous revitalisation of skin’s mother cells. Acetylated hyaluronic acid maximises this effect while plumping skin. Suitable for most skin types, it contains a floral complex of white lily, Chinese peony and Chinese jasmine to re-energise complexions.

BALANCE IS KEY

The Lancome Advanced Génifique targets signs of ageing by balancing the skin microbiome. A powerful complex of seven pre-and probiotic fractions regulates cell renewal, strengthens barrier functions and boosts hydration. With consistent use, you’ll notice a visibly radiant complexion with improved firmness and reduced fine lines.

CELL CARE

Augustinus Bader’s The Body Cream is a rich and buttery formula that minimises the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks and pigmentation. The brand’s Trigger Factor Complex 8 supports the body’s innate renewal process by reviving dormant cells to produce collagen and repairing sensitivity to environmental stressors. Fragrance-free, it contains shea butter for nourishment and bisabolol to calm and hydrate stressed skin.

SUNDOWN SCENT

Jonathan Anderson shares the same

pain of being locked down and locked in. In “an aide-mémoire of better times to come”, the Loewe

creative director partners with legendary boutique Paula’s Ibiza

to bring back fond teenage memories spent on the Balearic island at the height of summer. Coconut water is layered with bright green galbanum and mandarin oils,

driftwood, sand lily and frangipani flowers in a nod to Ibiza’s Bohemian vibe. Even the candy-coloured

gradient bottle of Loewe Paula’s Ibiza is reminiscent of

summer sunsets.

MEDITERRANEAN SUMMER

LA Doublej and Acqua di Parma collaborate for a summer kit that captures the essence of the Italian

Mediterranean. The Blu Mediterraneo body scrub contains soft cane sugar

granules, jojoba seeds and orange peel to leave skin renewed and smooth.

It’s lightly scented with the zesty Arancia Di Capri fragrance that will have you dreaming of sailing across a deep blue sea.

SULTRY SANTAL

India’s royal and spiritual splendour meet in Creed’s Original Santal. The romance and opulence of India has captured the attention of Oliver Creed, who then took its signature Mysore Sandalwood as the core of his fragrance. The majestic allure comes from the powerful aromas of orange tree, ginger, lemon, rosemary, peppermint, pinkberries, cedar and vanilla. Warm and robust with just a hint of spice, it leaves you wanting to discover more.

SMARTER SHOWER

Ruhens launches showerheads with vitamin C filters that remove 99.9 per cent of chlorine and harmful particles. Infusing the essential vitamin into the shower stream neutralises the chlorine and prevents skin from drying out in the shower. The showerheads also come in three scents of lavender, lime and rose for restorative aromatherapy.

HEAD’S UP

According to Ryo, a Korean medicinal haircare brand, the scalp is the key to healthy hair. All of its products target the roots first. Its Hair Loss range contains ginseng saponins to boost the growth of hair follicle cells while its Damage Care line has 100 per cent fermented Jeju camellia oil for intense

nourishment. Oily scalps will benefit from the Deep Cleansing range that uses pine needles and fermented mint to

control excess sebum.

PERFECT REMEDY

The Restructuring Nourishing Balm from Hair Rituel by Sisley is an intensely nourishing formula for damaged and dry hair. A cocktail of shea, macadamia, babassu, moringa and meadowfoam seed oils smooth strands while a ceramide-like ingredient restructures hair. Leave it on for 30 minutes before a hair wash or use overnight for best results.

GET TO THE ROOT

Shiseido’s new Sublimic Adenovital range tackles hair loss and thinning hair at the root. It targets the deepest layers of the scalp to optimise hair growth signals. Its star product is the Scalp Power-shot that contains the active ingredient of adenosine to thicken the hair shaft. Joined by sophora angustifolia root extract, carrot extract and nicotinamide, they penetrate deep into the follicles and strengthen root resilience.

CAFFEINE FIX

Beigic’s cruelty-free haircare uses only clean ingredients that are free from synthetic dyes and fragrances, silicones, harsh sulphates and parabens. The brand signature of green coffee bean oil contains vitamin E to add gloss to hair, natural caffeine to boost blood circulation and nourishing amino acids. Its Scalp & Hair Spa Care Duo, made up of the Scalp Revival Purifying Scrub and Damage Repair Treatment Mask, deep cleanses while adding volume and shine.

HAIR REGENERATION

Pure human keratin is the secret to Virtue’s transformative haircare products. Its core ingredient of Alpha Keratin 60ku, extracted from ethically sourced human hair, is deposited into strands and heals cracks of damage. Hair transforms and becomes softer, stronger and healthier. Virtue’s range includes shampoos, conditioners, styling creams and scalp treatments.
