They say you are what you eat and make-up artist Bobbi Brown has got right behind that philosophy by creating a foundation that's basically superfood for your skin. Ever heard of the cordycep mushroom? Nope, us neither, but apparently this sought after little fungus can do dreamy things like repairing and re-energising our skin cells. It also includes lychee (to hydrate) and bamboo grass extract (to enhances radiance) plus a high SPF to top it off. Just call us a #superfoodie. Intensive Skin Serum Foundation SPF40 Dhs325 Bobbi Brown We've all been there, booked a manicure but ended up with a eyebrow threading appointment. Confusion begone with new beauty app and online service, Vaniday, which allows us to get organised with our pampering by booking into our favourite salons while also making beauty savings. Vaniday.ae
