BEAUTY BUZZ

THE LATEST PRODUCTS & GLAMOUR GOSSIP

■ Lancôme’s Idôle fragrance was a trailblazer as not only was the smartphone-shaped bottle the thinnest ever made, it was also one of the first refillable mainstream perfumes.

Now, the brand is breaking new ground again with a new fragrance family – Neo-gourmand – for Idôle Nectar Eau de Parfum, from £52. Think notes of popcorn, cereal and caramel blended with a rose accord to give a sweet yet sophisticated scent. ■ Holland & Barrett’s colourful new skincare range, Pip & Pod, harnesses the skin benefits of superfoods such as avocado, Kakadu plum and kale, offering something for every skincare taste. Vegan and made using waste byproducts, the range is purse-friendly too, with nothing costing more than £12.

Is it normal to sniff your bronzer? Absolutely, if it’s NARS Laguna Bronzing Cream,

£32.50, which is scented with the brand’s divine French Polynesia Monoï de Tahiti Oil signature fragrance. Its creamy, smooth formula looks like warmed-up skin rather than make-up sitting on top. Originally a limited edition, it’s now part of the permanent collection in an extended range of five shades.

has hit its

“zero waste pledge”, meaning it now only produces packaging designed to be recyclable, containing recycled materials or that’s reusable. It’s proud of its reclosable aluminium tube now used for samples instead of sachets, a prime offender when it comes to single-use plastic.
