Your ultimate roundup
It’s March which means it’s time spring clean your beauty cupboard and fill it up with the latest launches from the worlds of skincare, makeup and fragrance.
Eyes on you
When Sisley first launched it’s Black Rose Cream Mask in 2011, it rose to cult beauty status in record time. The line was then further enriched with the addition of Black Rose Precious Face Oil and Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream. The Black Rose Eye Contour, which is being launched this month, we’re sure will be no different. A delicate, pink-hued emulsion, it will infuse the area around your eyes with radiance, freshness and smoothness. You will certainly notice and get noticed.
Hear it
Au natural doesn’t have to mean low key. This spring is all about a perspective shift on neutral. On runways and beyond, sheer textures and nude shades are transformed through sharp execution and extreme saturation, taking them into territories favoured by the bold. The Loud and Clear range from Mac includes eight single eye shadows in sunbaked browns, creamy camels and apricots; five lipgloss shades in the sheerest of nudes to the deepest aubergine; five universally flattering lipsticks and two limited-edition Extra Dimension Skinfish compacts in shimmery pewter and burnished bronze. Whether you’re wearing the shades on their own, mixing and matching, applying them with one sheer swipe or building them to create more emphatically eye-catching looks, this collection delivers lightweight textures, deep pigment payoff and limitless potential for play. It’s a modern take on a timeless idea. Go be yourself.
Diamond rush
Following from the launch of Pink Diamond range, Rodial has added two innovative and high-performance products to the range – The Pink Diamond Lip and Eye Filler Dhs297 and the Pink Diamond Lifting Oil Dhs495. Enhanced with loads of anti-aging and lifting benefits to give your skin the ultimate pick-me-up and a healthy, radiant glow. Available at Harvey Nichols – Dubai, Bloomingdales and online at beautysolutions-me.com.
Level up your skincare
Beauty enthusiasts rejoice, Ole Henriksen, the renowned Danish skincare brand is coming to Dubai. Since 1975, these simple, joyful yet powerful products have been improving complexions around the world. We all deserve the skin we love, and the Ole, Truth, Transform, Transform Plus and Balance collections empower you to find what’s best for your skin and to make your ‘me-time’ full of warmth, comfort and wellbeing. Available exclusively at Sephora, Sephora.ae and Sephora.sa.
Wild about honey
Let your eyes have all the pampering they need. They are the windows to our soul, after all. The eye area is also the first to be affected by wrinkles, crow’s feet and frown lines. Abeille Royale Crème Yeux Eye Cream from Guerlain, is packed with royal honey and ensures no wrinkles escape from its power. The result: Skin around your eyes is intensely smoothed, plumped and redensified, while dark circles and under-eye bags are softened to leave eyes looking at least three years younger.
Sleeping beauty
Overnight is the perfect time to rehydrate your skin. Ideal for nurturing skin as you sleep, is the vitamin-rich gel-cream Sublime Replenishing Night Masque from Aesop. Apply a thick layer at bedtime, and allow it to absorb. Botanical ingredients help skin to replenish and leaves it feeling soft, supple and extremely nourished when you wake up. Dhs440.
Skin savvy
Givenchy Laboratories created Blanc Divin, a skincare line that works simultaneously on the skin to diminish brown spots, reducing dull complexions and aiding the skin’s elasticity. Now, the Blanc Divin line welcomes two new products to keep your skin velvety soft and your complexion flawless all day long: Brightening Fresh Moisture Mask Dhs330 – to moisturise and revitalise your skin, and Brightening Mattifying Loose Powder Dhs300 – for that flawless, radiant and luminous finish.
Forever Skin
“With its stretch texture, superb shades and weightless sensation that doesn’t compromise on its long-lasting coverage, Dior Forever Skin Correct is the new-generation concealer from Dior you will want to use right away. Everything about this product is more generous: the range of shades, the bottle, the applicator, and the many different ways you can use it,” says Dior Beauty’s make up guru, Peter Philips. Flawless skin is finally ours. Dhs176.
Dynamic duo
An unprecedented collaboration between two master perfumers – Bvlgari Le Gemme Erea (signed by Alberto Morillas) and Bvlgari le Gemme Kobraa (signed by Jacques Cavallier) – to translate the bold beauty of Green Agate and Snake Jasper into magnificient new fragrances. Linked by their green iridescent colour, these are extra-special and a must for every fashionista’s beauty cupboard. Dhs1,100 each.
Hydrate on the go
As the summer season approaches, remember that travel is not always kind to your skin. La Mer’s Crème de la Crème Arrive Hydrated travel kit nourishes skin with the brand’s signature, supercharged seaweed broth, leaving you with glowing skin.
