If you are still searching for the ultimate SPF, this protective, restoring, and hydrating creamy sunscreen was formulated with sensitive, dry, and irritated skin in mind. It has not been far from reach these past few weeks thanks to its very high broad-spectrum UVB-UBA protection, which prevents those dreaded brown spots; ceramide 3 gives dry skin a moisture boost; and vitamin B5 to support the skin's delicate barrier. Of course, this SPF is in a base of Avène’s calming thermal spring water. Did we mention how luxurious it is to use and how well it plays under foundation? If you love your skin, this is a solid investment.
We love this brand, and when the latest lip oil, named Sticky Toffee, landed, we couldn't resist. Created by Dutch influencer and beekeeper Negin Mirsalehi, the range is packed with her sustainably sourced Mirsalehi honey, grown in the Netherlands and rich in omega-3, 6, and 9. That honey is whipped with hyaluronic acid, blueberry seed, and Jojoba oils to boost moisture and firmness. There are 13 shades of this lip gloss. This new colour is a milky, warm toffee colour, and it tastes as good as it looks.
Summer’s humidity needs an effective dry shampoo - and here it is. This benzene-free formula revives your hair and scalp without leaving white residue, thanks to a natural blend of pineapple extract, rich starch, and aloe vera. It’s colour-safe and suitable for anyone with chemically relaxed hair or wearing hair extensions. It leaves the hair scented with tropical pineapple.
To use: Section the hair as you spray, around 30cm away, directly at the roots, then brush or massage with your fingertips to distribute evenly. It’s genius.
There is nothing better in summer than refreshing the skin with a body mist rather than a fragrance. The latest designer scent is a blend of chilled coconut and juicy pineapple that leaves a linen-fresh, crisp scented trail, while delivering long-lasting hydration. The best news is that it’s very affordable. There are four fragrances for your body and hair: Sheer Peach, Nude Vanilla, Cotton Musk, and our choice, Silky Coconut, pictured here.
New shade alert: From the makers of affordable, effective beauty, this creamy, easy-to-blend colour stick is now available in eight shades (pictured here). Our new pick of the new shades is Candy. It melts seamlessly into the skin, creating a fresh, flushed look. The buttery formula is best applied with your fingers, then buffed with a brush. While this cheek colour looks bright, it is buildable yet sheer.
Searching for a rich face cream? This plant-based formula addresses dry skin with shea butter, ceramides, and plant peptides. But more than that, it’s stacked with skin-strengthening niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica leaf extract, aloe cera, citrus oils, and spearmint. Expect that combination of ingredients to hydrate and firm the skin deeply. Suitable for day or night, it’s an excellent solution for restoring a complexion that has been hammered by the sun.
Less about perfection, and more about feeling good.
