“Lipstick is the most valuable weapon in a woman’s make-up kit. It has the power to transform the appearance and mood of the person wearing it, and, at the same time, arouses the admiration of everybody else.” This beautiful quote by Italian model and actress Monica Bellucci reflects the power of lipstick, which is the most universal beauty product of all times on all five continents.
PHYTO-ROUGE VELVET BY SISLEY PARIS
Launched in 2018 in 20 shades with a revamped case and formula, Le Phyto-Rouge Lipstick is probably the most successful make-up product created by Sisley Paris. This Spring, Sisley presents Le Phyto-Rouge Velvet, a deep matte shade with a soft velvety finish. The soft finish is smooth and sleek and blurs fine lines and imperfections. With a single coat, lips feel nourished and are gently coloured.
Phyto-Rouge Velvet is available in 12 bold, vibrant colours, designed to match your mood and your skin tone. Coverage can be easily customised from medium to high by applying the layers you want.
The elegant black and gold brushed zebra pattern case has a brushed matte finish, similar to the effect of the lipstick. It fastens with a jewelled, S-shaped clasp.
Review of Le Phyto-Rouge Velvet: I tested 41 Rouge Flame, one of the most beautiful vibrant reds I’ve seen in the past few years. The creamy texture glides evenly over the lips, but I recommend to use a lip pencil to correct the symmetry of the lips and to achieve a perfect contoured lip line. For the best result, I also recommend to exfoliate the lips with a peeling or a toothbrush before applying the lip colour.
The lips feel supple and even appear plumped. The bold colour 41 Rouge Flame with a beautiful velvety finish also creates an amazing contrast with my fair skin and my long dark brown hair. It delivers an instant boost of radiance to my face.
PLUMPING LIP SERUM BY NUXE
If high-shine gloss and a long-lasting hydration is your mission, then Nuxe has the perfect product for you: The Very Rose Plumping Lip Serum, formulated with 98% ingredients of natural origin and enriched with natural hyaluronic acid, plumps and hydrates lips, enhancing them with a transparent glossy finish. I love the delicious vanilla-scented fragrance and the pink rose blossom that adorns the lipgloss cap.
VERY ROSE CLEANSING GEL AND FACE SCRUB
The Very Rose Light Cleansing Foam, which was launched a few years ago, is one of my favourite cleansing foams. Therefore, I was happy to see that Nuxe has added two new products to the Very Rose Collection. Infused with rose extract, the gentle Very Rose Soothing Cleansing Gel cleanses and soothes the skin and eliminates impurities. Its delicate rose fragrance and fresh gel texture envelop the skin in a sensation of well-being. Formulated for all skin types, it leaves the skin soft and soothed.
Enriched with rose extract and apricot kernel powder, the Very Rose Radiance Face Scrub provides gentle exfoliation, removing impurities without leaving any feeling of dryness or tightness. Developed for all skin types, even sensitive, the creamy scrub, which looks like strawberry ice cream, can be used once or twice a week, preferably in the evening, on clean, damp skin. Gently massage in circular motions, focusing on the T-zone.
TWO HAIRCARE CREAMS FOR CURLY OR WAVY HAIR
Two out of three women worldwide have wavy, curly, tightly curled or coily hair. But not all curly hair types have the same needs – they can have very different styling and product requirements. Sisley Laboratories have developed two separate formulas: a fluid, melting cream-in-gel for wavy hair and an enveloping cream for curly to tightly curled hair.
Curl Care Jelly and Curl Care Cream reveal the natural beauty of textured hair by providing it with nutrition, definition and long-lasting hold in a single step. Hair Rituel expert Jillian Halouska shows how to use the two new hairstyling products in a video.
NUXURIANCE ULTRA EXCEPTIONAL CREAM DAY & NIGHT
The Nuxuriance Ultra Exceptional Cream Day & Night combines two products in one to create an effective anti-aging innovation. During the day, the cream corrects, protects and smooths the skin and boosts its radiance. At night, it repairs, hydrates and renews the skin.
The star ingredient of the formula is niacinamide, also called Vitamin B3, a molecule that is naturally present in the body. It is known, in particular, for its multiple benefits on the skin: it moisturizes and strengthens the skin barrier, acts on firmness and helps to boost radiance. This molecule’s anti-dark spot and anti-wrinkle properties make it ideal to provide anti-aging effectiveness, improve skin quality and restore an even complexion.
SELF-TANNING SERUM
Opt for a tanned complexion all year round with the Self-Tanning Serum by Nuxe. Infused with hyaluronic acid, its innovative formula provides skin with long-lasting hydration and plumping. Composed of 100% naturally-derived DHA, the serum gives skin a natural, even and gradual tan. Its light texture is easily absorbed and its fresh, sparkling fragrance with notes of jasmine and pink lychee gets you in the mood for summer.
MULTI-PERFECTING NIGHT SERUM AND EYE CREAM
Korean skincare brand Erborian has created an concentrated nightcare range that works while you’re dreaming. The Skin Therapy Multi-Perfecting Night Serum combines 17 plant extracts with expert ingredients such as 10% PHA and hyaluronic acid for visible results from the first night. The serum targets fine lines and wrinkles, nourishes and plumps the skin, improves brightness, suppleness and complexion evenness.
The Skin Therapy Multi-Perfecting Eye Cream combines 9 plant extracts with expert ingredients like caffeine and 5% niacinamide to target all signs of fatigue (puffiness, dark circles, lack of radiance) as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
AN OASIS OF RELAXATION AND BEAUTY
Spritz and step into a world of wonder. The Dream Collection home perfume by Rituals fills the room with a dreamy blend of sheer jasmine, orris, sandalwood and musk. It is designed to transform your office, living room, bathroom and bedroom into an oasis of relaxation and beauty.
