Beauty Hot List – Jan/Feb 2018
What’s hot you say? Apart from the burning sun toasting your skin to oblivion, I’d say it’s these top ten most covetable beauty picks you need to put on your shopping list.
Pollution fighter
Packed with charcoal and kaolin clay, Cosmedix Detox Activated Charcoal Mask, $99, draws out oil, dirt and debris to cleanse your pores of impurities. Use at night to decongest your fatigued skin of the day’s pollution and grime.
Gigi’s collection
The highly anticipated Gigi x Maybelline limited edition capsule collection was arguably the most highly anticipated collection of 2017. Combining affordability with luxury, the range nods to Gigi’s jet-setting lifestyle with a collection dedicated to pursue her signature Cali girl next door look dubbed West Coast Glow and her edgy NYC style in East Coast Glam.
Active solution
New Zealand bee venom and manuka honey come together in Fernz Bee Venom Mask, $55.90, to create a powerful pamper product that stimulates facial muscles and collagen production. Its skin-plumping action reduces wrinkle depth while the Vitamin B’s help hydrate the skin.
Peel & reveal
If there’s one thing you need this summer, it’s the Ginger & Me Body Peel, $69.95. A skin-correcting body exfoliator with high levels of Lactic and Glycolic acids, it effectively melts away the buildup of dead skin cells to reveal baby smooth, glowing skin.
Skin smoother
Following the huge surge in popularity after reports of Kate Middleton and Michelle Obama being avid users of the Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel, the Daynite24+, $149, has been created to boost the plumping and firming properties of the original gel. Visibly reducing wrinkle depth immediately, the anti-aging moisturiser is a serious must-try.
Summer statement
A gorgeous compilation of trend-transcending hues in the Zoeva Offline Eyeshadow Palette, $TBA, will be a surefire head turner. Exuding a seductive power with their sandy beiges and exotic deep floral pastels, blend the shadows with their perfectly capsuled Offline Brush Set, $TBA .
Butter up
Following a day out in the hot summer sun, we mustn’t neglect feeding and replenishing our skin that will suffer from dehydration. Nourish and hydrate your armour with the all-natural Sukin Moisture Rich Body Cream, $20.99, that’s packed with cocoa, sesame, jojoba and shea butter that smells simply heavenly.
Energy booster
A blend of immune boosters and growth factors in the Environ Vita-Enriched Colostrum Gel, $85.80, works to stimulate collagen and elastin production to thicken and tighten the skin. Use hand-in-hand with Vitamin A to strengthen and revitalise fatigued, sun damaged skin.
Flower power
Joining the L’Occitane Immortelle Divine line is the buttery Cleansing Balm, $65, and cushiony Cleansing Cream-in-Foam, $58; two sensorially luxurious products that harnesses the age-defying properties of the Immortelle flower. These new formulas will make you look forward to your double cleansing regime.
