It’s a serious perk of the job here at Her.ie towers that we get to try and test some of the latest and greatest beauty releases and call it work. Lucky us.
Here is a heads up on four products that got a communal thumbs up from the team in the week that was…
GLOSSYBOX
When it comes to monthly beauty subscriptions, GLOSSYBOX comes up trumps every single time. This September, our favourite monthly beauty fix has partnered with international fashion house, Karen Millen to celebrate London Fashion Week with a limited edition London skyline box. The skyline sketch was created by Karen Millen’s in-house illustrator as part of their AW14 collection. (One to definitely hang onto and store a few bits and bobs).
The fashion focused collaboration includes products such as L’Oreal Mythic Hair Masks and Oil, Origins Anti-Aging Serum, Nails Inc Top Coat, Model Co. Brow Gel and Skin Pep enzyme peel.
The real beauty about GLOSSYBOX is the price. This limited edition box is €15 and will be available throughout September 2014 from www.glossybox.co.uk while stocks last.
Dream Dots
Whether you’re prone to bad skin, experience hormonal breakouts around that time of the month or you get the occasional spot from stress or over-indulging in sugary foods, Dream Dots is your new best friend.
Dream Dots, which is the brainchild of Irish business woman Donna Ledwidge, can be used on all skin types and is designed to work overnight so as to ensure they won’t interrupt your daily beauty regime which means you can sleep your way to spot free skin. Application is easy – cleanse the affected area, secure the patch in place and wait for clear results.
Unlike regular spot treatments, the advantage of Dream Dots is that the skin and pore is protected at all times, this prevents squeezing (something which the majority of us are all guilty of). Dream Dots are a safe class 2A medical device which are CE, BSI, and FDA approved product that can be used as an add-on with any skincare routine. With the party season just around the corner, (yes, we are talking about Christmas), a packet of Dream Dots will have home in every member of the Her.ie team!
CND Vinylux
There is something very satisfying about staring down at a freshly painted hand and there is no doubt that nails are an important final touch to any look, and so the lovely folk over at CND have perfected a top coat formula to ensure your polish doesn’t budge.
Something that we tend to neglect when it comes to home-manicures is the Top Coat, which is like putting on foundation and forgetting about the bronzer or powder. The new CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat is one investment every lady needs to make. The breakthrough polish that lasts a week, we’ve put it to the test and trust us, it works. With superior adhesion and a perfect finish, this bottle costs €11.95 and is worth every single cent.
CND Vinylux polish is available in 62 fashion-forward colours, 30 of which match popular CND Shellac shades, ideal for at-home touch-ups. In case you missed it, we took a look at three nail trends inspired by A/W runway collections, all of which were perfected with CND polish.
Burts Bees
We confessed our love for Burts Bees many times on the pages of Her.ie, and back in May their wonderful lip shimmers featured in our Beauty Products of The Month video.
We’re back again to show the range a little more love as the stunning autumn shades have arrived. Burts Bees Lip products boast an array of brownie points – all products are 100 per cent natural, with key ingredients such as Vitamin E and Bees Wax that ensure your lips stay moisturised, and not to mention the fantastic colour pay off.
In the Burts Bees Tinted Lip Balm collection our favourite A/W colour has to be Red Dahlia and in the Lip Shimmer range, we’re loving Fig Figue, both are an absolute steal at €8.
