The beauty industry moves at a very fast pace and there are new launches ALL the time.
Although January might traditionally call for healthy detoxes and sensible nights in, we all need a pick-me-up and a new beauty product (or two) definitely ticks the ‘treat yourself’ box.
Below are three launches, budget and high-end, that I’m freaking out about right now.
NARS Primer, €34
There are three different options: Radiance, Pore & Shine and Smooth & Protect.
Although I would term Pore & Shine the ‘holy grail’ because large pores and an oily T-zone drive me around the bend on a daily basis, Radiance gives the most fabulous glow, perking up dull, tired skin.
Smooth & Protect blurs imperfections, refines skin and protects, thanks to SPF 50. Choosing just one might be tough but I like the idea of using Pore & Shine for an oily T-zone and adding Radiance around the cheekbones to make the most of the ‘pearlescence’ effect.
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Winter Remedy, €6.59
Winter hair mares.
Central heating dehydrates hair while unpredictable weather conditions amounts to constant frizz… it’s little wonder that our locks are crying out for TLC.
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve made a conscious effort to apply a weekly treatment and there’s a definite improvement in the manageability, shine, and softness of my hair.
Affordable budget buy, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Winter Remedy, is extra-concentrated and one use should make a noticeable difference to the condition of your mane.
Setting aside time for a hair mask is easier said than done so the fact that this one only needs to be left on for three minutes will appeal to gals on the go.
MAC Lip Scrubtious, €15.50
As I’ve ranted about before, chapped lips are the bane of my life.
I’ came across a natural beauty hack to treat that nasty, flaky skin, which you can see here, but I’m also loving this new launch from MAC, Lip Scrubtious.
They smell amazing, you’ll keep applying for that very reason, and you can choose from five options: Candied Nectar, Fruit of Passion, Summer Berry, Sweet Brown Sugar and Sweet Vanilla.
There’a dual action going on, with a gentle exfoliator buffing away dead skin, and nourishing conditioners, shea butter and grape seed oil FYI, rehydrating your pout.
