Beauty List December 2021: From Make-Up To Fragrance, Here Are 10 Products That Will Help You Get Into The Holiday Spirit
Usher in party season with softly shimmering eyeshadow palettes, skincare that promises an uncharted glow and a gourmand fragrance that will make you the most interesting person in the room…
Smell Good Enough To Eat
Meet the fragrance equivalent of a French patisserie, where marshmallows are soaked in orange blossom water, whipped Chantilly cream adds a sense of airiness and tart citrus and a frosted raspberry note prevent it all from becoming too calorific. A delight for all the senses.
Black Magic
Paris and Seoul may be the skincare capitals of the world, but this beauty line is the marriage of both. Lean on this fantastic face mask with pore-purging charcoal, to brighten and clarify partied-out skin.
The Glitterati
Embossed with the N°5 motif, each shadow bestows a supernatural gleam – from the satiny amber that recalls the N°5 Eau de Parfum to the pearly ivory of N°5 L’EAU. A future collector’s item.
Nail It
The Birkin of manicures has landed in the form of 24 nail polishes that take their inspiration from the fashion house’s iconic Enamel Bracelets. With 70 per cent natural origin formulas, they’re even more fabulous than you imagine.
On The Case
We defy you to find a more luxe way of carrying your Cartier fragrance than in a refillable glass capsule stored inside a case adorned with the brand’s iconic panther, bellboy and red box motifs.
Power Plants
A garden of heavenly scented botanicals – ginseng, rosemary, horsetail, hops and centella asiatica – dew up dry skin while the artful design of the bottle celebrates vibrant cities and abundant greenery both real and imagined.
Gold Digger
What’s in the bottle is as pure as it gets: 100 per cent natural sea buckthorn oil loaded with antioxidants and omegas from this Beirut-born brand.
Shadow Play
Drape your lids in Gardenia Rose, a chrome pink bronze shade that can be worn alone or sit atop any of the matte shadows in this wishlist-worthy palette for a three-dimensional effect.
Red Alert
Red lipstick always rises above the ephemerality of fashion. This universally flattering raspberry shade is set to be a new classic – apply over the whole lip then blur the edges with a Q-tip
Shine Bright
The ultimate solution to your winter skincare needs- Dermalogica’s c-12 pure bright serum. Its lightweight formula works wonders for hyperpigmentation and can be applied twice daily. You’ll thank us later.
