9 Golden Beauty Buys You Need This January
New year, new you just became a whole lot easier to achieve with these not-so-little luxuries – step into the BAZAAR beauty closet and see what we’re using now.

Supreme Skin
Sisley Supremÿa at Night Anti-Aging Skin Care, Dhs2,920 for 50ml
Merging comforting night cream and potent serum together as one, Sisley’s bed time saviour uses Phyto-Complex LC12 as a powerful plant-activated base to ward off the skin’s natural ageing process. With evening being the optimised time for cellular regeneration, you’ll wake up with a firmer, more radiant complexion.

Strong Foundations
Serge Lutens at Net-a-Porter Special Cream Foundation, Dhs570 for 30ml
Fancy French-hailing beauty brand, Serge Lutens is mostly famed for its signature scents, however its miracle-working foundation has come straight in at number one on our beauty lust-list. Feathery light on the skin while still giving effective coverage, the cream formula has been knowledgeably designed to turn into a “powdery veil” once applied, while still giving skin a hydrated finish.

Gold Standard
Chantecaille Gold Recovery Mask at Look Fantastic, Dhs990 for 50ml
This richly moisturising and multi-tasking mask boasts ingredients such as blackcurrant seed oil, silk extracts, and, much to the bougie beauty-lover’s delight, 24k gold. The powerful formula’s addition of powerful probiotics revitalises skin and gives glowing, toned results, and can be worn overnight
for extra intensive nourishing.

Fashionable Fragrance
Alaïa Beauty at Net-a-Porter Alaïa Paris Eau de Parfum, Dhs8,100 for 1000ml
A Tunisian upbringing is the childhood memory behind Azzedine Alaïa’s Eau de Parfum. Pink pepper and peonies flow into notes of musk for this heady, modern scent. The bottle, of which there are only 300 globally, takes its intricately patterned inspiration from early ‘80s leather corsets designed by the house. Très chic.

Desert Storm
Chanel OMBRE PREMIÈRE LAQUE in Rayon, Dhs140
Chanel Beauty maverick Lucia Pica has drawn upon poetic memories and the muted hues of desert dunes for the Summer 2020 Desert Dream collection. The cosmetics aim to provide a natural filter that makes everything look dreamier, and our favourite is the OMBRE PREMIÈRE LAQUE in Rayon, which will add beautiful brightening accents to eyelids.

Precious Oils
Tom Ford Intensive Infusion Face Oil at Selfridges, Dhs1,210
‘Renew, Repair and Rejuvenate’ are the three ‘R’s’ we like to hear when it comes to our beauty regime, and Tom Ford’s luxurious and deeply penetrating face oil ticks all the boxes. The plant-based formula nourishes at an intense level while actively infusing the complexion with hydrating agents and effective nutrients for a flawless, brighter finish.

Diamond In The Rough
111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Cream, Dhs4,020
Diamonds may be a long-standing friend to a girl’s décolletage, but why stop the rapport there? 111SKIN’s restorative, highly concentrated cream utilises rare black diamond particles that are believed to have been formed in space. This opulent addition gives access to deeper dermal layers of skin and transport collagen and Hyaluronic acid for a restorative, youthful appearance.

All-Time Highlighter
Guerlain Illuminating Face Powder, Dhs230
As sumptuous in look as it is in results, Guerlain’s marbled powder highlighter bakes rose gold and deep bronze shades together for a second-skin texture and illuminating finish. ‘Ideal for reviving the aura of a slightly tired autumn complexion’ and perfect for a New Year glow.

Take Cover-age
Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer, Dhs125
If like us you are still struggling with the effects of post-festivities dark, undereye circles, fear no more. Dior’s next-generation concealer provides a stretch texture and weightless sensation, all the while delivering a super durable product. We’re dabbing it onto our under eyes with the new more generous applicator then blending it in with our fingers – a little amount goes a long way (and hides a multitude of Sunday morning sins).
