Giddy Up
Christine Nagel, director of creation and olfactory heritage for Hermès Parfums is famous for curating scents that linger in all the right ways. Her challenge for the latest fragrance (which she chose to accept) was to encapsulate the atmosphere of the notable scents of the horse world. The animal itself, hay and stirrup leathers all nourished with fragrant balms are just some of her inspiration for the perfume aptly named, Paddock. The result is an incredible woody scent with amber notes that smells like the great outdoors but make it Hermès (and horsey).
Pore Patrol
Goddess glow in a bottle? Charlotte Tilbury’s got you. This 3-in-1 cleanser hydrates, revives, and primes for a spa-level glow in one step. Hyaluronic acid and peptides deliver instant hydration and revival, leaving skin hydrated and noticeably smoother whilst minimising pores.
Beach Balm
Summer in a stick, this all-in-one balm is the secret to a natural, sun-kissed glow with just a swipe. Its hydrating cream-to-powder melts into skin, leaving a silky-soft finish. Bronze, sculpt, and create a monochromatic look on eyes and lips.
#NoFilter
Meet your skin’s new BFF. This all-inone wonder hydrates for 24 hours, delivers a natural, high-shine glow, and can be worn solo or mixed with foundation for customisable radiance. Available in 10 shades, it flatters all skin tones and is made with 94 per cent natural ingredients.
Vanishing Act
This lightweight concealer seamlessly vanishes imperfections, leaving skin hydrated and visibly improved thanks to a blend of paracress, camellia seed, and cacao extracts that smooth, firm, and protect skin with antioxidants.
Shine On
This innovative formula delivers instant volume and a high-shine finish with luxurious hydration. Cooling menthol refreshes, reflective polymers blur imperfections, and a potent blend of plumping ginger, capsicum, and hyaluronic acid leaves lips soft and smooth.
Straight Talk
Smooth, straight, shiny hair, natural volume, no frizz or flyaways, all sans extreme heat and dulling damage? Yes, it’s possible. GHD’s clever straightener uses powerful, controlled airflow to straighten hair in seconds while imparting healthy, radiant shine.
Shield The Day
As days get longer, it’s time to arm yourself with an SPF. Valmont’s LumiCity protects against urban woes (UV, pollution) with five organic and one mineral filter, whilst a powerful plant complex hydrates and protects against ageing. All with a matte, radiant finish to boot.
Butter Believe It
A thirsty skin’s dream come true, this luxurious butter delivers deep hydration with bacuri butter, prebiotic hibiscus, and hyaluronic acid, while the signature Brazilian Soothing Complex calms and comforts. Plus, you’ll smell deliciously of plum, violets, and vanilla.
