I've been prowling the beauty aisles, trialling a tonne of gorgeous new products and lined up the very best of them to share with you. Welcome to my edit of the Top 10 beauty launches I'm obsessing over - from skincare to get you glowing to a just-bitten lip stain and show stopping glitter eyes.
SKIN
Elemental Herbology Water Soothe Facial Oil
The perfect antidote to dull Winter skin, Elemental Herbology Water Soothe Facial Oil helps leave skin feeling soft and soothed, while lavender and chamomile oils entice me to the land of nod in minutes.
Glossier Futuredew
Glossier's new oil-serum hybrid leaves skin with that ever elusive lit from within glow. Top tip: try adding a little extra over makeup as a subtle cheekbone highlight.
MAKE-UP
Chanel Limited Edition Illuminating Powder
For a truly ethereal winter glow, this limited edition Chanel compact is oh so glam it's like a work of art in itself - if you can bring yourself to actually use it!
Becca Pearl Glow Shimmering Eye Palette
From rich browns to shimmering pastels, Becca's new eyeshadow palette includes every shade you'll ever need for day to evening eye looks, with just the right amount of shimmer.
Pixi Glitter-y Eye Quad
Looking for a little more va-va voom? This twinkling quad of four pressed glitter-y shades is the latest addition to Pixi’s purse-friendly make up range. The well pigmented glitter quads come in three colour ways: RoseBronze, GoldLava and BluePearl.
Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Liquid-Gel Eyeliner
Marc Jacobs Beauty has reinvented its renowned Highliner Gel Crayon as a liquid liner. Extremely pigmented and equally long lasting, Highliner Liquid-Gel Eyeliner comes in four permanent shades and three limited-edition ones in striking shades.
Victoria Beckham Beauty Bitten Lip Tint
Victoria Beckham is gradually adding to her sophisticated new beauty collection with more delectable treats, a clever way to reel us in! Your Perfect Pout Lip includes six neutral lip pencils and Bitten Lip Tint in one universal sheer, rosy tone to layer over the pencils or wear alone. Genius.
FRAGRANCE
Jo Malone Rose & Magnolia
Rose and Magnolia is the latest scent in the Jo Malone London family, a fresh and uplifting blend, beautifully packaged with a chic blue label. The brand has also launched a charity candle shining a light on mental health, in uplifting Lily of the Valley and Ivy. 75% of is cost (minus VAT) will be donated to ten charities supporting people with mental health issues and their families.
Zara Emotions by Jo Malone
If you fancy a treat for the senses without digging quite so deep, Jo Malone herself (of Jo Loves) has created an exclusive range for high street retailer, Zara. Zara Emotions is a collection of eight fragrances including Ebony Wood, Vetiver Pamplemousse and Fleur d'Oranger - and despite the accessible price range, there has been no compromise on quality.
My favourite is the same as Jo's - the heady Bohemian Bluebells, with lavender, sandalwood and musk - which she claims to be ‘unlike anything you’ve ever smelt before.’ The 10ml rollerballs are brilliantly priced at £5.99 and the perfect handbag size. Larger bottles come in at £15.99 for 40ml and £25.95 for 90ml. (The Belfast stand was looking a little sparse last week but you can purchase at Zara online.)
HAIR
Moroccanoil Color Depositing Masks
Moroccanoil's argan oil-infused range is a godsend for hair that needs serious TLC - or any fan of super strong, glossy locks! It's new Colour Depositing Masks help maintain the quality of our hair colour and come in seven shades from Champagne to Bordeaux. This deep-conditioning treatment contains strengthening amino acids, hydrating apricot kernel oil and conditioning hydrolysed soy protein - as well as pure pigments.
