Our favourite shades include Adoration, a satin champagne, Take a Shot, a matte cinnamon, Magnetism, a matte rust pink, and Nitro, a sparkling deep brown.
Givenchy L’Interdit Mascara Couture Volume
Givenchy’s brand-new buildable mascara lengthens, curls, and defines the lashes, delivering a volumising effect that is long lasting and surprisingly easy to remove with just warm water. With a rich and creamy texture, it glides over the lashes with a smooth, weightless effect that is clump free. Givenchy’s 90% natural-origin formula includes d-panthenol and a ceramide-like active to protect and strengthen eyelashes and nourish and smooth the lash surface.

Iselight, an active formed from the African Resurrection Plant, tackles hyperpigmentation, Okra (known as ‘Nature’s Botox’) stimulates collagen, and moringa, marula, and baobab oils to nourish, protect, and calm. Clinical trials revealed a 120% decrease in visible hyperpigmentation, 88% increase in elasticity and skin softness, and 70% increase in skin radiance and glow.

Chanel Lumière De L’Océan
The star of Chanel’s Spring 2024 Collection, Lumière De L’Océan is an iridescent highlighter accented by touches of azure blue. The subtly sheer, pearlescent powder highlighter was designed by Valentina Li, one of China’s top makeup artists, who wanted to create a versatile and buildable product that can be worn as part of an everyday look or used to create the boldest of makeup statements. She delivered. When applied in small amounts to the high points of the face, the complexion is illuminated, mermaid style.
Oribe Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray
Protecting hair from temperatures of up to 232°C, Oribe’s latest launch is a multitasker that nourishes hair, adds softness, and delivers a frizz-free finish on all hair types. The Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray is designed to be sprayed onto dry hair before using hot tools. Once applied, it instantly conditions and restores damaged and weakened strands thanks to a bio-restorative complex of plant collagen, caffeine, biotin, and niacinamide. It can also be used on finished styles, as a dry conditioner, and second day hair, to protect from heat and restore softness.
