Just when we thought we couldn’t possibly need any more beauty bits, March arrived. From YSL Beauty to Charlotte Tilbury, this month’s brand-new beauty launches have had us quite literally squealing with excitement, and we consider it our solemn duty to share that joy with you…
YSL Beauty
In the wake of a pandemic that saw us eschewing lipsticks in favour of scratchy masks, we’re still learning to love lipstick all over again. Enter: a new wave of better, more comfortable lipsticks in the form of YSL’s Rouge Pur Couture The Bold; reigniting our love for lipstick with a formula that’s so thin, lightweight and build-able, that it feels too futuristic to be true. Yet true it is, and it’s packed with caring oils to provide ten hours of comfort without compromising on bold pigment.
Carolina Herrera Beauty
Beauty that doubles as an accessory? Yes please. Carolina Herrera Beauty’s very first eyeshadow collection comes in deliciously collectible, charm-like “chips” that can be customised with the brand’s beautiful tassels and charms, while the cream-to-powder formula itself gives even coverage and hours of wear without creasing or flaking.
Huda Beauty
Every single Huda Beauty launch ends up being an icon – fact. So, when the new all-matte palettes and kohl liners landed on our desks, we all but drooled in excitement. The kohl offers a delightful nod to Arab history and culture, and its quality is second to none, thanks to the long-lasting and transfer-proof pigment. The Matte Obsessions palettes too boast the quality pigment that we already know and love, this time reiterated in edgy 90s hues.
Loewe Perfumes
Inspired by the symbiosis found in nature, Loewe Perfumes’s limited-edition set pairs two new “Botanical Rainbow” fragrances: LOEWE Aire Sutileza and LOEWE Solo Ella. Together, they complement each other beautifully, and they’re released with layering in mind. Juicy, bold and feminine, wear one on your neck and one on your wrists to create your own bespoke scent that’s diffuses with each gesture.
Charlotte Tilbury
Having already taken social media by storm (thanks to their one-dot-wonder pigments and incredible glow-giving powers), Charlotte Tilbury’s Blush Wands are now available in new “Pillow Talk” shades; each new hue is a variation of pinkey-nude, and they’re made to suit all skin tones.
Davines
Nowadays, there’s simply no need to subject yourselves to sad, chalky dry shampoos that make your hair feel gritty. In fact, Davines’ industry-adored offering has finally landed in the Middle East, and it’s what all our three-day-old-hair-dreams are made of. It cleanses, adds volume, absorbs oils and makes your blow-dry last longer. Oh, and the scent? To die for.
CELLRETURN
PSA: CELLRETURN describe their Platinum LED Mask as “the award-winning, most powerful LED Mask on the market” because it penetrates skin twelve times deeper than its competitors. It uses NASA-derived tech, and it uses red, blue and pink lights to target a myriad of skin concerns like acne, redness, fine lines and hyperpigmentation – all from the comfort of your own couch.
Thameen London
The perfect fragrance for spring, Thameen London’s Fanfare takes the very essence of London’s iconic Covent Garden Flower Market and bottles it in nuanced layers of musk, vetiver, rosemary and bergamot. The resulting scent is fresh and sweet, like a deep, grounding breath of fresh air on a lovely sunny day.
