This month it’s all about faces, from eyes to lips and brilliant skin savers.

ORCHIDÉE IMPÉRIALE NIGHT RITUAL
To recreate all the benefits of a ‘seven-hours night’ on the skin, Guerlain has developed the Orchidée Impériale Night Ritual, comprising the Sleeping Serum and the L-Roller massage tool.

While sleep is, obviously, important for the skin, lying static for long periods is not helpful. When insufficient oxygenation hits during the night, skin cells begin to lose vital energy, leaving the skin aggravated and puffy, increasing the visible signs of ageing. Enriched with Night Cell Respiration technology, Guerlain’s Orchidée Impériale Sleeping Serum is designed to diffuse its ingredients directly into the skin to help relaunch cellular regeneration and combat nighttime hypoxia. By regulating cellular respiration, it helps cells maximise energy production, to accelerate regeneration and reduce the visible signs of ageing.

CHARLOTTE DARLING PALETTE
Charlotte Tilbury delights fans by finally sharing the secret to her seductive, sultry signature eye look, with the introduction of the Charlotte Darling Palette. Inspired by her own look, this is a colour-curated archive of Charlotte’s favourite glowing, ibiza-inspired shades to create molten bronzed eyes. For years, Charlotte has been inundated with messages from her fans asking her for the secret behind her favourite, sunset-inspired look and so she decided to re-create her own secret, magic palette and share it with the world.

ROUGE À LÈVRES MAT
Gucci’s new matte lippie is a lip colour with a clear, gelling soft wax base that works in harmony with the pigments to create an intense vivid tone with a matte finish – all in one stroke. The colour is bright and rich, and the feel is smooth, soft and velvety. Rouge à Lèvres Mat has a silk-like texture that delivers comfort, without drying out lips or the colour smudging. The uniform colour intensity and glamorous matte finish give an effortless application.

SNAP SHADOWS MIX & MATCH EYESHADOW PALETTE
The latest offering from singer Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty range is there for you to play and have fun with. Snap Shadows Mix & Match Eyeshadow Palettes come in eight colour stories and are the first mini palettes of their kind that actually snap together. Use them solo, or pair two faves for limitless eye looks in a snap! Plus, Fenty Beauty is bringing you four new tools for effortless definition, blending, and smudging.

Each mini six-pan palette serves up a unique colour story, from smoky to pastel to the perfect lowkey neutrals for your skin tone. Packed with rich, smooth, blendable colour in a rainbow of matte, shimmer, and glitter finishes, each shade was specifically chosen by Rihanna to deliver just the colours you’ll actually want to use.

Peace Out Wrinkles
New in at Sephora, this is a dissolving microneedling patch infused with age fighting retinol, peptides and vitamin C to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Recommended for all skin types, from normal and dry to combination and oily, it claims to fight the signs of ageing including lines, loss of firmness and elasticity, dullness and uneven texture.

It includes retinol, vitamin C and peptides and each patch contains 450 self-dissolving hyaluronic acid microneedles that create tiny pathways for age-fighting ingredients.
