GO TROPICAL
Last year, Ashley Graham partnered with Revlon to release two lip kits, both of which sold out in just three hours. The duo now introduces the Tropical Vibes Collection, which includes the Tropical Pop Kit and the Tropical Heat Kit. The first includes the Tropical Vibes Post Beach Glow Face & Eye Kit, a face and eye palette with 10 shades, both shimmery and matte textures, all hand-selected by Graham, as well as the Tropical Vibes Lip Highlights in Island Hopping, which is a sheer gloss. The Tropical Heat Kit includes the Tropical Vibes Golden Lava Face & Body Bronzer, a liquid bronzer that gives skin a wet, dewy look. It also includes another Lip Highlights in the shade Gold Rush, a golden lip gloss that will amp up any look.

STEPPING UP
The L’Oreal group, which owns brands including La Roche-Posay and Garnier, announced a Europe-wide programme in late March to do its bit in the Coronavirus pandemic. The cosmetic conglomerate is using its factories to produce hand sanitiser and hydroalcoholic gel, distributing it to French and European authorities. La-Roche Posay is supplying free hand sanitiser to its partnering French pharmacies, hospitals and care homes. Garnier is supplying several million units of free hand sanitiser to its European food distribution stakeholders. L’Oreal will be donating almost USD1.1 million to its partner non-profit organisations, which are helping the most vulnerable during the pandemic.

BACK TO THE ‘90s
Salt-N-Pepa fans were recently on an all-time high when the female rap group jammed with Milani to present the limited edition Collector’s Bundle featuring four items in a 100-per-cent recycled paper custom box set. The Shoop Lip Kit is a lipstick and lip liner in a deep, rich nude tone, while Push It is a lip kit which is a nod to a bold red lip. The collection also has two eyeshadow and highlighter palettes; Hot, Kool and Vicious, and Very Necessary.

FOR THE PRINCESS IN YOU
Colourpop has launched the Mulan collection in collaboration with Disney. The collection features makeup from Colourpop and two skin-care products from Fourth Ray Beauty (Colourpop’s sister brand). The Mulan Palette is warm-toned, featuring a mix of 15 matte, metallic and foiled shadows; made for a princess. The Honor To Us All Lux Lip Trio, Colourpop’s first-ever, includes a bold red liquid lipstick, a gold gloss, and a lipstick. Matchmaker (a pale nude) and Good Luck Charm (a soft terracotta shade with gold shimmer) are pressed powder blushes that are great for adding a soft flush to your cheeks. Fourth Ray’s Beauty Face Milk and Lip Mask Bundle comprises Jasmine Tea Face Milk and the Gold Lip Mask.

MUSICAL EYES
Ahead of the new movie, Trolls World Tour, releasing in April, the PÜR X TROLLS WORLD TOUR: Classical Palette is all glitter and happiness. This neutral, travel-sized, pressed pigments palette comes with an array of expressive colours with high pigment payoff designed with the classical Trolls tribe in mind. The six unique shades work together in harmony for award-worthy makeup and stay true to Ü looks that deserve to be on top of the classical charts. Also in the collaboration’s collection are the Charts Face Trio that brings natural shine to your face, and the Lip Gloss Kit creates plump, sparkling lips.
