World Traveller
Perhaps better known for its frangrances and to-die-for smelly candles, French brand Diptyque Paris is gearing up for the summer vacation with the launch of a skin care travel collection called The Art of Care. Coming in a gorgeous atlas-inspired bag, the line is said to be inspired by ancestral rights and raw materials and is designed to treat and hydrate skin exposed to UVA/UVB rays.
The collection consists of a body polish, a shower gel, a body lotion and a hand balm, all of which, no doubt, smell divine.
A Sniff of Dua Lipa
Described as pop music’s bold new voice, since her eponymous debut album in 2017, London-born Dua Lipa has been breaking records, becoming the most streamed female artist in the world.
She’s been nominated for multiple industry awards, was hailed as a Next Generation Leader by Time magazine and has tens of millions of Instagram followers.
Now she’s adding another string to her bow as the new YSL Beauté Fragrance Ambassador, a role which will begin in September with a campaign for a new feminine fragrance.
Let’s Go Barbie
Move over Kardashian/Jenners, Sephora Collection has managed to grab a collabo with the ultimate beauty icon, Barbie!
The Barbie Collection – which will be loved by girls both big and little – includes a miniature Super Barbie eye shadow palette containing six super pigmented shades as well as a limited edition of the brand’s much-loved #Lipstories lipsticks in various finishes. On the skin care side there’s an aloe vera-infused restorative hand mask, nourishing hair mask, a face primer mask and a moisturising foot mask.
We’re feeling a pink day coming on.
Lemony Goodness
If, like us, you love the gym gear from Canadian brand Lululemon, you’ll be excited to hear that they’re planning to “make sweaty amends” for all that exercise induced glowing with the launch of a range of après workout products. Dubbed Lululemon Selfcare, the collection includes a face moisturiser, a dry shampoo to tame those sweaty locks, a lip balm and, loving this, an “anti-stink” deodorant. They’re gender neutral and “tested on athletes, not animals”.
A Democratic Launch
The long-awaited launch of Lady Gaga’s beauty brand, Haus Laboratories, is making history as the first major beauty brand to be sold exclusively on Amazon.
In an interview, Gaga told The Business of Fashion (BoF) that she chose to launch with the online retailer because she feels Amazon gives her the ability to do whatever she wants with her own company.
With orders being taken from mid-July, Gaga teased the September launch in a video featuring herself and a group of male and female models all bedecked in brightly coloured and sparkly make-up.
