The latest from the world of beauty
Time for bed
Weleda’s new Calendula baby bath (£8.50, weleda.co.uk) contains a mix of pure plant extracts including thyme, to calm body and soul so your little one can relax and unwind at the end of the day in preparation for a good night’s sleep. Developed by doctors and pharmacists and with the advice of midwives and baby health professionals, this product is formulated to soothe and settle the body, the senses and the skin - like a lullaby in a bottle.
Foundation forever
Clarins new Everlasting Compact Foundation SPF15 is a silky smooth, super-comfortable makeup that lasts for 15 hours. As well as full matte coverage, it hydrates, magnifies and diffuses light, and protects from UV and pollution. Apply it dry for a transparent finish or wet for full coverage. £27, clarins.co.uk
Luscious new lippies
Lipstick fans rejoice – Bobbi Brown’s new Marrakesh Chic collection has five new colours in different formulas, including the gorgeously creamy and sexy Rich Lip Colour in Desert Rose (£18, John Lewis, bobbibrown.co.uk). And if that wasn’t enough, CID’s new i-Pout (£15, newcidcosmetics.com) comes in seven intense matt shades and has built in mirror and lights – so you can apply anywhere, anytime.
Some Simple advice
Want to winter-proof your skin? Check the ingredients in your moisturiser. ‘Look out for products containing humectants,’ says Simple skincare expert Caroline Frazer. ‘These include glycerin, sorbitol and alpha-hydroxy acids, which attract moisture to your skin.’ Try Simple’s Kind To Skin Moisture Boost Hydro Cream (£5.99, Boots) which contains glycerin plus lotus flower to revive lack-lustre complexions and lock in moisture for 24 hours.
Looking rosy
Looking tired, drawn or sallow? Sisley’s new Black Rose face mask (£88, John Lewis, sisley-cosmetics.com) is stuffed with anti-ageing ingredients to smooth and plump, revitalise, moisturise and nourish tired skin, in just 15 minutes. Try it at home or head to the Sisley counter at John Lewis for a full-on facial. We tried it - find out what we thought at cambridgeshireagenda.co.uk
