OUR ROUND-UP OF THE BEST NEW BEAUTY LAUNCHES THAT WE CAN'T WAIT TO ROAD-TEST...

1
Dear Dahlia Eternal Shine Illuminating Palette

Feeling a little pasty? Lost your lustre? This gorgeous palette of subtle shimmer will have you emerging from lockdown looking lit from within. A super versatile palette that can be used in a variety of ways to create both day and evening looks, the powder formulas glide over your skin and contain argan oil and cacao seed butter to simultaneously nourish the skin.  Not only does the palette come in a beautiful cardboard compact, it is also 100% vegan and cruelty free. You glow girl.

EMBRYOLISSE, LAIT-CRÈME SENSITIVE

This new multi-tasking product is great for all members of the family, from babies to teens to grown ups.  Moisturiser, cleanser and post-shave soothing product are just a few of it’s many uses and we can imagine this being a handbag/daytrip essential.

Derived from 98% natural ingredients it soothes, moisturises and nourishes through it’s use of soy proteins, aloe vera and shea butter and we love the fact that it’s non sticky, non greasy while still leaving a lovely silky veil on your skin. First trials at FIIVE HQ  are very encouraging!

Biossance, Squalane + Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum( 30ml ), £49

We all know that vitamin C is a wonder ingredient for fading pigmentation and brightening skin tone but what happens when you add the weird sounding but super efficacious Squalane? Biossance have combined the two ingredients to deliver everything you would expect from a vitamin C with the  incredible hydrating benefits of Squalane for long lasting moisture and suppleness. We’ll report back on the long term effects ASAP.

Weleda, Prickly Pear Cactus Hydrating Facial Mist, 100ml, £16

Sometimes you have to brace yourself before you spritz a facial mist. Not with this one. This face freshener feels like stepping into a lush rainforest and the scent is positively drinkable. Containing aloe vera leaf juice and prickly pear cactus extract this facial mist provides an instant boost of hydration that lasts for up to 12 hours but as we’ve been squirting approximately every fifteen minutes for three days now, we cannot vouch for that.

Lanolips 101 ointment fruits, watermelon, 10g, £8.99

Yes, we’re all still chasing a watermelon sugar high and this little tube is making it a lot easier to get that luscious extract of Summer feeling on our parched lockdown kissers.  Nourishing, hydrating and multi-tasking, this fresh smelling balm uses lanolin, vitamin E and watermelon extract to seal in moisture and repair dry lips, elbows, cuticles and any other appendages you might like to give a touch of Summer loving. We feel a beach bundle coming on….
