KYLIE JENNER SKIN SECRETS
You’ve probably seen KYLIE SKIN all over Instagram, it’s been a bit of a hot topic over the last week but Kylie Jenner has revealed that her first skincare range will be launching on 22 May. The brand is cruelty-free, vegan, glute-free, paraben and sulfate free and suitable for all skin types. Products in the range include: Makeup Removing Wipes, Walnut Face Scrub, Foaming Face Wash, Vitamin C Serum, Face Moisturizer Hydrant, Eye Cream, Vanilla Milk Toner and Travel Bags.
CALENDULA THIS WAY
One of my favourite skincare brands is Kiehl’s – in my eyes, they can do no wrong when it comes to skincare products that withstand the efficacy you’d expect from your products. The brand has today unveiled its new Calendula Serum-Infused Water Cream, a weightless formula that releases a burst of soothing, long-lasting hydration, leaving a soft yet dewy finish to the skin. The calendula petal has been part of the Kiehl’s portfolio since the 1960’s following the launch of the brand’s Calendula Herbal Extract Toner.
MAN NEED A TREAT?
There’s a new men’s grooming brand on the block – HORACE. Originating from France and serving as a one-stop shop for high quality, 95% natural men’s grooming essentials, the brand’s products have been formulated without aluminium, silicones and parabens. Products on offer include: Gentle Purifying Shampoo, Deodorant, Purifying Cleanser, Hair Wax, Beard Oil, Shaving Cream and Mattifying Face Moisturizer, among others.
