Four new beauty trends worthy of your time and money
Estée Lauder’s new serum (to unlock insanely dewy skin), how to make summer last forever – and why the world’s gone wild for cherry cola lips
Estée Lauder’s launched a new skincare line-up (and the internet is excited)
Hold the homepage. Estée Lauder has dropped not one, not two, but three new Advanced Night Repair heroes to its skincare line.
Joining the (multi-award-winning) OG Night Repair Serum, Estée’s ANR dream team now includes Cleansing Balm, Rescue Solution Serum and (coming soon) a Cleansing Gelée – created for all ages, skin tones and skin types – meaning an A-list PM skincare ritual is within our reach. Here’s what’s new…
Advanced Night Repair Cleansing Balm
A non-acnegenic three-in-one butter-to-oil-to-milk balm, infused with lipid-rich oil (to nourish and replenish) for a deliciously deep clean that won’t upset your skin barrier. Use PM, massaging gently over dry skin before rinsing.
Advanced Night Repair Rescue Solution Serum
With 15% bifidus ferment (to soothe), yeast extract (to calm) and Tripeptide-32 (to renew), this non-sticky, one-of-a-kind skin-soaking formula was developed for sensitive skin – apply PM, pre-serum, on irritated (post-shave, post-blemish), redness-prone skin.
MAC reveals new serum-powered foundation
Consider this your glow foundation era. From the (MUA-adored) makers of Studio Fix Foundation (a global bestseller) comes Studio Radiance Serum-Powered Foundation – designed to target dry skin – for smooth, buildable coverage, 24/7.
MAC Studio Radiance Serum-Powered Foundation is loaded with 33 skincare ingredients, including 10% hyaluronic acid (for instant hydration), plus it promises to reinforce the skin barrier by 38% over time, while protecting against blue light and pollution. Oh, and because it’s MAC, it’s artist-curated, with each of its 56 shades customised for every skin tone and undertone.
Cherry cola lips are A Thing, thanks to TikTok
As of August 2023, #CherryColaLip has raked in 4.9 million views on TikTok – and counting – with searches up by 925% since April.
So what are cherry cola lips – and how can we get them? Essentially it’s a graduated lip colour, bright red in the centre, turning darker to brown along the lip line – like a cherry cola. Think brown lipliner (or brow pencil) + red balm + juicy gloss dabbed on top. Fans of a fuller pout will love it, as will ’90s nostalgics (IMHO it gives serious Sweet Valley High vibes).
The bestselling tan extenders – to make summer last forever
Longing to prolong summer? Same. Why not slather on one of the three best after-sun moisturisers, and keep your skin (and your soul) feeling sunkissed when September sashays in?
