Formulated and appropriate for a variety of skin tones, it provides long-term colour correcting benefits to visibly brighten the complexion and a unique moisture complex that instantly plumps skin and improves its ability to retain moisture.

A brightening blend of Cucumber, Apple and Scutellaria Extracts work to brighten the complexion and even skin tone, as well as provide long-term skin perfecting and correcting benefits.

MAC x LORDE COLLAB DUE THIS JUNE

This is happening people, MAC Cosmetics is pairing up with “Royals” singer Lorde for a limited-edition makeup collection which is set to hit shelves on June 5th.

“I have loved MACCosmetics since I was a little kid. I remember saving up to buy my very first MAC lipstick [Snob] at 14, and it was used by about 20 of my friends! MAC has a very clear aesthetic, that has always felt fashion forward to me. So I was really excited to work with them on these products, which I use pretty much every day and night. I hope you will too.”

Will we be seeing a Snob(ish) pink hue in the collection, or will it be strictly dark berry shades?

PERCY REED LAUNCHES PERFECTLY PERFECTING WONDER BALM WITH ELLE

This evening ELLE Beauty Director Sophie Beresiner welcomed us to the ELLE fashion cupboard to hear about a world first, the first ever beauty launch on the cover of a fashion magazine. Tomorrow hair care brand Percy & Reed launches its new Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Balm, the product will change the way you do your hair, P&R say it’s the “cream de la cream”. A miracle leave-in primer for your hair, how ever you style it, Wonder Balm makes your regular styling products work extra hard, giving you more control and better results that last longer. Giving you healthy looking flawless (can’t help but say “Ladies, tell ’em!” when I hear Flawless – thanks Bey) hair.

The Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Balm fills and seals the cuticle to add gloss, lock out humidity and add light volume whilst conditioning the hair. The product will retail at £18, and can be used on all hair types (yes including afro hair) and on dry hair to maximise definition.

Think of the product like a primer for the skin – if you use a natural oil (coconut/olive/jojoba) to moisturise your hair, use this before the Wonder Balm, as you would moisturise your skin before applying a primer. Then style as desired.

As stated the product will retail for £18 for 75ml from PercyandReed.com, selected Space NK and John Lewis stores. So I suggest you get it for £4 on the cover of the April issue of ELLE magazine while you can and get some cute no make up skin tips while you’re at it!
