August Beauty Buys is here, and we’ve curated a list of beauty heroes that deserve a spot on your vanity!
As August unfolds, it’s the perfect time to refresh your beauty arsenal and elevate your vanity game. Whether you’re a skincare enthusiast, makeup maven, or someone who loves to stay ahead of the beauty curve, we’ve got you covered.
For the August Beauty Buys, we focus on easy, breezy formulas that perform effortlessly. In the skincare section, we select products that keep the skin hydrated and nourished throughout the hot summer days. Lancôme reinvents the Absolue The Eye Cream with the power of AI to target fine lines for a youthful look. We also love the Urban Jungle Glow With The Flow Serum to keep the skin hydrated. When we’re not soaking up the summer sun, we’re often at our desks typing away, which means dealing with dehydration from air-conditioned rooms. Aesop’s Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm saves us by keeping our hands nourished and our minds calm with its soothing scent.
For makeup, we embrace saturated colours from blush to lips. Chanel launches the Joues Contraste Intense, a cream-to-powder blush that gives a natural, flushed-from-within look. In the lip category, we obsess over the Dior Rouge Balm for hydration and the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix for a luscious pout.
When it comes to body care, the new Sol de Janeiro Rio Radiance Body Oil stands out. It not only protects your skin from the sun with SPF 50 but also gives you that coveted summertime glow. For hair, we rely on the Briogeo Style + Treat™️ Yuzu + Plum Oil Sleek Stick to tame pesky flyaways and frizz, delivering a polished, sleek look.
