BEAUTY FINDS IS TEN’S ONLINE SERIES WHERE BEAUTY AUTHORITY EDWINA INGS-CHAMBERS DISSECTS HER MUST-HAVE BEAUTY FINDS EACH MONTH.
So, it’s time for the big summer getaway and to celebrate being able to down tools for a little while this is a top 10 summer beauty special to take in the best of the month that was July and some favourites to pack for any August holiday seeking. See you on the sun lounger – and back here in September.
Get your relaxed summer glow on with Saie Rose Glow Glowy Super Gel. The cult illuminator just got even better with a rosy gold option added to the already much-loved star (think champagne shade) and sun (think bronze) options. It’s a refreshing gel formula that adds a natural-looking dewy radiance without glitter. Also contains glycerine and squalene to add moisture and extra glow. Use alone, on top of make-up or mixed into skincare, but use it. Shop here.
Nuzzle into a fragrant holiday romance with Amouage Guidance 46 Exceptional Extrait, the latest take on the original Guidance EDP which generated a cult following almost immediately upon its launch last year. 46 (it contains 46 per cent perfume oils) is all about emphasising the juxtaposition of the key ingredients so it’s almost the same, but yet so much more than. Key notes include rose, hazelnut, saffron, jasmine, sandalwood and vanilla but really those are just a string of letters and what you need to know is that this is both magnetic and bold, and beckons with a whisper. A luxurious price yes, but not unwarranted. Pick up yours here.
Get that just-pinched flush whilst also blurring and hydrating at the same time with the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Burring Serum Blush – it’s like a tinted skincare item just for the cheeks. The buildable natural-looking colour is applied via a precision tip so you can easily manage the amount you need. Perfect summer vibes. Shop here.
Go small or stay home with the new Drunk Elephant The Littles 7.0 collection launched just in time for heading out on the holiday road. The set of five skincare miniatures will take you from day to night from the Beste No9 Jelly Cleanser to C- day and serum, a night-time glycolic and the cult Protini Polypeptide Cream. Adorable and practical, pick yours up here.
Embrace an icon – especially when it’s now better than ever. Yes, the Givenchy Prisme Libre 4-Colour loose powder was already a legend but now it’s extra. So those colour correcting sets of four complimentary hues designed to harmonise and illuminate (plus set make-up) now come in six shade options to cover all skin tones. The powder is finer than ever helping to blur imperfections like a filter, and the finish is a matte radiance. Even if you’ve never been a powder person before, this could change your mind. Pick yours up here.
Protect but make it fashion with the Dior Solar Protective Cream SPF50 for the body – the most recent addition to the suncare collection with includes a facial SPF, an SPF30 milk, and an after sun. Doesn’t leave a white cast, is water resistant, will look chic in your beach bag and has a delicate monoi fragrance. It’s so this season. Shop here.
Revisit the bronze age by pre-bronzing before your holiday (if you want to, no pressure) with The Future, the self-tan mist innovation from the Tan-Luxe collaboration with Paris Hilton – all housed in a pink can and partnered with a pink tanning mitt. It has an Airbrush 360° continuous spray making it easy to reach the parts that other cans can’t reach with a formula that dries quickly. The result: a golden, sun-kissed glow – without the sun. Get yours here.
Revive on the go any weary limbs whilst on the travelling road – or, frankly, just sitting at your desk – with the MO1 Vita Fresca roll-on. A blend of aloe vera, wheat and olive oils, hyaluronic acid and invigorating mint and menthol this helps to cool, soothe and reinvigorate aching or jet-lagged limbs – and it all comes hand blended from an organic farm in Puglia. Those in the know now have it trustily stored in their in-flight kit. Shop here.
Boost that just-back-from-holiday face by investing in some serious skincare, namely the newest launch from Skinceuticals: P-Tiox. It’s a peptide serum designed to help modulate wrinkles and can have a visible impact in reducing expression lines while also boosting radiance and refining texture so you just look… fresher. So yes, it’s a little like a vacation-effect for your visage in a bottle. Pick yours up here.
Get your shimmer on with 79 Luxe Balm for the body. It’s one of the most sumptuous body products you’ll ever try: a lightweight formula with a nourishing blend of aloe vera, shea butter hyaluronic acid, rose quartz, blackcurrant seed oil and gold to deliver the perfect sheen for bare limbs. Plus it has a subtle but glorious rose aroma. It isn’t new, but if you haven’t tried it before, or have been distracted by other things, then this is the summer to fall in love with it. It’s (literally) golden. Grab yours here.
