Another long month, finally done. And with it comes new upgrades to our vanities. New changes in routine, new scents to cement the season, and new favourites that we’re not sure how we lived without before. While the skin has arguably suffered through dehydration and stress, beauty drops in March were all about reversing the damage. So we have youth serums and hydrating tints alongside innovative makeup and spring-induced scents. See below our curated edit of the top beauty releases.
Anastasia Beverly Hills | ArchiBrow Pencil
A razor-thin brow pencil that almost feels like a microblade for your brows! Made for extreme precision in case you’re looking for the perfect soap brows or those ‘90s style thin ones. With 9 shades and a vegan, cruelty-free formula, Anastasia Beverly Hills has just given us a reason to skip on those microblading sessions.
Creed | Wild Vetiver Eau de Parfum
The latest to enter our Spring fragrance rotation, this one transports us to the English countryside. And between the fluctuating rain and sunshine in the UAE, we’re already halfway there to British lands. Timur Berries, Rose Centifolia, and Vetiver are the main accords of this fragrance, opening with a floral burst and settling into a woody depth. Fresh, spicy, and a tad herbal, the scent is an ideal daytime spring scent.
Huda Beauty | Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder in Matcha Milk Cake
Taking her signature pore-blurring powder and reimaging it into a colour-correcting form, Huda has gone and made our makeup routines so much easier! The soft green powder corrects redness, brightens the skin tone, and leaves behind that signature airbrushed finish that we all know and love. Pick this up if you want to perfect your natural makeup or if you’re looking to correct any blush blindness.
Memo Paris | Cap Camarat
Cap Camarat comes with a little extra character thanks to Memo Paris’s collaboration with Italian artist Olimpia Zagnoli, whose bold, sun-soaked illustration wraps the bottle in the same warmth the scent tries to capture. Inside, it opens with a bright, breezy lift before settling into creamy vanilla, jasmine and soft woods. The result feels like a postcard from the Côte d’Azur, playful, light-filled and made for days when you want your fragrance to feel like summer.
Olehenriksen | Peach Glaze 2% Niacinamide Cleanser
The latest by Olehenriksen aims to transform the skincare regimen into a ritual. The soft cream lathers up into a luxurious foam, making the daily cleanse a time to slow down and move with intention. With 2% Niacinamide and peach extract, the cleanser strips away any dirt, sweat, SPF, and other gunk while leaving behind the skin’s natural moisture. It also tightens the pores and leaves behind a subtle peach scent that invigorates the senses.
Refy | Skin Base
Adding to our list of hybrid products we need for on-the-go makeup moments, Refy’s Skin Base performs as a skin tint and works like standard skincare. The lightweight gel texture smooths on like hot butter on toast, covering any spots or pigmentation while leaving behind a natural finish. And ingredients like Inclusium™ and Hyaluronic Acid mean the skin stays hydrated throughout the day, adapting as a second skin.
Sisley | Black Rose Concentrate Radiant Youth Serum
Considering how the month of March has aged us all with stress alone, Sisley’s new serum is the pick-me-up we need for a skincare boost. Formulated with Black Rose extract, the serum works like a reset button for tired, dull skin, plumping it and leaving behind a soft glow. It works just as well under makeup, keeping the skin hydrated as you layer on top.
Summer Fridays | Sunlit Vanilla
Vanilla fragrances have been trending in particular lately, and the latest by Summer Fridays is one of them. A warm gourmand scent, the fragrance is inspired by summers at Saint-Tropez. With notes of Bergamot, Caramel, Coconut, Vanilla, Musk, and Amber, this scent is like a salted caramel coconut milkshake in a bottle. The sillage is also quite strong with this one, so if caramel cookies match your scent profile, then spritz away!
