The other evening the lovely people at M&S invited press and bloggers for a preview of the new brands launching in M&S beauty, and there were a mix of brands from established to niche that are going to make M&S Your Beauty a real nirvana for beauty junkies like myself. I love the idea of doing a food shop and then popping upstairs and seeing niche hard to find but truly amazing products all under one roof, so I decided to do a little what to buy feature today to help those out who are unfamiliar with M&S beauty and their new brands…
Philip Kingsley Daily Damage Defence Conditioning Spray*: This product has been described as the every day version of Kingsley’s star product the Elasticizer. It conditions hair as well as protecting tresses from the evils of blow dries/straightening and tonging. It also smells delicious.
REN Micellar Water*: REN are one of my favourite ever skincare brands so I’m thrilled that they’re launching in M&S. This 3 in 1 micellar water is a cut above the rest as it feels as though it genuinely cleanses skin as opposed to just removing makeup. Save this for the nights where you’re too tired for the full on cleanse tone and moisturise.
Fragonard Soleil*: This scent is fast overtaking my beloved Diptyque Do Son. Hailing from perfume capital of the world Grasse France, Fragonard create unique and beautiful fragrances which will set you apart from everyone else. Soleil in particular is a gorgeous blend of jasmine and orange blossom, off set by amber, sandalwood and musk. The staying power is also better than most, dabbed on the wrists and behind the ears I could still smell it hours later.
Skyn Iceland Eye Gel Pads*: Treat tired eyes to a little TLC. I love these eye gel pads to cool down puffy/tired or stressed eyes (cough cough post tears). Instantly calm down any dehydration or puffiness and leave you bright eyed (literally) and bushy tailed.
Autograph Compact Foundation*: The new Autograph makeup range is incredibly impressive, beautiful quality with gorgeous pigment. This cream compact foundation works best for touch ups on the go and glides onto skin to leave a flawless and dewy complexion.
Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser*: Murad skincare was founded by Dr Murad- a board certified dermatologist, and his products deal with any and every skin concern possible. This cleanser is perfect for exfoliating and toning the skin using blemish busting ingredients such as salicylic acid. One to use in the lead up to a big event or just when skin isn’t looking 100%.
Diego Dalla Palma*: Diego Dalla Palma’s a new Italian makeup line launching in M&S in uber cool packaging with amazing staying power and pigment. I highly recommend the lipsticks for a pop of colour.
Leighton Denny Nail Repair Cream*: This nail cream promises to bring back nails from the dead, well sorta. My nails are flakey after a Summer of shellac so I’m looking forward to testing this out. I somehow doubt that nail meistro Leighton Denny could disappoint…
Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum*: I’ve made no secret of my love for Jurlique and the herbal recovery range is my favourite. Designed to make skin more radiant, youthful and generally in better nick this serum and the rest of the antioxidant range fights against environmental aggressors and ensures supermodel worthy skin.
