Your South Wales Wedding - May/June 2024 (Issue 97)

Get the look with the latest must-haves BUZZ Beauty GET THE SET Back with a new launch, Ciaté London has announced the extension of its cult Extraordinary range with these fab tinted loose setting powders. Yes, the Extraordinary Setting Powder has arrived in two new shades – pink and honey. These new makeup hybrid powders are formulated with vitamin C, liquorice extract and niacinamide for flawless results and nourished skin – a double win! The pink tone effectively counteracts any dull, blue tones, often present in the undereye area, creating the perfect touch of brightness. Meanwhile, the honey version smooths over make-up for a crease-free, softfocus finish with no flashback. Priced at £18 you can find them at www.ciatelondon.com HERE COMES THE SUN Clarins Research has combined the best of science with the power of plants to develop the Solar Protect Complex, which protects skin from sun-induced ageing. It includes a combination of organic UV filters to protect the skin and prevent the appearance of dark spots, alongside Organic Cocoa Extract for firmer and intensely hydrated skin, and vitamin E derivative to protect against free radicals and prevent the appearance of wrinkles. The brand’s new Youth-protecting Sunscreen Face comes in an SPF30 and SPF50, which are priced at £26. Their fine, melting texture has a comfortable dry feel and a matte finish. The Glowing Sun Body Oil in SPF 30 and Sun Spray Body Lotion in SPF50, priced at £28, offer high protection with a lightweight, quickly absorbed texture and an invisible finish. So, get yourself honeymoon-ready at www.clarins.com A LITTLE LOVE TikTok just can’t stop talking about Lottie London, and one of my top viral favourites is the Twisted Heart Duo Lip Tint and Gloss. Small enough to pop into your bridal clutch bag, this is the ultimate lip-loving duo of gloss and colour leaving your lips glossy with a hint of pink. The innovative twist applicator with one side a deep rose lip tint, can even be used on cheeks too. The other side, a clear gloss, is infused with hyaluronic acid and argan oil to boost hydration. This wedding day must-have is priced at £6.95 and available at https://lottie.london or ASOS. C THE DIFFERENCE It’s important that we know our skincare ABCs when looking for ingredients to add to our routines. For example, vitamin C is enjoying its moment in the sun, and for good reason as it works to revitalise, boost and brighten dull skin, working its magic to accelerate the production of both collagen and elastin, protect against sun damage and signs of ageing, treat uneven skin tone and repair and rejuvenate to keep the skin hydrated, plump and firm. Skin Proud has your vitamin C skincare saviour at the ready in the shape of its Glow Dust Exfoliating Powder Cleanser. A gentle wateractivated micro exfoliating cleansing powder, it contains the skin-loving dream team of vitamin C, E and ferulic acid. Ideal for all skin types, it can be used in your AM routine, two to three times a week. £17, www.iamproud.com THE SCIENCE OF AYURVEDA Spa Ceylon has launched in the UK, bringing wellbeing rituals deeply rooted in the island’s rich culture, derived from royal relaxation, rejuvenation and healing rituals of ayurveda. The brand’s diverse product range includes all-natural wellness formulae for body, skin, hair and home. I love the De-Stress Wellness Trio, which allows you to experience the essence of a soothing de-stress. This trio of comforting and harmonising natural formulas is infused with ayurveda wonder herbs and potent essential oils to bring a sense of calm, even in the midst of wedding planning. So, immerse yourself in a holistic experience as the soothing blend of frankincense, sandalwood, tangerine and key lime work to alleviate stress and restore balance.
