Your Herts and Beds Wedding - April/May 2021 (Issue 85)

BERRY NICE Natura Siberica has launched an affordable vegan-certified range of beauty products based exclusively on altai oblepikha berries, a rich source of vitamin C. From face masks to serums, the C-Berrica collection has it all. I like the sound of the Renewal Foaming Face Powder (£8.49), which foams gently when it meets water and cleanses your skin, helping to remove impurities and make-up residue. Plus, its BHA acids improve skin texture speeding up cell renewal and deep cleans pores. Discover the full collection at www.naturasiberica.co.uk Beauty Beauty editor Kelly Andrews shares her latest beauty must-haves for the bride to be Flawless and fabulous Cover, Conceal & Correct from Gary Cockerill Make Up Intelligence, offers a flawless face in one bottle. “Where do I sign up?” I find myself wondering! A multipurpose two-in-one liquid foundation and concealer, it’s easy to apply and melts into the skin for a soft dewy finish. It contains natural lime extract – an antioxidant that heals, protects and reduces stress, while stimulating and maintaining healthy skin. What’s more, it boasts colour-correcting pigments to balance out uneven skin tones, help discolouration and disguise unwanted blemishes and dark spots. Sounds like a bride’s make-up bag must-have to me. Priced at £42 it’s available at www.makeupintelligencegc.com BUZZ CLEAN AND CLEAR We all know about the barrage of environmental abuse our facial skin battles on a daily basis, but what about our scalps? They too are faced with the impact of sweat, pollution, and various styling products. Centred creative director Kieran Tudor says, “Good scalp health is crucial for strong, healthy, beautiful hair, yet it’s often overlooked when it comes to hair care regimes.” A deeply nourishing blend of olive, argan and hemp oils, Centred En-Root Scalp Treatment replenishes moisture to dry brittle hair, while exfoliating the scalp and removing product build up and dead skin cells. What’s more, the blend of rosemary and peppermint essential oils stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles maximising hair growth potential. Priced at £36 from www.wearecentred.com BLUSH AND BLEND Illamasqua is celebrating 2021 with the launch of 18 new vegan and cruelty-free professional brushes and three essential brush kits.
