Beauty editor Kelly Andrews rounds up the latest must-haves BUZZ Beauty GLOW UP Ciaté London’s new Brazilian Glow Eye & Face Palette is the ultimate one-stop shop for bronzed complexion perfection. It’s my latest make-up bag must-have that I can’t leave the house without. I love the gorgeous glowboosting bronzer and tonal matte blusher that’s just my shade. There’s also a shimmering highlighter that allows your contours to catch the light in all the right places. What’s more, the selection of three eyeshadows allows you to effortlessly switch up your look from day to night. Best of all it’s100 per cent vegan and PETA approved cruelty free. £25, www.ciatelondon.com YOUR ANTI-CHAFE CHAMPION I’m a recent convert to the Megababe brand and a huge fan. Founded in 2017 by body acceptance advocate (and my new hero) Katie Sturino, the products address a variety of taboo body discomfort issues that many of us face but have thus far been largely ignored by the beauty industry. Now, this solution-based brand has launched a hero range at Boots. Given that I know of one bride in particular who’d have had a very different wedding day had she been able to get her hands on the Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick at the time, this is the champion I want to talk to you about. Quite simply, you can stop thigh chafe for good. The awardwinning formula creates a balm-like clear barrier that sits on top of the skin, allowing thighs that rub to glide smoothly against each other. Aloe, grapeseed oil and antioxidant rich vitamin E provides extra hydration for happy, healthy skin. There’s also a mini stick available, perfect to keep in your clutch bag on the big day for any required top ups. £12 (mini, £8), www.boots.com. Also check out www.cultbeauty.co.uk for even more of the range. HANDS-ON WELLNESS Industry newcomer, sustainable luxury skincare brand ROOAR has recently scooped the award for Best New Bodycare Product in the National and Organic Beauty Innovation Awards with its Deep Hydrating Hand Therapy Cream (£22). With a relaxing scent, the light texture quickly absorbs leaving no unwelcome greasy residue. The idea behind ROOAR is a range of products that invigorates the senses and supports wellbeing. Founder Sandra Chow has used what she’s learned over the last 15 years about organic, natural skincare; ageing; and eastern remedies to produce a brand that’s suitable for all skin types and won’t contribute to the use of synthetic chemicals.

The new range of beautiful gel polishes in an homage to the romance and elegance of wedding season. It features a capsule collection of five shades, ranging from ethereal pale pinks to creamy nudes, and shimmering hues that capture the essence of celebration. Meet Bouquet Toss, Glass of Fizz, Garter and Wedding Night. It wasn’t easy to decide which one to try first, but after much deliberation I opted for Wedding Night, a soft subtle shimmering apricot. Easy to apply it cures under UV or LED lamp in 30-60 seconds. I went straight on holiday wearing it and after being in and out of the pool and sea it was just as flawless as when it went on – three weeks later and it’s still going strong! £8.99 each, or £14.99 for duo packs, https://mylee.co.uk WELCOME BACK With over 100 years of beauty and heritage, Elizabeth Grant Skin Care, founded in Lonodn has been manufacturing in Toronto, Canada, for decades since. Now, the long-standing formulations have launched into the UK. The power of Torricelumn was discovered by Elizabeth back in 1948 after she sought a natural ingredient to heal wounds caused in a WWII bomb blast. The compound comes from a particular type of algae, with added vitamins, botanicals and anti-oxidants it’s the basis of the formula proven and loved today. Over the years Elizabeth Grant Skin Care has perfected the formula to help beauty aficionados target and improve the five main stages of ageing: wrinkles, firmness, hyperpigmentation and dullness.
