Your Sussex Wedding - August/September 2024 (Issue 110)

LIGHT AND SENSITIVITY For Elie Saab’s latest fragrance launch, Le Parfum Bridal, Mr Saab worked with Aurelien Guichard of Takasago House; Guichard was inspired by the iconic bridal dresses of the Couture House and based the fragrance bottle around the different layers of satin and lace used by the designer. This opulent, musky floral fragrance is composed of ylang-ylang and orange blossom notes, enveloped by Madagascan vanilla and ambroxan with ambrette for the ultimate sparkle. £49 (30ml), £70 (50ml), £95 (100ml). SLEEP ON IT After three years of research and countless hours of testing and development, the clever folk at Superfacialist have unveiled their latest innovation in the brand’s star-studded line up of skincare essentials. Powered by the revolutionary Resync SleepSmart Complex, these new Night Creams contain actives to optimise skin rejuvenation overnight when it’s most receptive to regeneration and repair. These formulations are designed to work in sync with your skin’s natural circadian rhythm, supporting it while you sleep, leaving you to wake up feeling radiant and refreshed. The range of Night Creams (£16-£20) offers a personalised solution for all skin types from dry and dehydrated to sensitive skin and signs of ageing. Check out www.superfacialist.co.uk JUST IN CASE We’ve all attempted to apply make-up on a dark morning, before racing out the door to work only to find the office’s strip lighting to be less than forgiving of our efforts. This is the inspiration behind the Beautifect Box, the hero product from which the brand grew. Founder Dr Tara Lalvani yearned for a product that would make it easier for her to apply her make-up on the go and envisioned something akin to the Beautifect Box we see today. With advanced lighting technology and sophisticated design, the luxury Beautifect Box offers a way of getting ready that truly elevates beauty routines. A 21st-century dressing table with smart storage solutions, the product relies on patented design and advanced lighting technology boasting a high Colour Rendering Index that allows you to see true-to-life colours and shades for flawless make-up application, any time of the day or night. £279, www.beautifect.com MIRROR, MIRROR All packed for honeymoon? Don’t forget the new EKO iMira Travel LED Mirror! It incorporates smart features in a convenient travel size with eight-inch mirror display providing high-definition reflection. The handy support stand is fully adjustable allowing you to find the perfect angle and doubles as a cover while you’re travelling. The full ring LED light simulates natural sunlight and boasts three brightness modes for full visibility even if your hotel room is a bit dim. Plus, rechargeable, it comes with a USB-C cable, so you no longer have to perform that annoying task of finding that perfect spot to apply your make-up when you arrive at your destination. £34.99, https://ekohome.co.uk HERE COMES THE SUN If you’re heading towards sunnier climes on honeymoon this summer, a good suncreen is a must.
