This month, we’re introducing our favourite newly launched products to add to your beauty arsenal. From your holy grail must-haves to the industry’s latest and greatest, explore our roundup of everything you’ve wanted to try, and other things you never knew you needed… until now.

Hot summer days are properly setting in, and whether you love or loathe the heat, a beauty switch-up is in order. From swapping in breezier skincare to adding a gentle daily exfoliant in the shower, or experimenting with new colours for the season; here’s our definitive list of our top shelf products this June.

Wildsmith

New kid on the block in the beauty department is Wildsmith, the British skincare brand focused on delivering high performance products using clinically proven bioactive plant ingredients. Developed in England and making its Hong Kong debut now, Wildsmith is the first on the market that is all about radical botany and a targeted delivery system. A favourite back in its hometown, and now here, the Active Repair Platinum Booster encapsulates oxygen which is the key ingredient that helps with the metabolic process of collagen productivity and healing purposes. The platinum delivery system uses a powerful peptide that penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin which produces elastin too. This booster is great for days when feeling dehydrated or tired, as it pumps and plumps the skin with hydration for an instant surge of nutrients to the skin.
HK$1,720/30ml

Valmont Microbiome Series

Microbiome science is the biggest thing in skincare since hyaluronic acid. Valmont’s new Primary collection has been formulated around pre- and probiotics to promote the balance of the skin’s ecosystem. Using “friendly” skin-nurturing bacteria, the skin is fuelled with nutrients that promote cell development which leads to rejuvenated skin. The collection includes an Initial Prepping Mist, Targeted Blemish Treatment, Initial Anti-redness Repairing Serum, Initial Shooting Cream and a Rich Replenishing Balm. Our go-to is the Prepping Mist, a spray that is suitable for all skin types and can be used throughout the day (pre, during and post-makeup). The result is a feeling of instant refresh, thanks to its formulation which promotes balance in the hydrolipidic film on the skin and intercellular cement to trap hydration within the skin.
Primary Veil (Initial Prepping Mist) HK$880/150ml
Primary Solution (Targeted Blemish Treatment) HK$1,380/20ml
Primary Serum (Initial Anti-redness Repairing Serum) HK$1,540/30ml
Primary Cream (Initial Soothing Cream) HK$1,500/50ml
Primary Promade (Rich Replenishing Balm) HK$1,980/50ml

L'Occitane Shampoo & Conditioner

The worst hair season is upon us. Weighted down and clumped up by humidity, good hair days seem like a distant memory and are now months away. Though we are still on the lifelong quest to find that miracle product, L’Occitane’s Almond Shampoo and Conditioner doesn't do too badly. In fact, it is one of our most recent favourites. The scent is fresh, it cleanses the hair and scalp while leaving a sense of light and airy freshness, and most importantly, leaves the hair easy to comb either wet or dry. The almond oil component is a natural hair detangler, making fried and frizzled hair smoother and easier to manage.
Almond Shampoo HK$180/240ml
Almond Conditioner HK$190/240ml

La Prairie Concealer

Another product straight out of the Skin Caviar Complexion Lab Atelier (where all the caviar magic happens at La Prairie) is new Skin Caviar Perfect Concealer. Infused with caviar water and caviar extract for its lifting and firming properties, the serum-based formula nourishes the skin while offering the right amount of coverage. It comes with two interchangeable applicators – a cooling metal tip ring for a light massage to rid under-eye puffiness and a round-edge brush that can conceal by reaching all surfaces from any angle.
HK$1,470/6ml

Dior Hydra Life Matte Dew Hydration Sorbet Droplet Emulsion

To beat the summer heat, hydration is key. Dior’s answer is a concoction that combines three key actions for healthy, plump skin: hydration boost, mattifying finish and deep treatment. Using its Nobel-winning discovery of Aquaprins, Dior Science has extracted the essential proteins in Anjou to help play the role of “channels” in the skin, enabling water to circulate fluidly from one cell to another. Freshen up anytime of the day with velvety formula which not only delivers hydration, but absorbs excess sebum to keep oil and shine at bay.
HK$550/50ml

Clarins Everlasting Youth Fluid Foundation SPF15 / PA+++

Clarins’ best-selling Extra-Firming Cream has pretty much claimed top-shelf status since its launch two years back. Using the formula as a base, Clarins has developed a foundation to go with it, the Everlasting Youth Fluid Foundation SPF15/PA+++. Fortified with plant extracts such as chicory and red jania to tighten and lift, the foundation acts as part makeup and part skincare. The pink pear particles and soft-focus powders also help to create a luminous veil that is said to last all day even in the sun. Under extreme and unforgiving sunlight, dark spots and imperfections can also be concealed and blurred while the anti-pollution complex protects against environmental stressors.
HK$380/30ml

Benefit California Kissin' Colour Balm

We have been shielded behind our surgical masks for some time now, but with restrictions finally loosening up we can finally (or at least, begin to) revert back to the good old days. Fulfilling the need for hydration and colour this season, Benefit's new lip balm comes in a burst of 12 vibrant shades for summer fun. Extremely lightweight and hydrating thanks to loofah seed oil, the lips are nourished and hydrated for hours. One layer gives a natural-looking sheen, but when layered, can appear to be almost as pigmented as lipstick itself (without the drying effect). Personally, I’m enjoying the berry tone that adds a touch of colour while still appearing very natural and light.
HK$190/10g

Aveda Cherry Almond Body Scrub

There’s no getting around sweat and grime in the peak of summer and with that, exfoliation needs to be thorough and frequent. Aveda’s new Cherry Almond Body Scrub is the shower essential for these long, hot days. It does its job by removing dead skin cells while conditioning, smoothing and softening the skin. A mixture of fruity and floral sweetness, the playful aroma is a bright and fresh scent that’s very season-appropriate. What’s more, it uses 38 pure flower and plant essences and is cruelty-free, so you’re doing something good for the environment and your own wellbeing all at the same time.
HK$$340/200ml

What once was taboo is now the recommended skincare cleanser. With that, we take a look at the best facial bars for every type of skin.

There was a time when using the same bar of body soap on your face was a thing. But as we now know, different areas of the skin require very distinctive attention. Consequently, bar soaps were blacklisted from our skincare regime for its harsh detergent constituents and skin drying factors.

Since then, beauty brands have realised that it isn’t the bar itself that is the culprit, but the formulation. Thus began the reintroduction of bar soaps in our routine. Easy to travel with (no spillage), keeping well over time, and environmentally friendly (reduced packaging), more and more are looking to our old ways for new results.

For those looking to switch up their cleansing game, we’ve rounded up the best facial bar soaps for every skin type.

Chanel Sublimage Radiance-Revealing Rich Cleansing Soap

Best for: Mature Skin

[caption id="attachment_207359" align="alignnone" width="2075"] HK$650[/caption]

As the name implies, Chanel’s Radiance Revealing Rich Cleansing Soap is a luxuriously indulgent product. The bar is composed of vanilla flower extract with highly potent antioxidant properties and shea butter for intense hydration. The bar lathers up to produce a gorgeous silky foam that cleanses and purifies to reveal illuminated skin. The beautiful carved soap also comes with its very own soap dish.

Drunk Elephant Juju Bar

Best for: Sensitive Skin

[caption id="attachment_207362" align="alignnone" width="2072"] HK$220[/caption]

Drunk Elephant has earned a very loyal cult following for its natural products and creative packaging. One of two of the brand’s facial bar soaps is the Juju Bar – a low pH level formula (unlike other soaps with detergent components) which gives you squeaky clean skin without stripping away the hydration. The subtle exfoliation is countered with healing elements to refine the skin’s texture without the feeling of tightness afterwards. Free of fragrance, essential oils, dyes, colourants and irritants, it is suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

Fresh Umbrian Clay Treatment Bar

Best for: Oily Skin

[caption id="attachment_207361" align="alignnone" width="2075"] HK$350[/caption]

For when washing your face still isn’t clean enough, it's Fresh’s Umbrian Clay Treatment Bar to the rescue. Offering a very deep and thorough cleanse, the Umbrian clay extracts impurities from within the pores. Great for oily or acne-prone skin in the summer, it ensures that all skin slough is flushed out. To complement the clay, ingredients like cranberry, bamboo and bitter orange work together for a full exfoliation. Once a week, work up a lather, and leave on for 10 minutes as a clarifying mask. Dull skin is now renewed.

Sisley Botanical Soapless Facial Cleansing Bar

Best for: Combination Skin

[caption id="attachment_207363" align="alignnone" width="2073"] HK$360[/caption]

Naturally purifying and gentle to skin, Sisley’s Botanical Cleansing Bar leaves skin with a smooth, matte finish and radiant complexion. Enriched with calendula and tropical resins (incense, myrrh and benzoin), it forms a fine-textured creamy lather that washes off for an instant sensation of freshness. A magnet for makeup and dirt, it isolates and removes all impurities from the skin on your face.

Sulwhasoo Herbal Soap

Best for: Normal to Dry Skin

[caption id="attachment_207360" align="alignnone" width="2075"] HK$340[/caption]

Extracting the beauty properties of Korean medicinal herbs (like red ginseng for anti-oxidisation, Chinese peony for healing, and Solomon’s seal and anti-inflammation), Sulwhasoo’s Herbal Soap cleanses the skin while nourishing it too. Using a 40-day ageing process to lock in all the goodness of the ingredients, the Herbal Soap is packed nutrients and most importantly supports the skin’s moisture barrier to lock in all the goodness. A special bonus if you enjoy the refreshing zingy scent of ginseng.

With extra-delicate skin, and problems such as puffiness and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, eyes need the tender loving care of specially formulated skincare.

The History of Whoo Hwanyu Imperial Youth Eye Cream

Featuring plum blossom as a key ingredient, Sulwhasoo’s lightweight and cooling Bloomstay Vitalizing Eye Cream tackles dark circles, puffiness and fine lines for fresher, brighter-looking peepers. The flower boasts potent antioxidant benefits, and an ability to protect skin from oxidative damage and restore vitality. Additionally, a precious Five Fruits and Seeds Complex offers an anti-glycation effect to protect collagen fibres from stiffening, so skin elasticity is maintained.

Tom Ford Eye Repair Concentrate

Jump-start tired-looking skin in the eye area while helping it to absorb and retain moisture with Tom Ford’s Eye Repair Concentrate. Dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested, its key ingredients include white porcelain cacao, caffeine, gyokuro, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C that reinforce skin’s barrier, and deliver immediate and sustained hydration. The luxurious, highly potent serum absorbs instantly into skin and is suitable for all skin types and contact lens wearers.

La Prairie White Caviar Eye Extraordinaire

[caption id="attachment_206895" align="alignnone" width="1600"] (Image: La Prairie)[/caption]

Skin’s colour is made up of naturally occurring pigments in various dermis layers. With age, the amount of these pigments increases which reduces the natural luminosity of the complexion, leading to skin that appears older than

it really is. La Prairie’s White Caviar Eye Extraordinaire is enhanced with proprietary Golden Caviar Extract and Exclusive Cellular Complex to target the colour disturbances that dull the skin, while helping it to deal with the

loss of elasticity in the area around peepers. It also comes with a rotating ceramic pearl massager to improve lymphatic drainage and stimulate microcirculation.

Guerlain Abeille Royale Eye Cream

[caption id="attachment_206896" align="alignnone" width="1600"] (Image: Guerlain)[/caption]

The relaunched Abeille Royale Eye Cream by Guerlain benefits from the reparative Blackbee Repair Technology that combines honeys from Ouessant Island, Corsica and New Zealand, and a Guerlain-exclusive royal jelly, which targets micro tears and micro lesions to fight and prevent wrinkles, and loss of firmness and elasticity.

The post New In: The 7 Most Exciting Beauty Launches of May 2020 appeared first on Prestige Online - Hong Kong.

Francisco Costa has always been a trailblazer. During 13 years as creative director of womenswear at Calvin Klein, the Brazilian designer defined the minimalist aesthetic that swept the fashion world in the early 2000s. And long before sustainability was all the rage, he produced collections from dead-stock yarn and clothing that could transform into flat objects to take up less space for shipping and reduce carbon footprints.

Shortly before leaving Calvin Klein in 2016, the art enthusiast was inspired by Piero Manzoni’s Merde d’Artiste (Artist’s Shit) collection of 90 tin cans with simple labels and – supposedly – each containing 30 grams of faeces to create a beauty-packaging concept. Those initial ideas soon evolved into a concept that would become Costa Brazil, a clean luxury beauty line launched in December 2018 and newly available in Hong Kong.

“I wanted to create something unique with strong Brazilian DNA, focusing on the purest indigenous ingredients found in the Amazon and creating a unique balance between nature, beauty and conservation,” Costa says. “Growing up in Brazil gave me an inherent appreciation of nature and an understanding of the beauty of simplicity. In Brazil we celebrate ease, happiness. We embrace the sensual rather than the sexual. In Rio, there’s a way of greeting people: ‘E ai, belleza?’, which means ‘Is everything beautiful?’

[caption id="attachment_205173" align="alignnone" width="1000"] Francisco Costa[/caption]

“I went back to Brazil while in the early development stages of the brand and took my first – of many – trips into the Amazon. This is where everything clicked; the delicate and perfect harmony of nature and the Earth as the essence of beauty.”

In fact, Costa felt drawn to the Amazon as soon as he left Calvin Klein. In the rainforest he learnt about native ingredients and traditional healing rituals. He met members of the Yawanawá tribe, explored open-air markets in Belem do Pará, and worked with chemists and botanists at a small laboratory in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. All of this led to Costa and his team discovering the “exclusive beauty trinity” that now powers every product in his concise collection.
“I had a very distinct brand concept, which changed as soon as we discovered the three ingredients that make up our Jungle Complex, two of which have never been brought to market for skincare or cosmetic use,” Costa says.

The first ingredient he discovered – which is still his favourite – was breu, an aromatic resin taken from the almacega tree and considered sacred by the Yawanawá tribe. “It’s unlike anything you’ll ever smell or experience,” says Costa, who suggests burning raw chunks of breu to enhance peace of mind, balance the sixth chakra and reinstate harmony to a room.

[caption id="attachment_205174" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Ritual De Purficação is a breathing ritual designed to lift spirits and enhance moods.[/caption]

While breu provides Costa Brazil’s products with their captivating fragrance, kaya and cacay provide a range of potent skincare benefits. Kaya, a powerful antioxidant harvested exclusively for the brand from sapucaia trees, has long been considered a superfood in South America for its blend of essential fatty acids and rich vitamin content. It’s also the key ingredient in Kaya Anti-Aging Face Oil and Kaya Jungle Firming Body Oil, which both work to boost skin hydration, texture, firmness and radiance.

Cacay, meanwhile, is a vitamin-rich oil and natural source of retinol that reduces the appearance of ageing, fine lines and other environmental stressors. It also provides much of the hydration in Costa Brazil’s Body Cream along with murumuru butter and Brazil-nut and tucuma-seed oils.
In keeping with the founder’s philosophy that “the spirit of beauty is inseparable from the health of the Earth”, most ingredients are wild-harvested to ensure no trees are cut down in the process, and packaging is made with sustainable, recycled and biodegradable materials whenever possible. All Costa Brazil products are also vegan and free of parabens, phthalates, PEGs, silicones, sulphates, gluten, glycols, mineral oil and artificial colourants.

The brand is certainly a far cry from where it started, with Costa’s ruminations on Manzoni’s Merde d’Artiste, and it appears this is only the beginning. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see the impact we’re already having – there’s a community in the eastern Amazon that now works full- time to harvest cacay plants for us,” Costa says.

“I seek to create a business with longevity, a feeling of slow luxury. I take my time to consider each element, and if it means delaying a product launch to make sure we can trace the origins and sourcing methods of our ingredients, or find the perfect custom packaging that’s both beautiful, functional and inherently good for the Earth, then I know I’m doing my job. There’s a wealth of natural ingredients that have yet to be tested and unearthed; we’ll see how we can continue to create impactful products that benefit the local communities, while maintaining the Earth’s abundance.”

Gucci has been upping its beauty game in the past few seasons, so it comes as no surprise that creative director Alessandro Michele is presenting a new product for spring. The Mascara L’Obscur sets itself apart from other formulas with its flexible elastomer brush. The design features a thin brush tip ensuring ultimate comfort and ease of application, catching the smallest of lashes and separating each lash to prevent clumping. The ultra-rich texture coats each lash to thicken and intensify without smudging, flaking, or feathering.

The post These Are the 10 Beauty Products for Brighter Skin This Spring appeared first on Prestige Online - Hong Kong.

Working from home has its pros and cons. While you’re stuck in a confined space and surrounded by a hundred different distractions, at least the most practical advantage is that you can now use the time to step up your skincare and beauty game. Take this opportunity to try out the beauty products you’ve been wanting to use, but haven’t gotten around to yet. So yes, apply that face mask and give your skin the love and attention it deserves. And since no one can see you... let your skin soak up all the goodness, while you work. To inspire a little face mask magic, we've gathered only the best to help you hydrate, brighten, tighten, and keep your skin looking flawless. Now all you have to do is to make sure you clear your calendar of all video calls.

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask 

Sure, it's a sleeping mask, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it throughout the day and allow it to soak in like you would if you were asleep. The Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask is mixed with rosewater and rose extract which hydrates, smoothes, and helps strengthen the skin’s barrier. Hyaluronic acid is also added to enhance suppleness with a plumping effect. It also smells like a fresh bouquet too.

HK$450/70ml

Dr. Barbra Sturm Face Mask

Seemingly simple in both packaging and name, the Dr. Barbara Sturm Face Mask is the molecular formula worth investing in. The product gives your skin an instant moisture boost with ingredients such as aloe vera and chamomile extracts to calm the skin. Meanwhile, kaolin clay leaves the complexion supple, while nourishing sweet almond oil and soothing purslane (which has demonstrated powerful anti-inflammatory, anti- bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties) are added to reduce the visible signs of irritation and redness. 

HK$965/50ml

Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Mask

Just as it indicates on the packaging, the Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Mask is a Multi-Hyaluronic Treatment, meaning that 1,000 sizes of different hyaluronic acid particles are used to help rejuvenate and replenish lost moisture. This mask is a solid solution for dry, dehydrated skin or uneven skin tones. Use as a mask and apply a thick layer over the face and neck, leave for 15 to 20 minutes, before massaging the skin with warm water and rinsing thoroughly. Alternatively, use as an overnight treatment.HK$760/1 fl. oz

Drunk Elephant F-Balm

Looking for an extra shot of hydration to quench your skin’s thirst? Drunk Elephant’s F-Balm mask plumps and restores your skin with an electrolyte cocktail while strengthening the skin's barrier. It will keep you looking fresh -- almost as if you're on some normal schedule. 

HK$410/50ml

111Skin Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask

Anyone who has tired eyes (or eyes for that matter) knows that it's one of the first tell tale signs of 1) lack of sleep or 2) age. Enter the 111Skin’s Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask. The mask helps to combat fine lines, wrinkles, and dehydration around the eye area. It’s also packed with vitamins to help brighten darkness around, and a small amount of retinol to help to retexture the skin.

HK$1,150/8 pieces

Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask

For dull complexion or dry skin, Charlotte Tilbury’s Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask is here to the rescue. Infused with rich and rehydrating ingredients including shea butter, mango butter, peptides and avocado oil, this formulation is the simple answer to smoother skin in a short turn around time -- just 15 minutes is all it takes. The masks will leave your skin looking dewy and radiant. Plus you’ll have an easier time applying your makeup when the skin is in good condition, too.
