Heal & Hydrate with Herbal Essentials

With sizzling temperatures on our doorstep this summer, preparation is key to ensuring our skin doesn’t suffer.  Going from air conditioned homes and offices to exhausting heat certainly doesn’t help matters either! Throw in perspiration to the mix and you need a skincare SOS – fast! Ultimately staying hydrated is the priority. We should be aiming to drink at least 2.5 litres of water per day, even if we don’t feel thirsty. Fruit and vegetables also have a high water content and so contribute to your daily intake too. Avoiding exposure to the sun between 12 noon and 4:00pm is also beneficial as this when the sun is most damaging to the skin. It goes without saying that SPF is a daily must-have and should be a part of your every day beauty regime, along with a targeted range of hydrating skincare.

Herbal Essentials brings you their top 3 ‘Herbal Heroes’ to make this summer a little kinder to your skin:

– Herbal Essentials Nutmeg & Sunflower Oil 24 Hour Cream – AED 189

Sunflower oil is rich in Vitamin E and packed with antioxidants that help improve the skin’s health.  It also protects against sun damage and fights against premature ageing that occurs when free-radicals are present in the body. This oil can also lighten dark spots, blemishes and stretch marks as well as having a host of antibacterial qualities that prevent acne, eczema and skin inflammation. Nutmeg is a rich oil with plenty of anti-inflammatory properties that treat breakouts and improve circulation levels. Clove is rich in minerals such as potassium, sodium, iron and Vitamins A and C. It also contains flavonoids that reduce skin inflammation and helps to treat acne and blemishes. All of these carefully selected ingredients are widely acknowledged for their rejuvenating properties and leave the skin feeling nourished and deeply hydrated all day and night.

Hyaluronic Acid is widely acclaimed for its nourishing properties and is known to give tired and dull looking skin a smooth and supple appearance. Aloe Vera contains a plethora of antioxidants including Vitamin C and E that can help improve the skin’s natural firmness and keep the skin hydrated. Honey’s ability to absorb and retain moisture make it an ideal ingredient in a lot of cosmetics as it helps keep skin hydrated and fresh and prevents drying. Honey’s natural antioxidant and anti-microbial properties also help to protect the skin from the damage of the sun’s rays, supports the skin’s ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin, leaving it feeling silky soft and supple. This Under Eye Gel can be applied day and night using the fingertips with gentle movements from the outer to the inner corner of the eye.

As sun protection, it slows the rate of skin damage experienced from UV light exposure, pollution and toxins.

Weill Autumn-Winter 2017 Collection

Weill is celebrating its 125th anniversary, and this longevity bears witness to the continued renewal and relevance of its designs. This year, more than ever, “Paris is Weill”! In the same way as its legendary headquarters set at the foot of the Butte Montmartre, and which have recently been renovated, the style of the House of Weill represents a perfect balance between timeless stature and tailored modernity. In an era which combines the satisfaction of requirements with an aspiration to happiness, the time is right this winter to adopt smart outfits combining flair and comfort, style and a sense of wellbeing.

In the forefront of style:

The intelligence of curved silhouettes and embracing floating volumes in which one feels at home. The present inspired by renewed and appealing alliances: casual meets couture in summer and winter, vivacious and subtle, lingerie becomes more enterprising… Elegance with a twist of cheerful accessories, trimmings and jewels, in which veiled references combine with a quirky sense of humour.

Inner Glamour: In which sensuality reigns: fine pyjamas, ravishing nightdresses, misty lace and soft silhouettes… A refined wardrobe of shimmering velvet, light crepe, ultra-feminine safari jackets and parkas, dressing gowns and house coats, tunics and twin-sets, composes a seductive panoply…

Jersey in a Shimmer: With panache and warmth jersey lends itself to a range of sophisticated looks. Adorned with giant chevrons and leopard motifs, light beading and ribbing, or a glint of lurex: small coats, ample slacks and tunics, three-quarter length coats, wrap dresses, and smart cowl-necked tops and blazers to keep warm.

Impressive Prints: Scarves are printed with equestrian motifs dispensing a graceful touch. Set on a plain, leopard or houndstooth background, in the lining of a trench coat or a black down jacket, combined with leather, jersey or silk, in a spruce jacket, on an ‘A’ shaped dress or a graceful twin-set… graphic-couture accents gracefully stand out.

Winter Sun: A light touch: a wardrobe which adapts to an increasingly changing climate. Winter (almost) unveiled as in warmer seasons, with satin poplin, feather-light raincoats, slim line slacks, ‘destroy’ blouses, sweat shirts or knitwear with highlights of bronze, slate, pearl and navy blue to blend in with autumn hues…

Happy Hour: When an enlightened spirit awakens the night: dark blue, ultra bright red or green, sequins, re-embroidered tulle, devoré velvet, radiant pleats, braided effects, rich Jacquard motifs, festive effects for loose fitting designs, knee-length dresses, pleated tops, slacks, ample tunics and short coats… prepare to liven up the evening.

Tweed is Trumps: The essentials in the Weill wardrobe come in a wide range of variations. Tweed with denim or ethnic patterns, jewelled or fluorescent trimmings, plain or with buckles, lined or unlined, short blazers or ample tunics, light dresses or duster coats, casual or tailored… a companion for every occasion.

Paris City: The city adopts a contemporary energy. Weill redefines the dress code of the modern Parisian woman: flannel, poplin and knitwear open up new perspectives. Simple delicate and asymmetrical lines inject a new spirit. A blouse adorned with buttons at the back, a long-tailed sweater or smock, a long sleeveless jacket, or a denim garment with Jacquard motif… brings a touch or originality.

Elective Affinities: Cedar and copper coloured hues create the event: combining to produce an intense elegance in knitwear with chevron motifs and on slacks, coats in Jacquard print, dresses and flounces… producing a palette of precious shimmering effects.

Gala Attitude: Wherever the red carpet is rolled out… a selection of long dresses… velvet stretch, shimmering pleats, guipure lace or taffeta, fur trimmings, balloon sleeves, sheaths or more fluid lines… are always eager to break into a dance step.

Naked Heat latest palette from Urban Decay

THE SKINNY: There’s neutral, and then there’s Naked. If you thought our Naked palettes were hot before, brace yourself—because our newest iteration is next level. Urban Decay introduces Naked Heat, our most sweltering Naked palette yet. Give in to the heat of the moment with 12 ALL-NEW, can’t-live-without, amber-hued neutrals—including warm browns, burnt oranges and rich siennas. From a super-smooth red-brown matte and a glimmering copper to a deep, shifty bronze, this palette has everything you need to create sultry daytime looks, intensely smoky nighttime looks and everything in between.

HYPE: The most shade-driven Naked palette we’ve ever done, this palette takes Naked in a whole new direction, building on the hysteria over shades like Bitter (a reddish-brown matte from Vice4) and Extra Bitter (a burnt orange matte from Naked Ultimate Basics). We’re completely hooked on the current cult-favorite neutrals: warm burnt reds, coppers, siennas and butterscotch. These shades look insanely flattering on any skin tone, and talk about HOT. We’re currently obsessed with En Fuego, a matte red, which looks amazing in the crease or on the lid. Ember is our go-to shade for the perfect warm smoky eye. We also can’t get enough of Scorched, a metallic deep red with gold micro-shimmer, and Dirty Talk, a really beautiful metallic burnt red.

BREAK IT DOWN: With a palette this hot, the packaging had to be perfect. Every single element speaks to the heat coming off this collection of shades, even down to how you open the box. The artwork on the case seems as if you’re looking through vertical blinds into a hot, steamy sunset. Designed like a matchbox, the box slides open to reveal the palette, and underneath, a graphic of 12 burned matches.

Naked Heat has everything you need, including a full-size mirror and a double-ended brush. We craft our palette brushes with the same care as our UD Pro Brushes. The performance is insane, and they’re some of our favorite tools. The Blending Brush is perfect for foolproof, seamless blending. Use the Detailed Crease Brush to get a precise application in the crease.

NICE PACKAGE: Every shade in Naked Heat features our Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives each shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power and blendability. Because with shades like these, you’ll want to blend the perfect sunset eye, and our formula makes it so easy to transition shades like a pro.

Naked Heat (AED 249)

The new Guerlain Eye-Stay Primer.

Say goodbye to drooping eyes after very late nights and back-to-back meetings. Adios to running eyeliner and eyeshadow that transfers to the upper eyelid. The solution is within reach! The new Guerlain Eye-Stay Primer.

Apply this eye primer before make-up and miracles happen: your cosmetics stay in place all day long and the eyes remain fresh and radiant. And there’s no need for touch-ups if you’re heading on to a dinner or night out – your make-up will be impeccable. Light pigments combined with smoothing, lifting active ingredients work as both an eye primer for flawless make-up and an active day cream to soften fine lines and minor blemishes. Its universal shade adapts to all skin tones.

A single application from the corner of the eye to the eyebrow will brighten and intensify the eyes. As a result, applied alone, the Eye-Stay Primer smoothes the eyelid, fills in irregularities and minor fine lines and evens skin colour for more open and rested eyes. Used as a clever base, it improves eye make-up hold throughout the day.
