Rihanna Launches Fenty Beauty, a Global Makeup Brand, in 17 Countries

Rihanna, in partnership with Kendo Brands, a LVMH-owned beauty developer, launches her global makeup brand, Fenty Beauty, in an unprecedented 1,600 stores across 17 countries on one day. Beauty industry’s most anticipated launch, Fenty Beauty was created by Rihanna with a vision that’s always ahead of the game – Fenty Beauty redefines the rules with light-as-air formulas that love to be layered, in a global lineup of shades designed for all.

Rihanna was inspired to create Fenty Beauty after trying to find products that worked across all skin types and tones. With Rihanna’s mandate of inclusivity, Fenty Beauty offers a wide range of products for traditionally hard-to-match skin tones, creating formulas that work for all skin types, and pinpointing universal shades.

Just like Rihanna, the brand is both edgy and feminine, with a complexion-focused product assortment developed to work together and provide everyone with Rihanna’s real-life method for killer radiance, The Fenty Face. “The Fenty Face was created for women of all skin tones, of all personalities,” she says. “These steps are key to starting your makeup, no matter the look you’re going for. This is where the fun begins” For Rihanna, the secret to radiance lies in the very first step of the Fenty Face, a soft matte filt’r—because no matter your skin type, adding glow on glow = unwanted shine. The second step? Layer your highlight for strategically-placed glow—it’s all about lighting up where you want. Lastly, get ahead of shine by blotting on the fly, wherever and whenever; Rihanna believes that being photoready means being shine-free. Tested backstage, on stage, and in real life, The Fenty Face is the key to unlocking all of makeup’s limitless possibilities. This process is at the core of this 91-sku line, which includes 40 shades of Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation; 1 universal Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Primer; 30 magnetic Match Stix Skinsticks, in both matte and shimmer finishes to contour, correct, conceal, highlight and blush; 6 cream-powder hybrid Killawatt Freestyle Highlighters for face and eyes; Invisimatte Blotting Powder and Paper; 1 universal lip gloss known as Gloss Bomb; and a variety of application tools.

In addition to creating every detail of each product in her cosmetics collection, Rihanna also personally appointed three prestigious makeup artists to represent Fenty Beauty around the world. This Global Artistry Team includes James Kaliardos as Resident Artist, and Priscilla Ono and Hector Espinal as Global Makeup Artists.

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna is available at Sephora Middle East stores, and at, www.sephora.ae / FentyBeauty.com

ELIE SAAB launches Girl Of Now

ELIE SAAB fashion show, Paris
With its precious fabrics and magnetic silhouettes, the collection glides across the runway as a spellbound crowd looks on. In the front row or on the catwalk, people have eyes for her only. Her luminous aura captures the attention. Her boundless energy electrifies the room. Her radiant smile brings time to a halt. Girl of Now.

Cameras flash to capture her perfect look; definitely trendy, and yet so personal. She boldly grabs her girlfriends for some fun in front of the camera. One last selfie to immortalise this special moment and she’s already off, leaving a mysterious trail. Where is she going?

The city is hers. Life is hers. She’s as free as the wind – nothing can stop her…

THE FRAGRANCE

An elusive, beguiling blend. An utterly unique elixir that exudes all the facets of almond. It was a challenge worthy of Sophie Labbe and Dominique Ropion. two prodigious IFF perfumers who expressly concocted an absolutely addictive almond imprint steeped in ELIE SAAB’s olfactory signature: an irresistible Orange Blossom­ Patchouli accord.

Like the embroideries adorning the designer’s finest creations. Pear and Mandarin bring sparkle. Fresh-roasted Pistachio, inspired by Lebanon. reinforces the fragrant aroma of bitter Almond.

But the ultimate innovation of this scent is a flower created exclusively for Girl of Now: The Ormond Flower. Fine-cut like a dress. it gradually unveils its precious and gourmand facets thanks to an exclusive co-distillate: Orange Blossom Absolute and bitter Almond Essence.

Added to a bouquet of White Jasmine and Magnolia blossoms, the new flower has a boosting effect that amplifies the fragrance’s  radiance, joy and femininity.

Caressing Cashmeran . enchanting Tonka Bean and creamy Almond Milk make a rich, luxurious and warm base. while Patchouli prolongs the mysterious scent that lingers on the skin.

The couturier’s favourite scent. Orange Blossom Absolute, exudes its radiance and innate grace. When distilled with bitter Almond Essence, this white flower is enhanced with gourmand tones and a new sensuality. And the Ormond Flower is born!

 

Shiseido Future Solution LX

A deeper skincare experience: Perceiving Japanese richness through the five senses.

In an age of virtual reality and online life, many people consider a rich sensorial experience to be more important and more valuable than any luxurious possessions they could acquire. This point of view has long represented the Japanese aesthetic. Now, with the renewal of Shiseido Future Solution LX, the five senses are called upon to participate in the genuine, holistic human experience of richness in skincare.

Legends of nature become forces of skincare.

Since ancient times, Japanese people have been captivated by the invisible but obvious power that exists in every natural creation. Japanese legends portray this in the form of deities—the god of wind, the god of lightning, even spirits that live in trees. A spiritual connection with the forces of nature is a very real part of the fabric of Japanese life. It creates the sense of caring and respect for all living things that is inherent in Japanese culture. Every day one lives this way, one experiences more of the beauty of nature, and one’s inner life becomes more enriched.

A way of life that sparks a genuine radiance in a person. An energized form of beauty that comes through from within, and grows.

Future Solution LX is based on this Japanese concept of living, energetic beauty. Its technology breaks through previous limitations. The pleasure it offers transcends cultural boundaries, engaging the five senses in a revelatory experience of skincare. Using it makes a clearly perceivable difference. Future Solution LX brings out your skin’s inherent beauty, and stimulates its innate ability to improve itself. With time, skin keeps getting better and better. And the simple act of caring for your skin becomes a precious personal gift—a way to cherish your skin, and the radiant life force within it.

Treasuring your skin’s life force. Shiseido is constantly seeking out new skin care approaches.

For the new Future Solution LX, Shiseido tapped into a powerful factor in the richness of Japanese life—nature’s vital inner forces.

Future Solution LX features an advanced anti-aging technology, inspired by plant longevity research that reawakened the vital forces in a rare 350-year old tree, and got it to blossom again. Through the study of this re-energizing potential that exists in plant cells, Shiseido developed an anti-aging ingredient, SkingenecellEnmei.

An ancient botanical. A new source for skin’s energy.

Enmei herb Shiseido’s longevity research brought attention to the powers of Enmei herb, also known as Isodon Herb. This plant is well known in Japan for its health benefits.Enmei herb figures prominently in the familiar Japanese legend of Kukai, or Kobo Daishi, the Buddhist monk who offered a sick traveler the extract of Enmei herb, and helped him recover. With the help of a plant hunter, Shiseido acquired a master Enmei herb from the foot of Mt. Koya, where the Kukai legend was born. To assure a stable supply of the highest quality extract, offshoots of this master plant are carefully cultivated and nurtured under laboratory conditions in Shiseido’s company property. An extract of the cultivated plants has been paired with Skingenecell 1P and Vitamin C Ethyl II resulting in a more advanced and highly effective ingredient, SkingenecellEnmei.

Premium Green Tea Extract from Uji area of Kyoto Provides potent antioxidant effects and help prevent cellular damage caused by UV rays.

Hokkaido Angelica Root Extract from roots matured in the cold temperatures of Hokkaido reinforces the epidermis by promoting ATP production.

Oshima Sakura Leaf Extract from the leaves of Oshima cherry blossoms, found in Shizuoka reinforces the dermis by suppressing elastin breakdown.

The Beauty Longevity System

The Future Solution LX collection works as a holistic ritual, to encourage beautifully radiant skin that is fulfilled by the energy with which you cherish it. Beauty Longevity System is a beauty method to actively promote the

regeneration of beautiful skin cells and deliver skincare effects at a higher level. By supplying skin with SkingenecellEnmei day and night, you give skin the ability to achieve continuous improvement, as it defends and regenerates itself, assuring long-lasting beauty, into the future.

Clarins New Double Serum: The 8th Generation Edition

In 2017, the Double Serum story continues with this 8th generation edition. 2 serums in 1, has always been Double Serum’s unequalled claim since it was first formulated in 1985. It’s a feat that was made possible thanks to a pioneering double formula inspired by biomimicry. It combines the best water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients which target signs of ageing and help stimulate the skin’s 5 vital functions and decodes the language of youthful skin.

To stimulate the skin’s 5 vital functions, the new Double Serum ‘decodes’the skin’s youthful language by following the code [20 + 1].

Expression

Clarins Laboratories included 18 high-performing plant extracts that have a specific action on each of the skin’s vital functions and two plant-based ingredients with a targeted action. Double Serum brings these extracts together in one product thanks to its unique double formula.

Listening 

Clarins Laboratories selected the highest performing ingredient to protect the cells’ ‘listening system’ (lipid microdomains) and maintain cellular receptivity: turmeric extract is highly concentrated in turmerone, a bio-inspired vegetal discovery.

A new universal texture with a surprising sensoriality

The new Double Serum combines the richness of an oil (without any greasy residue) with the smoothness of an ultra-comfortable gel texture to immediately smooth the skin and promote an unequalled feeling of wellbeing. Both phases mix together at the last minute to offer an extraordinary feeling upon application, almost like a second skin.

A new, ‘intelligent’ double vial bottle

In 1996, 11 years after its creation, Double Serum introduced the irst double vial bottle which made it possible to bring together optimally concentrated ingredients soluble in oil and those in water. In 2017, the ‘revolution’ continues!
