Beauty News April – Kiko Wears Green and Blue
We’re sure that you’ve noticed it already on the shelves, but recently the green revolution has hit Kiko with a makeup and skincare collection that promotes natural ingredients and respect for the environment (also using recycled materials and ecological paper with organic residues of coffee and citrus).
Among the organic ingredients, we find the Jojoba oil, Argan oil, and Shea butter, as well as olive oil (present, for example, in the Vegan Soap) and the cottonseed oil, used to enrich the formula of the Vegan bronzer. A collection that, both makeup and skincare-wise, relies on 100% natural and beneficial formulas, enhancing a natural kind of beauty without affecting the performance and quality of the brand.
Kiko has also recently launched its Ocean Feel line, a complete range of makeup products for eyes, lips, and face enriched with seaweed extract from sustainable sources, to help in a sensibilization campaign focused on the environment and to ease the burden of our Planet’s already largely polluted Oceans and Seas, plagued by non-sustainable plastic waste and contaminating elements. The formula helps to protect and nourish the skin also with the upcoming summer heat, matching popping colors and summer vibes with skincare that has a light texture and high SPF.
Beauty News April – Pat McGrath lands in Europe
Big news for all the beauty addicts in Europe! Starting April 4th, it will no longer be necessary to cross the ocean to get your hands on Pat McGrath products. Yes, because the “Motherhood” campaign (which will last as long as three months) to welcome “Mother” home has already begun at Selfridges, London: the event marks the beginning of the “homecoming” of the British editor and makeup artist, whose award-winning cosmetic line was, for now, available solely in the States.
For now, London seems to be Pat McGrath Labs’ first step towards Europe but… Who knows? And after all, it’s always more “reachable” than New York.

Yara also stated that she’s closely familiar with the brand and that this was a “natural step” for her. In fact, Bobbi Brown was always able to meet the skin tone and needs of women in her family: a task that wasn’t easy in the past for deeper shades, but the brand has always strived towards inclusion, adding ten new shades of foundation. Alongside the new role as brand ambassador, Yara will continue with her involvement as an activist and her academic career at Harvard.

Beauty News April – Dr. Jart + launches the Peptidin Line
From the South Korean expertise and the constant research of Dr. Jart +, the new Peptidin line is composed of two new serums capable of rejuvenating tired, dull skin, stressed by pollution, fine dust, and a challenging routine.
The first product has a formula that changes from watery to oily, nourishing thoroughly without being heavy on the skin: Peptidin Radiance Serum.
Thanks to the Energy Peptides and the peach blossom extract, this serum boosts the skin brightness and is going to revolutionize a skin that appears tired, making it more radiant and plump, with an immediately recognizable effect.
The second one is called the Peptidin Firming Serum, a firming product that renews the appearance of the skin, also thanks to the presence of Energetic Peptides. This serum gives new vigor and new life to the skin thanks to the “Complex of 8 Peptides” that improves firmness, making it plump and smoother. In the meantime, the starflower extract makes it more firm, giving new life to a stressed face.

It is ideal for touch-ups during the day, when you need to freshen up your makeup quickly. The mix of optical pearls in the formula creates a transparent, luminous and radiant finish.
But the peak of the collection is the brand new 22 tones of the waterproof Liquid Corrector Double Wear Makeup, which enriches the performance of the Estée Lauder must-have foundation (available in 50 shades).

Beauty News April – New Elie Saab fragrance: Girls Of Now Forever
Perfume masters Sophie Labbé and Dominique Ropion created a new fragrance for Elie Saab, Girl of Now Forever, which is characterized by its joie de vivre, a sense of vivacity with a splash of freshness inspired by summer and Ibiza.
Once again, the fragrance is unique thanks to the exclusive flower of Ormond, with its notes of almond-orange, combined with the original notes of Rosa Cassia, a never-seen-before co-distilled rose-currant, matched with Lebanese lemon (an homage to the designer’s origins), patchouli and vanilla. The product presents a new story, filled with color and freshness, and that sees the trio of the “Girls of Now” (Hannah Ferguson, Kristine Froseth, and Jasmine Daniels) on a luxurious and fun vacation in Ibiza.
The Pantone of the year 2019, Coral, paints the glass bottle making it more pop and pretty than ever while keeping the signature Haute Couture spirit of the brand.
The perfect summer fragrance.
