Elie Saab/L'Oreal

Buying beautiful makeup that feels special and luxurious has traditionally been a pricey pursuit. Luckily over the years, designer collaborations with high street giants have not only brought us accessible ways to wear expensive labels in our wardrobes, but also on our faces. The latest to hit the shelves comes from one of the most impressive couture designers out there; Elie Saab’s L’Oréal collab.

The collection between the designer and the more affordable drugstore brand is making waves in beauty, both for its simply stunning packaging, and the gorgeous products themselves. While it’s marketed as a bridal collection, this is a range that will work for any occasion, whether you’re off to a fancy ‘do or just to drinks with mates.

Speaking about the line, Saab commented: “My passion has always been to make women feel beautiful and make-up has the ability to highlight everywoman’s natural beauty. As the finishing touch to a look or an accessible way into the world of couture, makeup allows every woman to experience a touch of ELIE SAAB magic.”

As well as this impressive edit, there is also plenty out this week to help you get your summer glow on ahead of schedule. Victoria Beckham Beauty is launching a chic bronzing brick, for example, while there are two new tanning formulas for your face out, and a radiant skin dew from VIEVE.

Read on to find out more about each new beauty product out this week.

L'Oreal Paris X Elie Saab Bridal Collection, Eyeshadow Palette

My fave from the collection, this stunning palette looks far pricier than it actually is. The hues are rich and luxurious, and the textures sound as though they are buttery soft. Plus, the packaging is completely divine. So here for it.

Matte Bronzing Brick

Victoria Beckham Beauty

Anything Victoria Beckham touches turns to gold, and her latest beauty offering is ready to change the game all over again. The matte bronzing palette features two hues which can be used alone or mixed together to add colour and contour cheeks. There are five shades to choose from, meaning an option for a range of skin tones.

Isle Of Paradise Night Glow

Isle Of Paradise has just launched two new gradual tanning sprays; one for the day time and another to wear overnight. This one looks most intriguing, and works to add a sunkissed glow as you sleep. It contains hyaluronic acid and moisture-locking glycerin which promise to nourish skin, and ylang ylang, jasmine, and lavender essential oils to help you relax and sleep.

Electro-Lite Energizing + Brightening Gel Cleanser

FaceGym is best known for their energising facial “workouts,” which are the perfect high energy alternatives to relaxing facials. The brand new FaceGym skincare line is not one to be missed too; I’m most excited to try this cleanser, which has a gel-to-foam texture and contains hydrating electrolytes which promise to liven your complexion and keep it perky.

Liquilust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick

With all the mask wearing, finding a matte lip formula that actually stays true has never been so essential. Pat McGrath’s new formula sounds as though it could be a winner; it promises a whipped texture and a “comfort matte” formula, which is both velvety and never drying. It also comes in some pretty stunning shades; this “Wild Orchid” hue is at the top of my list.

Jamie Genevieve’s newest creation promises to give you that ultimate summer glow as the weather begins to hot up. Skin Dew is a glossy golden hue, which can be used in a variety of ways; notably mixed in with a moisturiser or foundation, as well as as a targeted highlight. It also vows to suit all skin tones.

Sunshine & Sea HA + Vit D Aqua Tanning Serum

Tanning on the face can feel contradictory; while you want that glow, you also don’t want to strip skin or make it feel drier, which many formulas can do. Enter: Scientia’s new tanning serum, which not only adds colour and radiance, but also contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin D which should help to maintain healthy, hydrated skin, year-round.
