The OUAI x Byredo Leave-In Conditioner Is Haircare At Its Most Chic

Beauty

Plus, six more beauty launches happening this week.

July 30, 2021

Ouai

Jen Atkin’s haircare, body & fragrance brand OUAI is the epitome of cool. Atkin is hairstylist to the stars, with a list of clients that includes the Kardashians, the Hadids, Chrissy Teigen, and Jennifer Lopez. In 2020, the New York Times named her “the most influential hair stylist in the world.” She’s also written a book and developed a makeup line with e.l.f. In short, anything Atkin creates is an instant must-have.

But Atkin reached new levels of chic last year when OUAI teamed out with Byredo, the fragrance brand by Ben Gorham that graces the dressing tables of the world’s most stylish women (think Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Sienna Miller). And now, following on the launch of their dry shampoo, OUAI and Byredo are bringing out a leave-in conditioner in a move that Elle is calling “2021’s coolest collab.”

As well as this much-talked-about leave in conditioner (which you must buy simply for the Instagram prestige, if for nothing else), there are six other brilliant beauty buys this week that are deserving of attention. First, Fenty has brought us a new Gloss Bomb hue that’s ideal for hot summer nights. Also in makeup is Urban Decay’s latest Naked palette offering and KVD’s 15 shade-strong lipstick line.

Plus there are some brilliant new skincare, body, and home fragrance options out from Garnier, Frank Body, and new brand Never Go Alone, respectively. Keep reading to find out the details.

OUAI x BYREDO Leave In Conditioner

Cult Beauty

This 2-in-1 product works as both a hair perfume and a leave-in conditioner. It can be used on wet or dry hair and promises smoother, silkier locks thanks to its vitamin E, amino acids, and strengthening proteins. The scent is Byredo’s Mojave Ghost, which is a lovely luxurious scent with notes of ambrette, magnolia, and sandalwood.

Garnier SkinActive Vitamin C Ampoule Sheet Mask Pineapple

Boots

The great thing about sheet masking is that you don’t have to spend a load of cash to get a good one; in fact, you can pick one up for under a fiver in Boots and still get great results. Garnier’s new ampoule sheet masks combine the goodness of a potent serum with the ritual of masking. Their vitamin C option uses brightening pineapple extract to target dullness.

Glide'n'Go Body Oil Stick

Frank Body

Sometimes putting on moisturiser after a shower or bath can feel like an absolute chore. This is where Frank Body’s newest creation comes in; the oil stick can be applied with total ease even on the laziest of evenings. It’s made with avocado oil, rosehip oil, Davidson Plum, and guarana to energise, as well as trusty shea butter to deeply hydrate. This is a great buy to chuck in a gym bag for post-workout showers, too!

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Heat Lip Luminzer and Plumper

Boots

If you love a Gloss Bomb gloss (Fenty’s most iconic lip product), you’ll be buzzing to know that there’s a new shade in town — and it’s *the* colour for hot summer nights. The gorgeous bold red hue will suit every skin tone, and the product comes with the same non-sticky, nourishing formula as all the other Gloss Bomb iterations so far.

Candle Edition 01: Sandstone

Never Go Alone

Most of Never Go Alone’s debut collection is still under wraps but this candle is already available to buy and sounds like an absolute dream purchase. Not only is the scent said to be warm and earthy, but the gorgeous packaging has been developed with colour therapy in mind, meaning calm vibes all round.

Urban Decay Mini Naked 3 Palette

Cult Beauty

Makeup lovers can’t get enough of Urban Decay Naked palettes — and for good reason. Their mini palettes are a great way to get the look without spending £40+, and the latest one is perhaps one of their best offerings. It features six all-new rosy hues that come in mattes and shimmers, depending on how you like to blend your eyeshadow look.

KVD Beauty Epic Kiss Lipstick

Feel Unique

KVD Beauty has just unveiled its huge new lipstick offering, with shades for all styles. It’s been designed to provide both high pigment colour and hydration with its balmy texture that won’t dry out lips. The lipstick comes in 15 shades.
