Haus Labs by Lady Gaga

We were so excited when Lady Gaga announced the rebranding of her makeup brand, now known as Haus Labs. Clean beauty is the new motto, with products made with excellent quality and safe synthetic and natural sustainably sourced ingredients. Haus Labs comes out with exciting new products, like the Power Pigment Paint for your cheeks, lips, eyes, and body to let your creativity flow. It comes in 20 bold colours in matt or sheer shimmers. But they also provide Hybrid Lip Oils, Eyeliners in 18 colours, Gel-Powder Highlighter, Brow Pencils, Bronzer, and a Lip Crayon – everything you might need for your next makeup look. The brand with entirely new products launches on June 9.

Glow Recipe Pride Watermelon Glow

Our beloved Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Toner gets a new look this June. When every brand brings out their Pride Month products, from shoes to clothing to merchandise, Glow Recipe gives back to support the LGBTQ+ community with their limited-edition Pride Watermelon Glow PHA+BHA Pore-Tight Toner. This toner keeps visible pores out of sight, preps and plumps your skin with hydration and clears up your pores. 100% of the profits of the toner will be donated to an empowering LGBTQIA+ organisation! The limited-edition will be available on Cult Beauty.

Tatcha

Tatcha is already a massive name in the US and is best known for its unique rice, green tea and algae complex. The luxury skincare brand has finally arrived in the UK and has been available online on its UK site and Space NK since the 4th of May. But if an online shopping spree doesn’t sound good to you and you prefer a hands-on shopping experience, you don’t have to wait any longer. From the 9th of June on, you can get the Japanese inspired beauty brand in every Space NK shop.

Advocating for natural, gentle skincare, Glow Recipe aims to make this once Korean niche as accessible as possible. Founded by two skincare gurus Sarah Lee and Christine Chang (who share over 20 years of experience in the industry) they are bringing the SoKo glow right to your bathroom.

The skincare range contains natural ingredients such as banana, avocado, blueberry, papaya, plum, pineapple and watermelon to nourish the skin. And, if you look at the small print too (and get all sciency) you’ll find more skin-loving substances such as hyaluronic acid (which helps retain water in your skin) alpha hydroxyl acids (great for anti-aging), and retinol (which helps stimulate collagen) and that’s just the start of the list. There’s a reason that once you start using these products, you’re not going to want to change your skincare ever again.

Here are some products to add to your cart ASAP:

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops

Inspired by Korean makeup artists, this is the first non-cosmetic highlighter that uses skin-friendly ingredients to give you that enviable glow. Proving you don’t need makeup to achieve glassy skin, this product will instantly highlight skin while the vitamin-rich formula will hydrate at the same time.

‘Superfood’ has been a buzzword thrown around a lot over the past decade. To simplify the broad term, superfoods are simply—most commonly plant-based—foods that are full of nutrition and have positive health benefits that can help with specific issues one might be dealing with. Superfoods have been key ingredients in numerous cosmetics to gain all those health benefits in the form of skincare, haircare and supplements. Superfood cosmetics blur the lines between healing from the inside and treating from the outside.

1. Avocado

Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, £39

With claims that Avocado can improve skin elasticity, it’s no surprise to see this little superfood pop up in the form of eye cream. This hydrating cream is designed for all skin types—including sensitive skin—and is used to de-puff and brighten the under-eye area.

2. Blueberries

Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser, $34

This blueberry-infused gel is a natural antioxidant that is rich in vitamins. The gentle cleanser is a luxurious texture and can double as a makeup remover. Other benefits include fighting free radicals, hydrating your skin with hyaluronic acid and gently exfoliating away dead skin with active ingredients.

3. Turmeric

APTO Skincare Healing Face Mist, £5

Turmeric is one of the most popular spices due to its health benefits and strong anti-inflammatory properties. This facial spray can strengthen & soothe the skin. Amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants make this mist suitable for all skin types and are simply bursting with benefits.

4. Pomegranate

Pomegranate Superfood Brightening Eye Serum, £19

This juicy fruit is rich in antioxidants and can brighten the skin to give a more radiant glow. Raspberry seed oil is also infused in this rich serum to moisturise the skin with fatty acids. This serum is also vegan and is created using more natural ingredients.

5. Kale

Youth to The People Superfood Face Wash, $36

It’s hard to think of the word ‘superfood’ and not have a direct association with kale. This leafy green ingredient is packed with goodness, just like this gentle cleanser. Skincare by Hyram recently listed this product as one of his ultimate favourite cleansers, and we can see why. The ingredient list is simple, the benefits are undeniable and the product is cruelty free.

Sweet Chef

Finally, our last pick is Sweet Chef—sister brand to Glow Recipe— which is a brand that focuses on feeding your skin the most nutritious ingredients. A signature superfood is incorporated into each of their products (which range from serums to sheet masks & moisturisers). The cosmetics are enriched with ginger, kale, beetroot, and many other superfoods.

As interest in skincare has soared dramatically in the past few decades, so has the interest in specialised skincare tools, equipment and even storage systems. This is where the ‘skincare mini-fridge’ has been introduced to beauty lovers. As of late, social media has been full of photos of mini-fridges, specifically designed and used for storing serums, face-masks and jade rollers, among other products. But what benefits does it bring to the table and why do you need to invest in one? Here is Voir’s investigation into the skincare fridge.Companies like Makeup Fridge and Cosmetics Fridge have cornered the beauty side of the kitchen world, but this isn’t to say any mini-fridge from the homeware section of your local department the store won’t have a perfectly acceptable and up-to-scratch mini-fridge for your skincare products. Most tailored beauty fridges usually come with a compartment in the door which is especially handy for sheet masks, serum pouches, and other slim products. Also, with a couple of shelves in the main compartment, both smaller pots and jars, and larger serums and sprays are able to fit inside.

The benefits of keeping your products at a low temperature are no new thing, but it seemsthat only recently it has become trendy to care for the shelf-life of your skincare regime.Popular stores such as Urban Outfitters have started selling them as they have increased in popularity. Well-known and loved skincare brand Glow Recipe have also hopped on this trend and partnered with Makeup Fridge to bring a limited edition Glow Recipe Makeup Fridge which includes 3 glow recipe products and a bespoke fridge. This collaboration has proved so popular that it is currently sold out on their website.

Products with a natural ingredient list and Vitamin C specific items reap the most benefits from being stored in a cool area away from sunlight. A cool environment can help slow the growth of bacteria, meaning your products last longer and active ingredients are prevented from breaking down too quickly. Skincare appliances such as the jade roller and gua sha facial massage tool are also a good piece of kit to keep refrigerated. A cold roller will reduce puffiness and inflammation effectively, but also feel more luxurious and soothing, especially in the mornings where a cold surface can help wake you up. The same goes for eye creams and face masks. Usually prescribed acne medication will be recommended to be stored in a cool place too, so look out for doctor’s recommendations.Saying this, there is no need to store every single product in your new skincare fridge, and usually, there will be guidance and storage directions on each of your products individually. However, if you are looking to lengthen the storage life of your more active ingredient products, or looking for a spa-like treatment at home, a mini-fridge is a perfect way to do this.

Glamglow’s Dreamduo Overnight Transforming Treatment and Mudmasky’s Sleep Repair Renewal Nourishing Mask are both great overnight masks for all skin types. They focus on plumping, hydrating and nourishing the skin. The Mudmasky is a light, creamy texture and so may be even more effective for oily skin. Guerlain also have an overnight treatment suitable for all skin types. Their Midnight Secret promises to reduce puffiness and tiredness, so is perfect for troubled sleepers or night owls.

For older skin, there’s an array of overnight treatments which claim to keep wrinkles at bay. Filorga’s Sleep and Peel treatment attack fine lines and pigmentation in the skin, leaving your skin looking youthful and even in tone. Khiel’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate is also perfect for aged skin. The facial oil soothes and nourishes in the night, allowing you to wake up with more toned and radiant looking skin, with the additional benefit of a nearly completely natural ingredient base. If you want to splurge, Sarah Chapman and Estee Lauder both do luxurious overnight treatments. Chapman’s Skinesis Overnight Facial is a silky serum rich with vitamins, omega oils and antioxidants, giving instant results for dull and tired-looking skin. Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair reduces the look of key signs of ageing and promises immediate hydration

For drier skin types, Clinique’s popular Moisture Surge Overnight Mask intensely hydrates whilst you sleep, so you can wake up with replenished, nourished, healthy-looking skin. The Body Shop has a more affordable alternative with their Hemp Overnight Nourishing Rescue Mask at £18. Your skin will be softer and dewier, without oiliness or residue. Hemp seed oil is known for its nourishing and skin-restoring properties which will relieve dry skin of its tight feeling. For a similar price, Glow Recipe have an overnight face mask inspired by Korean skincare. Their Avocado Melt Sleeping Mask is a creamy formula packed with avocado to nourish and manuka honey to firm. However, for those with more oily skin, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask has a unique texture which clings to the skin and absorbs with speed but is still light enough to use throughout the day.

It’s important to give attention to your eyes and lips too, both of which can also be treated overnight. Laneige do a range of sleeping masks for both eyes and lips which hydrate, plump and depuff, so you wake up fresh-faced with well-rested and healthy-looking eyes and lips. Burt’s bees also do a very affordable moisturising lip mask which can be used at any time of day.

With all overnight products, you can lay back, let your skin do the work and wake up with results. It’s the ideal solution for hectic schedules: you can be running around all day, swipe on an overnight mask and leave people wondering how on earth you do it all and have flawless, radiant-looking skin at the same time!
