Wowder 

If the name didn’t already give it away, with this product you can expect a ‘wow’ experience. This finishing powder blurs your face beautifully and sets the make-up like a pro.  

If you’re not already using finishing powder in your routine, we strongly recommend you start as it levels up your make-up and can help control dewiness in a matter of seconds.  

If you are worried about that dreaded chalky film or afterglow that appears when taking photos then fear not, this product won’t do any of that.  

This is not a cakey or oily product but simply provides a light veil on the top of your makeup and is perfect to wear on its own for those more casual make up days.

The post The News We’ve All Been Waiting For: Glossier Has A New Home at Sephora appeared first on Voir Fashion.

For our readers who aren’t near the capitol fear not, there are rumours for more nationwide stores to follow so don’t worry you won’t be missing out on any of the action. 

In March, the bright lights of this new store will be welcoming in customers eager to get their hands on some unmissable beauty products. The store is set to have a huge range of products that will include over 140 brands that are exclusive to Sephora UK such as GXVE by Gwen Stephani, Ilia, Milk, Patrick Starr, and Make-up by Mario. 

This is a landmark moment for beauty fans across the country as they now have more accessibility to their favourite brands that exclusively deal with Sephora. Gone are the days of having to deal with the issues of importing their products from America and paying delivery as well as tax charges.  

Sephora has been available online for UK customers since October, but this new store opening is a major deal as it’s been 17 years since the beauty retailer closed its doors of their UK stores. Ever since then, we’ve been robbed of the chance to experience the Sephora aesthetic and purchase their products on home soil, but luckily that’s all changed now!  

The store will of course be wrapped in the iconic Sephora black and white stripes with florescent lighting in the interior, perfect to test out your new makeup buys.  

They have designed the new stores with Gen-Z in mind as Sephora is recognising how the influencing ladder is being turned upside down. The younger generation is extremely knowledgeable about the beauty industry and is now becoming a bigger influence on their mothers and peers than other groups who previously dominated the beauty space. 

The brand’s president Sylvie Moreau revealed that this new store is “Sephora 4.0, tailored to the UK market. We feel makeup is undeserved here in the UK, so there will be a focus on skincare as well as makeup.” 

They plan to create a world where everybody can have the opportunity to express, define and unleash their own extraordinary beauty.  

Sephora opening stores again in the UK is incredible, and we will be first in line on opening day to get some of our favourite beauty products.

Whether curly, coily or straight the struggle to tame your hair and get it to look just right is one known to most. More so in the late 1800s where there were very few hair products for naturally curly and coily hair. A recent Netflix series ‘Self Made’ tells the story of Madam C.J. Walker, who created a hair formula that took her from rags to the first female, self-made Millionaire. The hair formula was created to cater to curly and coily hair at a time when there were very few products that did.

Nearly a century and a Netflix binge of the series later, I wonder where the products are today and are they still the saving grace they once were?

Today the company still exists under the name Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture. In 2013 the Madam C.J. Walker enterprises were bought by Sundial brands which also owns similar brands like Nubian heritage and Shea moisture. This purchase was made after the approval of her great-granddaughter.

The agreement was the products had to honour Madam C.J. Walker’s legacy while still meeting the needs of consumers. As we know by now, Madam C.J. Walker’s original product line consisted of four signature products that were Temple Salve, Tetter Salve, Vegetable Shampoo, and Glossine. But today after much hair research the formula is not the same, but the products still aim to care and grow natural hair. The sundial company relaunched the brand first in 2016 and then again in 2019 offering new products like scalp restoring treatment, styling serum, texture definition cream, and moisturizing jelly shampoo.

Today the company serves all hair textures from straight to curly and everything in-between. With different collections for the different hair textures and an aim to diversify the hair care line, this is a step forward in bridging the divide between mainstream and ethnic hair brands.

The products are all exclusively available in Sephora at affordable prices. With products names like Good Vibes Impossibly Soft Balm-to-Oil Mask, Come Through Weightless Moisture Daily Foam Conditioner and Giving Lyfe Texture Refreshing Styling Spray, we see that the Madam C.J. legacy lives on into these products.

We have all heard of 15 seconds of fame. What about 15 seconds to fame; TikTok the App formally known as Musical.ly has managed to take brands from obscurity to viral brands. TikTok is a video-sharing app where users can create and share 15-second videos. Unlike the former, musical.ly, the app does not only focus on lip-syncing but also a variety of different content; anything from choreographed dances to makeup tutorials this and the popularity of the app has proved an asset to brands when it comes to product placement and promotion.

American clothing brand, Guess, has used the app to their benefit, creating the hashtag campaign. They asked popular TikTok users to post transformation videos of them going from dishevelled to glamorous (wearing Guess apparel). Due to the high number of followers these famous TikTok’ers had, many users copied the video idea and got the hashtag trending- a major boost in recognising the Guess brand.

Another brand that has come out even more popular than before, thanks to TikTok, is cosmetic brand, Too Faced. 6 years after the release of their ‘Lip injection extreme plumping lip gloss’, sales were rising, with the product selling out. They eventually found out that the product was going viral on TikTok after a challenge saw users showing off the plumping effects of the gloss with before and after videos. The company took advantage of this and encouraged TikTok influencers to show off their new mascara in the same way, and it definitely worked, generating 821 million views on their hashtag .

Many other brands are using TikTok to promote new products and campaigns, these include Fenty, Sephora and even American food chain, Chipotle. Elf Cosmetics even commissioned a song for their TikTok campaign, called Eyes, Lips, Face, (after the brand name’s acronym).

Using the power of TikTok influencers, the brand now has 3.8 billion (yes, BILLION) videos using their hashtag.

Charli D’Amelio, arguably the biggest thing to come out of TikTok, has graced our screens with her simple, yet flawless videos of her choreographed dances to songs no one had heard before. Users all over the app jumped on the trend and danced to unfamiliar songs.

Songs such as

• My Oh My- Camila Cabello

• Lottery- K Camp

• Say so- Doja Cat

• Candy- Doja Cat

• The Box- Roddy Ricch

• Roxanne- Arizona Zervas

Have been made more popular by their use in TikTok videos, many accompanied by a well-thought-out dance routine that influencers on the app made famous and got trending. Their catchy tune and relatable lyrics also make for great memes, giving videos more of a 2013 ‘vine’ vibe, which was also an app for short videos, often used for funny content (RIP Vine 2013-2017). These songs have made it onto top music charts in the UK, as well as the USA, due to their recognition and popularity on the app.

The app with over 500 million users mainly teenagers, has been a platform for creatives to display their talents as it is not limited to music. Although the main demographic is teenagers more and more adults seem to enjoy the app making videos under popular hashtags. Considering the current world climate the TikTok app seems like a great way to release some creative energy indoors.
