Summer is finally upon us and with its return comes a season of celebrations. There are a handful of brands tried and true for getting us through party season – BD explores them below:
Hangovers be gone with this nifty pill that is designed to minimise the headaches and nausea associated with alcohol. The capsules contain a combination of vitamins B1 and B2, as well as Chinese herb pueraria lobata, amino acids, minerals and antioxidants to ease complaints.
A part of every stylist’s kit, fashion tape is a go-to for tricky garments that force you to forgo a bra. The double-sided body tape prevents wardrobe malfunctions but is designed to be gentle on skin and leave no residue.
Goldwell StyleSign
In the season of frizz and fly-aways, hairspray is a girl’s best friend. Goldwell’s texturised version provides maximum hold immediately, helping to shape and fix any hairdo.
The salt water and sunny rays that accompany summer tend to wreak havoc on hair. A treatment oil is an essential for revitalising dry and damaged locks – like the coconut water treatment from Natural World.
A signature scent is a must for any celebratory occasion. Shay & Blue is a brand renowned for its interesting perfumes – this Oud Alif is a rich, woody fragrance for women that houses heart notes of chocolate noir and saffron, with base notes of napa leather and patchouli.
La Roche-Posay
For a pool party (or beachside soiree), traditional sunscreen has limited appeal thanks to its ability to turn the wearer a shade of white. The alternative? A sunscreen oil like the Anthelios Nutritive Oil SPF50 which nourishes and protects the body from UVB and UVA rays at once.
Hair removal is at its height in warmer weather. For those who are time poor there’s a handful of in-shower hair removal creams that incorporate water-resistant formulas like Marzena’s offering. Formulated with aloe vera, vitamin E, wheatgerm and almond oils, the product also soothes and exfoliates the skin.
Multi-use dry oil Huile Prodigieuse is suitable for all manner of beauty complaints, from body to hair. Formulated with 97.8 naturally oriented ingredients, the product is enriched with vitamin E, as well as six precious plant oils of macadamia, hazelnut, borage, sweet almond, camellia, and St John’s wort.
The easiest way to achieve a streak-free golden glow is via a specially designed mitt that promises seamless application. 1000 Hour’s is designed with stretch polyester backing to allow for easy application and complete control from its user.
Long-lasting tans are also of utmost appeal in the summertime. The Vita Liberata pHenomenal 2-3 Week Self Tan Mousse (as its name suggests) is a three-week tanning mousse that lasts up to four times longer than regular self-tan and offers a natural-looking result that fades gradually.
