The BD team road-test the latest beauty releases.
Guess GUESS 1981 – Steph
On Counter: May 1
What it is: A delicate, fresh and clean fragrance featuring notes of woody ambrette, jasmine petals, sweet pear, sandalwood and musk.
My experience: This scent provides a classic elegance – inspired by and staying true to the iconic heritage of the GUESS girl. I love that this offers a wave of sweet femininity while remaining clean and simple, which is perfect for everyday wear.
BABOR DOCTOR BABOR LIFTING CELLULAR BTX-Lift Serum – Georgie
On Counter: May 1
What it is: A roll-on serum that helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.
My experience: I’ve been using this serum on a daily basis because it is one of a few products I own that gives instant results. The product claims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles but it’s also fabulous at de-puffing the eyes of a morning. The roller ball applicator is cool and fresh on the skin and the serum sinks in nice and quickly. It’s fast become an integral part of my morning skincare routine and will continue to be so.
L’Oreal Paris Botanicals Fresh Care with Safflower Shampoo & Botanicals Fresh Care with Safflower Conditioner – Aja
On Counter: May 1
What it is: An eco-conscious shampoo and conditioner formulated with raw botanicals. The formula doesn't contain any parabens, silicones or colourants and is packaged in 100 per cent recycled PET helping to reduce impact on the environment.
My experience: L'oreal Paris' latest offering deeply hydrates and nourishes my dry hair, leaving it feeling silky smooth and healthy. Plus, the eco-friendly packaging is 100 per cent recyclable after use, making these products a hit for not only my hair but for the environment too!
Eco Tools Ultimate Concealer Duo – Caitlin
On Counter: May 1
What it is: A concealer brush duo that can be used together to cover and blend imperfections.
My experience: Double the brush and double the result. Both brushes do a great job of applying and blending concealer - I particularly like the Airbrush Concealer brush as its wide, dense head buffs in product for an even base.
NIVEA Creme Care Cleansing Lotion – Zoe
On Counter: May 1
What it is: A cleanser that gently yet deeply cleanses the skin to help remove skin impurities, and helps protect the skin’s natural moisture balance.
My experience: Following one use my skin felt clean and fresh, but still smooth and hydrated. Unlike many cleansers that dry the skin, the NIVEA Creme Care Cleansing Lotion left my sensitive still feeling hydrated and not tight. Plus, who can go past that signature NIVEA scent?
