The Laser Beautique has just launched a Scientific Skincare range and we’re impressed. We particularly like this TLB Wake Up Serum, full of powerful antioxidants to fight and defend against free radicals, plus loads of Vit C, it moisturises, brightens, improves elasticity and is great for dehydrated skin. There’s a TBL Good Night Serum too (as well as loads of other products worth exploring). R1550 from the-laser-beautique.myshopify.com

What if red could talk. Would it shout wear me proudly, or whisper slip me on discreetly? Either way, this collection from Chanel works. Two oversized eyeshadow palettes with matte and satin shades (both include the wonderful matte sienna red shade), eyeliner in rose, nails in watermelon. Red rises to a crescendo on the lips with Rouge Allure Velvet in soft mauve beige, delicate dusty orange, deep sienna red, and iconic and bold dusty red. Available in Chanel stores or online at woolworths.co.za

All over coverage without creasing and caking. Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Concealer is a shortcut to a perfect complexion. Hydrating, lightweight, easy to apply, it brightens dark under-eye circles and covers imperfections. Loads of skin-loving ingredients, too. Wear it alone or with Teint Idole Ultra Wear 24H Longwear foundation. It comes in 15 shades, costs R510 and you’ll find it at Edgars, Woolworths, Foschini, Truworths and Superbalist.

The latest in the Moroccanoil Body Line is this lush Moroccanoil Hand Cream with argan oil and hyaluronic acid. Lightweight, fast absorbing, non-greasy, and in six gorg Mediterranean-inspired scents. From R180 from salons and spas or online on splush.co.za

These 100 per cent natural Superfood Make-Up Foundation Set balms from SA skincare brand Eco Diva Natural are a first. Packed with power superfoods, vitamins and antioxidants (so your skin is consistently being hydrated, rejuvenated and recharged when you wear it), the silky textured foundation glides on, lasts a good eight hours and leaves you looking like you aren’t wearing make-up at all. Just flawless, silky-smooth, even-toned glowing skin. Because it looks like you’re make-up free, they’re popular with men who want to hide blemishes, too, and can be worn by those suffering from skin conditions like psoriasis, pigmentation, premature ageing, acne, rosacea and eczema. Four base shades, which you can blend to get the perfect shade for your skin, and they’re packaged with a washable bamboo artist palette, two wooden artist scraper tools and a shading and highlighting tutorial.
