Irresistible finds for an original design, its functionality, its colour, its aroma and good ideas. Creativity does not close for holidays and surprises with ingenious proposals and a mantra: the new luxury will be more sustainable or it will not be. They are the fringes of this summer.
The celebration of the centenary of Chanel No. 5 is delighting collectors. The latest (for now) is a line of 17 products inspired by everyday objects that have the mythical perfume as their only ingredient. A limited edition with refillable containers reminiscent of a pot of paint or a jar of jam. Everyone falls in love! Nº5 Chanel Factory 5 shower gel and bath tablets (65 euros each).
The jar already breaks the rules; It is like a drop of water with a magnifying glass effect that helps to have a different perspective on things. Nature as a reference, well-being as an objective and lilac, a silent flower impossible to distill, as a metaphor for hidden beauty. The renewed codes of luxury – recycled glass, sustainability and social responsibility – envelop a very Zen aroma. A Drop d'Issey, by Issey Miyake, EDP 50 ml (86 euros).
There is a desire to show off the makeup in all its splendor and the non-conformist and glamorous proposal of Emma Stone's Cruella gives a lot of ideas that go beyond the black and white of her hair. The transgression of punk is more feminine and romantic but it does not lose its power. Palette with 8 Cruella to be Kind shadows (45.50 euros) and brush (26.50 euros) from M•A•C
A custom tan… even if you don't step on the beach. Three sunny matte shades to be used together or separately that prevent dehydration and protect from pollution. For an urban August. Bronzing Palette, by Clarins (48 euros).
The aroma boom for the home (and terraces and gardens) shows its most sybaritic side with a porcelain candle holder made by Vista Alegre for the Comporta collection of 4 candles, matching 4 scented sprays. All as cool as the luxury boho chic of the Portuguese area that gives the brand its name. Candle holder (100 euros) and Mosquito scented candle, from Comporta (62 euros).
The jars that tell stories are and will be a top trend. That of this floral and woody perfume, which enhances the most powerful facets of femininity, is distinguished by a sharp black dagger that cuts glass and is patented. Pure subtlety. Shiseido's Ginza. EDP 90 ml (128.50 euros).
With 240 million followers on Instagram, everything Selena Gomez does is news. The latest is to launch her own makeup line. It's called Rare and wants to discuss the still dominant prototype of unrealistic beauty to celebrate the acceptance of what makes us different and unique. Ella's touch-up kit, with perfecting powders and blotting papers, is perfect for oily skin and humid climates. Blot & Glow Touch-up, from Rare Beauty (30, 99 euros). at Sephora.
The most impressive looks on the catwalk, those that everyone remembers for their creativity and for creating trends, are usually the work of Pat McGrath, the most influential makeup artist in the world. She adorned her eyelashes with feathers, her face with jewels... she Now she debuts her own collection, Divine Rose II. His eye palette is cult but we stick with a matte pink lipstick reminiscent of Dalí. Mattetrance, by Pat McGrath Labs (37.99 euros). at Sephora.
The interchangeable covers dress the lipsticks according to the mood of the day. Mint green, lemon yellow, the typical polka dots of the house and a refreshing pineapple charm add up to a collection with a vocation for fashion accessories. From Herrera Beauty, casings (20 euros); charm (10 euros).
