IN THE FILE: THE SPRING EDIT

Chloé, Atelier des Fleurs Plage du Figuier Eau de parfum 50 ml, £115

Chloé has launched a new Atelier des Fleurs collection – Les Essences Méditerranéennes – a stunning collection centred around the sun-drenched landscapes of the South of France, and we are in love. The fragrances feel like Mediterranean spring and summer. Infused with nature’s much-loved ingredients. Each scent transports you to aromatic hillsides and sun-drenched days by the sea. We are loving Atelier des Fleurs Sable Lavande – soft, warm lavender enhanced through a solar fig accord, Atelier des Fleurs Vert Soleil – coastal lentisque and green mandarin for leafy, vibrant zest, Atelier des Fleurs Plage du Figuier – a new interpretation of the fig, revealing its secret flower with luminous florality and my favourite – Atelier des Fleurs Sous les Pins, sun-warmed pine trees, bark and needles meet a woody, eucalyptus-infused breeze.

Westman Atelier, HydroBalm Tinted Lipstick, £45

Thrilled that this exists! Finally, thanks to the genius that is Gucci Westman, we have an answer to the perfect hybrid of balm and lipstick. The colours are absolutely exquisite. Sheer pops of the prettiest and chicest hues across the browns, reds and pink worlds in an incredibly silky, moisturising balm. The lips look and feel absolutely gorgeous and nourished. This is totally my new handbag essential. I am especially loving the colours  English Rose – a sheer winter rose,  and Cafe Creme – the perfect 90’s cool brown nude. These are honestly the best.

Chanel, Stylo Yeux Waterproof 67 Rouge Noir, £28

Chanel makeup always delivers, and this waterproof eye pencil defines eyes in a smooth and easy-to-use way that creates an intense look. This creamy, smudge-proof formula is resistant to water, humidity, and oil – perfect for party nights. The colour range is incredible, and the pigments are very strong and weighty. Though not a typical spring colour, we are loving the warmer shades, particularly 67 Rouge Noir, a deep burgundy-plum that offers something different and punchier to a smoky eye or line.

Seed To Skin, The Recovery Cream, £218

Seed to Skin is a brand built on luxury and care. The formulas are all derived from the earth’s most divine plants and botanicals on-site in Italy. I am a huge fan of the brand, what they stand for, and how they work. And this new launch of The Recovery Cream is another gorgeous offering from them. A deeply soothing cream, The Revovery Cream has been designed to target inflammation, barrier disruption and chronic sensitivity. It’s the antidote to harsh chemical formulas, and instead exists to support and reinstate the skin barrier. Luxuriously rich, yet it easily absorbs into the skin, giving comfort while still incorporating effective actives that work over time to re-establish the skin’s structural integrity and balance. A spa in a jar.

Hermès Musc Pallida Eau de parfum, £300

I can’t explain how delicious this perfume is. Perfumer Christine Nagel, the genius behind many of the Hermès scents, first introduced Musc Pallida as an essence de parfum and a perfumed body cream (one of the best body creams ever). She has now developed a fresh and powerful angle of the scent with this eau de parfum. The combination of Iris Pallida, one of perfumery’s most precious materials, often likened to gold, works harmoniously with soft, smooth musk. This is a feminine, warm and clean powdery scent that is timeless yet totally fresh. I am loving wearing this elegant perfume and have been reaching for it every day. A new classic for sure.

Kosas, Shiny Objects Wet Glisten Powder Highlighter, £32

This new Wet Glisten Powder Highlighter from Kosas is all things glittery, sparkly and pink. Whilst maybe not an obvious choice for those of us who prefer an au natural approach to make-up and beauty, this highlighter doubles as an eye shadow that is beyond pretty and super wearable, even for a woman who doesn’t often do sparkle. It has the smoothest texture, and the sparkle isn’t chunky but more of a flat matte shimmer. The pink hue is between blush and tawny, and works to highlight most complexions. This is super fun to wear on the eyes without much else on the face, and obviously stunning on the cheeks – as was intended to be worn. A perfect sparkle wash for spring evenings.

Ilia Beauty, Skin Blur Serum Concealer, £30

Spring skin means sheerer formulas and a hydrated glow. And this new launch from Ilia is a wonderful fit! In a beautiful and wide array of shades, this Skin Blur Serum Concealer sits so gorgeously on the skin. Boosted with caffeine and peptides, the featherlight formula offers a medium coverage with a blurrred finish that doesnt feel cakey or dry – hence the serum infused claims. I have been weaing this on its own without any need for additional skin tints, foundations or coverage. Beautiful, light and great for the skin too.

Noble Panacea, The Exceptional Chronobiology Sleep Mask, £302

I recently attended the launch of Noble Panacea’s new 30-day cortisol reset cream, but was also introduced to this Chronobiology sleep mask, which I have heard great things about. It may be one of the brand’s most heralded products, and for good reason. This mask is all about the results, which do their thing while you sleep. It is packed with actives including retinol for collagen stimulation and anti-ageing, PHA for gentle exfoliation, and a cocktail of botanical oils (black cumin, prickly pear, argan, jojoba, avocado). The texture is beautiful and leaves you waking up with a smoother, softer complexion. As this is a potent active formula, it may be wise to skip additional retinols during the period of use. Housed in the brand’s iconic packaging of 8 easy-to-use individual doses, this is designed to be used 1-2 times a week and comes with a silicone brush and a Gua Sha tool for application.

Thorne, Vitamin D3, £17

Vitamin D is an absolute non-negotiable. And if you live in London or Europe, you are probably not getting enough natural vitamin D/ sunshine. Vitamin D is the most crucial beauty ingredient for a healthy immune system, cardiovascular health, mood regulation, reducing depression and can even aid in weight loss. This formulation from Thorne is a super high-quality concentration and is often recommended by the best nutritionists. I have been taking this for a while and can honestly say I feel great. I don’t let my family leave the house in the morning without a few drops (1 is recommended, but a couple more can’t harm). Even though sunnier days are coming, this truly supports the whole body in so many important ways.
