Clear Choice

Eau Thermale Avéne's Diacnéal has recently been launched in Boots stores nationwide. The treatment moisturiser for acne-prone skin is clinically proven to promote clearer skin after only two months of use. The formula combines powerful active ingredients, glycolic acid and retinaldehyde, with the soothing properties of Avène thermal spring water, to help regulate and smooth skin. Research has shown more people over the age of 25 are suffering from acne now than ever before, and experts believe this is down to an over-sensitivity to testosterone which leads to an over-production of oil. Diacnéal has been designed to combat this over-sensitivity through once a day application, preferably in the evening, on clean and dry skin.

Metallic minerals

Lily Lolo has made it easy to get one of the hottest party looks this Autumn by introducing its metallic mineral make up shades. The glittering shades are designed to reflect light and ooze radiance. Mineral make up is one of the most effective ways to achieve a radiant, metallic look, and Lily Lolo's products contain mica; an earth derived mineral that gives a translucent glow to the skin and helps mask imperfections - the word mica even comes from the Latin word micare, meaning ‘to glitter'. The range includes eye colours in Mystery, Witchypoo and Angelic, alongside Star Dust to add a metallic sheen to lips, Apricot Smack lip gloss and Juicy Peach blusher.

Bright eyes

Origins has launched a new remedy to help offset visible signs of fatigue around the eyes. GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream is formulated with a cool, crème texture to invigorate tired eyes and hydrate the eye area, helping unsightly bags and under eye puffiness virtually disappear. The cream contains a combination of plant ingredients and vitamins, at the heart of which is panax ginseng - an adaptogenic herb with a 7,000 year history of use in Chinese medicine, which is believed to help balance energy as well as aiding the body and mind. Hesperiden and coleus barbatus are also included in the formula to help reduce puffiness. Natural moisturisers shea butter, trehalose and plant glycerin also help to replenish lost reservoirs of hydration.

Fierce collaboration

DSquared2 is the latest make up collection to be launched by MAC, and is inspired by the fiercely sexy high fashion catwalks. The range sees MAC collaborate with Canadian designers Dan and Dean Caten, whose haute hi-jinx collections are renowned for body-beautiful clothes. Described as a bit dishevelled but dramatically hip and dangerously sexy, this latest MAC collection starts with a strong, sooty eye pencil, also available in blue and violet, and includes sculpt and shape powders, lipsticks, a lip conditioner and a lip gloss. Despite the range's extensive collection of lip products, MAC considers its cynosure to be a daring and dramatic eye.

Take lashes to the max

Max-Factor says its in-house research shows women the world over consider long lashes to be the ultimate in femininity - especially longer lashes at the outer corner of the eyes. With this in mind, its new Lash Extension Effect Mascara has been inspired by professionally applied eyelash extensions, creating the look of super long, beautifully defined lashes. The mascara utilises a specially designed tapered wand, which has an innovative shape that enables you to reach the lash roots and outer corner lashes with ease. The middle lashes are reached thanks to the length of the brush, while the rounded extension at the top of the brush coats the tricky corner lashes. The formula itself elongates and separates lashes with virtually no heaviness, stiffness or clumpiness.
