BACI BACI BACI

Many beauty brands are harnessing the power of social media to give personality to their products. Dolce & Gabbana has us hooked on its Miss Sicily Lipstick social-media campaign that not only shows the wearability of the pigmented lacquered lipsticks, but also challenges you to let your lips do all the talking. The #BaciChallenge shows women choosing their favourite Miss Sicily shade and surprising strangers in the streets of Sicily with a kiss. We cannot wait to apply our favourite shade and land a Dolce & Gabbana style “baci” on a special someone. Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Lipstick in 600 Maria, R625.


TRAVEL WITH CHANEL

Chanel has made it easier to carry our favourite products with us, even when we’re half way across the world. Its new travel-friendly collection is designed to keep your beauty routine easy, quick, and uncompromised. The Travel Diary collection includes lip colours, nail polishes, brow pencils, and eye shadow; our favourite is the 3-in-1 Palette Essentielle, R1 080. This palette houses three multi-purpose products to keep you going: a creamy concealer that can be used as a light coverage or to touch up skin throughout the day, a cream highlighter to add radiance on the skin or create a glossy shimmer on eyes, and a creamy blush to glide on a flush on the cheeks or a tint of colour on the lips.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TO AMERICAN SWISS

The Flamingo, The Black Swan, and The Peacock may be equally beautiful, but you’ll only have one favourite. These flamboyant and opulent, American Swiss statement rings are inspired by nature. The Flamingo features an exquisite 4.7ct Morganite, set in 18kt pink gold and enhanced by diamonds. The Peacock ring is a striking celebration of a 3ct Tanzanite, framed by blue Topaz and diamonds, set in 18kt white gold. Much like the rare and beautiful bird, The Black Swan is an ode to grace, featuring a 2.5ct black diamond surrounded by white diamonds, set in 18kt white or pink gold. Choose a bold colour, turn heads, and wear your style with pride this summer.

LUXE AND BAREL

We’re serious about our manicures, so when we find a ha­ven where we can get our hands pampered or enjoy an express shoulder massage over a cup of ginger tea, we’re all for it. Tenfold Nail Salon, situated in the newly revamped Cosmopolitan Building in the budding art district of Maboneng, is a nail bar that practises a “natural nail couture” concept. “We believe the next generation of beauty is a lot more natural: it’s toxin free, socially responsible, definitely a lot more chic, and we’re laying the foundation for that,” says Tenfold owner Georgia Shekeshe. You will not find your normal acrylic tips, artificial nails, or products containing formaldehyde here, but a unique nail experience in a beautiful, minimal setting that can only be described as pure escapism.
