Beauty Bites: Matthew Williamson For Benefit PLUS Bumble and Bumble Expand The Thickening Family

If, like us, you’re finding it a little tricky to ease yourself back into the swing of things after a particularly wonderful Bank Holiday weekend then don’t fret- go and make a cuppa, take some deep breaths and look on the bright side- it’s already Wednesday tomorrow! What’s more, this week has some pretty amazing launches lined up which might just render you that little bit more excited about life right now. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…

Matthew Williamson and Benefit Join Forces

Now, now, what do we have here? We’ve been massive fans of Mr Williamson’s work ever since we set our eyes on the noughties-boho Sienna Miller, so to hear that one of our fave Brit designers is making his first foray in to the beauty world is almost more than we can deal with! To celebrate his 15^th anniversary of life in the fash-lane, Matthew Williamson has collaborated with Benefit to create a limited-edition makeup kit, The Rich Is Back. Inspired by the 1970’s, this palette really does pack a punch filled with some serious Benefit booty. “This is high-octane glam makeup for dressing up to look fabulous and dance the night away,” says Matthew.

The Rich Is Back, £26.50 will be available www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk from 15th June

Soap & Glory’s 2 Minute Rinse

Did you know that the average 5-minute shower uses 35 litres of water- 70% of our recommended daily water use? According to a recent survey, water shortage is the Earth’s most imminent ecological disaster, and seeing as we spend a lot of time in the shower/bath/bathroom testing all sorts of lotions and potions, we’re uber-excited to try out Soap & Glory’s new challenge- the 2 Minute Rinse. Armed with a little S&G timer, the beauty brand claim it is possible to lather up hair and body and get squeaky clean with just 2 minutes of running water. Log your showering skills on their Facebook page and you could win a prize for being the ‘best rinser’!

Bumble and Bumble Extend Their ‘Thickening’ Family!

Bumble and Bumble’s Thickening Hairspray has been a cult beauty buy for years (since its debut in 1989, to be precise), the ultimate go-to for fine hair, always delivering the perfect amount of bounce and control without feeling gummy or sticky. Now, just in time for summer, hair gurus B&B are extending the range with Full Form Mousse and Crème Contour, ideal for that big, sexy hair that always seems impossible to achieve. Housed in gorgeous periwinkle-blue packaging, the new products are designed to lift, sculpt, shape and contour, taking fullness to a whole new level!

Georgia Louise’s Red Carpet Facial

Whilst we love anyone who will make our skin look good, we are particularly head over heels for skincare-savvy supreme Georgia Louise. Her facials are some of the best we’ve ever tried, so you can imagine how excited we were when we heard that her products will be available to buy in Space NK from June onwards. What’s more, Georgia Louise was the official Met Gala facialist this year, responsible for bestowing a dewy glow on the likes of Katy Perry, Cameron Diaz and Linda Evangelista. When we caught up with Georgia Louise about last night, she said, “I did a 90-minute facial that was custom made to their skin. My facial was all about cheekbones and glowing skin for the event. I used micro-currents, lots of vitamins and hyaluronic acid followed by a ‘power house’ 20-min lift and sculpt massage to accentuate cheek bones.”
