NEW YORK, July 16 — As every beauty lover knows, cutting down the products you need to take on vacation is easier said than done. Luckily, there are some handy new multitaskers on the market. If your summer holiday includes a spot of city sightseeing then here are some of the hottest new products for your travel wash bag.
Urban skin protection for city streets
Being in the city won’t necessarily protect you from the potentially harmful effects of the sun’s rays. The new Elizabeth Arden Prevage City Smart Broad Spectrum SPF 50 cream not only offers UV protection, but also acts as a shield from other urban factors such as air pollution and smoke that can accelerate the signs of aging. Available from www.elizabetharden.com for US$68 (RM270).
Acne-fighting moisturiser
Cut down on your skincare products with Neutrogena’s new daily moisturising lotion that also fights acne, thanks to its integrated salicylic acid treatment. The lightweight formula promises not to clog pores and is also lightly scented with a pink grapefruit perfume. Available for US$8.99 from www.neutrogena.com.
Lifting mascara for a dramatic look
Leave the eyelash curlers at home and instead pack No7’s new Dramatic Lift Mascara for city nights out. Featuring a curved styling wand designed to reach each mash, it promises to add volume and lift lashes by 70 per cent for a glamorous and wide-eyed look. Available from www.boots.com for £10.00 (approximately US$13).
Soothing toner to wipe away the day
Golden Door’s new Soothing Toner removes any residue after cleansing, meaning any traces of city life will be banished before bedtime. What’s more, it claims to reduce irritations and inflammations and revitalise and hydrate the skin, leaving it better prepared for subsequent products. Available from http://goldendoor.com/product/cleanse/soothing-toner/ for US$28.
Blush and highlight
Tom Ford’s latest Soleil Colour Collection includes the new powder duo Sheer Cheek Duo in “Bicoastal”, which saves space by bringing a soft radiance to cheeks via a blush and a highlighter in one compact. Available from www.tomford.com for US$78. — AFP-Relaxnews
