The Fame Issue

They're almost, almost there. They're just a TikTok away from being sold out on all the physical and digital shelves of beauty stores. These are the products to keep an eye on, the ones that will make you proudly proclaim, "I already knew them, I already use them", when that coworker brings them up as a recommendation. Simply because, in the world of beauty, "before it's sold out, it's in Vogue."

The Lifting Firming Serum, La Mer

There are few cases in which a product is as well-known as its ingredients. However, the fame of the Miracle Broth complex in La Mer's The Lifting Firming Serum has reached all corners of the world, widely known as "regenerator of youth". Now it has a competitor: the Restructuring Ferment, which joins the ingredients list of the renewed The Lifting Firming Serum. Who will win this popularity contest? The person who applies this serum to their skin, of course.

A-Shaba Complex Eye Serum, Drunk Elephant

Drunk Elephant's colorful packaging attracts any beauty lover, but it's its high-performance formulas that turn a curious consumer into a loyal one. The new A-Shaba Complex Eye Serum will be no exception. Let's start with the list of star ingredients: 0.1% (vegan!) retinol, 3% caffeine and copper peptides. We move on to the even more starry results: improving skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of spots and wrinkles, among others.

Honey Infused Hair Repair Serum, Gisou

A sweet, calming fragrance? Check. 96% natural ingredients? Check. Moisturizing, repairing and protective properties? Triple check. Whenever Gisou launches a new product, the Internet explodes. So we expected nothing less when the Honey Infused Hair Repair Serum was launched. Composed of encapsulated pure honey microspheres, its formula also benefits from nourishing oils and vegetable keratin. It's everything your hair deserves.

Eyephoria Handbag Palette, Rabanne Makeup

No one expected anything else: we knew that Rabanne's newly named make-up line would be brilliant, we just didn't imagine that it would be taken literally. Eyeshadows (with glitter), mascara (with glitter), sprays (with glitter) and an irrational desire to try everything in one make-up look. In the absence of a Studio 54 that accepts such boldness, we're left with the Eyephoria Handbag Palette, which can also be used as a handbag. It's a - you know what's coming next - brilliant idea.

Skin Caviar Luxe Cream, La Prairie

Apply every morning and evening, after the rest of your beauty routine (and at the start of the day, followed by sunscreen). These instructions seem too simple for the results obtained. No, you don't have to explore unknown paths in search of the fountain of youth. Just use La Prairie's Skin Caviar Luxe Cream as described. The results are what you would expect from the Swiss brand: a delight for the user and their skin.
