Almost exactly a year ago, multidisciplinary creative Pharrell Williams (with his perfect, taut, glowing skin and all) launched a minimalist skincare line, Humanrace. This week the brand expanded its offerings with body care, and a gentle reminder that taking the time to care for yourself brings greater balance, confidence and stability to your life. Included in the new, all-gender body care drop is a soapless body bar (it’s not soap, but a formula that cleanses just as hard without stripping your skin of its natural oils) and a charcoal exfoliating bar, a.k.a., the “bodycare dermatologist.” Your showers (and/or baths... Pharrell’s morning bath is a daily ritual) just got better.
This week on Instagram, OTT beauty brand Hipdot hinted toward an upcoming collection featuring the Rugrats, completely inspired by the iconic Chanukah episode. Wrapped up in a white and blue collectors box, the Hipdot x Rugrats lineup will consist of a nine shade eyeshadow palette, two double-sided lip glosses (such fun), a blue sponge embossed with Tommy, Angelica and Chuckie face sheet masks and a special Tommy pin. The beloved ‘90s cartoon lives on this holiday season.
Les Parfums Louis Vuitton’s The Ultimate Flacon is the latest perfume bottle in the beauty world, boasting opulence and simplicity all at once. Created by Marc Newson as a limited-edition 200-piece fleet, each one unique with a number and engraved pieces, the bottle is made from the most precious Baccarat crystal with age-old blowing techniques.
“It’s scaled up to a sculptural dimension and takes inspiration from vintage fragrance displays,” said Newson in a press release. The one-litre flacon comes enclosed in a glass dome and leather base, making it a beautiful addition to your cabinet of curiosities, and is the perfect candidate for one day receiving heirloom status.
On December 1, Dezi Skin is bringing fans The Holiday Kit, a set that includes all three of the brand’s products in travel sizes. Tonal and easy on the eyes, the Masque On overnight moisture mask, Claro Que C vitamin C Glow Serum and Dew Me Over prep set and refresh mist come wrapped up in a cute, textured, brown box, with a hidden message written inside. “Little steps in the right direction, make for big change.”
If you’re one to get your nails done, you are likely familiar with CND’s wide range of salon colours. Now, the professional nail product and service brand has formulated a range of hand and body products that is primed for both the home and the salon. Inspired by nature, the hand wash is available in five refreshing scents, while the hand and body lotions come in six different scents.
Sarah Mariotti is a Toronto-based writer curious about fashion, spatial design, and ordinary human stories. When she’s not glued to her Kindle or writing about the next best earrings to hit the market, she’s putting on a pair of tortoise shades and ALD x New Balance sneaks and going for a nature walk — because a mentor and editor once told her that good ideas are always on the other side of a walk.
