MAKE THE MOST OF AN EXCLUSIVE 10% DISCOUNT ON OUR SUMMER FINDS AT BEAUTYEXPERT.CO.UK
Summer is upon us. It’s all too short. And it requires a whole new ‘beauty wardrobe’ of its own - from moisturisers to nail colours and ultra-nourishing body balms that put back what salt water, chlorine and sunshine take out…
What we’re all about is ‘editing’, though. We don’t think you need dozens of new products, just a few carefully-selected items that really work. So when it comes to our ‘approved’ beauty sites – like www.beautyexpert.co.uk - we like to trawl through occasionally to identify the products on the site that we really rate and use ourselves, or those which our Beauty Bible panellists have rated highly in Tried & Testeds. Like all our ‘chosen’ sites, Beauty Expert offers excellent service, prompt delivery, and features a stunning selection of the best brands – from N.V. Perricone, Steven Victor MD, MD Skincare and Dr Sebagh at the ‘cosmeceutical’ end through to ‘green’ ranges like Antipodes, Nude, Aesop and Saaf– one of the latest to join the Beauty Expert portfolio.
Below, you’ll find our summer ‘picks’ – on which you can take advantage of the special 10% discount we’ve set up for you. (Just click on any of the names to be whisked to that product on the Beauty Expert site.) How does the discount work? Add your chosen products to your shopping basket, then enter the discount code BBX08 at the checkout. And have a gorgeous summer…
Tweezerman Petite TweezeÒ Set. Packing tweezers for hols is a nightmare: if you’ve lost that little plastic guard off the end (and doesn’t everyone?), they get bent en route. (Er, and that’s if you don’t get them confiscated at the airport security desk first…) So: clever Tweezerman have come up with this so-sweet downscaled versions of both their slant and pointed tweezers, for perfect holiday plucking – and they’re slipped inside a protective pouch. (We love the red version.) Normally £20, but £18 to you with your ‘insider’ discount, if you click here.
Anne Semonin Express Radiance Ice Cubes Instructions for use: pop in freezer like an ice-cube tray. Pop one out again when skin needs a radiance jolt, then wrap in the gauze provided and smooth over skin. In addition to skin-boosting botanicals (from red micro-algae to lysine and evening primrose oil), these harness the age-defying powers of ‘cryotherapy’ (ice cold treatment, which can stimulate enhance skin function and tighten pores). But also – we’ve found – they’re an excellent cool-down for overheated skin. Normal price, £39. To you? Take £3.90 off that, when you click here.
Nude Hibiscus Monoi. One of our favourite products from Nude (whose packaging is some of the ‘greenest’ in the beauty world, featuring a high percentage of post-consumer waste in these sexy, sculptural bottles): a luscious, smells-like-a-tropical-paradise nourishing oil – from hibiscus-infused Tahitian coconut oil - that does double duty as a body moisturiser and intensive hair treatment. (NB It’s so unctuous that in cooler temperatures, you’ll need to immerse first in the bath or a basin of hot water, to liquefy the monoi oil. We’re rather hoping that this summer will be warm enough to drizzle this straight from the bottle!) Usual price £36 for 200 ml, but £32.40 if you click here.
Dr. Sebagh Sun City Protection SPF30 Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh is London’s ‘Botox King’, and the man responsible for the flawlessness of many famous complexions. His own signature range has become a ‘cult’ among those-in-the-know, featuring the highest-tech anti-ageing creations. We stand by our philosophy when it comes to anti-ageing that prevention is still preferable to cure, so we’ve picked out this terrific skin shield: a sinks-in-fast SPF 30 that’s suitable for combination and oily skins, and packs a protective antioxidant punch, making it ideal for summer in the city (and that includes holiday destinations – from Barcelona to Beijing or even Brighton!) It’s normally £50 for 50 ml, but you get a chunky £5 off that with your 10% discount, making this £45, if you click here.
OPI I’m Indi-a Mood for Love (normally £9.75, but £8.76 to you, if you click here.) Eye-popping brights are everywhere on fingers and toes this summer, but we think after un certain age fluoro should be avoided – so our fave splash of colour for toneails is this hot Indian pink, from nail experts OPI, whose polishes truly go the distance.
Rodial Brazilian Daily Tan Most daily tanners are loved for their subtlety, building gradually to a light tan. But if you like to look like you’ve spent a fortnight soaking up the rays on Copacabana beach, this is the one for you: Rodial’s ‘cult’ product, used every morning or evening, leaves you not so much sun-kissed as sun-snogged, with a sexy, intense bronze look. Usually £39 for 150 ml, but Beauty Expert offers you 10% off that, as a Beauty Bible ‘insider’, if you click here.
Saaf Pure Skincare. Saaf – created by a qualified pharmacologist and homeopath – is a new ultra-natural range: certified organic, certified vegetarian and vegan, alcohol-free, cruelty-free, GMO-free… Packed with plant nourishment, the textures are luscious, ideal for summer skin-replenishment. On Jo’s bedside table you’ll find Saaf Pure Skincare Organic Super Hydrating Body Balm - rich in Essential Fatty Acids and vitamin B, to repair the skin barrier (great on shins, leaving them sheen-y and smooth), and Saaf Pure Skincare Organic Foot Softening Balm, a does-what-it-says skin treat to slather on overnight, allowing the blend of olive oil, vitamin E and anti-irritant black seed oil will banish all dryness and roughness by morning.
