Our columnist delves into the must-have creams and rituals that wind back the clock on dazzlingly cool supermodels
When Kate, Duchess of Cambridge visited Dublin last year to launch her beauty and wellness line Cosmos at Brown Thomas, she told me that her latest move is to replace all-night parties with wellness rituals and meditation. He said it was the atmosphere.
I’ve partied with Kate in the past, we have a mutual friend James Brown, but I’m happy to report that Kate still has that magical aura, and She’s more Zen-like these days, into crystals, wild swimming, and mindfulness meditation, and she’s still as cool as ever.
Kate insisted I try her out. cosmos dawn tea (24 euros, brownthomas.com), blended by alchemist and homeopath Victoria Young, and it’s not bad!
Kate told me that she drinks this tea first thing in the morning. Because black tea contains hibiscus flower, which energizes and strengthens the body, crushed bay leaf, which supports skin, hair, and nails, and ginger root, which helps maintain immunity.There is also dusk tea During the night time, we use a blend of herbs and soft spices to help you sleep better and calm your mind.
Oh, and if you want to smell like Kate, she has these scents: Cosmos Sacred Mist (140 euros, brownthomas.com), bergamot, jasmine, and tonka essential oils.Kate also swears Laneige Sleeping Lip Mask (Berry) (24 euros, Space NK). Apparently her daughter Laila got caught up in it. I bought this because I was looking for my daughter’s mini. I have to admit it’s worth the hype. Contains vitamin C and antioxidants to gently remove dead skin cells and create kissable lips overnight.
I also read trend Lila gave it to me for not wearing SPF and now I’m wearing SPF La Roche Posay Anthelios UVmune 400 SPF50+ Invisible Fluid (22.20 euros, mccabespharmacy.com). It is extremely resistant to water, sweat and sand, providing extremely high protection.
I think so as someone in my 50s. Erborian Super BB Cream Eau Ginseng (42 euros, Space NK) is formulated with niacinamide and fermented ginseng flower and ginseng to deeply moisturize and smooth skin, visibly visibly eliminating imperfections from the inside out. and reduce it. That means skincare and makeup are SPF20.
Oh yeah, I have to mention the new Marilyn makeup shoot. charlotte tilbury hollywood beauty icon lipstick (€34, Arnotts) Featuring 5 new pinks, 5 new reds and matching lip cheat Liner, 25 euros. Apparently her MUA Her Sophia Her Tilbury used the warm nude rose icon Her Baby on Kate, but the beauty is that she only needs one swipe.
Kate doesn’t actually wear false eyelashes, but instead swears by: kevin aucoin eyelash curler (20.65 euros, cloud10beauty.com), I swear to myself.
Lastly, Sam McKnight was in charge of Marilyn’s hair, so I’m pretty sure he sprayed Marilyn’s hair. Hair by Sam McKnight Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist (32.95 euros, Samnite.com).
I think these products sum up Kate at 50 years old. Still cool and a little rock and roll, but forever fresh.
