Beauty Roundup: SK-II, AMOREPACIFIC, Kiehl’s, ColourPop, H&M, Tatcha, artnaturals & more

Tuesday, April 18, 2017 by Wendy Lam

I can’t believe it’s mid-April already, time is passing so fast this year. Earth Day (4/22) is around the corner so pick up some beauty products that are derived directly from nature. Here are some new beauty products that I’m looking forward to trying as well!

SK-II Sakura Limited Edition Facial Treatment Essence, $229 for 230ml
SK-II is excited to launch a new, limited edition Facial Treatment Essence for Mother’s Day!
The new Sakura Limited Edition Facial Treatment Essence is adorned with an elegant motif inspired by Sakura, the Japanese Cherry Blossom, for this special occasion. Referred to as ‘miracle water’ by users around the world, the iconic Facial Treatment Essence was the very first SK-II product launched in Japan more than 37 years ago, with its composition remaining unchanged to this day. The formula features over 90% pure Pitera – the signature ingredient containing vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids – which helps the skin’s natural surface rejuvenation process to function at its prime. Available at sephora.com

AMOREPACIFIC The Essential Creme Fluid, $98 for 90ml, sephora.com & amorepacific.com
The newest disruptor to the moisturizer category offering the instant hydration of a fluid texture, while delivering the lasting benefits of a rich crème. Created with 150 AMOREPACIFIC baby green tea leaves which make up nutrient T-Essentials™ and the brand’s exclusive Neutra-Melting Emulsion Technology™, THE ESSENTIAL CREME FLUID quickly penetrates the deepest layers of the skin to improve hydration, smoothness and firmness.

AMOREPACIFIC TIME RESPONSE Vintage Wash-Off Masque, $170 for 50ml, nordstrom.com & amorepacific.com
This skin-purifying masque is made of 7-day fermented and aged green tea leaves that are visible in the formula to deliver superior antioxidant and brightening effects. The carefully cultivated green tea leaves maintain rich levels of protective compounds that boost the plants’ immunity against environmental stress, allowing them to flourish for more than three decades. AMOREPACIFIC’s patented fermentation process maximizes the benefits of the green tea leaves, resulting in skin that is instantly revitalized, more hydrated and glowing with radiance.

Healthy Hydration starts with Kiehl’s two beloved products – Ultra Facial Cream (now in SPF 30) and Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado.  The duo is the perfect building block for a basic hydration routine.  The added sunscreen protects against skin-damaging UVA and UVB rays!

Kiehl’s is proud to partner for the 6th year with Recycle Across America in donating an additional $25,000 to the cause!  Since 2009, Kiehl’s has collected over 3.3 million empty containers to be recycled.

Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado $48.00, kiehls.com

Ultra Facial Cream SPF 30 $47.50, kiehls.com

H&M Conscious Exclusive Perfume Oils
For the first time ever, H&M’s Conscious Exclusive collection includes a set of three organic unisex perfume oils that can be worn individually, or mixed together to create a unique scent. The oils are a part of the 2017 Conscious Exclusive collection which also includes pieces made from more sustainable materials for women, men, and kids. The collection will be available in select stores and online beginning April 20th.

The organic perfume oils are created around three different scent groups – floral, fresh and woodsy. Rouge Pivoine combines top notes of bergamot, rose and pear with a middle layer of peony and geranium; the peonies echo a screen-print used in a piece for the women’s Conscious Exclusive collection. The base of Rouge Pivoine consists of freesia, tea, and cedar.

The freshness of Lemon Amour comes first from top notes of orange, lemon, and bergamot, with a middle layer of lemongrass and lime, and finishing with a base of apricot, melon, and guaiacum. Meanwhile, the woodsy Vert Douce starts with notes of sweet orange, galbanum, and elemi, followed by layers of green leaves, rose, and tea leaves, and a finishing note of cedar and cypress.

Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Pure Eau de Toilette
For the first time, the aquatic accords of this fragrant odyssey are brightened by citrus notes. Zesty, fizzy Mandarin sparks up the fragrance. A new day is dawning. Touched by morning dew, a pristine, fluttering petal unfurls… Pure, soaring, as exhilarating as the dawn of the first spring, Neroli essence wraps the heart of the fragrance with a diaphanous halo. Bathed in pearly light, Rose and Lily-of-the-valley bloom. A salty, musky breeze of Ambergris and Cashmeran touches these freshly blossomed flowers, wafting the scent of sea spray, sand and sun-kissed skin. A drop. Just a drop of dew or seawater. And nature comes alive.

Sleek, simple and iconic, the bottle created by the American designer Todd Bracher reflects the streamlined scent it holds. For the new Eau de Toilette, the glass is brushed with a delicate breath of frost that evokes both pristine petals and the shimmering gleam of dew.

  • L’Eau d’Issey Pure 3.0 oz. Eau de Toilette Spray SRP: $100.00 USD
  • L’Eau d’Issey Pure 1.6 oz. Eau de Toilette Spray SRP: $78.00 USD

Tatcha TWILIGHT: A Cherry Blossom Lip Collection
Inspired by the Geishas for the perfect shape of their iconic lips and Kyoto’s Cherry Blossoms for their delicate pink color, The Cherry Blossom Lip Collection will be your new go-to spring essential. While most envision Cherry Blossoms in the bright light of the day, the trio is inspired by the way they look at twilight that make you feel like anything is possible.

Not only do the three products work to create a beautiful look, the pure ingredients work simultaneously. The cherry blossom extract is known for its powerful collagen-boosting and antiaging properties, the silk extract works to form a multi-functional protective layer that increases skin’s moisture retention and the unique blend of anti-aging Japanese superfoods (green tea, rice, algae) leave lips with a smooth finish. Available at tatcha.com.

Charlotte Tilbury New Products
Charlotte Tilbury launched two new products on CharlotteTilbury.com to make it easy for everyone to fake that sun-kissed, lit-from-within skin.

Charlotte Tilbury Overnight Bronze & Glow Mask, $55, CharlotteTilbury.com
The secret to a perfect, healthy looking complexion is a warm, natural, all-over, non-streak glow. In the same way that Charlotte’s Filmstar Bronze and Glow has become famous for its perfect, fail-safe, easy-contour, the Overnight Bronze & Glow Mask has the MOST natural pigments, and the MOST hydrating formula so you’ll never look orange, only sun-kissed, supple and sexy. Apply a thin layer onto freshly cleansed skin, gently blending into the hairline, neck and décolletage. Build your dream glow over 1 to 3 nights to the intensity of your desired tan!

Blackcurrant Seed Oil and Balloon Vine Extract conditions while Oat Kernel Extract soothes, moisturizes and lifts the skin, and acts as a skin protectant. Low levels of DHA create a natural-looking, gradual tan.

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Glow Instant Palette, $75, CharlotteTilbury.com
Inspired by the makeup Charlotte did for Poppy Delevingne’s wedding, this is the perfect universally-flattering palette for a youthful, glowing radiance. Contains 3 eyeshadow shades to enhance and make the eyes pop, two blush shades for that love glow, and a bronzer and highlighter (because no look is complete without killer cheekbones). To finish the look, Charlotte will be re-launching her best-selling Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk.

Dr.Jart Rubber Lover Masks
Dr.Jart has developed an innovative design to maximize benefits of masks by blocking the evaporation of nourishing active ingredients from the skin’s surface. Inspired by the last step of esthetic care using the modeling rubber mask, Rubber Lover is the product that solves the tiresome method of existing modeling masks which consists of mixing mask powders and water together.  The mask is the combination of high-functional benefits of modeling masks with the convenience of sheet masks. The rubber textured mask is derived from seaweeds that allow for immediate cooling benefits to soothe the skin while promoting deeper penetration of active ingredients.
