There's a first time for everything, and there must be something in the water because some of the world's biggest beauty brands are introducing some exciting firsts in the month of August. From La Mer's first ever emulsion to Hourglass Cosmetics expansive new colour palettes, there's plenty to be excited about in the realm of make-up and skincare...

Hourglass Curator Eyeshadow Collection

Hourglass Cosmetics has long been known and loved for their neutral palette of nudes, reds and earthy tones. But its latest release, the Curator Eyeshadow Collection, is the fresh take on colour we didn’t know we needed.

The collection features 40 elegant shades ranging from olive green to sapphire blue and deep purple. Pick and mix  your customisable palette, which is crafted from tin and post-consumer recycled plastic to reduce waste. 

Vegan, cruelty-free, eco-friendly and now featuring more colours than we know what to do with... Hourglass leaves little room for excuses when it comes to adopting a cleaner beauty routine.

Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair Serum

Just as our bodies need to rest and reset overnight, the same goes for our skin. After a day of being exposed to make-up, pollution and climate, rest and nourishment is key for naturally healthy, glowing skin. So if you're not already privy to overnight serums, it's time to get familiar. 

Cult Japanese skincare brand Tatcha's latest release, the Indigo Overnight Serum, harnesses the ancient healing benefits of indigo for its soothing antibacterial properties. It also includes Hyaluronic Acid to replenish lost moisture and Mondo Grass Root to boost skin immunity.

The complementary Climax Eyeshadow Palette featyres nine smoky shades including a matte mauve brown, matte khaki, slate blue and shimmering champagne to add depth and dimension.
