Simply Abu Dhabi Magazine XXIII

W elcome back to Simply Beauty. It's been a busy season with lots of exciting new launches and innovations in the cosmetic world, all of which can be enjoyed by women everywhere, no matter what walk of life. For this issue, I have some special treats in store for you. Firstly, our lovely friends at Dolce &Gabbana have told us all about their new fragrance releases. Do you recall their well-known classic scent Light Blue? Well, it's still going strong and just as popular as when it first launched. So much so that we now have its little brother and sister to enjoy. In a limited edition release, these are sure to be snapped up by fans and collectors alike, so get your orders in quick! I have tracked down some other experts in their fields in the form of skincare and makeup aficionados. First up, if you don't know her name yet, be sure to learn it, as all the A-list have been trusting her with their facial skincare for years. Sarah Chapman is the woman with the Midas touch who is called upon by those in the know. She and her team will transform your skin with the facials she performs in her chic London clinic, whilst her high-end skincare range will sort you out in the interim when you're continuing your routine at home. Once you've tried it, you'll never look back; her customers are fiercely loyal and it's easy to see why. Then looking towards California, we can see the light… lots of light! Hourglass makeup has revolutionised how we present our skin. Tricks of the light with products that catch it and bounce it into all the right places. Pores and fine lines are blurred, imperfections concealed and you suddenly look a lot more healthy. It's the ideal complexion we've all been dreaming about, nowmuch more within reach. We also hear from the brand’s founder, Carisa Janes. Believe me when I say, once you hear all she has to say on the subject, you'll be first in the queue to try her products. I hope these brands inspire you to try something new, indulge yourself and see what's possible. With a little effort and a slight change of direction, you too can achieve incredible results with your beauty regimen.
