A season of new beginnings Mii Cosmetics’ New Beginnings collection draws inspiration from the spring, a season of renewal, to incorporate a fresh and lively, natural colour palette. The range echoes freshly emerging buds, earthly awakenings and the world coming back to life, with names designed to inspire and capture the essence of the shade. “The collection, like spring, is to provide a sense of excitement that should accompany any new beginning. Each colour represents the start of your story and aims to evoke a different feel and offer a different direction for the wearer,” says Paul Gerrard, head of brand communications at Gerrard International. The collection includes: Stranger Than Truth, a mysterious powder blue with a grey undertone; All Eyes Fell Upon Her, a wonderous peachy pink; She Humbled Him, an empowering soft pale lavender; Her Intentions Were Clear, a no-nonsense cotton candy pink; Careful. It’s Loaded, a dramatic, yet elegant soft lilac with a grey undertone; and The World Swiftly Changed, a dusty rose pink offering endless possibilities. The colours will be available in 9ml, 14ml retail sizes and a 13ml professional-only Statement Gel option. www.miicosmetics.com
Hebridean heaven ishga has introduced a retail Seaweed Bath that offers a relaxing and remineralising way to create an at-home spa bathing experience. Drawing on its brand heritage, wild fucus serratus seaweed is hand-harvested from the pure, pristine waters of the Hebrides, ishga’s home. Calming and relaxing, ishga’s Seaweed Bath helps to soothe aches and pains and can also benefit skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. Rich in polyphenol antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and bioactive polysaccharides, Hebridean seaweed is a healing, skin-nurturing plant that remineralises the body, leaving the skin and hair hydrated. Naturally occurring magnesium and iodine offer anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. Helping to fight damaging free radicals and skin ageing, seaweed also helps to improve skin elasticity. Organic hyaluronic and alginic acids help to strengthen the skin’s connective tissue and attract moisture, enabling the cells to lock in hydration, giving a plumping effect. www.ishga.com
