Editor’s Wish List

Stellar skincare, jewel tones for the eyes, and a soft glam look; all perfect for fall. Here’s a roundup of our editor’s favorite beauty and skincare products…

Augustinus Bader’s Light Cream

This is my new favorite that does literally everything, from hydrate to renew to mattify, and more. Especially good for the Dubai weather, this contains ‘Trigger Factor Complex-8’, or TFC8®, a mixture of amino acids, vitamins, and synthesized molecules naturally found in the skin. It also contains aloe vera to retain moisture and soothe irritation; lemon myrtle extract; rice bran oil, a skin-care additive rich in antioxidant vitamins A, B1, B12, and E. It also reduces the appearance of pores for smoother-looking skin, and over just a few days, I noticed a huge difference in skin tone and elasticity.

Powered by 15% advanced Vitamin C, this immediately targets dark spots, dullness, and discolorations at the source, while also reducing the signs of aging. A power packed product, one of is key ingredients is a form of vitamin C called THD Ascorbate which results in visible anti-aging benefits; I noticed an improvement in fine lines from just a few days after use.

Infused with glycerin, these non-drying powders preserve moisture and deliver a surge of hydration that won’t result in chalky residue or flakiness.
