Celebrate more than a decade of KVD Vegan Beautys #1 award-winning eyeliner, Tattoo Liner (£18). In collectible red packaging, this special-edition liner features the same ultra-black, smudge-resistant pigment and waterproof, long wear as the original Tattoo Liner.  This vegan eyeliner features optimised black pigments for opaque, all-day long wear that’s waterproof and smudge-resistant.  Celebrity Beauty Artist to Arianna Grande and KVD Vegan Beauty Cat Eye Ambassador Daniel Chinchilla believes when creating the ultimate liner “The most important thing is the tool. I love the KVD Vegan Beauty Tattoo Liner because the brush is so precise and so thin, you’re able to create a really small flick, and then also build and make it thicker as you go”.  Available now from boots.

 

Maqpro Creamy Tattoo Cover can be used to cover tattoos as well as dark circles, blemishes and birth marks.   This new range is available in a full cover cream, that comes in a 15ml tube (£14) and an airbrush formula in a 30ml bottle (£35).   Create your own shades by mixing shades or build cover by layering shades.  Waterproof, highly pigmented, easy to apply, lightweight and quick drying formula does not need a setting powder.  Both variants dry in seconds whilst remaining flexible unlike other tattoo covers which can dry and crack. Minimising the need for touch ups!  Available now from themakeuparmoury.

Relieve dry eyes in seconds with new Instant Relief Eye Spray from Peep Club (£15). Modern living, and particularly lockdown, means that we’re spending more and more time on our phones and computers, and as you blink 6-8x less when you look at a screen, it’s no wonder that many of us are ending the day with tired and heavy eyes.  The feeling of strain in your eyes after a long day of screen time is often due to Dry Eye Syndrome – a condition that is affecting up to 80% of consumers.  This spray has been developed to hydrate eyes from the inside out.  Formulated with wild harvested colourless sea buckthorn oil and sodium hyaluronate, both clinically proven to relieve symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome, and they work in tandem to hydrate eyes on both the inside and the outside.  The spray is alcohol-free, preservative-free, vegan and made using organic and wild-harvested ingredients. It is suitable for even the most sensitive eyes, as well as being suitable for contact lens wearers and can be used over makeup.  Each bottle contains around 300 doses and is available from peepclub.

The Hair and Beauty Charity are still working to support those that need their help.  They have had just over £250,000 donated recently from professional beauty expert, Caroline Hirons and the Beauty Backed campaign. They have funds available for those people who do need their help; ask them if you need support.

They are a small charity and have to prioritise assistance to those who need it most urgently.  Priority will be given to households where only one adult (working within the industry) provides the only income to the household (e.g. if you live with your partner who will still receive an employed wage, priority will be given to single parent families whose only income is dependent on their hair/beauty industry wage).  Visit their website for more information and to make an application.
