This week ISAMAYA launched their daring new LIPS collection, which challenges the way makeup is perceived. It calls for human connection, and maintains the brand’s ethos of celebrating one’s self. As repression flourishes in every society, LIPS fearlessly honours the freedom of ideas and ownership, calling for liberation, innovation and seduction
LIPS Colour Infusion Lipstick (£80) in Cardinal, a vicious red housed in chrome packaging that delivers intense colour payoff with a lustrous, comfortable finish. Featuring ultra-dense liquid pigments suspended in a solid oil, the final effect is satin-slick, saturated colour in just one stroke. Formulated with antioxidant botanical actives – acai, berry oil, cherry seed oil, pomegranate seed oil, refined sweet almond and jojoba oil – which fuse with a high concentration of plant-derived conditioning agents for deep nourishment and potent restorative action.
LIPS Water Balm (£80) in Vanity, a sheer black glaze that drenches lips in a glossy veil of mesmeric shine. Housed in gunmetal packaging, the wet pigment technology melts upon contact with lips, gliding on with a soothing, water-like feel. The sheer black glaze adds a healthy flush of colour and is a great topcoat for your lips. The LIPS Collection bullets are designed to be removable, enabling the packaging to be used as an objet d’art or refilled for second use. LIPS refills will launch later in 2023. Vegan & cruelty free. Available now at isamaya.
New from Jones Road is The Bronzer (£32) a velvety powder that adds instant warmth to the skin and has been two years in the making, alongside The Bronzer Brush (£40) for flawless application.
“This is not like most bronzers – it works as a face powder and bronzer combined thanks to how its blended. The Bronzer can be used to add warmth to the skin or for colour correction if your skin is looking sallow – it’s minimal, quick and easy to use. It’s really reinventing the way powder looks on the skin!” Bobbi Brown
