Beauty discoveries from the editorial office: 5 cosmetic novelties

Cosmetics is our passion. We regularly select for you 5 top products that have caught our attention recently. For the new season, it’s colored mascara, moisturizing lip gloss, moisturizing hair care, anti-aging body serum and also purely practical foot care, because the weather is starting to look friendly and sandals are calling!

MaxFactor’s new range of lip glosses have a non-sticky formula and promise the ‘lip glaze’ effect they’ve become famous for Hailey Bieber – simply voluminous and shiny lips thanks to the content of hyaluronic acid and squalane. The brand offers a choice of nine beautiful shades, with and without glitter, from transparent to pink to elegant brown. I tried shade 005 Honey Creme, which is transparent and contains golden glitter. I like the gloss to complement a natural makeup for the day. I also like it thanks to the large applicator and also the pleasant smell.

Foot cream should be on every woman’s bedside table. The season of bare legs is inexorably approaching and it is it’s high time to take care of the hard skin of the feet. The new cream from Manufaktura promises regeneration of cracked and strained skin and deep hydration. The composition is more or less natural: oils (macadamia, almond, oat), shea butter, glycerin, vaseline, urea, hyaluronic acid and also a complex of herbs (daisy, dandelion, thistle and rapeseed) take care of the feet.

It also has an antimicrobial and deodorizing effect on the skin of the feet, so it relieves foot odor. The cream has a fairly light consistency for being a very nourishing product, but that’s good because you won’t get your sheets greasy. And it smells beautiful, so it doesn’t matter if it stays on your hands before going to bed. The manufacturer recommends applying a larger layer once in a while as a mask and wearing cotton socks at night for extra care.

Colored mascaras are having their moment of glory again. Yay! You can also find blue, purple and pink variants from the well-known Czech brand Dermacol. The mascara has a conical, silicone brush with firm bristles. It combed and curled my eyelashes well. The paint coats them evenly, so it wasn’t much more work, I just added a little more layers. The shade is more of a dark blue and the result does not look “overdone” at all. I simply like the color. It is definitely not suitable for all events and outfits, but it is suitable for those casual, summer or party looks!

TIP: If you are going to a festival, for example, you can also apply mascara to your hair. Then wash off the color with a regular shampoo.

I use it on my face serum very popular, that’s why I was also very interested in the body one from Anna Brandejs. It is especially suitable for the décolletage, where wrinkles are formed mainly due to sleeping on the side, or for the neck and buttocks. You massage the serum into the skin of the body, you can also apply a body cream on it if you need. The ingredients in the serum hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen production. It also contains ceramides which support skin barrier. It has a greasier texture, but I personally don’t mind. I will also use it in summer in revealing dresses and tops, because it brightens the skin, smoothes it and you immediately feel better.

The new range of TRESemmé shampoos and conditioners has seen the light of day. I was excited to try the duo to deliver the hydration that my hair lacked. After blowing, they were beautifully shiny and dry ends they were sleeker. I also really like the smell that remains in my hair after washing. The shampoo lathers well, so you can easily get all the dirt out of your hair. The only downside is that it’s really very moisturizing and my hair tends to be oilier at the top (but dry at the ends!), so I have to wash it more often. That’s why I change shampoos according to my mood and hair condition. I also appreciate that they are easy to comb out after washing, which I often have a problem with. PS: Maybe my ends need a trim, but thanks to these two, I’ll be able to mask it for a while longer.
