Beauty editors swear by it. Devotees can’t live without it. La Mer reimagines The Renewal Oil, bringing its head-turning radiance and treatment benefits to the entire body. Every sumptuous touch of the NEW Renewal Body Oil Balm wraps skin in a transformational wave of Miracle BrothTM-infused soothing hydration and the kiss of a gorgeous, healthy-looking sheen.
The concentrated balm is activated by the warmth of the skin, transforming into a lightweight, silken oil on contact to create a radiant, glowing look, while delivering powerful treatment benefits.

Together with The Renewal Oil, this duo imparts skin with soothing hydration for a luxurious all-over glow.
First there was The Slim, a full coverage matte finish lip colour that gave a leather effect to lips.
Now, get ready to meet a new member of the Rouge Pur Couture family: The Slim Sheer Matte.
With a medium coverage that is easy to build on, unlike many matte lip colours, it feels lightweight and comfortable, all day long.
Dress your lips in sheer matte rouge; enhance their beauty with a lightweight veil of luminous colour.
The Slim Sheer Matte is the ultimate in understated looks, bringing an air-brushed finish and so-touch feel in 12 outstanding shades, created to form the perfect wardrobe of lip colours, by Global Beauty Director, Tom Pecheux.
THE SLIM IN SILVER
As slim as a stiletto, The Slim Sheer Matte comes in a new silver casing, distinguishing it from its leather counterpart, The Slim which is encased in gold. Like a mirror, it is handy to use for application, and stylish to pull out of a back pocket or purse.
Enter the YSL Beauté matte lipstick vestiaire, where women dress their lips in Rouge, arming themselves for whatever lies ahead. Sophisticated, subversive, and ready to cross the line, Zoë Kravitz and Edie Campbell,
photographed by David Sims, switch from being fully dressed in leather, to wearing almost nothing but their rouge.
A duo. A subversive chase. And a series of red lines – sharp laser beams – that must be crossed. Who will get there first?
In an exciting drama filmed by Can Evgin and with makeup by Tom Pecheux, Edie Campbell stars as a sulphurous burglar. Landing in the grounds of a castle in a helicopter, she applies her The Slim Sheer Matte
before making her moves. Inside the castle, another girl applies The Slim. The women move towards one another, ducking the alarm system, controlled by red light lasers but it’s Edie who has the upper hand, striding with sure steps towards the goal: a white, luminous pedestal in the centre of the room. Even in high heels, she steps coolly over a red beam, dodging another with a shrug of her shoulders. Suddenly she stops in her tracks, spotting her enemy, and the laser passes horizontally over her lips multiplying the sheer eect. The immense room is illuminated suddenly; her enemy sees her, and the pair make a final, fierce grab for the prize.
At La Prairie, the boundaries of innovation are constantly being pushed, the potency of caviar science is always being enhanced and new realms of its potential are perpetually being explored. With an infusion of Caviar Premier, the latest caviar incarnation developed by La Prairie scientists, the eye becomes the focus of La Prairie’s Swiss science. Caviar’s full lifting potential is harnessed for the first time to revive, raise and redefine the gaze.
La Prairie introduces Skin Caviar Eye Lift, the first eye-opening serum for the whole eye area, including brows – the gentle yet effective answer to eye lifting and firming concerns. Skin Caviar Eye Lift is a potent combination of two formulas enriched with Caviar Premier and La Prairie’s Exclusive Cellular Complex, which uses cutting-edge biotechnological research to give new life and energy back to the very cells where beauty is born.
The innovation that defines Skin Caviar Eye Lift is not limited to its cutting-edge formula. Inspired by the vial design of Skin Caviar Liquid Lift and its visible caviar beads, this latest eye area treatment is an homage to the potency and indulgence of the La Prairie’s iconic gold caviar beads. With a press of the activating pump, the two formulas – one encapsulated in caviar beads, the other in an innovative tourmaline-pink gel-cream emulsion, each housed in separate chambers to maintain their purity – are drawn up to a patent- pending mechanism that freshly blends them with each use. The result is a delightfully textured serum that melts into skin with a refreshing touch and an immediate tensing sensation.
Skin Caviar Eye Lift brings together audacious science, cutting-edge technology and the indulgence of caviar in one elevated creation for the eyes.
The results are simply unprecedented. Using innovative algorithms specifically developed for the study of Skin Caviar Eye Lift’s data, the scientists at La Prairie found that with regular use, over time the eyes are opened while the eye contours and eyebrows appear redefined. The upper lids look tightened while crow’s feet appear visibly reduced. Lower lids appear smoothed and under-eye bags and puffiness look diminished. With daily use, the complete eye area appears lifted and firmed. The gaze is raised, revived, redefined – reawakened with a new appearance, with a new perspective.
The Skin Caviar eye area ritual begins with perfectly clean skin. A few drops of Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex helps sooth and prepare the eye area for the treatments to follow.
Gently pressing on the pump of Skin Caviar Eye Lift activates the blending mechanism and releases a single dose. Starting at the inner corner of the eye, the silky formula is dotted along the eyelid crease to the outer corner. As the dabbing gesture continues along the eye’s contours, a pleasant lifting sensation takes place, adding a delightful moment of indulgence to the morning or evening skincare ritual.
Follow with Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream to complete the Skin Caviar eye area ritual for an indulgent experience that puts the eyes in focus.
Volume Disturbia, the new Givenchy mascara, embodies this pure freedom.
Bravely ignoring norms, Volume Disturbia was created by Nicolas Degennes, Artistic Director for Make-up and Colour, to enhance all kinds of beauty, all genders, all styles. No a prioris, no diktats.
One thing is certain: with just one sweep, this mascara will leave you with crazy curved lashes and breathtaking volume which you can adapt to be as extreme as you please.
With Volume Disturbia, beauty is being yourself!
We can sum it up in one word: excess. Volume Disturbia’s glide-on texture leaves lashes with a breathtaking curl, increasing volume by 41% with just one sweep, and promises record 24-hour hold.
Enriched with vitamin E which boasts protective properties, this mascara can be applied, then re-applied as often as you want without clumping. Create your own personalised look, without constraints or limits.
The formula’s prowess is maximised by an unprecedented brush, exclusive to Givenchy: a hollow silicone cylindrical applicator with micro-bristles, which holds just the right amount of product and applies it precisely and evenly, from the root to the tip.
Intensely pigmented, Volume Disturbia comes in two shades: intense black and provocative red. In both cases, the lashes flaunt such extreme volume that it can be rather disconcerting…
A tip from Nicolas Degennes: “For controlled application, remove any excess product from the brush to create volume, lash by lash definition, from the very first sweep. Then, load the lashes with as much product as you want for extreme volume.”
Everything about Volume Disturbia mascara is different. Even its design is unprecedented.
Its original look with a bold metallic red tone is hard to miss. The colour is made even more vibrant by the textured finish of the studs, symbols of Givenchy style, which adorn the entire tube.
It features a vertical Givenchy signature, while the iconic 4Gs are stamped at the top of the tube. It serves as a reminder that daring to be different has always been a part of the brand’s DNA.
Tom Ford presents the TOM FORD PRIVATE BLEND WHITE SUEDE COLLECTION. Three distinct fragrances inspired by the endless possibilities of one of the most important elements in perfumery: the musk.
Packaged in a similarly lighter fashion, the White Suede Collection is bottled in clear glass with white lids, a stark contrast to the dark glass lids used for Ford’s other scents. The limited-edition collection also includes three lipsticks and an eyshadow squad.
“My intention was to rely on the true beauty of musk, which is not heavy or ‘dirty’ at all, but does have a deep, imposing softness. The scent of pure musk is reminiscent of the scent of bare skin, ” says Tom Ford. “What I have found is that there is such a range of shades and tones in the musk family that a single fragrance cannot express its character.”
The White Suede Collection symbolizes the many facets of musk expressed by three fragrances; White Suede, Jasmine Musk and Mask Pure – contemporary interpreting the strong yang energy of the South with harmonious balance and atmospheric softness. Inspired by its history in the highlands around China, the luxuriously addictive musk in these three fragrances evokes the texture and feel around their notes in their lightest composition. The result is three distinct fragrances, each of which has its own unique character by sending a powerful message of bold desire.
Wild, charming and irresistible; for Tom Ford Leather and Suede have a powerfully addictive pull. In this elegant musk fragrance, he captures the primal essence of these supple, sensual materials, giving them beautiful new dimension with a surprising musk medley that is heightened with velvety rose and warm amber.
Part of Tom Ford’s Private Blend White Musk Collection, Jasmine Musk is an intoxicating mix of heady florals, ylang and jasmine, infused with notes of smooth vanilla, earthy patchouli and sensuous musk to create this captivating and seductive musk that has become a favourite of both men and women.
Musk Pure is a truly seductive fragrance, part of Tom Ford’s Private Blend White Suede Collection, its skilfully blended notes of sparkling citrus, fresh florals, smooth beeswax and alluring musk combine to create this transcendent fragrance that captures the essence of youthful sensuality.
The collection features three striking Lip Colors, inspired by the magnificent feel of the White Suede Collection. The Lip Colors White Suede, Jasmine Musk, and Musk Pure seduce giving a sensual, creamy and neutral effect.
Inspired by the sublime essence of the fragrances, the White Suede Collection debuts a new Eye Quad of soft, sophisticated shadows that harness the stimulating warmth of musk. An eyeshadow quad designed with four complementary shades to achieve multiple looks.
