Just because the winters are upon us, we can’t forget to reapply our sunscreen. The Face Shop’s Therapy Vegan Sunscreen Stick has an SPF of 50+ with broad spectrum protection against UV rays. The formula also promises to apply smoothly and wash away easily.
The Lab by Naso captures the velvety essence of vanilla, the zesty kick of grapefruit and the strong notes of amber. This pocket-friendly perfume is sure to allow you to smell good on a budget.
Our favourite sunscreen brand has come out with a new probiotic moisturiser face cream that offers deep hydration for up to 72 hours and UV protection. Enriched with beneficial microbes, it has a lightweight, non-greasy consistency.

Kiko Milano’s newly launched eyebrow pencil has an angular tip that allows you to create precisely defined eyebrows. While the tip can be used to draw fine, hair-like strokes, the flat edge easily fills in sparse areas of the brows.
Kriti Sanon’s skincare brand, Hyphen has launched three variants of the Vitamin-Infused Peptide Lip Balm–two in flavours of Vanilla and Peach and one that offers an SPF of 30. The lip balm offers long-lasting hydration for 24 hours and works at repairing moisture barrier.

This viral pink serum by The Ordinary supports multiple skin barrier concerns and provides an immediate boost in skin hydration. It also has vitamin B12 in the mix which naturally gives the serum its signature pink colour and ironically, helps to reduce signs of redness.
Celebrity Makeup Artist, Namrata Soni’s brand Simply Nam has launched The Cosmic Glow Highlighter Duo in the shades Moon Glow and Star Glow. While the former is a lilac shimmer, the latter has a champagne undertone.
The milk_shake lifestyle Blow Dry Primer gives big, voluminous hair while protecting it against damage caused by heat-styling tools. The product also promises to reduce drying time and prevent colour fading. Not only this, it also acts as a UV filter to protect your hair from sun damage.
