French Skincare Revolution
Binome Wellness Concepts Inc. proudly introduces Biologique Recherche to the Philippines, offering exclusive distribution of the French luxury skincare brand.
Co-founders Philippe and Gina Bartholomi bring the brand’s unique methodologies, potent formulations, and natural skincare philosophy to the local beauty scene.
Gina Bartholomi explained, “Biologique Recherche’s personalized methodology sets the brand apart. Our skin is unique and so it requires formulations and treatments that are customized to Skin Instant or the snapshot of skin at any given moment. Each Skin Instant has its own set of protocols.”
One of the brand’s key strengths lies in its high concentrations of plant, biomarine, and biological extracts.
Additionally, Gina shared, “I’m passionate about bringing Biologique Recherche to the Philippines because I’ve personally witnessed its efficacy.”
The brand carefully crafts its products to preserve the integrity of their ingredients, using cold manufacturing processes to maintain high quality active ingredients, averaging up to 95%.
Ageless Elixir
Dior has launched its new anti-aging night cream, Dior Prestige Le Baume de Minuit, as part of their Dior Prestige line, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of nighttime skincare.
The cream features the Rose de Granville, harvested under the stars in the Dior Rose Garden for the first time, to capture specific nighttime molecules.
The formula includes Rosapeptide De Minuit, a blend of Dior Prestige Rosapeptide and madecassic acid, a midnight rose molecule.
This complex, at the core of Dior Prestige Le Baume de Minuit, helps realign the skin’s nocturnal rhythm and enhance its rejuvenating functions, aiding in repairing daytime damage.
Dior Prestige Le Baume de Minuit is the initial night cream infused with Midnight Rosapeptide. It’s designed to mend daily wear and tear on the skin, ensuring a more impactful night care routine.
The result is skin that is denser, luminous, revitalized, and visibly rested.
Nighttime is a pivotal period for skin vitality. Similarly, roses adhere to a nocturnal biological clock, producing crucial molecules like madecassic acid.
However, with age, 80% of the skin’s clock synchronizers become dysregulated, leading to accelerated skin aging.
To counteract this phenomenon, Dior Prestige harnesses the potent properties of the Rose de Granville, particularly enriched at night.
Following two decades of research, Dior has unveiled the secrets of this potency, unveiling a unique nighttime molecular profile that shields against nocturnal aggressors.
Timeless Beauty
Estee Lauder has introduced the Advanced Night Repair serum, which actively supports the skin’s natural repair and protection cycle around the clock.
During the night, the serum utilizes an exclusive 1-in-60-million Night Peptide to enhance visible renewal and firmness, while Hyaluronic Acid locks in moisture.
Throughout the day, the serum provides 8-hour anti-oxidant protection, helping to shield the skin from the visible effects of environmental pollutants.
This serum boasts seven powerful actions for nighttime renewal. It includes reducing the appearance of lines, enhancing firmness, promoting even skin tone, strengthening the skin, providing hydration, boosting radiance. It also offers anti-oxidant protection.
Additionally, it’s particularly suited for addressing various signs of aging, including visible age prevention with anti-oxidant protection. As well as loss of firmness, tone, lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, as well as dullness and dehydration (featuring Hyaluronic Acid).
Style Luminary
Max Mara unveiled its Spring Summer 2024 Collection. It draws inspiration from the Land Army women of the 1940s in England, who worked together to cultivate the land and sustain the nation.
The Land Army emphasized education and creativity, with the women encouraged to engage in literary pursuits and creative endeavors.
Vita Sackville-West’s influence, particularly her garden at Sissinghurst, is evident in the collection, reflected in chintzy prints featuring full-blown blooms in sophisticated black on beige.
The collection embodies a blend of utility and glamour, drawing from the Land Girls’ workwear classics such as jodhpurs and siren suits.
These inspirations are translated into modern utility clothing by Max Mara, featuring pockets and pouches large enough for a potting trowel, reinforced stitching, and sturdy suspenders.
The garments come in an array of pretty colors, reminiscent of the flowers in a midsummer cottage garden.
They also come in sandy neutrals that add a touch of understated luxury to trench coats, military-style jackets, and rompers.
Backless sundresses inspired by gardeners’ aprons and triple-layered chiffon gowns with gaberdine straps transition the tough chic aesthetic from day to evening wear.
While the collection pays homage to pastoral themes, it targets the modern urban woman with a passion for horticulture.
The urban landscape is increasingly becoming a garden, and Max Mara acknowledges this shift with designs that cater to the city girl.
The collection includes high-heeled strappy sandals designed for the sidewalk rather than the garden, reflecting the modern woman’s lifestyle.
Max Mara’s land girl look is a nod to the contemporary woman. It’s an embrace of the new wave of urban gardening and modern city living.
The Epitome of Sophistication
Givenchy has unveiled its Spring-Summer 2024 women’s wear campaign, featuring American model Amelia Gray in photographs by Kacper Kasprzyk.
Amelia Gray is renowned for her natural Californian warmth. She embodies the graceful and feminine glamour of the collection’s sharply tailored statement pieces.
The campaign highlights precisely cut, ample overcoats in black, ivory, or royal blue, paired with light knits and crisp miniskirts. For evening wear, Givenchy presents a darkly romantic black lace gown.
The collection’s star accessories include the Voyou handbag, featuring oversized textured silver buckles.
It also includes the Voyou shoulder flap bag in black leather and the Voyou chain. It features a redesigned gradient-link chain strap for a sophisticated day-to-evening look.
Additionally, the latest sculptural Cut-Out bag with gold hardware and a chain strap showcases Givenchy’s unique craftsmanship.
Completing the ensemble are the House’s iconic Shark Lock boots and Giv-Cut sunglasses in gold or black metal finishes.
