Then the Hugo Boss Hugo Red Eau de Toilette 2-Piece Set (Travel Edition) will suit him perfectly. This fragrance was inspired by the contrast of hot and cold metal. Whilst red hot metal conveys a clear signal of danger, solid metal feels cool to the touch and offers a reassuringly solid strength. Hugo Red is a dynamic fragrance for the man who wants to unlock his daring side. Top notes of Grapefruit, heart notes of Rhubarb and base notes of Cedarwood & Hot Amber. Absolutely irresistible! 


So, enjoy the warmth in your heart and the delight in their faces this holiday season, when you give the perfect gifts!

Autumn’s beauty trends – dewy skin

When it comes to autumn 2016, the looks and trends are bold and very beautiful! One of the trends that never goes out of style is dewy, radiant skin. To achieve this most beautiful of looks, you can use a skin highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones and the cupids bow of your lips. Try Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder in Highlight-01 shade, for brightening, highlighting and perfecting your facial features. It combines with an ultra-smooth baked formula that provides natural color with soft radiance to the skin for a healthy, “bonne mine” glow.

Peachy eyelids and day-to-night lips

The autumn look that has stormed the runways and suits absolutely everyone is the peach-washed eyelid. Slather it on, and let it work hard for you, day and night. The look is pretty and trendy by day with a soft, pinky nude lip. Keep the peach on your lids and go straight to the evening do by swopping the lip shade for a dramatic, deep berry or crimson for the evening.

It’s worth getting a great quality peach colour, like the gorgeous M.A.C Cream Colour Base in rich coral. Its versatile and colour effects can be built up, so you can choose a subtle veil all the way through to a bold colour block, depending on the intensity of, and method of application. For your daytime look, the Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in “Poutrageous” glides on and drenches lips in sexy colour that is never sticky. 




Then, for your transition to glamour girl in the evening, you cannot go wrong with the gorgeous NARS lipstick shade Transeurope Express 1012. This rich, vivid shade will definitely get you noticed, and the long-wear finish won’t let you down as you party the night away! Conditioners and antioxidants hydrate, nourish and protect your lips for kissable perfection!

Smokin’ sexy eyes

And the eyes, let’s not forget the Autumn eyes! Black is back, in a big way, all around the eye for Autumn, smoky, sexy and mysterious! And to give it that very “now” edge? An unexpected swish of glitter to stay right on trend. It’s edgy and fun! If you are daring, get your glitter in royal blue. For a subtle and very beautiful glimmer, choose copper, rose or gold for your glitter fix!

Because everything is discounted on COSME-DE.COM, you may as well take the opportunity to invest in the best! You will never go wrong with a Chanel Ecriture De Chanel Eyeliner Pen in your makeup bag. Choose 10 Noir for the autumn eye. The Chanel liner is water-based, with a soft and supple felt-tip point that delivers a smooth, precise line every time. Special pigments ensure long wear and keep colour from “running”, so eyeliner always looks fresh. Despite the intense colour, the formula is gentle so it removes easily too. 
Hydration for Autumn

So, now you know your makeup is gorgeous and bang on trend, what about the rest of your autumn beauty routine? As the weather gets cooler and drier, it’s worth changing your skincare routine to include more in the way of moisturizing and nourishing products, like creams and oils for face and body. You might swop a gel wash for a hydrating cream cleanser, or a granular body exfoliater for one with oil in it to moisturize as you exfoliate and keep skin smooth.

Skin must be moisturized every day, so it’s worth investing in a rich moisturizer for body and face. Don’t forget your hands and feet, they still need attention in the dry, colder weather. And sunscreen is still a must, even if the sun itself is not making quite as much of an appearance these days!

Take the chance to try new things!

2016 Autumn Makeup Color Trend Part 1: Eyeshadow Palette

Keep It Subtle Or Swing Out With Bold Styles – It’s Up To You!
The autumn catwalks one and all were awash with exciting and delightful new makeup trends for autumn 2016. The skin was bare-looking and healthy, and the range of eye makeup looks absolutely astounding! The great thing about having such a range is that there is always going to be something that is totally “now” that is right for you. With modern takes on retro trends and great new ways of wearing colour, you are going to love updating your eye makeup this autumn.


Comebacks and Creative Firsts
The looks range from a simple, one colour sweep of terra cotta, orange or pink, to the 2016 version of the all-time classic and sexy smoky eye, to a sparkling blast of rock n’ roll chic with glam green and gold, exotic, bold rainbow looks to very bold blocks of blue, gorgeous minimalist 90’s looks revisited, and even further back in time, Twiggy lashes were featured too. Winged eyeliner swept up to new heights, coloured in with aubergine, and white highlights on the inner eye sockets made a comeback too.

Whether it’s an expressive halo of black shadow and liner, a proud pop of intense colour or a gentle and pretty wash of gorgeous bronze, chocolate and copper, there is definitely going to be a look (or many looks) that you will love this autumn.

The Ever-Seductive Smoky Eye
One of the looks that never quite seems to fade from fashion is the dark, sexy, smoky eye, so it makes sense to give this one a go and add it to your makeup repertoire (if you haven’t already.) Make the look yours by investing in the Christian Dior 5 Couleurs Couture Colours & Effects Eyeshadow Palette. This stunning, 5-colour kit gives a professional smoky eyes effect with a host of finishes, including matte, satiny, iridescent and ultra-shimmery. The quality of the eyeshadow is evident when you use it, it is extremely blendable and smooth with a “second skin” effect.




Grab a Variety of Looks in One Palette
To tap into the rock n’ roll look, the rainbow effect, as well as the aubergine wings, the natural one shade or the pretty coppery eyes, you can’t go wrong with the versatile palette available from Shu Uemura – aptly named “I love my Shu Shu Palette”, which you can achieve all these looks with this limited edition palette of 7 gorgeous shades, that can be used to be spot on with all the autumn trends! The 7 eye colours combine textures of pearl, metallic, iridescent, metallic and matte as well as a bonus “glow on pink” blush. Get yourself some fuchsia, pale pink, purple, eggplant, copper, dark green and lavender happiness and indulge the full spectrum of your creativity!



Blue-Eyed Bombshell

Spring and summer saw us all donning an elegant navy shadow, and blue is still the bomb in autumn, except the shade has moved on to a bolder, brighter blue. This is a great, fresh look with the pop of colour really making a statement. Make your statement an even better one with the awesome formulation of Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow that glides on and stays crease-proof and budge-proof all day long. What’s more, it doubles up as an eyeliner if you use the hard angle definer brush. Grab the “Blue My Mind” shade for a hard-working product and update your makeup look this autumn. 

So, move with the times and don’t be dictated too – choose the look that rocks your world and enjoy being you!

The Perfect Travel Kits for Your Summer Vacation

A summer vacation is the ultimate treat – a reward for all the hard work you have done throughout the year. A chance to retreat, relax, see and experience new places, people, food and fun. A chance to soak up some dazzling sunshine in exotic countries, with beautiful people!

Be Beauty-Wise

When packing, it’s worth planning ahead and being beauty-wise with what you take with. On the one hand, who needs a whole lot of extra baggage? On the other, you do not want to be caught out with an amazing party to go to, without all your favourite products that make you look and feel like the vacation belle of the ball!

I love beauty travel kits – products come in smaller sizes so you can still have all your favourites while you travel, without having to carry a suitcase that is bigger than you are! Travel kits are often beautifully packaged, and bring together everything you need to care for your skin, create flawless makeup looks and keep the pool or beachside body beautiful.

All eyes on you

Amazing eyes are the window to the soul, and the most unforgettable thing about a face! So two of my travel kit favourites are all about caring for and making up the eyes to look simply spectacular, eyes that will be remembered, long after the vacation has ended!

The skin around the eyes is delicate and needs extra special care to look smooth and clear of puffiness and dark circles. The revolutionary SK-ll Magnetic Eye Care Kit promises visibly less fine lines around the eyes within 10 days of use, and in this case, it delivers. The anti-aging kit contains Stempower Eye Cream, a potent formula that firms the skin around the eye, strengthens it and visibly reduces sagging and the appearance of wrinkles. A magnetic wand is included, the first of its kind in the world, that delivers the formula deeply into the skin, with three times the absorption power than if you were to simply use your finger. Boasting some serious science, the wand uses tri-magnetic technology and an innovative bi-polar magnetic micro array, to ensure the skin around your beautiful peepers is fresh, smooth and perfect! 

With the skin around the eyes looking youthful and luminous, it’s now time to enhance their natural beauty. You can have those “you have the most beautiful eyes” comments coming at you thick and fast when you follow the instructions on the Benefits “Big Beautiful Eyes” kit. It’s a real miracle worker, with a primer, an Alabaster pink base shadow, a cocoa shimmer contour shadow, and two precision brushes for perfect application. The kit also includes an illustrated, step by step makeup lesson leaflet, to guide you in the application of show-stopping eyes! This kit is the best for defined, contoured, exquisite eyes. 


The body beautiful

On holiday you might be soaking up some sun and exposing more skin than usual, so keeping your skin soft, smooth and supple is vital. The Clarins Body Care Collection has everything you need to exfoliate, moisturise and contour your body with the Tonic Body Treatment Oil. The Collection comes in a beautiful white bag, perfect to pop into your suitcase.


So, intrepid and beautiful traveller, make sure you get kitted out with some beauty treats next time you venture out on vacation!
