MATIERE PREMIERE unveils its striking flagship store in Covent Garden
We all have two things in common when it comes to fragrance: a weakness for French luxury and an appreciation for a scent that actually lasts. MATIERE PREMIERE brings both to its newly opened flagship in Covent Garden. Located at 31 King Street, the 708 sq ft boutique opened its doors on the 17th of…

The era of express facials: How to achieve glowing skin in minutes, not hours
Back when glass skin first caught our attention in the Western world (2017 – the year of Instagram stories and Beyoncé posting that now-iconic floral portrait to announce her pregnancy, for context), it came packaged as a meticulous 10-step routine we were meant to follow to the T. Remember those days? We still all want…

Sol de Janeiro just launched its new Rosa Charmosa line, and it works like a charm
If any brand can make rose scents feel appealing again, it’s Sol de Janeiro. Overused, often powdery, and usually tied to a more mature clientele (very much the opposite of Sol de Janeiro’s young crowd), rose isn’t an obvious choice for a brand best known for pistachio, caramel, and summer-coded body care.

The best rich creams for winter, from £14 to £200, tried and tested
Come the colder months, and suddenly your face is drier than your least favourite aunt’s personality on Christmas Eve (that one).
