WHAT IT IS: Margaret Dabbs London Nail Polish

WHY WE LIKE IT:At Vogue we’re always on the lookout for

nail lacquers that stay put and look cute while we multitask on

multiple issues. Our latest nail obsession is the Margaret Dabbs

London72-shade collection. The colours are inspired by the

British love for gardens and smell just as sweet (seriously, each

polish leaves behind a whif of wild roses!). The formula, created

by podiatrist Dabbs, heals and protects while it paints—Vitamin E

works to strengthen nails and wild rose botanical extracts reduce

inflammation and keep infections at bay. The polish is also

formaldehyde-, toluene- and DPB-free.

EDITOR’S CHOICE

LIGHTBULB

MOMENT

There’s a “lit from within” glow.

And then there’s this: skin that

looks like it’s been luminised by

a movie crew, courtesy a milky,

hydrating version ofArmani’s

iconic Maestro Foundation

( 4,300).

DRY CLEAN

ONLY

Ok, we all do it, or don’t

actually—wash our hair

after a glossy, voluminous

blowout and end up with

a ‘blah-out’. You know,

the limp, messy, greasy

mane. What you need at

that point is a super-

sopper. We’re currently

crushing on the EIMI Dry

Me Dry Shampoo from

Wella, because unless

you’re auditioning for

the remake ofBees Saal

Baad, talcum-powdered

roots and strands filled with

static just don’t cut it. If you

haven’t tried our second-day

hair saviour yet, here are

our top two reasons to love

dry shampoo:

1.Texture, texture, texture:

There’s nothing better than

dry shampoo to add texture

and give a not-so-fresh mane

a new lease of life. Just hold

at arm’s length, spritz, wait and

shake out.

2.Sexy bed head:Spritz your

roots with water (be frugal) and

then liberally spray on your dry

shampoo to go from limp to

va-va-voom volume!

CAN YOUR METABOLISM

GIVE YOU GREAT SKIN?

Lancôme sure seem to think so! Their new Énergie De Vie

skincare range fi nds its roots in the connection between

metabolism and skincare—they’ve referenced the Eastern

philosophy of Qi Se, which means metabolic harmony and

a balanced energy fl ow that lead to a luminous complexion.

Extracts from the roots of rhodiola, gentian and wild yam

balance, energise and nourish skin, leaving it radiant. If your

skin is oily or combination, try the Énergie de Vie Daily

Lotion-In-Gel, which hydrates and mattifi es. If you fall

on the drier side of the scale, the Énergie de Vie

Daily Cream is your skin’s best friend.

The Lancôme Énergie De Vie range is priced at 2,900 onwards
