SLIP Silk Pillowcase & Mask
According to experts, sleeping on silk has some major anti-ageing benefits, including reduction of friction and drag on skin around 40% – particularly beneficial for those experiencing loss of facial volume and elasticity. It allows skin to glide along the fabric vs physically wrinkling overnight, and is also significantly less absorbent than standard cotton pillowcases, meaning nighttime products won’t be instantly absorbed by your pillow instead of your skin. It is for this reason that silk pillowcases are being stocked by leading skin and dermatology clinics, and make the ideal gift for beauty junkies and skin rejuvenation patient alike. SLIP pure silk pillowcases are celebrating the lunar new year with their signature silk pillowcases and eye mask in divine red.
New OPI Shades
Celebrate the day’s signature regal shade with OPI’s two latest red hues. ‘COMO SE LLAMA?’, a deep burgundy red perfect for day and night, or ‘I LOVE YOU JUST BE-CUSCO’, a classic romantic red, both available in regular OPI lacquer and Infinite Shine 3-step system.
Benefit You’re a Lucky Star! Happiness Set
In regular Benefit fashion, this gift pack comes housed in jaw-droppingly adorable packaging perfect for the year of the pig. Three piggy gift packs are available; in pink, yellow or red, with combos of three products ranging from Gimme Brow and Porefessional to Benetint and Roller Lash.
