ZADIG & VOLTAIRE: introduces GIRLS CAN SAY ANYTHING

ZADIG & VOLTAIRE introduces its new feminine fragrance Girls Can Say Anything.
#GIRLSCAN... A new revolution. Freedom to act. Freedom of speech. A clear sign of the times. Today, people can say what they think. Great taste, but spiteful remarks. While the Zadig woman does whatever she likes, the Voltaire woman proclaims whatever is on her mind. Without restraint. Without censorship. Without inhibition.
Girls Can Say Anything is a fragrance that encourages freedom of speech and emancipation, through a smile. The fragrance plays around with convention and interweaves traditionally masculine and feminine style, blurring boundaries.
 A fragrance with real personality! Once again, Quentin Bisch plays a daring hand, presenting a new fougère with floral tones and tender almond accents. It’s a mover and shaker with no mincing of words: free and multi-faceted, floral and woody, radiant with softness. This cult neo-fougère by #GIRLSCAN reflects that same signature: a minimalist lavender opening yields to geranium facets, oak moss and tonka. Floral, intense, smooth. An aldehyde breeze then brings shimmers of rose oxide.
This concentration of energy comes in an iconic bottle inspired by the bottles of water that are handed out at fashion shows, with crystalline lines.
GIRLS CAN SAY ANYTHING is available as 30ml, 50ml and 90 ml.

“With GIRLS CAN SAY ANYTHING I want to remind women that 
they have the right to speak out and say what they think every single day, 
and that’s the very essence of my new fragrance. 
We can do what we want, and now I want to proclaim loud 
and clear that we can say what we want as well. Let’s give women a mouthpiece, 
the courage to speak out without restraint, 

without limitations. That’s true Girl Power. #GirlsCan spray the word!”
 Cecilia Bonstrom – Artistic Director Zadig&Voltaire

Hublot presents the colourful achievement of green SAXEM for the Big Bang MP-11.

Hublot is delighted to present the colourful achievement of green SAXEM for the Big Bang MP-11.
Having made a huge investment in the industrialisation of sapphire the most difficult material to produce in several colours (transparent, black, yellow, blue and red), to have the quantity necessary to create its models, and given the impossibility of offering an emerald green in this material, Hublot has now explored new avenues. 
Today, the brand is able to take a new approach to the ultra-technical and contemporary design of the MP-11 model by shaping its case in an innovative material never before used in watchmaking. Endowed with a deep green that can compete with the finest emeralds, SAXEM combines peerless resistance with a brilliance that comes close to that of a diamond. Within this fully transparent case beats a manual-winding manufacture calibre with an exceptional 14-day power reserve ensured by seven barrels that can be seen from the dial side.
With this new Big Bang MP-11, Hublot once more asserts its regal mastery of innovation, at both a technical level and in terms of aesthetics.

SHISEIDO introduces WASO YAKUMIX

Inspired by washoku, or traditional Japanese food culture, SHISEIDO introduced WASO skincare in 2017. WASO fuses natural goodness with cutting-edge science and technology. Customizable, playful, and accessible, the range includes products that strengthen skin with continuous use. 

SHISEIDO introduce its two latest rescue innovations: Eye Opening Essence and Poreless Matte Primer. Ready to awaken tired-looking eye areas, minimize shine, and smooth pores.

Used as both seasoning for traditional Japanese dishes and treatment thanks to its many health benefits, yakumi refers to a condiment that creates a complex flavor experience. Similar to yakumi that are used to enhance and customize a meal to each person’s liking, the two new rescue products dubbed “yakumix” by SHISEID can be added to any existing routine to support and optimize skin benefits. 

WASO EYE OPENING ESSENCE

The unique, snow-like texture inspired by momijioroshi gives an instant cooling sensation that improves the look of tired eyes. The fast-absorbing formula in addition to helping reduce the appearance of puffiness delivers a fresh burst of moisture. Much like the classic Japanese condiment, you only a small amount of this essence to feel the results. A refreshing and youthful scent adds to the energizing experience.

The Eye Opening Essence thanks to clarity boosting agent and color correcting pearl agent  address dullness and improve the appearance of dark circle. While Zingiberaceae extract and Carrot Root Protoplast contribute to healthy-looking skin.

WASO PORELESS MATTE PRIMER

The intensive, green-tinted primer absorbs excess oil and minimizes the appearance of pores for a beautifully matte complexion. Just like wasabi, a spicy yakumi that draws out umami (flavor), it really only takes a little bit of this primer to reduce shine and give you wonderful long lasting results. A simple and crisp scent adds to the refreshing experience.

Watercress Moisturizing Extract derived from a perennial plant belonging to the same family as wasabi is a nutrientand mineral-rich plant contains folic acid, potassium, iron, and vitamins A, C, and E. This extract helps to make skin smooth and even while Pore Refining Agent, a peptide consisting of two amino acids alleviates damage from unsaturated fatty acids and helps to minimize the appearance of pores.

Oil Absorbing Powder absorbs excess sebum immediately upon application in order to help keep skin comfortably matte for hours.

 Use it as the last step in your morning routine or before applying foundation, squeeze a small amount onto your fingertip and thinly apply to the T-zone and other areas of the face prone to visible pores and shine. To enhance the primer’s effects, layer it over your foundation.
