Why is it that ultra-prestige skincare brands are Why is it that ultra-prestige skincare brands are launching anti-aging serums and creams formulated around rose ingredients? That’s because genus Rosa has one of the most complex genomes in the plant world.  Roses boast multiple chromosome sets and have been proven to have remarkable repairing qualities in human skin. They have a very high antioxidant content (vitamins A, C and E) which neutralize free radicals, boosts collagen production and intensely hydrates fine lines. But what is most promising is research that shows roses have DNA-repairing properties.

Sisley Paris is tapping Black Rose with a new concentrate that contains an anthocyanin concentrate, the result of 100 petal extraction tests. (Anthocyanins are natural, water-soluble pigments found in deep red, purple and blue plants that act as potent antioxidants in skincare.) The concentrate balances antioxidants with ingredients to boost radiance such as lemon extract and red vine extract. #davelackiebeauty #sisleyparis
‘Tis the season for incredibly beautiful bronzing ‘Tis the season for incredibly beautiful bronzing palettes. Too Faced has just unveiled its Sun Bunny Blushing Bronzer that boasts an eye-popping motif on the powder. This dual-shade palette delivers bronzer, blush and highlighter all in one compact. The silky-smooth, sheer powder formula looks naturally luminous. #davelackie #toofacedbronzer #toofaced
Dior has created the signature nail polish colour Dior has created the signature nail polish colour for spring/summer 2026. It’s called ‘Sunset’ and it is a warm bronzed-sandy shade that was actually inspired by an iconic fashion piece by the House of Dior. The nail colour formula is infused with extracts of peony and an extract of pistachio to nourish nails. It promises a glossy finish and a gel effect hold. #davelackiebeauty
Fans of niche perfumery brand Le Labo will be happ Fans of niche perfumery brand Le Labo will be happy to learn there is a new addition to the brand’s classic collection. Violette 30 is an homage to the white violet flower, an amber-floral fragrance for her or him that opens with aldehydic brightness alongside violet and rose. What’s interesting is the addition of warm, spicy notes such as saffron, cumin and incense creating a contrast to the floral ingredients. The white tea helps smooth the impression. The dry down features a resinous, woody character thanks to cedar, guaiac wood, amber and patchouli. Skillfully blended. #davelackiebeauty #lelaboviolette30 #lelabo

Fans of Clarins’ award-winning Extra-Firming Cream Fans of Clarins’ award-winning Extra-Firming Cream will be excited to learn there is a new formulation that contains SPF 15 while maintaining the fresh, light, non-sticky texture. This is actually really difficult to do in the labs. SPF is notoriously challenging to work with in skincare formulation when trying to create a light texture. Clarins has achieved it. This cream works to re-densify the skin, smooths wrinkles, evens out the complexion and deeply hydrates. What makes it extra special is it reduces the effects of hormonal changes related to age, particularly those in menopause thanks to organic harungana extract and organic gorse. These plant extracts have been proven to effectively address all these concerns. Just remember with a product like this to use it daily and give it time to show best results. You’ll want to give it eight weeks of daily use to really work its magic. #davelackiebeauty @clarinscanada #clarins #skincare
Such a great discussion this morning with @annette Such a great discussion this morning with @annette.hamm about sensitive skin. Here's some helpful info:

Sensitive skin is the occurrence of unpleasant skin reactions in response to stimuli that normally should not provoke these sensations. Hyper-reactive skin can cause sensations like burning, stinging, tingling, itching, prickling sensations or tightness, often accompanied by redness, inflammation or dryness. Sensitive skin is caused by weakened skin barrier that allows irritants to enter and moisture to escape. The skin condition is frequently triggered by cosmetics, sun exposure, environmental factors (heat/cold) and stress.

If you suffer from sensitive skin, try these tips:
Moisturize: sensitive skin can often be caused by dryness, which reduces the skin’s ability to deal with external factors. Hydrating your skin well can give it more ability to deal with sensitivity by supporting the skin barrier.
Use minimal products with fewer ingredients
Patch test: always test a new product on a small area
Ask a pharmacist if you have a question about any ingredients in a product
Avoid irritants: choose fragrance-free and hypoallergenic formulas
Strengthen skin barrier: use hydrating, gentle products to repair the skin’s protective layer

Here is what skincare testing terms mean:
Hypoallegernic – means a product is designed to cause fewer allergic reactions compared to others.
Allergy tested – a diagnostic procedure, usually a skin prick, patch or blood test, used to identify specific substances (allergens) that cause immune system reaction
Ophthalmologist tested – means a cosmetic product has been evaluated by a medical eye doctor to ensure it is safe, non-irritating and compatible with the delicate eye area.
Fragrance free – means the product does not contain added scents, whether synthetic or natural (like essential oils)
Non-comedogenic – means the skincare product is specially formulated not to cause blocked pores.
Dermatologist tested – means a product was tested on human skin under the supervision of a dermatologist to check for potential irritation, allergy or safety issues. #davelackiebeauty #sensitiveskin

It’s a limited edition piece called the Sunkissed Healthy Glow Powder Face and Cheeks. It was designed by Creative Director Gregoris Pyrpylis who draws inspiration from the shifting, flamboyant colors of a sunset – from a scorching day to a balmy night. The luxurious powders warm and illuminate the complexion with a subtle, faintly gold shimmer. Made in Italy. Beautiful! #davelackiebeauty
You can thank the global trend to stronger men’s f You can thank the global trend to stronger men’s fragrance concentrations to teen guys in Europe. It was this region where consumer starting asking for longer-lasting, stronger fragrances. Gen Z isn’t afraid to invest in a good-quality fragrance, but they want it to last all day and all night. Fragrance houses and fashion designer brands responding immediately by composing ultra-concentrated elixirs, eaux des parfums intense and parfum editions. The essential oil concentration in these scents went from 15% in the eau de toilette to 28% in the elixirs. One spritz of these fragrances lasts about 8 hours.

Italian fashion brand Giorgio Armani is upping the ante this month with a men’s fragrance that promises 24-hour long-lasting performance. It’s called Emporio Armani Stronger With You Powerfully and it is an amplified amber-vanilla fragrance for him that blends notes of cherry, mandarin orange, spices, lavender, amberwood, chestnut and vanilla. There is a smoky character to the chestnut and cherry accord that is addictive. This is a powerful scent that makes a bold statement. #davelackiebeauty #stongerwithyoupowerfully #mensfragrance
