LAURA MERCIER
Create a perfectly sculpted face with new palettes from Laura Mercier, allowing you to play with light and shadow to enhance every dimension of your face.
The Flawless Contouring Palette ($69) features five shades – three matte contouring colours and two highlights – in the creamiest of formulas. Enhanced with jojoba treated pigments for richness, pearl luster pigments for a dewy glow, and cross polymers to minimise creasing post-application, the cream formula blends beautifully for a natural and flawless finish.
If soft luminosity is your obsession, the Candleglow Luminizing Palette ($69) will satisfy your cravings. Inspired by the soft, romantic twinkling of candles at dusk, this light-infused palette will help you to achieve that perfect glow. Two highlighting powders in a silky, ultra-lightweight formula capture light and softly diffuse it on the skin, refining the appearance of the complexion. The four versatile eye colours in the palette brighten the eyes with a delicate wash of shimmer that won’t crease, keeping the romance in the air wherever you are.

The Wonder Cream ($24.95) is an ultra-rich cream to calm irritated skin conditions including eczema and dermatitis, thanks to Calendula C02 (an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial ointment), shea butter, Vitamin E, and Coconut, Pomegranate Seed and Rosehip Oils. The Natural Nappy Balm ($19.95) soothes and protects those tiny bottoms from nappy and heat rashes. Enriched with Zinc Oxide, Shea Butter and Pomegranate Seed Oil, this balm will create a long-lasting barrier on your baby’s delicate skin without restricting its ability to breathe.
The cute monochromatic packaging of Chi Khi bare reflects the same aesthetic as Chi Khi Mini, the children’s clothing line launched by Natalie. Chi Khi ensures that your baby is happy and comfortable, all the while looking as chic as you.
