It's that time of the year again, where we all crack out the Wellington boots, pretend the weather is higher than 18 degrees Celsius and pour glitter all over ourselves for no apparent reason.

Yes, I'm talking about festival season. With the planet in a state of climate disaster, it makes perfect sense why a growing number of festivals are banning glitter across the world.

Glitter takes years to break down, like plastic and other similar materials, but that doesn't mean you can't find amazing biodegradable versions for all your summer fun plans.

Inglot is celebrating 10 glorious years in the cosmetics business by making numerous new announcements, and their first one has us gasping with the excitement.

As well as creating new loyalty cards, a ten-year anniversary palette, a partnership with retail giant Next, collaborating with top influencer Terrie McEvoy, Ciara McKeown and Lucy Fitz, they're rolling out the brand in a number of pharmacies.

Burke’s Pharmacy in Naas, McElhinney’s Dept Store in Ballybofey, Co. Donegal and McCauley’s Pharmacy in Carlow are included in the roll-out, after the brand joined one of Ireland's biggest online beauty retailers; Cloud 10.

Now the brand, which was brought to Ireland in 2009, are bringing out their new 'Minis' collection; 8 Mini Lip Satins, 10 Mini HD Foundations and 4 Brand New Mini ‘Glow On’ Highlighters.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by (@inglotireland) on

The new concept minis are the beauty brand's eighth announcement as part of their Inglot10 campaign, and thank Goddess it's payday because we want ALL of these.

They're the first in the global brand's launch into the world of travel-size make-up products, and range from just €6 to €9. Heaven help us, we can't be stopped from buying them all.

The Minis Collection officially launches today (Wednesday, July 31) across all Inglot stores nationwide, and on their website here.

‘Glow On’ Mini Highlighter

The brand new, intensively pigmented 'Glow On' Gel Highlighters come in four, radiant shades and are perfect for illuminating your beautiful skin this summer.

Achieve that dewy 'strobed'' lighting effect with the gorgeous highlighter, priced at just €9. The 3D metallic highlight look you'll create won't let you down, day or night.

You can use the 'Glow On' Gel Highlighters under or over make-up, and all over your body. They also fit easily into your purse for those nights on the dancefloor, so they're like a mini best pal in your bag.

Mini HD Foundation

Inglot's record-breaking, bestselling high-definition foundation is now available in mini form, and we couldn't be happier.

The brand's infamously long-lasting, imperfection-concealing foundation is every beauty guru's dream purchase, and now the mini foundations come in 10 shades.

They're also suitable for all skin types, so whether you're dry or oily-skinned, these are for you. Considering they're €9, they're pretty much for everyone.

Mini Lip Satin Lipsticks

 

Inglot's creamy, soft mini satin lipsticks are ideal for holiday-wear this summer.

Rich in emollients and special ingredients, the lippies have a velvety smooth finish. They'll leave your lips fuller and more moisturised than ever, how can we say no?

Mini Lip Satins sell at only €6, so we're officially buying the entire range.

We were already obsessed with Bleach London before they rebranded their packaging as 100 percent recycled cardboard and eco-friendly materials.

Honestly, their vegan formulas give us the best colours in hair as well as makeup, while maintaining a conscience.

Every since their sustainably-focused packaging rebrand, we've become unhealthily addicted to the energetic cosmetic company, and you will be too.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by  (@coleoftheball) on

Co-founders of the brand, Alex Brownsell and Sam Campbell, made absolutely sure that their relaunched packaging was made from environmentally sound materials.

In our humble opinion, every makeup, skincare and cosmetics brand needs to follow suit. The vast amount of waste and plastic in landfill coming from the industry is mind-blowing.

The lads and their waste-not attitude led to the brand's customisation palettes.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by (@ohshipitsjess) on

These palettes come in a magnetic box and allow you to buy individual eyeshadow colours and collect them. The boxes come in a larger size for home use and a smaller one for on-the-go.

We're all guilty of only using one or two eyeshadow colours out of an entire palette, so why not curate your own kit and simply refill it when it runs out? Simples.

Bleach London 'Metallic Louder Powder', €5.60 (£5)

This translates to less waste, and a more sustainable beauty regimen. Bleach London's incredible hair range has also been totally vegan since 2017.

The company have a strictly cruelty-free ethos and are PETA-approved as part of their Beauty Without Bunnies programme. They're essentially magicians of beauty.

'Metallic Louder Powders' by Bleach London are available online for the affordable price of €5.60.

Many of us feel just that little bit too self-conscious if we step outside the house without covering up those bags under our eyes and the latest spots to emerge on our face.

We're not alone, according to a new survey undertaken by Carter Beauty Cosmetics. The brand, started by beauty mogul Marissa Carter, has taken the industry by storm.

Apparently, 86 percent of women feel that they need concealer, and a whopping 69 percent of women aren't confident that they know how to use concealer correctly. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by  (@carterbeautycosmetics) on

If this many women feel naked without their daily dose of concealer to match their makeup regimen, what's our best product recommendation?

Carter Beauty's new Out of Sight Concealer Palette is only €7.95, so if you're on a budget this is the ideal concealer for banishing dark circles, blemishes and redness.

The palette is an absolute game-changer, and a must-have for any beauty lover looking to hide any tell-tale bags. Finding that flawless base has never been so easy.

It has six pans of high coverage yet light, creamy concealers to brighten those eyes to get ready for smizing (*cough* Tyra Banks *cough*).

According to Marissa Carter, the business boss herself;

“Concealer is a make-up bag must have. With shades such as Cloaked, Obscured, Masked, Hidden and Disguised, the Out of Sight Concealer palette does exactly what it says on the tin – bags be gone.”

We can think of a few times when the 'Panda Eyes' were in play, be it from a hangover, exam season or just leftover mascara wreaking havoc.

season 3 friends GIF

Seeing as so many people aren't sure exactly how to use concealer in the best manner, we've got some tips assembled from Carter Beauty to assist you:

First of all, always apply your foundation first, and concealer second. When you apply concealer before foundation you’ll find that you remove most of it during the foundation application.

Next, draw a triangle with the base under your eye with the point towards the cheek. Intensify eyeshadow colour and avoid fallout by priming your lid with concealer before applying eye make-up.

Use your ring finger to apply concealer. Seeing as it's your weakest, you'll apply just the right amount of pressure without pulling at your delicate eye skin.

Opposites attract: Orange or peach tones such as Disguised and Obscured from the Out of Sight Concealer Palette will cancel out the blue and purple shadows that cause under-eye circles.

Top the orange or peach tones with a cover-up that matches your skin. If you think your concealer looks cakey in fine lines, cut a tissue in half and use it to remove excess oil.

makeup GIF

Hopefully the number of people who don't fully understand the correct method of using concealer will be reduced now, thanks to Carter Beauty. Utter Queens. 

Remember, you don't need concealer to feel your most beautiful self. Think of it as an empowerment tool that gives you control over your under-eye-bags, instead of the bags controlling your self-esteem.

The excitement surrounding Lady Gaga's beauty line has been building up for MONTHS, and now she has finally released the first images of her brand's products, which you can pre-order on Amazon.

HAUS LABORATORIES has launched worldwide, and we've got a sneaky peek at the three new money-makers; 'RIP' Lip Liner, 'Le Riot' Lip Gloss and 'Glam Attack' liquid-to-powder shimmer.

The photoshop-free images are clearing our skin and breathing life into our lungs, basically. At 3am this morning, the collection became available for pre-order and the world has ceased all other activity to buy.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by (@hauslabs) on

The launch coincides with Amazon's Prime Day, and the brand is currently only available to Prime members (but you can sign up for a free trial now just to see Gaga's goods).

The maximalist make-up products represent everything we know and love about the iconic Lady Gaga.

HAUS including six themed collections, each featuring her three core products and all-over colour. It's simply divine, if we do say so ourselves.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by (@hauslabs) on

HAUS LABORATORIES is releasing nine exclusive, limited edition duos of the liners, glosses and all-over-shimmer powders, but you'd want to get them now before the offer ends.

Unfortunately, the product won’t be available until September. However, by pre-ordering it, you’re guaranteed to be one of the first people to try the insane line when it finally ships over to you.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by  (@hauslabs) on

Each and every product is vegan and cruelty-free. The products will be available on Hauslabs.com but also on Amazon. "Just like with my music, I wanted everyone to have access to it," Gaga told Allure.

HAUS LABORATORIES products were all co-created by Gaga and her incredible make-up artist Sarah Tanno, the brand's Global Artistry Director.

Each three piece set, or 'haus,' will be €43.40, and are named; Haus of Chained Ballerina, Haus of Goddess, Haus of Rockstar, Haus of Dynasty, Haus of Metalhead and Haus of Rose Bitch. YAS.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by  (@hauslabs) on

The limited edition duo sets are priced at €32.35 (shimmer powders), €28.92 (lip glosses) and €23.36 (lip liners).

When the Oscar-winner spoke to WWD, she claimed she's making these products for everyone; "I see something happening in the world where I think a lot of people feel a pressure to look a certain type of way.

"Either to look like someone else or to be so precise with their makeup and look so airbrushed and social media to fit in and to be considered beautiful, and I really want to take that idea, and I want to smash it," she added.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by (@hauslabs) on

Gaga is open about the fact that make-up allowed her to express herself while living on the Lower East Side of Manhattan following her choice to drop out of college;

"Make-up changed my life," she told Allure. "I never felt beautiful, and I still have days that I don't feel beautiful. All of the insecurities that I've dealt with my whole life from being bullied when I was younger, they come right back up to bite me.

"Then I put make-up on, and before I know it, I feel this superhero within. It gives me those wings to fly. I'm not saying that make-up is the only thing that does that, but it did that for me."

There were highly concerning rumours about their products containing traces of asbestos in 2017, and the fears have now been confirmed by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

The presence of asbestos was identified in three of the brand's products after an investigation, and the JoJo Cosmetic Kit has now been pulled from stores..

Yes, the place where we all bought our first iteration of makeup (blue eyeshadow, anyone else? Sheer lip gloss?) has actual asbestos in a YouTube star's range of cosmetics.

JoJo Siwa is a Nickelodeon star and Youtuber who has collaborated with Claire's on numerous occasions.

Defined by the British Lung Foundation as “a group of minerals made up of microscopic fibres,” asbestos has been shown to damage lungs and possibly cause cancer when breathed in.

Claire’s told Today Style that the palette has been recalled “out of an abundance of caution after testing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration indicated the possible presence of trace amount of asbestos fibres in the powder eyeshadow element of the kit.”

A Claire's spokesperson maintained that the company “stands behind the safety of this product and all other Claire’s cosmetic items as such small trace amounts are considered acceptable under European and Canadian cosmetic safety regulations.”

They also pointed out that “Claire’s moved to talc-free cosmetic manufacturing,” in 2018 to “prevent any further concerns about talc contamination.”

Small particles of the contaminated eyeshadow in the JoJo Cosmetic Kit can become airborne when swept onto lids. Full refunds will be offered to anyone who bought the kit, at least.

The future of the brand is now being called into question, with rumours of sinking sales as high street stores struggle to keep up with major stores like H&M and Primark. The company filed for bankruptcy in March.
