Your South Wales Wedding - July/August 2025 (Issue 104)

GLAM THAT SAYS “I DO” I’m super-excited to share the launch of the P.Louise Bridal Collection (https://plouise.co.uk) – a love letter to soft-glam sophistication, high-performance formulas, and romance. The collection features an incredible range of products designed with brides in mind from gorgeous eyeshadows to the essential long-wear setting spray. My highlight is the Behind the Veil Bridal Palette (£25), a romantic mix of cream, shimmer and matte shadows in a portable palette made for brides, their besties and beauty lovers. ONE, TWO, THREE, GO! One simple step. Less time. Less effort. If that sounds like music to your ears, check out Beautifect’s 3 in 1 Cotton Korean Cleansing Pads (www.beautifect.com, £29), offering your cleanse, tone and moisturise routine in one simple step. The rich infusion removes make-up and impurities while nourishing and revitalising your skin, leaving it refreshed, balanced and glowing. I couldn’t believe how simple these were to use. Pre-hydrated with enough premium Korean ingredients to remove even a full face of make-up with ease, these pads not only cleanse quickly, but also take care of the toning and moisturising steps effectively, allowing your head to hit the pillow that bit faster. Usually after removing make-up my skin feels dry, but these left my skin feeling hydrated and smooth. I highly recommend! GROW, GROW, GROW YOUR HAIR If you’re looking for a new beauty routine to nourish your hair from within, Ovviovita’s Ayurvedic products are ones to watch. The brand offers a range of 100 per cent natural hair products with nutrient-rich oils and plant extracts that provide aid for range of concerns. If you’re trying to grow your hair for your dream W-day up do, I recommend Olio Divina Ayurvedic Oil for hair growth (https://ovviovita.com, £34). Harnessing the power of 10 carefully selected botanical herbs and nourishing oil extracts, it rejuvenates and strengthens hair from within resulting in markedly thicker tresses in four to six weeks when used once or twice a week. Plus, it smells absolutely incredible, like an indulgent spa-like experience at home. Leaving it in overnight, I even found the botanical scent helped me drift off into a peaceful slumber! THAT’S A WRAP! Meet my new obsession: Mylee’s Fully-Cured Gel Nail Wraps (https://mylee.co.uk, £13.99). In a first for the UK market, these are a game changer – the easiest, fastest and gentlest at-home, salonworthy nails. These vegan, HEMAfree and cruelty-free gel wraps come fully-cured, you don’t even need an LED lamp – everything for application is provided for you in the pack. Application takes mere minutes, simply prep your nails (cleaning, filing, buffing), match up the correct size for your nail, peel off the back and apply from the cuticle up. To finish, file excess gel off the end of your nails. Et voila – a gorgeous gel mani, no fuss, no mess and lasting up to 14 days. Wearing Golden Era, I can honestly say I’ve never received so many compliments on my nails. If you love nail art, but don’t have the time or inclination to sit for hours on end creating a masterpiece at home, there are 19 designs to choose from along with 25 block colours for when you’re feeling less extra! Removal is just as simple with the Mylee Wrap Remover Oil (£9.99), and your natural nails beneath will still be just as happy as they were the last time you saw them, damage free. These are without doubt, the best nail wraps I’ve encountered. I can’t wait to choose my next design. JUST KEEP ROLLING ALONG T-BAR Sonic Vibrating Anti-Ageing Device, (www.beautypro.com, £39) offers a number of benefits to renew, clarify and brighten the skin including decongesting the under eyes, minimising dark circles, aiding lymphatic drainage, clarifying acne prone skin and boosting oxygen levels and circulation. I love using this compact little device with my favourite serums and sheet masks. It helps products to properly penetrate the skin for the best outcome and offers a relaxing massage to boot. I find it offers a lot more precision than other devices that claim to promote the same benefits. Simply cleanse, apply your favourite serum, turn the device on and move the T-Bar in an upward motion on your forehead. Massage face from the centre outwards towards the ears to aid lymphatic drainage and downwards from behind the ears through the sides of the neck. It’s definitely not something I’ll be parting with any time soon! Gua sha? What Gua sha?! BEAUTY NEWS 69
