8 beauty products Vogue editors tested (and loved) in January 2023

Every week and every month, the beauty editorial staff of Vogue France presents its new favorites, between beauty products, care and perfumes . This first week of January 2023: focus on an exceptional serum halfway between high-tech and high naturalness, an oil to apply to the body after an intense sports session, an SOS eye contour treatment or even a moisturizing cream with a natural composition…

Susanne Kaufmann’s Eye Rescue Stick

“In my opinion, this is the ideal eye contour to apply in the morning. Quite simply because its roll-on applicator, combined with a composition full of green caffeine, has the effect of a real boost of freshness around the eyes. Immediately, we feel the eyes open up, the shadows are diminished and the fine lines smoothed.”

Guerlain skincare is often at the crossroads between high-tech and high naturalness. This new cosmetic bomb is no exception. For the first time, a tri-serum combines 3 concentrates of ultra-targeted micro-encapsulated active ingredients: 1) a highly regenerating Orchid Totum molecular extract, 2) 6000 pro-density micro-fillers, 3) 6000 effect micro-sculptors tensor. All of this, assembled according to a formulation concept that requires 500 hours and 8 manufacturing steps. But with a composition that is still 95% natural. On my skin, this first aqueous serum, then rich and silky, with the sweet scent of flowers, leaves my face plumped up, smooth, fresh, with a nice glow. Moreover, the tests on the product prove it:

Body Tenderness” Relaxing Body Oil by Ofa

Karri Relaxing Body Oil “Body Tenderness” by Ofa Karri, a very young French brand (launched in September 2022), which relies on essential oils and natural remedies to bring a good dose of daily well-being. This post-session ally combines Arnica with Turpentine and Tarragon oils for a relaxing effect on aches and tensions. The extra thing? It can also be used in the neck, neck, cervical and shoulders after a day spent behind the computer screen.

Les Petits Prödiges moisturizing cream

 And as is the case with most of the French brand’s beauty products, its well thought-out packaging is made of recycled aluminum – and infinitely recyclable – and its composition promises 100% ingredients of natural origin. It contains in particular hyaluronic acid and aloe vera with moisturizing properties that allow me to have very supple skin, even when it is cold.”

Rêve de Miel de Nuxe Moisturizing Lip Stick

Good news: the brand has launched its stick version, to carry everywhere with you, absolutely ideal for winter. As effective as ever, its formula with honey and sunflower oil softens and softens the lips in one pass, in addition to nourishing them in depth.”

Sequins Submission Beauty

“Who says New Year’s Eve, says tinsel! For my part, I bet on the biodegradable glitter (in pink, please!) imagined by Ganni and Submission Beauty, an avant-garde beauty line that has made zero plastic its trademark, to create a sparkling makeup. ! Exit aluminum and plastic (which ends up in the oceans), these new generation glitters are made from eucalyptus cellulose, with an ultra-soft touch to the skin…”

Queen Capricious Cellular Rich Cream

“This cream is a nice discovery as I like them. First of all, because the brand’s founder, actor Alexandre Styker, wanted to revive the family estate located in the heart of the Vosges Natural Park. In particular, he wanted to rehabilitate the apiaries of sedentary black bees that evolve on the estate and protect the spring that springs there naturally. He then associated, within his precious formula, honey (harvested in a very respectful way for bees) rich in B vitamins, trace elements and antioxidants, plumping propolis, organic oils of plum, camelina and almond. (for their omega 3, 6, 9), active regenerating angelica plant stem cells, protective probiotics, soothing beta-glucans and next-generation hyaluronic acid. On application, its soft texture envelops the skin in a benefactor and soothing cocoon, while leaving it perfectly matte on the surface. Quite a feat. As a bonus, a traceability certificate, provided electronically with each bottle, allows you to check which harvest of honey it is.”
