Let’s admit it, the excitement of new beauty launches is almost intoxicating. Especially in this age of Instagram, the build-up is so strong and rousing with fabulous gifs, videos and whatnots that by the time the product is in the market, we find ourselves right in front of the line to shop. Here are some of the summer beauty launches of 2018 that got us all giddy –

Beauty Blender Bounce Liquid Whip Longwear Foundation
It was a long time coming and it’s finally here! Beauty Blender just launched (like 5 hours ago!) their first ever makeup and first ever foundation. Priced at $40 The fabulously packaged foundation (it’s got an egg-shaped dispenser to dip your BB into) comes in 32 shades and is supposed to be light, airy and velvet-ish.

Givenchy Le Rouge Liquide
From outside it looks like a classic Givenchy lipstick but once opened you find that instead of the traditional stick, it has a foam applicator. This new lipstick hides a pen-style mechanism in the luxury signature Givenchy case.

‘Tis The Season To Be A Mini

Dior Capture Youth Range
It’s one thing to age gracefully and the other to ignore your skin’s needs. At Runway Square we don’t look at anti-aging products as a way to stay unnaturally young, we want products that calm, soothe, refresh and deal with issues that arise due to multiple factors like UV, diet, stress, lack of workout and crazy work hours (I’m writing this at 2:30am) over the years.  That’s why we have been excited about the Dior Beauty Capture Youth range which includes a cream and a collection of serums that deal with specific issues like redness, uneven or dull skin, We’ve been reading Dior Capture Youth reviews for a while and wanted to try the excited that the range is now available in India too.

Thickening Shampoo and Tea Tree Lemon Sage Thickening Conditioner and styling products like Tea Tree Firm Hold Gel, Tea Tree Grooming Pomade and Tea Tree Styling Wax.
