Dose

This week, wellness brand DOSE – founded by friends Shara Tochia and Hettie Holmes – has launched two new mood-boosting mists the help you feel your best before and after a workout.

The new products essentially reimagine aromatherapy but for the fitness market, utilising powerful blends of essential oils that promise to “stimulate the neurons in our olfactory bulb, directly connected to the limbic system, responsible for our emotions.” The “HIIT Me Up” blend aims to amp you up before a workout while the “Smells Like Yoga” mist is meant to soothe and relax you during your wind down. Below you’ll find more details on HIIT Me Up, including where to get it and how much it’ll cost you.

Also out this week are some great new makeup goodies such as the new money-saving kit from Milk Makeup and a game-changing trio of eyeshadow sticks by Beauty Pie. Then there’s a divine new hand sanitiser, powerful hyaluronic acid serum, and a subtle-smelling dry body oil, all of which are worth getting excited over. Plus there are a couple of other mists to check out from Afro Hair & Skin Co, which aim to balance and calm your skin. Keep reading to find out more about each product.

HIIT Me Up Mood Boosting Mist

Always find yourself at an energy low-point pre-workout, and almost talk yourself out of going to that class at all? This is when you need DOSE’s new mood-boosting mist, which is designed to energise and motivate you with its blend of uplifting natural essential oils. Simply give it a spritz and inhale the aroma right before you attend a workout, and feel that energy return to you in an instant.

Wondercolour Cream Eyeshadow Trio

A favourite of beloved makeup artist Mary Greenwell, this trio has everything you need to get post-lockdown worthy eyes. The warm rose gold and burnt orange hues will bring a touch of magic to green or blue eyes, whereas brown eyes will look fantastic with a layer of the striking blue. These promise to be creamy and super blendable too, so are great for beginners and eyeshadow novices.

Vichy LiftActiv H.A. Epidermic Filler

We all know that hyaluronic acid is an absolute top tier, godly ingredient when it comes to skincare. It hydrates like no other, in turn plumping skin and adding a freshness that only it can achieve. And Vichy’s new hyaluronic serum sounds like no other; it’s supercharged not only with the stuff, but also Vitamin CG and B5 to deliver clear results. Skin will look more youthful and radiant in just a few goes.

Brick Lane Rinse Free Hand Wash

With the amount we all use hand sanitiser these days, we want one that is actually enjoyable to use and smells great. Enter: this little joy by Soapsmith, which kills 99.99% of ‘nasties’ and smells like amber, pepper, and sandalwood. What’s more, right now the brand are offering a free one of these any time you buy a regular hand wash, which is a pretty good deal if you ask me.

The Ritual Of Sakura Dry Body Oil

Featuring the collection’s signature blend of elegant cherry blossom and creamy rice milk, this body product is perfect for those who hate overpowering smells. It’s super subtle and yet comforting and warming, which is just what you need right after a hot bath or shower. The formula is made with 96% natural origin ingredients, and texture-wise, it promises to absorb quickly and easily rather than sit on the skin.

Milk Makeup Glossy Glow Kit

Been looking to try Milk as a brand for a while now? This set is *literally* the perfect way to get a taste of Milk without spending a whole load of money. For under £30, you’ll get the following: a Hydro Grip Primer, Matte Bronzer in ‘Baked,’ Kush Mascara, and Electric Glossy Lip Plumper in ‘Charged.’ Essentially, this is summer makeup in a pack.

Rose Otto Skin Balancing Floral Mist

The Afro Hair & Skin Co.

The Afro Hair & Skin Co. have introduced two brand new skin mists: an orange flower hydrating formula, and this rose otto one, which promises to have a balancing effect on skin. The elixir is steam-distilled using the essences of organically grown rose petals, and is high in vitamin C, meaning skin is met with a healthy dose of antioxidants. The brand recommends this one for combination/oily or acne-prone skin, as rose has calming, balancing benefits.
