Today is Bastille Day in France (known as La Fête Nationale) – so we’re embracing some of our favourite French things today, from style to food and a whole array of fabulous beauty products! See below for a quick intro to some of our favourite French brands:
The cool packaging of this Provence-based brand catches your eye first, then you fall head over heels for the scents and the products.
We love: Our current favourite? Everything Mediterranean Sea!
Caudalie offer an easy-to-use range of skincare products that harness the power of the grape to give quick results – now everyday essentials in our beauty regimes!
We love: For AM and PM: Foaming Cleanser – and we keep Beauty Elixir on our desks.
This cult make-up artist favourite skincare range was one we picked up every time we visited France – but now it’s available in the Birchbox shop!
We love: The classic Lait-Créme Concentré and Micellar Lotion.
Rocher was a pioneer of natural ingredients in cosmetics and his brand continues to promote that. These colourful products draw on the power of plants and respect your skin.
We love: The sheer and fruity Rouge Groseille Lipstick and Radiant Youth Corrector Pen.
Bastien Gonzalez’s pedicures are popular with celebs and those in the know on both sides of the channel and inspired his gorgeous nail care collection.
We love: Handbag must-have Unguent For Nails & Cuticles and Nail Polish No.8.
Okay, so the brand might strictly be American, but French make-up artist Laura Mercier has been making over celebrities and models since 1985.
We love: Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eyeliner and Tinted Moisturizer.
