Stella McCartney Raises the Bar on Clean Beauty With
LONDON — After 16 years, Stella McCartney is taking one other run at beauty with the launch of a clean skincare line called Stella, created in close collaboration along with her minority partners LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. True to McCartney’s minimalist mantra, the brand is launching with just three products: a cleanser, serum and cream. The brand new line is an ambitious project that desires to tick as many eco-boxes as possible, with the fewest variety of products and ingredients. “I'm not that one who desires to buy into one million products for various areas of my face.

The Lip Bar Is Expanding Their Flagship Store In
In 2012, Melissa Butler began her lipstick brand, The Lip Bar, as a response to the industry’s tendency to treat darker skin tones as an afterthought. Unimpressed with what was available on the market, she began creating products from scratch at home. Since then, she’s launched every little thing from liquid matte lipsticks to tinted moisturizers.  “I used to think we could only make lip products due to the name,” Butler tells ESSENCE. “I used to be limiting myself.

Prai Pioneers the ‘Neck Bar’ Offering Massage, Yoga at
LONDON — Prai Beauty is taking its specialist skincare to a latest level, opening what often is the industry’s first neck bar at Marks & Spencer, offering services comparable to yoga, massage and skin consultations using a handheld device. The Neck Bar has opened at M&S Leeds White Rose, with more to come back across the country. The opening of the stand-alone bars is a milestone for Prai, which until now had only offered hands-on services, comparable to “neckcials,” through pop-ups at M&S, and on Princess, Carnival and Seabourn cruise ships. The services at M&S are free and complement Prai’s already robust business at the shop. The Prai Beauty Ageless Throat & Decolletage Crème, which retails for 26.99 kilos, has long been...
