In some of the biggest beauty news in the business, Aesop has ended their tenure under Natura and Co and has been acquired by L’Oreal, with the final sale predicted to go through by Q3 of this year. The acquisition began in December 2022 when Natura and Co considered selling a minority stake in the company, before opting for an ownership sale instead. The acquisition is the largest ever for the French conglomerate—and surely its most impressive. We’re excited to see how this impacts the brand moving forward.

For those who loved her portrayal of Princess Margaret in The Crown, you’ll love Vanessa Kirby’s latest gig as a Cartier girl.  The actress is the ambassador of the luxury house’s new perfume, watch and jewellery campaigns, and has made her debut with a stunning campaign for the brand’s La Panthère fragrance family. The campaign film sees a free-spirited Kirby clad in a striking red gown as she traverses a lush landscape of greenery before transforming into Cartier’s iconic animal, the panther.

Nudestix supports The Canopy Project with their latest Nude Earth Eye Palette

Nudestix’s latest curated eyeshadow collection features six limited-edition, earth-inspired eye pencils that are sure to get you in the mood for this Earth Month. Better yet, every purchase of the palette will go towards The Canopy Project, which is a conservation and reforestation project created by the EarthDay organisation. Each palette sold equates to one tree planted, and the brand has committed to planting 10,000 trees. In addition to reforestation efforts, The Canopy Project also works to educate local communities, provide water resource rehabilitation and protect endangered species—is there any better way to celebrate this month?

Shop the palette here from April 20 2023.
