Beauty buzz: Sulwhasoo’s collab with local brand Kittie Yiyi is adorable and more beauty news from this month

Welcome to the end of June: This month was bustling with skincare launches (it’s not like anyone’s using makeup in this FMCO, eh?) and philanthropy galore. Ahead, find the biggest headlines, from how the beauty industry is working to save the bees to the hottest beauty brand collabs to cop.

Sulwhasoo’s Kittie Yiyi First Care Collaboration sparks immense joy

As it turns out, skincare and fashion go hand-in-hand. Sulwhasoo’s partnership with local fashion brand Kittie Yiyi is an absolute must-have. At the centre of the collab is the brand’s iconic best-seller, the First Care Activating Serum, an anti-ageing boosting serum created for women of all ages, races, and skin types.

With the Sulwhasoo x Kittie Yiyi First Care Set comes the Kittie Yiyi Wappen Collection—a collection of patches designed to celebrate beauty, empowerment, and self-love. Further, the set includes travel-size miniatures of the First Care Activating Serum 8ml, the Essential Balancing Water EX 15ml, the Essential Balancing Emulsion EX 15ml, the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum 5ml, Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream EX 5ml and the First Care Activating Mask.

Decorté launches the Lift Dimension Anti-Aging Brightening Care for gorgeous skin at any age

Even while we’re all tucked away and kept from the sun during this FMCO, the impact of environmental stress and lifestyle habits can lead to premature ageing. Fortunately, there’s a solution to this predicament.

Lifted, supple skin now comes in a bottle. The latest launch from Decorté is the result of their most recent ventures in research, and is formulated to strengthen, rebuild, and even out the skin. It contains the novel active ingredient, glucosyl naringin, which fills the weakened dermis and epidermis of ageing skin for a bouncy, plump finish.

Saving the bees has never been chicer—following the success of their World Bee Day campaign, during which the French luxury beauty house raised €1 million for the cause, Guerlain has announced three new partnerships as part of their conservation programme.

The first, the French Committee of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), contributes to the conservation of biodiversity as well as the sustainable use of natural resources. To help their cause, Guerlain is providing financial support so the organisation can produce the Red List of Threatened Species of Wild Bees in France. This will help to raise awareness of the cause.

The second partnership is with the Shan Shui Conservation Centre (SSCC), an NGO focused on preserving Chinese species and ecosystems, and raising awareness for present and future generations. Guerlain has helped the organisation by implementing its Bee School program in China jointly with the SSCC and the Chinese National Department of Education. This programme will help to educate thirty primary schools in Shanghai about the bee crisis.

The final partnership is with the Museum of Natural History, who are themselves in partnership with the French Office for Insects and Their Environment (OPIE). The Museum and the OPIE’s project began in 2010. The project is a collection of pollinator images, taken by anyone with a camera and posted on a mobile app or on the Spipoll website. Guerlain is helping to boost the performance and scope of the app through a 3-year sponsorship which aims to attract more participants.
