From Lush Halloween bath bombs to Kitschy Korean cosmetics, here are the latest beauty products on the market.

Transform your tresses

Give your locks a non-dramatic update with Marquee’s Express Colour Artistry Menu. Add coloured highlights, lowlights and more to your hair in a number of different methods, including Contour, Halo, Melt, Babylights and Flash techniques. The whole process will take about an hour, or more if your hair requires toning.

• Available at Marquee salons across the UAE; from Dh300

Trick or treat

If you aren’t celebrating Halloween the old-fashioned way, treat yourself to a peaceful night in with some spooky bath bombs, bath melts and bars of soap from Lush. Taking the form of ghosts, pumpkins, cats, monsters and Goth fairies, these products are fresh, ethically produced and contain scents such as vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and lime.

• Available at Lush stores across the UAE, including the newly opened boutique at City Walk in Dubai; from Dh39

Kitschy cosmetics

The latest launches from South Korean skincare brand Tonymoly sound as appetising as they are visually appealing. With names such as Banana Hand Milk, Peach Lip Balm, Pocket Bunny Moist Mist and Panda’s Dream So Cool Eye Stick, these cute kawaii products are sure to find a permanent home in your handbag.

• Available at Sephora stores across the UAE; from Dh45

Fail-safe favourite

For the perfect shade of nude nail polish, try a splash of Doll Face from Ciaté Paint Pots’ Doll House collection. Not your typical glossy nude, the varnish has a slightly matte, porcelain-like finish, and though you will need two to three coats of the formula, the end result is beautiful. Plus, how can you resist the cute packaging?

• Available at Sisters Beauty Lounges across the UAE; Dh70

Cleansing trend

Foreo has launched its smallest, most-compact face cleanser product, the Luna Play, and it’s now available at the Beauty to Go stations at Sephora stores. Through its pulsing “T-Sonic” technology, your face is given a thorough cleanse while your complexion gets brightened. The manufacturer claims that it’s 35 times more hygienic than nylon-bristled brushes.

• Available at Sephora stores across the UAE; Dh180
