Inspired by textiles and layering, the limited edition Leopard Frost Collection from Marc Jacobs, features high-impact metallic lamé finishes — the better to bring out your inner fierce feline, I imagine. And can we talk about this totally chi-chi packaging?

As passionate as I am about makeup, it’s safe to say that I’m practically a fanatic when it comes to skincare, and even though I get to test out many regimens and brands, I accidentally stumbled on one product that appears to compliment every single range: Minéral 89 from Vichy — a relatively simple pre-serum that’s composed of just 11 ingredients … but packs one helluva punch.
