Millennial Pink is Having a Moment

Millennial pink, there’s just no escaping it. Undoubtedly the colour of the moment (ok, the decade!) and that’s not just for fashion. We’re seeing this cult shade creep into all categories, from homeware to stationery and even the beauty counters. Autumn is coming but we’re still embracing pink before we swap it for emerald greens, golds and deep shades of red.

This week in the YCB office we’ve been fawning over some must-have pink beauty hits from our favourite cosmetics destination, Fragrance Direct.

Here’s what we’ve been loving…

Lacoste – Touch of Pink!

This fragrance has been a firm favourite of ours for years, a classic fresh summery scent that’s light, floral and perfect for daytime wear. With this mini heatwave we’ve been having, his purse friendly size has been a must-have, topping up with a mid-afternoon spritz to remain fresh all day long.

Joan Collins – Pink Blush

An icon and true beauty hero, if Joan Collins approves then that’s good enough for us! This makeup line offers true classics in a range of beautiful shades. This velvet contouring blush has been one of our summer favourites, offering a healthy glow and natural effect thanks to the feather light formula. A beauty bag must have!

Revlon – PhotoReady Skinlights

This facial illuminator offers the perfect dewy look to your makeup, a healthy glow in a bottle that’s a bargain price too! Banishing dullness with light-capturing crystals and offering a more even skin tone, this is one product you NEED to try. Who needs a holiday to Mykonos when you can buy your glow of less than a tenner?

Essie – Pink Nail Polish

 

We don’t know about you, but we feel totally naked and incomplete without a mani! Give yourself the perfect home manicure with this shade of shocking pink from one of our favourite nail polish brands, Essie. This is the perfect way to add a punch of pink to your look without going too OTT.

Burts Bees – Lip Gloss Crayon

Pucker up with this nourishing lip gloss from Burts Bees! Available in a range of pinks, this rich chubby crayon leaves your lips feeling hydrated and soft thanks to the rich formula of jojoba oil, shea butter and kendi oil. No cracked lips here thank you! Our favourite shade is the gorgeous ‘Tahitian Sunset’ featuring a glossy finish. Mwah!
