The cult French cream landing on Net-a-Porter today
Net-a-Porter has a hold over us. A serious hold. Every 48 hours those new collections and limited editions have us drooling (and sometimes hyperventilating) as we scroll and click and add to basket.
Rainbow coloured Tom Binns jewellery, new season Miu Miu and those red wine Charlotte Olympia kitty flats you’ve wanted for yonks. It’s a serious wonder how the bank balance ever stays relatively intact. And now, what with the chic and very select beauty edit that’s on the site (like, the best of the best, from the very best brands EVER), it’s become pretty much a one stop shop for just about... anything.
And today, beauty friends, the good news comes in the form of cult French brand, Embryolisse. Yup, the impossible to find hero that Parisian fashion editors and Gallic grand-dames swear by to keep their complexions so flawless, is hitting Net-a-Porter as we speak. Like, now. Right this minute.
In case you’ve been in hibernation for an awfully long time (or are ridiculously out of the loop), here’s the deal: Embryolisse is a moisturiser. A straight up, no-beating-around-the-bush cream that has been favoured by worldwide dermatologists for years and years. Decades, I tell you.
It’s rich in natural ingredients, as well as being high in both fatty acids and vitamins, and being a bit science-y for a moment, it reconstitutes the skin’s hydrolipidic film. So in layman’s terms, that’s the crucial thing that keeps your face looking fresh and happy when things like pollution and dirt and all sorts of other daily irritants come floating along. Clever.
Models worship at its altar (hey, Anja Rubik and Karlie Kloss), Carine Roitfeld is never without a tube, nor is Emmanuelle Alt. Make-up artists always stock up on it when in the French capital. Seriously, it’s like gold dust. But today, it lands on yours and our very favourite shopping site, available to your door in the click of a button. So get your order in sharpish before the whole lot sells out. Which it will, in minutes. Hurry.
Embryolisse, from £10 at Net-a-Porter
