Beauty guru Maria Hatzistefanis, whose award-winning, high-end U.K. skin care brand, Rodial, arrived stateside earlier this year, has struck again, this time with NIP + FAB, an affordable line of products debuting Sunday at Target.
The new line comprises 24 products for face and body targeting areas that could use a little nip, tuck and moisturizing. Among them are Moisture Fix, Sheer Make-up Fix, Dry Leg Fix, Cellulite Fix, Tummy Fix and Bust Fix, which are already popular among U.K. A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow, Siena Miller and Victoria Beckham.
Having tried the Sheer Make-up Fix, I found it to be an effective, multi-tasking clear gel that, after settling in, evens out skin’s texture, diminishing imperfections while leaving a healthy-looking glow.
A look at the ingredients reveals use of oat extract for its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory properties and hyaluronic acid, a proven hydrator.
What the Sheer Make-up Fix doesn’t do is color-correct, but I’m assuming that’s the task of NIP + FAB’s Pigmentation Fix.
Similarly, the Dry Leg Fix worked well on my sun-damaged legs, the result of excessive tanning during my teen years.
The products range from $5.95 to $18.95. At that price, who can’t be fab?
STEFANI, WU LINES DUE SOON: Speaking of Target, we can look forward to Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Mini, affordable apparel and accessories for babies, kids and tweens, arriving Nov. 13, and designer Jason Wu will create a limited-edition collection for Target of women’s wear, handbags and scarves, set to launch Feb. 5, 2012.
