When setting out in search of new skincare products to add to our everyday life, we’d best describe it as neverending. Despite all of our efforts to navigate through this unknown and often uncharted territory, we often find ourselves falling short. Surely, we aren’t the only ones left wondering if a product will work without testing it out first-hand.

Enter, Violet Grey, the revolutionary beauty edit taking the industry by storm, thanks to its rigorous standards. The ultimate destination for all things beauty has the “Violet Code,” a stamp of approval given by an esteemed group of makeup artists, A-list celebrities and skincare specialists who individually trial and test each and every product sold on the site.

The Cold Processed Scalp Detox is the latest and greatest product to hit the shelves that can help nourish, balance and stimulate the scalp! Looking to remove all of that old, unwanted buildup and pollution? This scalp detox looks to deliver essential nutrients to each hair follicle. Formulated with powerhouse ingredients such as Amaranth Oil, Baobab Oil, Moringa Oil, and Basil leaf, the benefits are endless when opting for this detox. Some of the added benefits from those ingredients include anti-fungal properties to reduce dryness and amino acids and vitamins to help strengthen our hair’s shaft. The detox looks to aid in stimulating and balancing scalps to not only nourish hair but leave it moisturized, as well. Much to our liking the 3.4oz bottle is so long-lasting, it’s expected to last up to two months! How amazing!

What’s the secret to a velvety pout like a French girl? This Le Rouje de Paris Lipstick, of course! Inspired by Instagram Influencer, Jeanne Damas, this lipstick was developed to not only look good in photos but in real life as well. This vegan lipstick was designed to give users a creamy texture that delivers flawless full coverage as well as the perfect matte finish!

Available in four stunning tones which include Jeanne, Camille, Emilie and Lamia, there is no wrong shade. For those looking for more of a ravishing red that is bold and bright, we’d recommend the Jeanne or Camille, both of which could be an everyday essential. Both shades are magnificent mauves which feature hints of pink throughout. So subtle and oh-so-soft! It goes without saying no matter what shade is selected, the perfect pout is only one lipstick application away!
