EDITORIAL We landed a few big fishes this year – Goop, Olivia Palermo and R+Co are just a few of the new highlights that are now available at Niche-Beauty.com. Gwyenth Paltrow has often been a source of inspiration to us and to have her cutting edge range of products online and exclusively in Germany is pretty exciting stuff – we hope you will share our love for these totally clean and non-toxic beauties. Tja, and who does not adore Olivia Palermo? We feel fresher just looking at her and obviously made it a priority to bring her stunning colour line to Europe. And then there is R+Co, another brand we have always wanted and stalked. For ‚better than normal shampoo’ addicts like us, a must have on bathroom shelves and just checked off our shopping list!

LAETITIA VON HESSEN AND SARAH VON DOETINCHEM, FOUNDER NICHE BEAUTY

And all this would not have been possible without our amazing Team, that we would like to send a big thank you to with this end of year (how fast did that go!) edition of the Niche Magazin.

The last months were not always easy and our reason to create a land of hopes and beauty dreams. We called it „Fantasia“ and walked down memory lane with pictures of Atreju, Falcor and the Childlike Empress in Michael Ende’s ,Never Ending story‘ whilst brainstorming and dreaming. The outcome is a magazine full of beautiful fantasies on how we want to celebrate this season looking damn fabulous and gorgeous until New Years Eve. Honestly we think our brands felt the same – the gift and holiday editions by Gucci Westman or Susanne Kaufmann are chicer than ever and the newnesses by Dr. Barbara Sturm, U Beauty and Augustinus Bader absolute beauty perfections.

Holiday shopping at its best.

We hope to make your beauty dreams come true this year and wish you many fantasies for the last months of 2021.

Your Laetitia and Sarah

How to explain Goop? Let’s try it the simple way: Goop is a contemporary luxury lifestyle brand that curates the ultimate in beauty, wellness, style, food and travel.

The Los Angeles-based brand was founded by the Academy Award-winning actor Gwyneth Paltrow whose products soon became synonymous with functional, nontoxic beauty. As it turns out, Goop pioneered a lot more than holistic, sometimes daring approaches to well-being (the brand’s series The Goop Lab became an instant Netflix hit in 2020); Goop pioneered the inside-out approach and formulas with the very best high-performance, active ingredients. In other words: Goop pioneered 21st century beauty.

CLEAN

For Goop, clean beauty means never compromising on health for results.

The brand is committed to making safe products that deliver real results, meaning that all of Goop’s products are free of nasties, or, rather of all

ingredients that are linked to potentially harmful health effects.

HOLISTIC

The Los Angeles brand believes that the mind, body and spirit are inextricably connected and that when we take care of ourselves on the inside by moving our bodies, eating good food, getting good sleep and managing stress, it is reflected on the outside. With that in mind, Goop proposes a selection of supplements and tools that offer a thorough take on beauty, from Morning Skin Superpowder (that protects against the free radical effects of the sun, pollution, stress and helps with keeping the skin youthful and glowing) to body brushes for efficient toxin elimination.

RESULTS-DRIVEN

Goop leverages the best doctors and experts in the fields of beauty and wellness for advice and solutions. The brand is using clinically tested ingredients – combining extensively studied ones (like vitamin C) with more cutting-edge ones (like zeaxanthin) to create products that

set the bar for the future of beauty. All of their final skin-care formulas are clinically tested to prove they deliver on their promises.

So – where to start, you might ask?

At the top, we say. GOOPGLOW Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator is the brand’s number one bestseller – it uses the power of both chemical and physical exfoliation to reveal a glowing, smoother-looking complexion that has wowed countless customers around the globe. And once you’re at it, top it off with GOOPGENES All-in-One Nourishing Face Cream that significantly improves wrinkles and brightness after just a couple of weeks, leaving the skin ultra moisturized, soft, supple, firm, and even-toned. Now all you need is the GOOPGENES All-in-One Nutrient Face Oil that will attack fine lines and wrinkles, improve firmness, smooth skin texture and increase your natural glow – et voilà – you’ll never want to look back. Welcome to the Goop universe.

BE BOLD Nothing like a bright, juicy, colorful lip for the colder season What is now considered a confidence booster as well as a form of selfexpression, used to be the symbol of power, strength and female emancipation. Ladies and gentlemen, may we present this season’s hottest accessory, the lipstick!

As Coco Chanel famously said: “If you’re sad, add more lipstick and attack”. It is common knowledge that in the early 20th century, women used lipstick to mark their independence and strength – a lipstick was as much about beauty as it was about political symbolism.

In the Roaring Twenties, the jazz scene dictated an obligatory dark lip that was both a symbol of rebellion and a perfect companion to the dazzling dancing

dresses. The sultry plums and aubergines became reds in the 1950’s with the rising popularity of Hollywood divas. While the 1960’s became an era of the Twiggy-like nudes, the 80’s brought the pearly, shimmering pinks and wild fuchsia tones that became synonymous with the glittering disco era. From the grunge in the 1990’s and the glossy Paris Hilton-pinks of the early 2000’s, the recent years gave women a new sense of freedom: lipstick in 2021 is about creativity, confidence and playfulness, but it’s also a statement. Make it red, nude, plum, make it velvety, add some lip gloss, or wear it matte: as long as it makes you feel good, anything goes.

Below, our selection of the finest to officially welcome the return of the statement lip.

DREAM LAND Get better, deeper, longer sleep, because, really... you owe it to yourself.

As several studies suggest, one in three adults in the Western World struggles with sleep disorders, one of the least welcome byproducts of our stress-prone lifestyle. In case you’ve been pushing the nightly rendez-vous with your bed to the side, think again: good sleep is of crucial importance to the overall well-being. It improves brain function, mental clarity, physical performance and – last but not least – good sleep makes you look good.

When it comes to how well you sleep, little tricks go a long way: try eating a light dinner well before climbing to bed (soothing winter stews are great for digestion), blocking blue light and unplugging technological devices at least two hours before bed to relax the mind. On top of that, tap into our three-step guide and prepare to gently drift off.

STEP 2: PREPARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

Fresh, lavender-scented sheets, a sleep mask and a soft, silk pillow, do we need to say more?

Slip / Pure Silk Pillowcase Queen / € 99,– Holistic Silk / Pure Mulberry Silk Lavender Eye Mask Silver / € 73,– Bondi Wash / Laundry Wash Tasmanian Pepper & Lavender / Clean Beauty / € 20,– STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR SKIN

To make sure you wake up looking as rested as you feel, use a selection of products that will aid skin regeneration processes and give you a youthful glow in return.

Our constant dependency on technology, 24/7 availability, high expectations in juggling work and home life as well as unbalanced diet and other external stressors often leave us with little time to hit proper snooze - and yet there are very few things that beat the benefits of a deep, healthy, rejuvenating rendez-vous with our beds.

SUPPLEMENTS

SPECIAL FORCE There is no way around this special task force anymore. Beauty strength from within. Immune me!

While right now you might worry about the puffiness of your coat or the thickness of the soles on your boots, may we remind you that what you put into your body matters just as much as what you put on it?

There is an essential list of products that your body tends to overcompensate on; it is highly likely that you’ll be vitamin D-deficient in the darker winter days, just like it is highly likely you’ll lack essential vitamins you normally get from fresh summer produce. When it comes to making sure your immune system is running smoothly, the classic doctor-prescribed recipe still applies: regular exercise, a healthy (vegetable-rich) diet and a selection of supplements will do the trick and keep you vibrant and thriving.

The connection between your brain and your gut is no secret – it has been a subject of many studies and is one of modern wellness’ best-kept secrets. The Nue Co.’s signature Prebiotic + Probiotic delivers 15 billion spores per dose and was formulated specifically to help combat symptoms of IBS and long-term digestive issues to improve gut health. Combine it with Welleco’s Super Elixir to deliver all essential plant-based nutrients (in case you were wondering: this is the one supermodel Elle McPhearson swears by), a good daily dose of collagen (preferably in your morning smoothie), a soothing CBD-infused sleep tincture and a minerally-rich pack to help strengthen your skin and nails while you’re at it. Want bonus points? In Fiore’s Lâche-Lymphe will quickly restore harmony in the body, mind and spirit – could you possibly ask for more?

EYE SPY It’s all in the eyes, they say, and we’ve got all the tools you need to make your look pop this winter.

After a full-on Y2K summer season (Do crop tops, mini skirts, platform shoes and skinny eyebrows ring a bell?), it’s time to get back to basics and by basics we mean natural, healthy brows and long, lustrous eyelashes.

Perfectly shaped voluminous brows and long, feminine lashes give your face a natural facelift. Lashfood’s Phyto-Medic Eyebrow Enhancer is eco certified and will help your brows grow stronger and fuller in no time. Pair it with Ilia’s Essential Brow or Nudestix’s Eyebrow Stylus Pencil and Stronghold Gel during the day – these will help you fill and sculpt brows into place. Surratt Beauty’s Expressioniste Brow Pomade is another great choice – it lifts, shapes and holds every hair in place without a crunchy gel-like effect, giving your brows a natural-looking definition.

After the brows come the lashes. Und Gretel’s Wint Mascara is a perfect balance of beeswax and creamy pigments to wrap every lash into a rich, glossy color and irresistible volume.

Chantecaille’s Faux Cils Longest Lash Mascara has been updated with the newest lash-growth peptide that stimulates keratin genes – prepare for 25 % longer and fuller lashes after two weeks of daily

use. Bonus points? Immediate volume (due to a combination of natural waxes) and a luxurious healing experience, courtesy of ultra conditioning rosewater.

Now all you have to do is add a touch of eyeliner (By Terry’s Ligne Blackstar will not only give you a perfect Cat Eye, but also help your lashes grow) and you’re good to conquer the world, one day at a time.

Cold temperatures have always been a great excuse to treat yourself to a little extra “me time”. If you can't escape to the proper Spa in the Swiss Alps, we suggest you create one in the comfort of your own bathroom: we promise it’s worth it.

As it happens, an unwinding scented candle pairs perfectly with a cup of herbal tea, a warm bubble bath, a soothing self-massage and a rich body cream that will soak in overnight and turn you into a new person by the morning. Some of

the products on our go-to list?

Björk & Berries made botanical salt from flowers and herbs from their Swedish garden, mixed them with unbleached sea salt and topped them with birch, chamomile and lavender for a perfectly relaxing home-soaking. Nature of Things’ floral bath, on the other hand, was made to take you into another dimension with its unique mixture of detoxifying and hydrating ingredients that will at the same time reduce pores, boost oxytocin (Bye, winter blues!) and

ease muscle tension. Another great bet is Agent Nateur’s bath elixir that immediately calms the body, relieves tired muscles and leaves you with a glowing, soft and hydrated skin.

No bathtub? No worries. When it comes to relaxing, few things beat a warm, steamy shower – especially when you’ve got frankincense, ylang ylang and lemongrass on hand. Bloom & Blossom’s And Breathe… Relaxing Shower Oil is made of sweet almond, evening primrose and moringa seed oil

YOUR BEST HAIR YET With summer behind us, gone are the days of air-dried salty hair. Here’s the one thing that’s actually better for your hair than sun, salt and wind: T3 hair tools.

40

N I C H E B E AU T Y COM

It all started in Los Angeles, the city of eclectic vibes, unlimited creativity, constant innovation and, well, palm trees, and pink-hued sunsets. It also all started with hair dryers, the product that is a lot more complex than exposing your mane to hot air. Choose the wrong one and you’ll not only end up damaging your hair, but also leave it fluffy, frizzy and with a strange (electrically charged) static as a bonus.

T3 is part tech start up, part beauty venture that pioneered its first luxury tools in 2003. Their tools are now used on red carpets, fashion runways as well as in hair-enthusiasts’ bathrooms all over the world, particularly when in need of a glossy, frizz-free mane.

Described as some of the best on the market, T3 tools are designed with the latest technology; most notably with their “HEATID” concept, meaning that the heat exposure is reduced while specifically tailored to every individual’s hair needs, taking into account the length, structure as well as whether or not the hair has been chemically processed.

While most hair dryers might look similar on the outside, they are radically

different in terms of what they can do for your hair. T3’s Cura Luxe Professional Ionic Hair Dryer With Auto Pause Sensor, for example, has been tested (and awarded!) to do wonders on normal-to-thin hair, leaving it shiny and looking much healthier super quickly.

The tool has five heat and two speed settings, an auto-stop function as well as cool shot function to lock in the style. Its Digital IonAir technology offers precise heat and a wide, gentle airstream that dries hair quickly and delivers soft, frizzfree results.

And there’s more: T3’s portfolio includes curlers and flat irons that smooth cuticles and deliver an instant shine, hair brushes, fast-drying hair turbans as well as clips and other tools that you need to get that salon-level blowout at home. Ready for a season of good hair days?

CLEAN BEAUTY

SAFE & SOUND They might not be the answer to every skin problem, but the idea of clean beauty products is still good-natured.

Below a list of our favorites to fill your greenest, finest shelf.

We’re not going to lie: there is a lot of scrutiny and confusion around “clean beauty”. As consumers grow more aware of the environmental damage that mainly affects the packaging, there is also an increasing desire for safe and effective beauty products that exclude certain ingredients.

If the generations before ours used to say “You are what you eat”, we now know enough to change it into “You are what you use.” There is an abundance of scientific evidence that shows how the products we are using on the skin penetrate into our bloodstream, affecting our overall well-being.

With that in mind, our very own Clean Beauty concept is primarily defined by the ingredients you won’t find in the products with a CLEAN icon: BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), chemical sunscreens, EDTA, ethanolamines, ethoxylated ingredients (Ceteareth-20, emulsifying wax, PEGS, polysorbate-20, polysorbate-40, steareth-20, sulfates), formaldehyde, methylchloroisot-

hiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone, methylcellulose or 2-methoxyethanol, nitro- and polycyclic musk, parabens, petrolatum and paraffin, phthalates, resorcinol, silicones, animal by-products, toluene, triclosan and triclocarban.

While we don’t believe that clean products are the answer to every skin issue (Different bodies need different things, friends!), we still believe in providing the best guidelines for those among you who wish to avoid products that might disagree with your largest organ (that is: skin). Here’s what to go for now.

HOW TO SHOP CLEAN Hereʼs an easy tip: go to the desired category, then select ῾clean’ at the tab in the upper left corner of the website.

​​ Let’s talk about dry winter skin – what are the best products to ensure supple and nourished skin from top to bottom in the darker, colder days?

Our skin is very intelligent and can show us if something is wrong. Common symptoms of dry skin are tightness, flakiness, redness and itchiness or irritation. When your skin is dry, it is very important to keep it hydrated by giving it sufficient moisture and protecting it from further moisture loss. Your daily skincare regime can play a huge part in protecting your skin against dryness. When it comes to ingredients, look out for those that are going to give your skin an intense moisture boost that lasts.

Here at SUSANNE KAUFMANN, we use botanical hyaluronic

„THE HOME SPA BOX IS THE PERFECT SELF-CARE PACKAGE THAT WILL BRING PROFESSIONAL RELAXATION TO YOUR OWN HOME.“ SUSANNE KAUFMANN

acid, aloe vera or beneficial oils that nourish and moisturise the skin, such as rosehip seed oil or evening primrose oil. Chamomile, sage, mallow and St. John’s Wort extracts can help soothe patches of irritation and harmonise stressed skin.

Another question in line with the season: baths. What are the non-negotiables for a relaxing winter soak?

The wonderful thing about bathing is that you can personalise your bath depending on what your physical and/or mental needs are. It is such a brilliant opportunity to give your body what it needs, and give your mind a moment to rest, and reset.

This was my inspiration when developing our bath products in the SUSANNE KAUFMANN product range. I wanted to ensure everyone could have a moment for themselves at the end of every day with an effective bath product.

To create a spa-like ambience I like to light some candles.

Depending on the time I have I will take a bath in the evening which is great for unwinding and relaxing your mind. I love to do a body and face peel before the bath, apply a rich moisturising face mask during the bath, and finish with a thick layer of our Body Butter mixed with our Firming Oil. For those of us who perhaps won’t be able to make it to SUSANNE KAUFMANN Spa in Bezau right now: what are the absolute must-haves for a perfect home Spa experience?

The much-loved Home Spa Set is back for Holiday 2021 and brings the SUSANNE KAUFMANN Spa feeling straight to your home. The set includes the best-selling Moisturising Mask with a selection of pampering body products to deeply nourish and protect the skin throughout the winter season. It features some of my personal body care favorites to treat yourself from head to toe.

What do you like to give to your loved ones? What’s a gift that will never disappoint?

For someone very special, you can now gift 25 days of SUSANNE KAUFMANN with our limited edition 2021 Advent Calendar featuring our best-selling face and body products including our iconic Eye Rescue Stick in full size.

When it comes to toned, fit bodies, countless hours at the gym will only get you this far. Regular physical activity will boost serotonin and dopamine and when you combine it with a healthy, vegetable-and-fruit-rich diet, you will feel (and look) better. But what happens when you still need a little extra help with getting that firm, plump body you worked so hard for? Read on, we’ve got you covered.

A regular dry scrub using a brush over the thighs and bum will do wonders for erasing dimples and tone wobbly bits, while also benefiting the overall health and wellbeing and eliminating toxins.

Best way to go about it? Use it in the morning before the shower and pair with Kayo’s Concentrated Firming Serum that stimulates circulation, hydrates and nourishes to help the skin look more toned, smooth and supple. For targeted areas (Hi, auntie arms!) use products that focus on improving skin’s elasticity, sculpting and texturing the surface, such as Rodial’s Super Fit Arm Sculpt or Dr. Janine Mahon’s Rejuvenating Breast Oil for softening the breast tissue and ensuring your bosom’s left in the best possible shape.

Olivia Palermo is a name you can trust when it comes to good taste.

This season, the native New Yorker returns with her own beauty line.

O L I V I A PA L E R M O B E AU T Y

As one often says: there are tastemakers and then there are tastemakers. Palermo knows a thing or two about impeccable fashion style, but she also knows a thing or two about that perfect put-together beauty look. This season, the star launched Olivia Palermo Beauty, an elevated four-product collection that is entirely cruelty free, vegan, non-toxic and hence good for the planet and the face.

Palermo approached beauty just as she approaches her wardrobe: the serum, mattifying mist, matte lipsticks and the eyeshadow palettes are caught in a beautiful, elegant packaging that, as the founder puts it, mimics her vintage gold bracelet, a treasured piece that she cannot live without. A long-time proponent of skin health, Palermo says her beauty line consists of “pieces that are meant to be celebrated and treasured, like heirlooms, but used everyday.”

Which is precisely the reason you should give these four products a go. The Prime Time Illuminating Serum is both a

high-performance primer and radiance booster that moisturizes and energises the skin, The Pre-Show Mattifying Mist nourishes the skin while settling makeup for a beautiful matte finish.

The Eyeshadow Palette is available in two different color combinations that are curated by Palermo herself, and the creamy Matte Lipstick glides smoothly and provides long-lasting coverage without drying the lips. The optimal combination of moisture and softness is available in four colors: a vivid Poppy for a seasonal “it” look, powdery Santa Fe, darker Chianti and a soft Rosebud for a perfect everyday look.

RIDE OR DIE FOR YOUR BROWS (& CO) Sure, there’s more glamorous things to do in your bathroom than plucking your brows or curling your lashes, but since the alternative (aka not doing it at all) is not an option, may we suggest you make it as enjoyable as possible?

Let’s face it: it’s painful, it’s boring and it’s something we always wish we could postpone, but the good news is that not all grooming tasks have to feel like a chore. Enter Tweezerman, a New York company that makes innovative beauty tools to style the latest beauty trends.

Their tools have not only won numerous awards in the industry for best in class, they are also used by professionals, stars and beauty connoisseurs across the globe and they, well, became the go-to name when in search for high-quality, precision tools for expert results.

Designed for durability and corrosion resistance, their high grade stainless steel implements are thoroughly tested; each precision implement is individually inspected and hand finished by their skilled craftsmen. All innovative, ergonomic tools are designed for optimum balance, comfort and control.

While their portfolio now encompasses everything from precision mirrors to scissors, extractors and lash curlers, Tweezerman’s cult product – as the name suggests – still remains the one we truly can’t live without when fishing for

those perfectly-shaped bushy eyebrows: tweezers. With premium tuned tension and perfectly aligned, hand-ground precision tips, Tweezerman tweezers close evenly and powerfully with the cleanest, most advanced traction.

So how does one get brows that are worthy of a star-status? The trick to make it less painful is simple: pluck after the shower, after you’ve opened up your hair follicles via hot water. If you don’t have time to jump in the shower, just hold a hot towel along your brows for a couple of minutes – you’ll be amazed by the effect. Apart from using high-quality tweezers (guess which ones we recommend), another trick is to grab hair by the base and pull in the direction it grows in; this way you’ll avoid swelling and potential irritations. And – last but not least – less is more. Try plucking only the hairs that grow out of the line on the outer, thinner part of the brow, while leaving the inner bit to develop natural volume.

Now all you need for that femme fatale look is a pencil to fill in the parts that are less bushy, a comb and a gel to lock in the shape. Perfect brows? Check!

S E R G E LU T E N S If anyone, Serge Lutens knows a thing or two about beauty.

Meet his exquisite makeup line.

Serge Lutens has been known for perfumes, but it also has an exclusive makeup line. Where does your love for beauty come from?

After arriving in Paris in 1963, I was creating the looks on the models – it wasn’t just makeup, it was the look; it was the hairstyle, the clothes. I was hired by Dior in 1967 to create his first makeup line and it was around then that Diana Vreeland called me a visionary, which was connected to my use of color and through it, the freedom of the era.

From 1980 on I worked for Shiseido, and in the 90’s, I started creating other things as well: scents, but also makeup.

Serge Lutens makeup line was launched in 2005.

74

N I C H E B E AU T Y COM

Was the makeup collection created with a specific woman in mind? To paraphrase: who is a Serge Lutens woman?

The Serge Lutens woman is a fantasy.

The makeup, on the other hand, is real. It ranges from subtle, barely-there neutrals to intense Baudelaire red. My makeup has two faces.

An ungrateful question: if you had to choose one must-have product from your collection, which one would it be and why?

The complexion is my top priority, it brings modernity. It’s where the inconspicuousness, the matte finish and the radiance truly count, which is why I would choose the Spectral Fluid Foundation N°1.
