Yes, we want to douse our hair in honey-infused oil. Insta sensation Gisou Honey-Infused Hair Oil is made by a Netherlands-based brand created by a family of bee-keepers. And Gisou has just landed in Ireland for the first time ever, at Brown Thomas Dundrum as part of the Planet Beauty edit. Luckily, it’s just as lovely as it sounds. Sometimes, a beauty product just absolutely hits the mark, and currently this is it – a glass bottle of hair-nourishing oil that’s made with sweet almond and coconut oils as well as honey from Gisou’s Dutch-Iranian founder Negin Mirsalehi’s own bee garden.
Honey is a natural humectant, helping hair to retain moisture. The pretty packaging and lightly floral/citrus scent adds to its appeal – there’s a hair perfume, too, that deftly avoids that horrible musky sweetness you get with so many similar products and instead just smells gorgeously spring-like. At €40 for 50ml, it’s a luxury hair oil, and it does feature silicones in the ingredients list, which is worth knowing if you prefer to avoid. I’ve only just started trying it out, but it certainly does smooth out frizziness and give a bit of shine and much-needed moisture to dry hair, in the lightest non-greasy way – and it adds a chic ray of honeyed sunshine to your bathroom shelf. Mostly, though, I just love the smell, and am spraying the hair perfume onto my sleeves so I can smell it for longer. www.brownthomas.com
She is the queen of no makeup makeup and even manages to make a smokey eye look subtle. When everyone else was going for heavy contour and laminated eyebrows, she continued to promote enhancing your natural features with simple tricks and smart product placement. If you have seen any of her videos, you will notice how little product she actually uses. Even Victoria Beckham commented how surprised she was when she went to remove her makeup after a shoot with Lisa on how little product was applied.
