These August 2016 cosmetics trends range from personalized floral fragrances to halal nail polish lines that target a diverse demographic of religious consumers. Other standouts include skincare innovations like pocket-sized collagen packets and lifting face belts that are a painless and non-invasive alternative to traditional cosmetic surgery treatments.
In addition, examples like plant-based facial cleansers and kale-infused haircare products are designed to improve the appearance of one's skin and hair without needing to rely on harsh chemicals or artificial additives that can be featured in most competing products.
Those seeking to invest in organic beauty solutions will also love examples like sparkling water face toners that are sprayed on conveniently to not only refresh but also moisturize and brighten one's complexion.
