From the latest innovations to treatments to the most enduring skin care classics – the BRIGITTE editorial team included these beauty must-haves in their routine in August. And haven’t let go since then…
Thoroughly tested for over 16 hours “Party all night, stay all day” is the motto of this setting spray. © PR
Product: Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Fixing Spray
Price: 30 euro
Promise: The spray is intended to perfectly prepare the skin for makeup and then ensure that it lasts for 16 hours.
Effect: Like a transparent protective film, it is intended to prevent bleeding, fading and settling.
This is why the product convinced me: It really does what it promises. I actually tested the setting spray for over 16 hours, and my make-up still looked flawless afterwards: mascara was in place, concealer was only slightly in the wrinkles and shine was limited. I sprayed it on before the BB cream and after each subsequent step and patted it in with my make-up sponge just before it was completely dry. I could have done without the scent, but it disappears quickly. A recommendation for all skin types! One of the best fixing sprays on the market.
Sleeping Beauty Sleep in quick format Nice overnight? This doesn’t just happen with Sleeping Beauty. Editor Julika tests the “Re-Energizing Sleeping Oil Elixir” from Lavera. © PR
Product: Re-Energizing Sleeping Oil Elixir from Lavera
Price: about 16 euros
Promise: The Re-Energizing Sleeping Oil Elixir is intended to stimulate the skin’s own cell regeneration at night and promises extra intensive care while you sleep. The delicately enveloping texture with exquisite power ingredients should give me particularly rested and radiantly beautiful skin in the morning.
Effect: I take my nighttime care at least as seriously as my daytime care routine, with the only difference being that I pay even more attention to performance. And Lavera’s product definitely brought that. Despite its low price, the oil elixir manages to lie on my skin like a soothing layer that nourishes it all night long. How do I notice this? When I first look in the mirror in the morning, I always see a much more even and visibly calmer complexion. And the surface of the skin has also recently started to feel a lot firmer. I like.
This is why the product convinced me: First of all, it’s super easy to use, but the price is almost unbeatable for effective night care. In combination with the fact that my skin is now noticeably changing, I’m actually just amazed. This is a real game changer, especially in winter when my skin has a much harder time getting used to new products.
Individual me-time in the middle of the big city Munich has had one more beauty hotspot since July. In the Glockenbackviertel you will find an incredibly beautiful Junglück flagship store and you can also enjoy facial treatments there.

Product: Individual facial treatment in the Junglück Flagship Store in Munich
Price: approx. 75 to 105 euros
Promise: In addition to the entire product range, the first Juniglück Flagship Store also has several treatment rooms. Facial treatments are offered there. However, not “off the shelf”, but individually. The beautician on site will discuss your wishes, needs and whether anything specific needs to be taken into account with you before the treatment. For example, I have rosacea, which is why I didn’t use a peeling and the products were chosen to meet this need.
Effect: I am a big fan of individual treatments because every skin is individual and different. I felt very well taken care of at Junglück and particularly like the products because of their good tolerability. My skin was cleansed, purified and pampered with a mask. A facial massage was also part of the program.
This is why the treatment convinced me: Taking time for yourself is pure luxury for me! The Junglück Store is a perfect place in the middle of a big city to do something good for yourself and your skin. The beautician is very competent and you really feel like you are in good hands and advised. The store itself is also worth a visit!
Angel skin at Christmas time Editor Stella is thrilled with how soft the mask feels on the skin. © PR
Product: SPICEup Gel 2 Oil Mask
Price: 43,-
Promise: The Phyris face mask promises an energy boost for the skin with chili and pepper extract and is intended to ensure a youthful, radiant complexion. The spicy scents are intended to appeal to all the senses and the use of the product promises a rosy, revitalized complexion and a youthful radiance.
Effect: The oily texture of the mask makes it very pleasant to apply and after use the skin actually feels very soft and supple. This extra portion of moisture is the ideal protection against the harsh winter winds.
This is why the product convinced me: The PHYRIS mask is an absolute winter must-have for me! My skin tends to feel tight in the cold temperatures, but this PHYRIS oil mask works like a magic elixir! In addition to the pleasant scent, I was particularly impressed by the result! After using it, my skin not only shines more evenly in the winter sun, but the unpleasant feeling of tightness was also a thing of the past for the next few days!
