This secret vanity from the editors of Paris Select Book will turn your routine upside down
There are products we buy. And those we adopt. In the shadow of events, fashion weeks and editorial meetings, the editors of Paris Select Book hone their beauty essentials. This season, they finally reveal their vanity. Objective: glow, care and sensoriality. Here are the essentials we’d like to keep to ourselves… but which we (almost) reluctantly share with you.
Complexion? Fresh, lively, worked without being
First thing in the morning: Terracotta Light by Guerlain. This cult powder is now available in a light, natural and refillable version. With 96% natural-origin ingredients and infused with Moroccan flower honey, it blurs, warms and sublimates all complexions transparently. There’s no material effect, just a soft, continuous glow, like after a weekend in the sun… without UV.
For those who want to prepare their skin right from the start, DreamBeam from Kosas is the new obsession. Part skincare, part primer, this SPF 30 base combines mineral sun protection, a sublimating peachy-pink hue and deep hydration. The result is supple skin, ready for make-up or to be left bare, depending on your mood.
The blush that does it all: Blush Filter by Huda Beauty
With its 11 adaptable shades, melting liquid texture and clever tip, Blush Filter ticks all the boxes. It offers that natural flush, that “filtered without filter” effect that editors love. Three drops, a few taps, and cheekbones come to life. You can even apply it to eyelids or lips, for quick harmonization on busy days.
Lips: careful color and absolute comfort
Halfway between gloss, serum and balm, Laneige’s Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum has become a reflex gesture. Modular, moisturizing and luminous without sticking, it gives transparent color, perfect for a nude complexion or to refresh a more intense red. It’s the invisible but essential accessory that dresses up every last-minute meeting or aperitif.
Effortless eye lift: Limitless Lash Mascara by ILIA
No vanity is complete without mascara, andILIA ‘s is a unanimous favorite. Eco-responsible, formulated with natural waxes and vegetable keratin, it lifts, defines and lengthens without clumping. The double comb works each lash with surgical precision, without clumping or falling out at the end of the day. Remove with lukewarm water, for make-up removal as gentle as its application.
Hydration? Multi-sensorial and high-performance
Byoma’s Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum awakens skin in the morning. Its immediate glass-skin effect makes it a perfect ally for tired complexions. Plant phytomucin deeply moisturizes, while peptides strengthen the skin barrier. It’s the serum that takes the cake, ideal for foundation-free days.
At the end of the day, or for skin that tugs, we switch to Yepoda’s The Glow Hero. This hybrid serum-oil with bakuchiol (the plant-based alternative to retinol) offers glow, comfort and anti-aging prevention, without ever irritating. Non-comedogenic, clean, ethical – even the packaging is eco-designed. Bonus? It smells divine.
The body: light, care and sensuality
In the most stylish Parisian showers, Sol de Janeiro’s Delicia Drench set is the trio to beat. With its shower oil, body butter and Cheirosa 59 fragrance, the skin is nourished, sensual and deliciously scented, without ever saturating the senses.
For bare skin in a summer dress or at a cocktail party, Rituals’ The Ritual of Yozakura Shimmering Oil has become the best-kept secret for luminous legs and tanned shoulders. The pink, gold and silver pearls blend seamlessly onto all skin tones, leaving skin as soft as it is radiant.
Hair: discreet care, maximum effectiveness
In today’s urban frenzy, spacing out shampoos without sacrificing scalp freshness is an art. Aveda’s Scalp Solutions Mist is your ally for longer-lasting clean hair. Anti-pollution, sebum-regulating, 98% natural and totally clean, it refreshes right from the roots. The anti-fatigue weapon for hair, to be sprayed without moderation.
What do we remember?
There’s nothing theoretical about this vanity: it lives to the rhythm of offices, shoots, galas and last-minute weekends. It embodies the kind of beauty that never tries too hard, but always gets it right. Glow, care, versatility. And above all, exacting standards for textures, formulas and results. Products chosen for what they do as much as for what they are.
