The Spa at art’otel Hoxton

THE BRAND TO KNOW:
Kulfi
Celebrating South Asian beauty, Kulfi is the make-up launch we’re loving right now. Founded by Priyanka Ganjoo, the brand is all about experimentation, fun textures and playfulness, all wrapped up in high-performance formulas. The safflower seed oil-infused eyeliners glide on so smoothly but we also rate the Mehndi Moment Blush for a creamy, radiant finish.
