GLAMOUR’s Empowerment Summit: £300+ Goodie Bag Reveal

For the attendees at GLAMOUR’s Empowerment Summit Manchester, in partnership with Samsung Galaxy Ring, on 3rd August, we obviously want to show you a good time. That’s why, alongside a whole roster of curated panels and game-changing live speakers – who will be discussing everything from how to nurture the power of self-love to developing essential skills to empower your work and life – we’ve also put together a truly elite goodie bag (worth over £300) for guests to leave with.

What’s inside GLAMOUR’s Empowerment Summit Beauty Bag…

And, for the beauty buffs who love a little more info, we’ve rounded up every product and why we love it below…

This gentle but mighty clarifying shampoo protects hair from heavy metals, minerals, chlorine and pollutants and removes product buildup so you’re left with the most vibrant hair colour and maximum shine.

Sustainable and socially conscious, Sana Jardin’s luxury fragrances do good (working alongside a women’s co-operative in Morocco to create consistent employment) and smell good, too. The handbag sized rollerballs are the perfect size for touching up the brand’s distinctive scents on-the-go.

This 10 minute eye refresh taps up Shiseido’s ReNeura Technology++ (which improves skin’s receptivity to active ingredients) alongside retinol to banish dullness, smooth wrinkles and reduce dark circles for a brighter, tighter eye area.

For some DIY nail artistry, you can’t get much better (and simpler) than Nails Inc’s Mani Markers, which allow you to sketch Frenchies, initials, logos and any dinky details you like straight onto your nails. Genius.

Forget green juices, this is a balancing blue juice, applied to skin, for blemish-prone complexions. It’s packed with microbiome-friendly prebiotics, bioflavonoids, vitamin B3 and zinc to slow sebum production and refine pores, hyaluronic acid maintains skin hydration, while copper PCA and malachite mineral extracts soothe skin sensitivity and redness.

Magic for coaxing a jaw-dropping flutter out of lashes, Refy’s Lash Sculpt features a unique curved comb applicator to separate, elongate and coat each and every lash for the most immaculately full and flared finish.

They got the name right with this one, Maybelline’s felt tip liner is hyper precise. The ultra thin tip gives flexibility, allowing you to sketch in the teensiest amount of delicate definition, or wing it out for some statement impact.

Given our skin hasn’t seen enough sunshine this summer to become accustomed to it’s glare, we’d highly recommend being armed with Pixi’s aloe, cucumber and chamomile-infused sheet masks for when our rookie complexions finally gets a good dose of UV. This soaks skin in the most satisfying, soothing and cooling cocktail of ingredients.

These lash clusters allow you to create all the volume and drama exactly where you want it. They’re pre-glued which is a game changer if you struggle with applying lashes (it takes care of a lot of the hard work you), and since they sit under lashes they give the most natural-looking flutter.

We love a multi-hyphenate and this smart exfoliating cleanser takes care of two steps (exfoliating and cleansing) in one go. It blends chemical exfoliants and physical exfoliants from biodegradable jojoba beads, with hydrating sodium PCA, to leave skin polished and refreshed. Consider this the perfect glow-giving switch to rotate into your routine 2-3 times a week.

We’ve been mesmerised by these little guys’ ability to suck out gunk and goo from spots in a few hours. It’s equal parts disgusting and satisfying, plus they’re almost invisible on skin so we’d wear these out and about without blinking.

Brightening vitamin C is notoriously tricksy to formulate with, but Dr Sebagh has found a way to deliver the most potent and stabilised booster by keeping the vitamin in powder form until you’re good and ready to use it. This can be mixed with your favourite serum or cream to give your skin a serious glow-up.

For a phwoar blowdry, this heat-activated cream smooths and seals strands, improves manageability and boosts shine. Apply it to damp hair pre-blowdry for a glossy, polished, salon-worthy finish.

Packed with skin barrier-building ceramides, this gentle cream restores and strengthens skin overnight and boosts its ability to retain moisture for fresher, healthier skin. It’s perfect for all skin types, but particularly those prone to sensitivity.
