Winter Beauty Favourites.
With the temperature taking a somewhat frosty turn the past few weeks, my skin has gone seriously dry. So, with that said, it’s time to bring out the big guns...
Neom Scent to Sleep Hand Cream
I’m probably Neom’s number one fan, no doubt about it. From their body lotions to their pulse points, they’re a brand that’s consistently great. This hand cream is no exception. It’s rich, nourishing and smells SO damn good. Even better, a little really does go a long way. I’ve had my tube since June, and despite using multiple times a day I’m yet to hit the bottom. This would make a dreamy Christmas present, 100%.
Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer
Smashbox, how I love you. As a dry skinned lady (as the intro to this post would suggest!), this wee primer has been my go-to since, well, the day I snapped it up in Boots. Again, you only need a pea-sized amount to cover the entire face, and boy-oh-boy does it do the trick. As I’m sure you’ll know, Smashbox are famed for their top-notch primers, but I think this may be my favourite of the lot. It helps foundation and cc creams to glide on to the skin, gives an extra barrier and of course, a zap of hydration too. It’s an essential for anyone looking for a little help in the skin department.
Essie Nail Lacquer in Angora Cardi
Although I’m pretty crap when it comes to painting my talons, when I do get round to it, Essie is my holy grail. With it being Winter, a deep berry is naturally the shade of choice, so Essie’s Angora Cardi fits the bill down to a t.
L'Oréal Color Riche Matte Addiction Lipstick in 103 Blush in a Rush
Y’can never have too many lipsticks, right? Prior to this, I’d never really dabbled with L'Oreal lip products, and I’m now kicking myself for not trying them earlier. This lil treat packs a punch in the opasity department, but doesn’t let-down on moisture. The packaging is also very slick. Love love love.
Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm
This is a long time <3 for me. Throwback to 2015 with this What’s in my Handbag post (cringe). The first thing I just have to comment on is the scent. It genuinely smells like chocolate orange and I am l.i.v.i.n.g for it. The consistency is also well worth a mention; it’s hydrating but boasts a matte-like finish which makes it ideal for wearing underneath lipstick. It’s definitely not the cheapest but you will have it in your stash for a v v long time!
Peter Thomas Roth Marine Algae Mask Intense Hydrating Treatment
I bought this as part of a mini mask pack when wanting to try the uber-hyped Peter Thomas Roth pumpkin face mask. The tube may be tiny, but you only need a smidgen for the face (there’s a theme here it seems?!) meaning you really do get to try out the PTR brand before paying the big bucks. You’re supposed to rinse it off after 10 minutes or so, but clearly I’m just a mega rebel as I keep it on overnight. Wild, I know.
Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate
Another beauty throwback. I bloomin’ adore this stuff. Everything about it. It just works. Redness, tone, spots; it’s pretty much magic if you ask me. Check out my full review of the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate, but to sum it up, you need this in your life. A bottle will last you about 18 months with daily use, so it’s well worth it.
Are you a fan of any of the products I’ve mentioned? Do you have any other hydration essentials I should try?
