Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

After many years of searching for the perfect lip butter I unknowingly found it within the ever-growing offering from Summer Fridays. I shouldn’t have been surprised by this discovery given the brand’s cult status overseas but with equal parts nourishment, shine and subtle fragrance it’s a mainstay in my everyday routine.

Ori Lab Ends Remedy

As someone who suffers from thin and dry hair, a leave-in conditioner is a non-negotiable in my hair care routine but not all products are the same. That’s why I was delighted when I came across the Ori Lab Ends Remedy and discovered that it actually works for me. After washing my hair I apply a small dollop through my strands and twist it into a microfibre hair wrap. I let my hair partially dry, carefully brush it and then air dry. It brings out my natural waves without making my hair frizzy.

Charlotte Tillbury Beautiful Skin Foundation

If you love a dewy complexion and buildable foundation then the Charlotte Tillbury Beautiful Skin foundation is a must try. I garner compliments whenever I wear it and it manages to hide my hormonal acne for a natural finish. It’s the perfect product if you’re wanting to try Mary Phillip’s viral TikTok makeup hack.

Paula’s Choice Daily Pore-Refining Treatment

With sensitive skin I tend to steer clear of abrasive or intense exfoliation but when my hormonal acne flared up for the first time since my teens (sad, I know) I knew that a gentle active would aid in keeping my skin clean and clear. Having heard good things about Paula’s Choice I immediately jumped on the brand’s Pore-Refining treatment. It’s gentle enough to use everyday and doesn’t irritate my skin.

Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturiser

The product offering of moisturisers out there is down right endless and as the last step in your skin care routine it’s pretty important to find the right one. After trialling many different kinds I always seem to go back to the Laneige Water Bank Cream Moisturiser. It’s lightweight but nourishing and is perfect for day and night.

Aesop Eidesis Fragrance

Fragrance is deeply personal but when it comes to Aēsop’s range of eau de parfums I haven’t met one I didn’t like. My favourite? Eidesis. It’s the perfect balance between spice and wood notes making for a sensual fragrance for day or night.

Aceology Eye Masks

While eye cream typically replaces an eye mask for my day-to-day, I love Aceology’s eye masks whenever I’m looking particularly disheveled or when I’m preparing for an event. Put them in the fridge for 20 minutes for the ultimate de-puffer.
