Because it's Christmas and we all deserve a splash of luxury, I thought I'd talk you through four high-end beauty bits that I'm loving right now, but I also think make good seasonal purchases!
I didn't expect to love the Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm in Ripe Raspberry as much as I do, but it's a happy surprise! I've tried other tinted lip balms and whilst I've liked them, I've always found the colours to be a bit off. This is a pretty pink shade, with a hint of berry and not too much blue, it can be built up to quite a bold shade but I like wearing it as a hint of colour (I'm really favouring a natural look right now). The shea butter formula makes it incredibly moisturising and hydrating, and for a lip balm it's pretty long lasting. At £8 it's pricey for a lip balm but in the scheme of things it's not going to break the bank.
I don't know about you guys but this cold weather is wreaking havoc with my skin, it's really dry and makeup is just sitting weirdly on it. The Dr Jart Pore Refine Recover Primer creates a smooth and even base for makeup, and it's pretty hydrating too. You get a whopping 30ml of product in here, and less than a pump will do your whole face. A good pick for your winter base.
I've been reaching for the Jouer Creme Eyeshadow in Rococo a lot too recently, it's got a gorgeous soft formula that's easy to apply and blend, in a beautiful shimmery champagne that's perfect for low maintenance makeup days, or pairing with a festive bold lip.
And lastly, not a makeup pick, but worth a mention is the This Works Deep Sleep Stress Less Rollerball. Christmas can be a pretty stressful time of year and sometimes it's good to have on hand to help calm you down. And if you're struggling to sleep from sheer excitement? Well this has you covered there too.
