Detox Original Dry Shampoo, £21 | Dry Bar
Few dry shampoos rival Batiste for me, but recently I’ve been loving this one from Drybar. It instantly refreshes hair using micro-fine powders that eliminate oil or greasiness, but what I love most is the extra volume it gives my hair. It immediately lifts my fine – often lifeless – strands and gives them extra weight and bounce that lasts for days. It’s ideal for extending the life of a blow dry, too.

Sun Melt Natural Cream Bronzer, £20 | Saie
This cream bronzer is one of the best I’ve tried. It has a smooth, blendable formula that’s easy to work with and layer up. The texture blends seamlessly into other products without turning muddy – I love using it to carve out some definition on my face and a little on the eyelids adds some extra warmth. Even better, there are plenty of skin-loving ingredients inside, like colloidal oatmeal, grapeseed oil and elderberry extract to keep hydration levels high.

Musc 25 | Le Labo
The name says it all – musky, warm and powdery, this is everything I want from a fragrance. It lasts for ages on the skin and gives you an immediately clean feel that’s so satisfying. It can be hard to get hold of, given it is limited edition, so for something similar, try Le Labo’s Tonka 25 which is slightly richer, but has the same creamy depth and unisex quality that I love about Musc 25.

The Face Bath, £95 | Skin Design London
There’s no denying this is eye-wateringly expensive, but my word is it good. With a milky consistency, you only need the tiniest amount – something that makes the price tag a bit more justifiable. As you massage it onto damp skin, it transforms into a soft lather that completely removes all traces of make-up and dirt – even stubborn, waterproof formulas. It exfoliates as it goes with a potent blend of AHAs and fruit acids, so when you rinse it away, you immediately see a better glow. If you have sensitive skin, like me, you’ll enjoy the addition of calming chamomile, bisabolol and vitamin E. A worthy investment if you’re looking to tackle several things in one.

Baume Shine, £29 | Violette_Fr
There are so many good highlighters available now, but I love this one from Parisian make-up artist Violette. It contains tiny amounts of shimmer which catch the light beautifully to give skin a glossy, healthy-looking sheen. You can use it anywhere – including the cheekbones, cupid’s bow, chest, shins or even over the eyelids for a wet-look lid. The creamy, balmy texture means it’s easy to blend out with fingers, so even make-up novices can work with it easily.

Arch-Ology 2-In-1 Clear Brow Gel, £25 | Beauty Pie
If you’re not fussed by colour and want to subtly enhance your brows, this is the product for you. With a tiny brush, it latches onto every single hair and sweeps them into place for well defined, but never stiff or crusty arches. It gives a glossy, laminated effect and really lifts the entire eye area. Though there’s no pigment inside, the clear gel naturally enhances your own brow colour.

Cuticle Balm, £11.95 | Navy
I’m not often wowed by cuticle treatments, but this one is truly transformative. A thick, velvety balm, it feels incredible as you massage it in. You’ll find it transforms from a luxe butter into a nourishing oil, and while it takes a minute to absorb, it’s the perfect before-bed treatment. Ingredients like aloe vera, rosehip and coconut oil soon get to work soaking up dryness and providing immediate hydration – great if you’re a regular gel manicure person, or if you want to revive brittle, weak nails.

Intensive Foot Treatment, £16 | Ameliorate
If you have dry, cracked feet, try slathering this on post-shower – it absorbs best when skin is wet – then pop some socks on top. While it doesn’t transform the look of your feet, it does immediately soften hard, callused skin and alleviates any feelings of tightness. It has the same, nostalgic scent as other Ameliorate products, which I absolutely love.

Ice Ceramide Moisturising Cream, £60 | Sunday Riley
I’ve spoken about this one a few times, but it’s worth the airtime. Thick and buttery, it gives skin a baby-soft feel and a glow that looks lit from within. Added ceramides soak up dry, irritated patches, while vitamin F strengthens skin for visible bounce and suppleness. Despite its indulgent feel, it’s never greasy or heavy, while the almond scent is so comforting. Ideal for anyone suffering with winter dryness, or those looking to up their moisture levels.

Eyes To Mesmerise, £26 | Charlotte Tilbury
Charlotte Tilbury’s Eyes To Mesmerise pots are one of my favourite launches from the brand. I love this ‘Rose Gold’ shade which has taken me a long time to finish – simply because you only need a little each time. It’s full of rich pigment that brightens and enhances any eye colour. Vitamin E keeps skin smooth and hydrated, which means zero wrinkling or flaking. I like to apply it with my ring finger and dab it on, but a brush works just as well. Either way, these pots are a game-changer if you want to create a quick and foolproof smokey eye.

Stylo Contour Des Yeux, £24 | Gucci
If you enjoy the effects of eyeliner, but want something that’s subtly impactful rather than heavy, these should be on your radar. They have a super fine tip that deposits colour exactly where you want it for neat enhancement. I love that they’re available in fun colours: I’ve used up ‘Bordeaux’ – a rich, wine tone – and smoky brown ‘Chocolat’, both of which are nice alternatives to black. They are easy to manoeuvre and allow you to create precise lines every time. Just be quick – once they set, they won’t budge until you remove them.
