SL Best Of The Month: March
The Vitamin Shot
The premise behind Lixir skincare is simple: products that deliver with minimal fuss, and this much-hyped paste is no exception. Its rinse-off mask formula means you get all the brightening effects of vitamin C without leaving it on all day and drying out your complexion. The creamy texture soaks into the skin, getting to work doing the long-term job of boosting collagen, protecting against free radicals and reducing pigmentation. The tingly feeling it leaves behind is hugely satisfying too.
Lixirskin Vitamin C Paste, £32
The Aeyde Boots
Aeyde is the cool fashion girl label putting quality and design first; offering stylish leather pieces with a directional flare – think a Western-inspired heel, or a snakeskin-print finish. This white pair is the stylish take on the cowboy trend that won’t blow your budget.
Kate Leather Ankle Boots, £265
The Refreshing Cleanse
Pixi recently dropped five new products in their ‘C’ range, but this is, without doubt, our favourite. It works best as a morning or second cleanse in your daily routine, packing a refreshing punch with hydrating probiotics, plant extracts and exfoliating lactic acid. It’s also laced with ferulic acid which helps to protect skin from environmental damage (like pollution) throughout the day. We noticed a brightening boost after using this for just a couple of days.
Pixi Vitamin-C Juice Cleanser, £18
The Chubby Hoops
Chubby hoops are the microtrend we love right now, and Laura Lombardi is the go-to brand to get the look. Team her affordable styles with messy hair for a cool everyday edit.
The Instant Glow-Giver
Wear solo to add subtle shine and radiance along the cheekbones, or blend together with shimmery, glitter pigments for the prettiest smokey eye ever. Easily one of our favourite beauty launches from Chanel for its diverse use and sheer texture alone.
Chanel Baume Essentiel, £33
The Vase
This bargain buy looks stylish with beautiful blooms or alone in its own right. An easy way to dress up an empty corner or shelf.
Ikea Gradvis Vase, £8
The Doen Dress
If Doen isn’t on your radar already it soon will be – the US label creates impossibly romantic, feminine dresses well worth the shipping fees. We love this puff-sleeve, ruffled style with its direct nod to the prairie trend.
The Must-Have Hair Tool
Hot brushes don’t get much easier than this latest offering from GHD. It gives all hair types the silky, lustrous effects of a blowout in ten minutes flat – no more. Another bonus is its built-in pearl ceramic coating, which means you can expect less frizzing and zero snagging as you brush through. Yes, it’s expensive, but thanks to the impressive results we saw on our own hair, we’re absolutely sold. A must-have for anyone looking to create that salon sleekness at home.
GHD Glide Professional Hot Brush, £125
The Denim Shirt
Channel the Western trend in this season’s crop of denim shirts; Ganni’s fringed chambray style is the modern way to work the rodeo look.
The Best In Base
It’s dubbed as a CC cream, but this delivers the coverage and radiance of a silky foundation. The formula only requires a few lightweight drops to blend over your whole face, leaving you with not only impeccable coverage but glowing skin too. The addition of SPF50+ is a nice bonus.
IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Oil-Free Matte Cream, £31
The Prairie Dress
Speaking of prairie dresses…this Joseph piece buys straight into the must-have trend, without crossing into dramatic, billowing territory. Perfect for everyday, add white trainers and go.
The Travel Essential
This trendy US export is the coolest label to know in travel. Delivering practical, functional and fun designs that makes packing easy to organise, while its lightweight shell makes schlepping fuss-free. Our favourite is this striking molten marble effect that will be easy to spot at baggage reclaim and give you travel style bonus points.
Calpak Hard-Shell Suitcase, £135
The Editor Jeans
Topshop is the undisputed high street denim champion, meaning the launch of a new style is big news. The Editor is straight and high-waisted, and comes in a selection of essential washes – plus with an unbeatable price tag, these are the jeans to buy now.
