Face Value
January and February can be a bit of a slog, unless you’re a hedgehog. So as we emerge from our hibernation spot with trepidation, squinting into the dawn of a new season, here are some beauty treasures I’ve been loving and some newness I’ve got my eye on, to help prepare us and our skin for brighter days ahead.
THE ORDINARY MULTI-ACTIVE DELIVERY ESSENCE £10.60
The Ordinary has just introduced their first ever essence containing four active ingredients to unlock our skin’s true potential. Interesting, innovative and hard working, I can’t wait to try it.
VIEVE SUPER SKIN NOVA £39
Another new and exciting skincare-makeup hybrid from beauty brand Vieve receiving rave reviews. Designed to prep, prime and lock-in moisture to take your skin routine to the next level. Mine is on order!
WESTMAN ATELIER PETITE FACE TRACE CONTOUR STICK £23
Velvety soft, easy to blend and layers well over liquid or powder products to give colour and definition. It’s a doddle to use, feels super luxe and I’m never without mine.
ERBORIAN SKIN THERAPY NIGHT OIL SERUM £52
A true skin saviour. It contains no less than 17 plant extracts that works hard while you sleep to smooth, plump, nourish the skin. Love it!
MERIT FLUSH BALM £26
Not only is the packaging cute and application a breeze, this is a beautiful cream tint that melts into the skin for a long lasting flush of colour. I went for Cheeky which is the perfect cool pink shade.
MINI BAMBOO FACE TAPPER £25
This pai sha tool is already in my cart. Grounded in Chinese wisdom, the gentle tapping works on energy channels across the face to boost lymphatic drainage, increase circulation and invigorate and revive the complexion.
GLOW & RESTORE MAKEUP BRUSHES
Easy on the eye and skin, this brand new collection of tools has been created with very clever technology, designed to work with your skin’s natural elasticity. These beauties are definitely on my wishlist.
BEAUTY OF JOSEON REVIVE EYE SERUM £15
We mustn’t forget our poor, tired peepers, so I have recently introduced this silky-textured serum into the mix. It provides nutrients and hydration without any stickiness and my eyes love it.
