‘Doesn't this Essie nail varnish have the best name? I'm not getting married, but my hands can still enjoy a party!’
‘I always insist that the secret to perfect skin is proper cleansing, so this gets a massive thumbs up from me. It makes any cleanser three times more effective, so any skincare used after works even better too. I noticed a big difference to my skin texture and clarity in three days.

‘I usually find mousse quite drying but this one's been enriched with some moisture-locking magic that leaves my skin really soft. The colour is really natural too – always essential.’
‘Love the creamy texture of these lipsticks - they glide on easily and stay put from morning meeting to after work prosecco (my screening process for any lipstick). My favourite shades are Fling Thing and Dare Me.’

'I'm preparing my hair for the ravages of winter with Aromatherapy Associates Enrich Hair Oil. I'm also rejecting winter altogether by hoping that the smell of the coconut oil will transport me to a sunnier setting (at least in my mind).'
‘I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect BB/CC cream that gives me just the right amount of coverage. After recommendations from the beauty team, I’ve put an order in for this Stila one which ticks all the boxes.’
‘This palette is a winter essential – sweep a big brush across the quad and dust over a sallow complexion for an instant pick-me-up. A versatile compact, it can also be used as a blusher, eyeshadow and highlighter if you use each square individually. A multi-tasking make-up bag essential.’
‘There’s soap and then there’s fancy, ridiculously nice soap. This falls into the latter – it feels indulgent and has given my bathroom sink some status.’
