Urban Decay Naked Cyber Eyeshadow Palette
The cult Naked Eyeshadow palette family from Urban Decay has been treated to a cyber makeover where classic nudes have been teleported into a shimmery parallel universe. But while shade-shifting duochrome shadows and iridescent pastels may sound tricky to pull off, especially after a certain age, they are in fact universally flattering.
Reflective metallics can be used alone or as an accent, highlighting the inner corners of the eye or adding dimension to a classic smoky eye, while the blendable formula can be used as a subtle wash or dialed up to intense effect when wet.
bareMinerals Original Liquid Mineral Foundation
Sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to what we put on our skin. bareMinerals is not a brand to do things by halves but luckily for our complexions this new liquid foundation inspired by its bestselling ORIGINAL Loose Mineral Foundation is made with half the ingredients of other liquid foundations. That means no silicone, talc or oil with a next-gen, clean, vegan formula that is proven to actually improve the look of bare skin in as little as four weeks.
This light-as-air base offers a naturally luminous, born-this-way finish that doesn’t settle into lines or clog pores so all you have to do is wait for the compliments to roll in.
Hermès Les Mains Nails Collection
When fashion and nail files collide the result looks a lot like this delectable collection dedicated to on-trend digits. The French luxury house Hermès who first brought us the Birkin bag all those moons ago has turned its attention to hands as part of the third chapter in its ‘Hermès Beauty’ saga.
The range consists of 24 Nail Polishes inspired by colours from the brand’s famed enamel bracelets as well as a Base Coat, Top Coat and Nail File Set swathed in the signature Hermès orange. And with a handcream made from 98% natural ingredients and a 100% natural cuticle oil, you can be sure to wave bye bye to dry skin too.
Murad Daily Clarifying Peel
When your complexion simply isn’t playing ball, hit it (gently of course) with a triple whammy of skin-clearing actives to restore harmony and confidence.
This alcohol-free, multi-action exfoliating peel from Murad clears and smoothes in one simple step thanks to the unique combination of resurfacing retinoid, pore-purging salicylic acid and skin-smoothing glycolic acid. Simply shake the bi-phase formula, which is also infused with a blend of hydrating plant extracts such as seaweed and turmeric in order to balance and hydrate, and sweep it over cleansed skin as part of your evening routine. With 7 out of 10 testers reporting improved skin texture with breakouts clearing in as little as a week, the good skin countdown is on.
Jo Malone London White Moss & Snowdrop Home Scented Candle
Nothing gets you in the mood for the holiday season quite like a festive candle and this enchanting offering from Jo Malone London is sure to illicit feelings of extreme joy. Forest-fresh moss is sprinkled with a smattering of delicate snowdrop petals peeking through powdery snow, all warmed with golden amber and luminous cardamom for a taste of winter wonderment embodied in candle form.
The smooth iridescent scent and festive design are perfect for wowing house guests as well as elevating a duvet day. It makes the perfect gift for… well, just about anyone really.
