Ormedic balancing bio-peptide crème
As the weather turns colder, my skin tends to dry up — love that for me. So I’m always on the hunt for a super-nourishing cream. I’ve just come across this epic product that does just that and it’s made with natural ingredients — which I love. Theormedic balancing bio-peptide crème has yummy ingredients like shea butter, mango butter and plant oils to nourish and replenish as well as organic grape water! The texture is super velvety and smooth and I swear it fills in my little fine lines — I’m actually obsessed.
Joico K-Pak Colour Therapy Luster Lock Oil
Of course, with the weather drying out my skin, also means the weather drying out my hair, but I've found another amazing product to remedy this little issue. The Joico K-Pak Colour Therapy Luster Lock Oil is my latest go-to. It's a super luxurious product at a price point that is way more friendly to my bank account. It tames those pesky flyaways, makes my hair super shiny and it doesn't make my hair feel greasy - how good!?

Osana range
Okay, for those that don’t know, I love my essentials as natural as they can be. Anything organic that isn’t going to leach the nasties into my routine — will always be a big yes from me. I was lucky enough to receive the range fromOsāna Naturals which came with an ultra-hydrating shampoo, and conditioner, as well as an uplifting body wash and body lotion. Now, when I tell you that these products had the most beautiful scent...Hoooly. I tried the body wash first and I’m sorry, peppermint & cucumber? This has quickly become my favourite scent to lather all over my body. I literally came out feeling as fresh as a mint on a pillow -for real. And the lusciousness doesn’t stop there, each one of their products literally feels like silk on my skin. I’m afraid I’ve fallen in real love.

Kit: Gua Sha Facial Tool + Aesop Fabulous Face Oil
I once saw Kendall Jenner using a Gua Sha, so Iwillstart using a Gua Sha. If there’s even the teeniest chance I can look half as snatched as Miss Jenner, consider me influenced. The supermodel style icon recently revealed her go-to Gua Sharoutine so immediately I took to TikTok to further my research -because that's where all good rabbit holes start, obviously. With my routine on lockdown and future non-surgical eyelift on the horizon, I’m eyeing up the kit: Gua Sha Facial Tool from MECCA. To pair with my sculpting tool, I need a face oil to help that baby glide. Enter the Fabulous Face Oil from Aesop. With a blend of juniper berry, Jasmine petal and Ylang Ylang, this concentrated hydrating elixir should get my skin supple and snatched in no time.

Emma Lewisham—Supernatural Vitale Elixir
This little elixir just became my holy grail. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding or just want a natural solution with clinical results, it’s well known that Emma Lewisham’s range is the answer. But it’s this absolutely groundbreaking new release from the queen of skin that has mothers and those soon-to-be around the globe jumping for joy. We call it ‘Botox in a bottle’, baby. Four years in the making and touted as a natural muscle relaxant, this product has been scientifically proven to reduce muscle contractions responsible for wrinkles by 91% after the first 24 hours. If you don’t believe me, simply look at the before and after results released by EL after clinical trials to see what a miracle this product is.
The Facialist Perfect Cream
I feel like I’ve bounced around between moisturisers not knowing whether to opt for spf based, tinted, or regular. But I think it’s high time I focused on a proper luxurious daily moisturiser that will do one job REALLY well. Designed to revive, nourish, protect, and brighten the skin with a potent blend of natural ingredients like niacinamide, prebiotics, and bakuchiol, the Perfect Cream delivers deep hydration while improving skin texture and tone.“We didn't compromise; Perfect Cream has everything you need from a moisturiser,” said Ashleigh, founder of The Facialist. “It is hydrating without feeling heavy, nourishing, plumping, and brimming with naturally active ingredients that work to even skin tone and texture.” Hence why it was called the Perfect Cream.
Nano lip treatment
As I age, it’s more so on my radar than on any physical shopping list, but my interest in lip tattooing can no longer be denied. At LashNoir Ink, this is no ordinary lip tattoo — with a focus on creating nude and naturally flushed looking lips rather than artificial colours, they’re set on ensuring the shape of your lip is enhanced. A little tweak in shape here and there can be a game changer by the ladies at Lash Noir Ink, where they use only the best quality fine needles designed for lips to layer pixels, shading your chosen colour over two sessions that will last for over 18 months!

Dermalogica—Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream
This new release has slid into my DM’s as of late and I am intrigued. Just like everything Dermaloigica does, this new eye cream is packed to the brim with only the best of the best ingredients. As a gal in her (cough) mid-thirties who loves natural skincare and hates all the fine lines appearing on my face, I can tell this product is going to solidify a place in my daily skincare rotation. Featuring the likes of Quinoa SeedExtract, Adaptogenic Astralagus, Electric Daisy Flower, CoQ10, Matcha Butter, Squalane, Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5. The Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream promises to immediately lift and smooth to minimise eyelid folds, firm the skin around the eyes to reduce sagginess over time and replenish and strengthen the skin to soothe the delicate eye area. What more could a girl trying to defy gravity want?
Ds & Durga—Cowboy Grass
As a self-confessed fragrance freak, your average everyday scent just doesn’t do it for me. It’s the complexities of a fragrance that really draws me in, and this iteration from one of my ride-or-die brands, DS & Durga is my latest obsession.“Perfect for robbing banks on horseback” is the tagline for this product with its notes of American sagebrush, flowering white thyme and prairie switchgrass from the wild western territories. It’s not too sweet, not too spicy, is just the right amount of herbaceous, and smells unlike anything else I own. You know the kind of fragrance that has people stopping you in your tracks to ask what you’re wearing? This is it. Just safe and natural results with no downtime — just healthier, glowing skin in the comfort of my own home. Yes please.
Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System
Another bad boy I need to invest in is the Shark FlexStyle AirStyling & Drying System. I’ve seen the evidence myself on none other than TikTok of how powerful this device is for thin and flat hair. Outrageous — absolute must-try!”

Westman Atelier—Baby Cheeks Blush
If you know me ... you’ll know I love my blushes, and I have been seeing the Westman Atelier blush sticks all over my feed, and on the cheeks of my favourite ‘it-girls’. The Baby Cheeks Blush can be used on both cheeks and lips, making it my future go-to beauty product (as soon as I run to Mecca and make the purchase). These versatile blush sticks deliver anatural ‘flush’ to the cheeks, perfect for that fresh and brightening ‘no-makeup, makeup’ look, which happens to be my favourite.
Shiseido Skin Glow Primer
Another product sitting in my shopping cart is the new Shiseido Skin Glow Primer. This is the perfect base a minimal-makeup girlie like me. You can wear it under foundation, or let the product work its magic on its own giving you a beautiful glowy complexion that lasts all day. Take my money!
