Five indulgent winter beauty products to perk up your day
TRANSFORM your beauty cabinet into an Aladdin’s Cave of goodies this winter.
Although your skin might be feeling parched thanks to the cold weather, battle back by investing in some luxurious products.
Check out Styletto’s top five winter skin heroes to keep you looking glorious, no matter what the weather.
1. Murad Hydra-Glow Aqua Peel, £40 for four treatments
DR Murad’s latest innovation allows you to take the beauty salon home with you.
The genius combination of an exfoliating face peel and hydrating treatment mask provides a must for DIY pampering.
For the ultimate skincare quick-fix, use this simple two-step treatment to unveil clearer, brighter and ultra glowing skin in under 15 minutes.
All you have to do is wipe the pre-soaked Glycolic Acid swab over your face to gently exfoliate before popping the miraculous sheet mask on top.
The mask is soaked in anti-ageing, soothing and glow enhancing ingredients like Aloe Vera, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B3 – basically food for your face!
My skin looked plumper and my pores were refined after the first use. I love how they come in packs of four so you can take one travelling with you to boost your complexion after a rough flight.
2. No.7 Restore & Renew Face and Neck Multi-Action Serum, £28
THE Restore & Renew range have added an exciting new addition to their award-winning skincare.
Described as the first ever face and neck serum to help banish wrinkles fast, their latest product has become a hero when it comes to anti-ageing.
When used daily under your moisturiser, this has been proven to firm and tighten the skin dramatically and by combining anti-wrinkle with anti-pigmentation technology – both for the face and neck.
Skin looks firmer, plumper and more refreshed after application.
This is specifically targeted to get rid of neck crepiness while helping to prevent wrinkles on younger skin also. No.7 claim it was tested in consumer trials on more than 1,000 women, and a 12-month clinical trial on 79 women, which supports new clinically proven claims for the neck as well as the face.
Ebay users are even trying to flog this product for up to £100 – so grab it quick!
3. Too Faced Born This Way Foundation, £29
THERE’S a reason why Instagram’s hottest MUAs are raving about this beautifying base.
Too Faced’s Born This Way foundation is a virtually undetectable medium-to-full coverage foundation that leaves skin looking lit from within.
Containing ultra hydrating coconut water and alpine rose, this base blends gorgeously whilst blurring perfections and covering redness and spots.
Providing ‘I woke up like this’ perfection, I love how naturally luminous the skin looks upon application without the cakey coverage some other medium coverage products can leave you with.
This can be built up if you want extra coverage and works like a filter by blurring out fine lines and imperfections.
Also looks flawless in photographs and lasts even after a sweaty gym session. 10/10.
4. Benefit It’s Potent! Eye Cream, £28
THIS cult favourite is among the best out there when it comes to eye creams.
Perfect for tired workaholics, it helps to reduce eye puffiness, fade dark circles and reduce lines and wrinkles.
This powerful cream is perfect for those who want a decent eye cream which does all the work for you.
Another bonus is that the jar lasts for months and months on end and can be popped in the fridge for an extra cooling bonus.
5. HIGlow High Intensity by Rochelle Humes Radiance Glow Cream, £7.99
If you’re looking for a lustrous golden glow like the X Factor’s Nicole Scherzinger, look no further than this stunning body cream.
The new range from Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes is not only affordable but intensely hydrating and luxurious feeling.
The radiance cream combines a soft focus, golden highlighter mixed with a moisturiser and gives the skin a dewy finish instantly.
A little goes a long way with this. A rival to Charlotte Tilbury’s cult Supermodel Body Shimmer at a fraction of the price.
