Skincare, makeup, hair and body care, plus fragrance, wellness and beauty gadgets worth investing in.
There can be a lot of noise in the beauty space: ‘try this, buy that, plump, exfoliate, hydrate, rebalance, buy natural, buy science-led, reduce, add’, and so on, until it’s impossible to know what we should be investing in. But first and foremost, beauty should be about feeling good. I always like to focus on products and innovations that can help give an instant boost or a long-term pick-me-up. In my regularly-updated beauty luxury list I’ll be highlighting and reviewing new skincare, makeup, body and wellness products, plus trusted favourites. It’s not about needing them, it’s about wanting them.
