Audrey’s Top Six Essentials!

We all need cheering up in February, so go ahead and indulge yourself with these pretty, pampering treats that will perk up your day nicely!

MARINE MAGIC

Many top-per forming face creams are rich in marine botanicals. New Seahorse Plankton Everlasting Radiance Moisturiser £19.99, Holland & Barrett looks set to join the stable. The rich cream with microalgae helps to smooth, hydrate and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

BLOOM AND GLOW

Art Deco’s Hypnotic Blossom range will make your complexion bloom. Go barely there with peachy matt vintage hydrangea eyeshadow, nostalgia rose lipstick and apricot azalea blush. Art Deco Hypnotic Blossom Beauty Box £10.80, shadows £5.70, blusher £9.10, BEAUTYBAY.COM

HAIR DETOX

If you’ve over-used styling products to revive lank locks during winter, try Herbal Essences Daily Detox Shampoo £3.99, from chemists/ supermarkets to remove any residue without stripping your hair of goodness. In 3 crisp scents for shine, clean and volume, they’re silicone/parabens-free.

FROTHY FACE-SAVER

Foaming face washes can leave skin feeling tight and dry, but new Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel £10.50, Boots contains active ingredients to gently cleanse and soothe sensitive skin, helping reduce irritation thanks to its extra-mild formula. Skin feels fresh, clean and baby-soft.

VINTAGE BEAUTY

The Vintage Cosmetic Company make the prettiest beauty accessories, all reasonably priced and charmingly retro – what’s not to love? On my wish list is a 50s-style Train Case £30, THEVINTAGECOSMETICCOMPANY.COM, with loops, pockets and plenty of space for your bits and bobs.

NAIL BOOSTER

New Essie Treat Love & Colour £8.99, Boots/Superdrug nail polish in delicate pastels has collagen and natural extracts to prevent peeling and breaking and strengthen nails while adding a hint of colour. Choose from lilac Laven-dearly, peach Tinted Love and pink Sheer to You.
