DEPUTY STYLE DIRECTOR ZOE’S TOP PICKS

We round up our favourite products of 2023 and reveal why they’ve been given the style team’s seal of approval

Gisou Honey Infused

Hair Perfume £64

This launched at the end of 2022, but it’s been a revelation for me throughout this year.

My usual fragrance costs around £100, so not only is this cheaper, but it also has as much perfume power as a regular EDP. I spritz it over my mid-lengths to ends and it saturates the strands with a luxurious, honeyscented aroma.

Argan oil is blended into the formula too, so my hair feels soft and looks incredibly shiny.

E.l.f Halo Glow Beauty Wands £9 each

I adore Charlotte Tilbury’s liquid contour and highlighter wands but, at £30 each, they aren’t cheap.

These offer similar results, and come in Blush, Highlighter and Contour shades to suit all skin tones. I like the Blush Beauty Wand in Rosé You Slay on the apples of my cheeks, with the Contour Beauty Wand in Light/medium on my cheekbones and down the bridge of my nose.

Beauty Pie Le Smash Santal Shimmering Body Moisture Crème £19.50 for members

Whenever I wear this body moisturiser I get asked what perfume I have on, so it packs a scent punch.

The creamy sandalwood notes give it undertones of Le Labo, while the subtle gold formula makes me feel like I’m wearing a Tom Ford shimmer.

Murad Blemish Control Rapid Relief Acne

Sulfur Mask £44

In 2023, my skin very kindly reminded me that I haven’t, in fact, outgrown acne. However, it’s also the year I found my favourite breakout-busting product in Murad’s mask.

Yes, it’s expensive, but I promise you the price tag is worth the results. My spots always feel less inflamed after I apply it to my skin for 15 minutes, and by the following morning, my complexion looks noticeably smoother.
