Shea butter, rice bran oil and black oat seed extract make up the lavishly rich formula of this nourishing body balm. Better applied in the evening when you’re not in a rush to get up and out, it makes skin feel soft and smooth. Delicious.

Another shea butter beauty winner this week. This one, a non-greasy but moisturising hand cream, which is always brilliant in my books. I generally love Soaper Duper for their affordable and yet super-effective and luxe-feeling products, and this hand cream now sits on my desk for regular application.

I’m already a big fan of the entire Moisture Surge range – the moisturiser, the lip balm and the concentrated serum are on a regular rotation in my repertoire. But this eye gel has now seamlessly joined their troupe with its cooling jelly formula that works really well as a morning de-puffing treatment, and also sits well under make-up.

I haven’t used a stick foundation in what feels like forever, but being a big fan of bareMinerals products I tried this one and I am fully back into it. The efficiency of applying your foundation with a stick, combined with the signature lovely lightweight bareMinerals formula makes it a multi-tasking dream.

This scent is summer in a bottle. With notes of mandarin, neroli, jasmine and cotton candy, to douse yourself in it is to transport yourself immediately to an exotic beach a million miles away. Quite simply divine.
