Coming In Hot: An Editor Shares 9 of Her Favourite Beauty Products For December 2022
It’s time to hunker down with spicy scents at home while putting on the glitz for nights out this party season. Here’s our edit of the best beauty buys to help you do both…
Spice Girl
Walking the line between masculine and feminine, the new Libre Le Parfum turns up the heat on previous iterations with a rush of ginger and saffron, tempered by an orange blossom heart and the collection’s common thread: lavender. Spritz it on and blaze a trail – literally.
Rise and Shine
A contender for the chicest highlighter on the planet, this super-sized powder is embossed with the moon and a bottle of Chanel No.5, while serving up a soft pearlescent glimmer on high points.
Star Power
Guerlain is ringing in the festive season with limited edition shades of Rouge G, including a dramatic plum with a texture so velvety, there’s no dragging as you swipe it on. The star engraved case also deserves a special mention.
Smart Soak
Infused with pink pepper, warm ginger and rich patchouli, this bath soak wraps your skin in the scent of a Moroccan souk, all while encouraging your mind to decompress and your muscles to relax.
Get Your Glow On
No less than 82 per cent of this medium coverage foundation is made up of serum, charged with hydrating hyaluronic acid and gently exfoliating mandelic acid. Expect a next-level glow-up even after you have washed it off.
Peace Out
The lovechild of a nourishing face oil and a skin-softening essence, this two-in-one product is laced with oat kernel, a superfood with pH-balancing effects, plus a host of vitamins that boost elasticity.
Culture Club
Marrying gut health to your face may not be obvious, but the microbiome has become one of the buzziest beauty terms of 2022. Here, lactic acid bacteria is deployed to keep skin hydrated and inflammation at bay.
Bags of Style
The cult of make-up minaudières is only gaining steam. Raising the bar is this lacquered black case that houses one Rouge Dior Lipstick and three refills ranging from hushed pink to pillar-box red.
Double Duty
Vitamin C isn’t just a summer staple to ward off damage from UV rays, it also stimulates collagen production. Given chillier nights call for extra back up, this serum features moisture-locking ceramides and cancels out dullness.
