The Luxe List

When it comes to daily moisturisers, one of my most re-purchased products is Pixi’s Ceramide Rose Face Cream. It’s lightweight whilst being ultra-hydrating, and it leaves skin with the prettiest dewy finish which is perfect for makeup application. It’s one of those creams which I always keep a tube in my stash, and if my skin is feeling parched or sensitised, it works to restore things back to normal. So, when Pixi sent over their Skin Treats, it felt pretty much like Christmas.

In the line-up there is a wonderfully grainy body scrub, and body wash which is perfect for daily use, but by far, my favourite of the trio is the Body Balm. With a texture which feels almost identical to the Ceramide face cream, the balm is beautifully silky to apply. It’s not got a recognisable scent, so it’s perfect if you like to keep things neutral, and it leaves skin feeling so healthy and silky soft. There’s no greasiness or stickiness, and my skin just drinks the formula right up.

Pixi Body Balm is priced at £24 and is available here (UK) and here (US)

When it comes to hairbrushes, I am insanely picky. I use a different one in the morning than I do at night, and I can’t stand it when they feel like they’re ripping every hair out from the root. So, when SoEco sent over their Detangling Leaf Brush I was intrigued.

Unlike my usual bristle numbers, SoEco’s brush has a lightweight leaf design, with relatively long, flexible bristles. Designed to gently detangle hair, I’ve fallen in love with it for post-shower brushing. Even when my hair feels like it’s in a single mass, the brush gently unknots, leaving it ready for styling. It’s open design also helps to speed up the drying process – perfect for busy mornings!

SoEco Biodegradable Detangling Leaf Brush is priced at £9 and is available here.

When it comes to must-have summer skincare, a really great mist can’t be overlooked. From prepping freshly cleansed skin, to finishing makeup looks (and preventing the dreaded cake face), there’s nothing handier to have. So, when Image Skincare sent over their new Vital C Hydrating Facial Mist a few weeks ago, the timing couldn’t have been better. Designed to multitask, the mist mixes hydration with vitamin C and luxe gold sub-microparticles, so it helps to shield the skin against daily environmental stressors – perfect now that life is heading towards some sort of ‘normal’!

With a soft, slightly citrusy scent, the mist feels perfect for summer spritzing, and I love the fact that it leaves skin with a velvety soft, dewy finish. If, like me, you sometimes feel that you want to scrape your foundation off once it hits noon, try giving yourself a little pep with a mist like this one – it really makes me feel brand new (and makes my makeup look and feel super fresh too!)

Image Skincare Vital C Hydrating Facial Mist is priced at £38 and is available here.

When it comes to skincare, I don’t think you can underestimate the value of a great facial spritz. They’re one of my most reached-for products, and I love using them on both bare skin, and once I’ve got makeup on, and there’s nothing better than a quick spritz during the day.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been loving Heritage Store’s Rosewater & Glycerin. A generous 237ml, the formula is formulated to be the ultimate skin hydrator. With Rosewater, Glycerine and Vor-Mag Water (which has been magnetised and ‘vortexed’ to increase its energy and vibration) it’s perfect for skin like mine, which always appreciates a hit of hydration. After cleansing in the morning, I give my face a quick spray when I’m coming out the shower, then, once I’ve moisturised, and applied my makeup, I follow up with another spritz. It stops makeup from looking too heavy or feeling too cake-y and I always feel like it makes powder formulas look way more natural too!

Heritage Store Rosewater & Glycerine is priced at £10.99 and is available here.
