The beginning of the year is a good time to reevaluate things – including your beauty stash. Let’s start with eye creams. Most eye creams are useless, but StriVectin’s formulas are science-backed, so when they create a new eye cream you should pay attention. Too Faced chocolate mascara appeals because black mascara can feel brusque. Like the effect of the cold weather on hair – though Kérastase’s conditioner will help combat that. Louis Vuitton fragrances are sublime, but not a snip. Their collaboration with artist Yayoi Kusama is for anyone seeking an investment piece – or a reward for getting through a family Christmas. Another way to get your calm back is via Wildsmith’s shower oil. Skinworks is one of London’s best treatment destinations. Get a feel for it at home via their excellent new range. Kate Somerville is another facialist with a trusted product line and, like Murad, is a brand I always recommend. Another of my favourites is an essence. REN’s deeply hydrates skin without the heaviness of a cream and it is fragrance-free. Kiss My Lips scent is not. Created by jeweller Solange Azagury-Partridge, it was inspired by the first record she bought: Sugar Sugar by the Archies. She wanted to create something that smelled like “hot sugar and tangy lemon with a smudge of butter”. And it is delicious: sweet, sexy and joyous. Not a bad way to kick off 2023.
