The It List's Repeat Purchase And Best Loved Beauty Must Haves This Month

Rare Beauty Mascara

We saw a lot of hype about this online, and it is worth the hype. It doesn’t clump, its buildable and it gives great definition, length and volume. As someone who gets severe claustrophobia,  treatments that involve having your eyes closed are a no no! As someone who is not able to get a lash lift or lash extensions I am a tough critic of mascara’s and slow to recommend, but this is a big thumbs up!

Neostrata Vit C Cleanser

Kindly, people have mentioned to me that I have a lovely pregnancy glow, however I think that is merely a coincidence and a lot is down to consistent use of the Neostrata enlighten cleanser. I saw results almost instantly and it has become my daily cleanser as part of a two-step cleansing routine (I use a balm first to remove makeup and then this to deeply cleanse the skin)

Neostrata Enlighten Eye Cream

This is the best eye cream I have tried in a while, it clearly adds brightness to the under eye, makes your makeup go on much nicer and as a mum of a two year old, running a business with another baby on the way, tired eyes are a big concern and this as been a great help! Featuring a multi-action complex of Antioxidants, Peptides, Algae extracts and Vitamins C & E, it targets multiple factors that contribute to under eye dark circles. The look of crepey under eye texture and dark circles can be difficult to improve, but this powerhouse eye cream is a powerful solution to visibly rejuvenate the eye area.

Skinceuticals CE Ferulic

This continues to be an absolute favourite product of mine. I use it every morning as part of a 4 step morning routine and it is a constant reliable.

Skinceuticals Retexturing Activator

If you are experiencing bumpy or textured skin (which I seem to attract in pregnancy) this is the best serum to tackle it and was recommended by my facialist for my skin. I use this most nights and it really helps to control my slightly temperamental skin currently.

Lumene Lip Oil

If you love the Summer Fridays Lip Balms, this in my opinion is a better version, better colour pay off, longer lasting and packaging just as pretty!

Kinvara Body Oil

A beautiful Irish beauty brand and the body oil is exquisite. It leaves your skin feeling silky smooth, revitalised and smells like a luxury SPA experience. I am on to bottle number 3 and loving it!

Rare Beauty Blush - Shade Joy

If you want a hybrid blush and highlighter to make your make up routine one step quicker this is the prettiest product. A little goes a long way so use with caution but it gives the most beautiful luminous glow.

Kosas Bronzer

Kosas can do little wrong in my eyes, and their bronzers are absolutely gorgeous, subtle and easy to use. I have opted for a lighter shade for the winter months and it is a new favourite.

K-18 Air Wash

For a new product its funny to already say, I now can’t imagine life without this product, but its true!! Its worth every penny as it extends a hair wash or blow dry by at least three days, it doesn’t make the hair feel heavy and doesn’t feel like it is damaging the root.

Lumene Aqua Serum

This literally feels like you are quenching your skin with a full Stanley cup worth of water! It is the most divine every day serum. I have been using is religiously and it is the best wake up call for your skin. With beautiful gentle ingredients, it is my new favourite hydration serum. It also has some magic technology that feels so hydrating but is also fast drying so it is the perfect pre-makeup serum.

Lumene CC Cream

If you want to switch up from using a heavier foundation daily, this is the best CC cream I have discovered and it is so well priced. This brand is seriously impressing me. The CC cream blends like a dream, gives full coverage and has the same staying power as a foundation, and I often find CC creams have a tendency to go blotchy throughout the day – but not with this product.

‍

‍Ayu Cleansing Balm

This is the first step in my evening skincare routine, a beautiful non-sticky balm that melts your makeup off seamlessly without leaving your skin feeling guilty. I look forward to this step in my skincare routine every day!

Ayu Signature Eye Palette

I am guilty of owning about 50 eye shadow palettes, but this is the one I am now grabbing every time. Brilliant shades, great pigment, buildable and everything you need from day to night.

Perfume Love Don’t Be Shy By Killian

Sweet but sexy, my favourite daytime scent this season.

COSRX snail 96

When my colleague first said to me that she is putting snail slime on her face I was horrified but when I really started to notice her glowing skin, I was convinced and had to try it for myself! I am now on bottle no.2 of the COSRX snail Muchin Power Essence, it gives instant hydration but also works to repair the skin barrier. Especially in pregnancy when I am not using as many actives and stripping my skin routine back I am loving this product. Who knew snails could be sexy!!  

Treatments of the month:

Byonik laser at Ora Skin Clinic

A highly effective yet pregnancy safe facial treatment which instantly rejuvenates and brightens the skin with no downtime. It is expensive but highly worth it.  A multi-award winning Pulse Triggered Laser using trademarked technology that synchronizes dual laser wavelengths with your cellular rhythm to rejuvenate, repair, heal and protect the skin. This revolutionary cold laser re-energises and repairs skin cells from within, restores and boosts collagen production and elastin quality. Skin appears calmer, more hydrated and radiant from the first treatment.

Medi Pedi at Cure Nail Spa

If you’ve never had a medical pedicure it’s a game changer! I’ve recently discovered Cure Foot Spa in Goatstown and they do the most meticulous pedicure of all time! So you can have new tootsies for Christmas!!
