The Best Beauty Products We've Tried In November 2022

Tan Luxe Super Glow
“As an avid tanner, the idea of an all-in-one hydrating step in my tanning routine was very appealing. Some face tans and serums dry out my skin and can sometimes cause breakouts for me. However, this serum has been a dream. The addition of hyaluronic acid means that my skin is hydrated during the process of the tan developing and leaves it quite nourished and plump. The depth of colour you want is based on the number of drops applied, meaning you can customise how bronzed you wish to be. My go-to has been 3-4 drops directly applied to the skin, leaving it to absorb and then following with a moisturiser to wake up with an effortless glow.”  

The Jojoba Company Jojoba & Enzyme Radiance Mask
“The Jojoba & Enzyme Radiance Mask is everything I could ask for in a core facial routine. As someone with mixed skin, this mask has helped to smooth and brighten my face. It's a non-irritating, plant-powered exfoliating mask that has been so easy to include in my weekly routine. Self-care and a great routine are high priorities on my list these days. After I started using the mask twice a week I've definitely noticed that my skin is looking and feeling healthier and more radiant – and so have my friends.”

Giorgio Armani Si Passione EDP
“An ode to late night rendezvous with Mr Big in the city. I have fragrances for all kinds of occasions, but this is my first scent for seduction. It screams high end luxury, and smells silky, bold and romantic. This is the kind of fragrance reserved for turning heads on an expensive night out. Strong from the first spritz, it’s best to spray long before you jump into that Uber, giving it a little bit of time to settle into the skin. While it has bold, rich undertones- its longevity leaves something to be desired, so be sure to bring this with you for a late evening top up, to continue smelling rich and elegant all night long.”

Mr Bright Smile LED Light Whitening Kit + Travel Case
“As somebody who is obsessed with a bright white smile and tried many other teeth whitening products in the past, I was keen to try out Mr Bright’s LED Light Whitening Kit. After a few days of using the easy-to-use kit, I was pleasantly surprised that I had zero teeth sensitivity. This was already a big positive for me since teeth whitening products I’ve used in the past had caused my teeth to be quite sensitive after using for a few days. Knowing the product is peroxide-free and supports sensitive teeth I was confident my teeth were safe from stripping my enamel over the course of the 3 weeks. And I’m happy with the results – my teeth are lighter and my smile looks brighter, a natural light colour which I like. Highly recommend, especially to those with sensitive teeth. I will also add that the kit is super easy to use, great for those who are WFH a lot!”

Clinique Pop Plush Creamy Lip Gloss in Black Honey
“Although I do wear lipstick from time to time, I’ve always been a gloss girl. In my opinion, you just can’t beat a glossy pout. Ever since my days on Roaccutane – where my lips would practically start to crack at the sight of lipstick – I’ve always relied on gloss for a pop of colour and a hint of hydration. In saying that, I’ve always been a fan of Clinique’s Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. The colour really does look sensational on everyone and the balmy consistency isn’t drying like other lipsticks. However, when wearing it I always craved that juicy, glossy finish. Well, Clinique has answered my prayers with their new Pop Plush Creamy Lip Gloss in Black Honey. It delivers the same uber-flattering subtle berry tint as the OG lipstick, but in a buttery formula that leaves a shiny, glossy finish. This is one of those rare products that I would recommend to absolutely anyone without hesitation. 10/10!”
