Highlighters are usually associated with the Summer months, adding luminosity and a glow in the sunshine. But if anything, I think highlighting is more important in Winter. Skin gets more dry and dull, so anything to bring it back to life is welcomed by me. Rather than the creamy formulations that I reach for during the warmer months, I opt for powder highlighters instead.
There are only two shades in the recent Rimmel Precious Stones Collection set of polishes from, with Diamond Dust being my only pick of the couple. There is a sparkly, ruby red, but I haven't got my hands on that one yet. Seeing how beautiful they are, I wish there were a few more options.
When I first saw the Acne Treatment Pads from Cane + Austin, I was sceptical. After hearing the Origins Spot Remover blemish treatment pads weren't that great, I assumed that these would be similar. After deliberating for a week or so, I decided to give them a chance and I couldn't have been more surprised with them.
When I'm after a dramatic eye look, but I'm short on time, I like to use a cream shadow. Some of the best I've tried are the Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colours, which achieve really high impact in a super speedy application!
Leighton Denny's Coconutty was released in the brand's Summer Castaway collection. But, I'm not a fan of wearing darker colours or nudes on my nails during the warmer months, so kept this polish until now.
At this time of year, I always notice an increase in the amount of parties and get togethers there are, as Christmas gets ever closer. With this in mind during November, I've been focusing on really getting myself looking and feeling as good as possible. Pampering and preening myself, I've been using products that nourish and help to banish any damage that the cold weather has done, ready to whip out my glad rags.
