Despite this bizarrely warm and sunny November we’re having, the crisp air and subtle hints of Christmas are starting to come through so it’s time to make some changes to your regular routine. By this, we mean spoiling the skin, topping up the tan, gearing up the glitter and hydrating the hair.
Check out our November beauty must-haves below and thank us later!
Huda Beauty – The Nude Palette
If you haven’t heard about Huda dropping this latest launch, where have you been!? The beauty industry, and our Instagram feeds, are going wild for these 18 pigmented shades and it’s already sold out TWICE since hitting shelves in the UK just two weeks ago. The glitter formulas are absolutely mesmerising and will get you in the party spirit. Our favourite thing about this though, is the sheer number of looks you can create with different combinations. It’s a little more spenny than some but trust us, it’s totally worth it.

Hairburst Volume and Growth Elixir
Anything that helps protect our locks in this weather gets the thumbs up from us but this fantastic elixir does so much more. Applying to wet hair helps to hugely increase the hair’s volume and also improves the quality and strength of each individual strand. You’d be lying if you said you didn’t see the results after your blow dry and this elixir leaves hair glossier after just one use. It has UV, heat AND pollution protection and the avocado and coconut actives leave the hair smelling super fresh too.

Balmkind lip treatment
We do love this time of year but cracked, sore lips are not part of the desired winter wardrobe so it’s essential to be protecting your pout. Balmkind is a treatment balm that’s packed with Alpine Rose and Lysine (great for preventing and treating cold sores), as well as liquorice root. This concoction makes for an instantly nourishing and hydrating feel on the lips and to top it all, there is no petroleum in these tubes of goodness, meaning the protective barrier isn’t just artificial. Our favourite thing about Balmkind? It’s available in SPF20 (as well as non SPF) and protects against both UVB and UVA rays

Cocoa Brown By Marissa Carter
An early Christmas miracle for washed out skin. This one hour tan uses accelerating ingredients to help it develop quickly and leaves you with a fast-drying, non-sticky, brown tan, all with Cocoa Brown’s signature Tahitian Gardinia scent. Super easy to apply when using the Cocoa Brown luxury mitt, you’ll have that festive glow in, quite literally, no time as it dries in seconds.

Jolen Cream Bleach
Let’s be honest here, the last thing we want coming through on our flawless party pics is that ‘above lip shadow’. Hair removal can often be a bit too aggressive on the skin which is why bleaching is quite often the right route. Gentle on the skin, a light fragrance, great results and a budget friendly pricetag make it a great choice this season.
