#1: CHARLOTTE TILBURY BEAUTY LIGHT WAND

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand - Goldgasm, £30
We’ll start as we mean to go on. This product has been a mainstay in makeup bags and bathroom cabinets since it first launched, providing a head-turning glow to any complexion. The Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand adds a subtle sun-kissed effect to the skin when applied to the cheeks, bridge of the nose and brow bone. And the best part? The applicator is built in, so it’s perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.


#2: SUNDAY RILEY AQUAMARINE MELT CLEANSING BALM

Sunday Riley Aquamarine Melt Cleansing Balm 140ml, £38
Nothing provides that at-home spa feeling like a good cleansing balm, and this Sunday Riley one is a true game-changer. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, it leaves skin plump and hydrated after washing away dirt, debris and makeup at the end of a long day. The oil-to-balm texture is nourishing and indulgent, with primrose oil and malachite for added skin benefits. Simply slip into your favourite pyjamas, gently massage it in with water, and wipe away with a warm flannel. That’s your relaxing winter ritual sorted.


#3: SOL DE JANEIRO DELICIA DRENCH BODY BUTTER

Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Body Butter 75ml, £21
Sol de Janeiro might have earned its stripes as a summer staple, but the brand’s rich body products are perfect for treating skin all year round. The Delicia Drench body butter is a slightly thicker cousin of the famous Bum Bum Cream, with a truly delicious scent imbued with vanilla, sugared violet and sandalwood. Work the emollient cream into slightly damp skin post-shower for locked-in hydration that lasts all day. (Plus, everyone will be asking why you smell so good).


#4: KIKO MILANO 3D HYDRA LIPGLOSS

KIKO Milano 3D Hydra Lipgloss, £12
If there’s one product every handbag, makeup bag and coat pocket needs, it’s a good lip gloss. The KIKO Milano 3D Hydra Lipgloss is the perfect blend of nourishing balm and showstopping shine. The soft, lightweight formula doesn’t leave that dreaded sticky residue – so you can neatly plump up your pout during the wettest and windiest winter commutes. The shimmer finish is subtle enough to leave people guessing, providing the perfect no-makeup makeup look for any occasion. You’ll also be surprised by how long the colour lasts.
#5: HAIR BY SAM MCKNIGHT HAPPY ENDINGS BALM

Hair By Sam McKnight Happy Endings Mini Nourishing Balm 30ml, £22
Finally, a treat for your hair. Wine and rain are always wreaking havoc on our barnets during the festive season – but this Sam McKnight Happy Endings balm was designed to smooth, nourish, and treat any damaged ends and frizzy flyaways. Containing pro-vitamin B5 and shea butter, this handy product seals split ends, defluffs and defines for a sleek hairstyle in a pinch.
