Hyaluronic Happikiss
For the lipstick aficionado
There’s a reason why lipstick lovers have a penchant for Charlotte Tilbury’s collections, and it’s because they’re nothing short of spectacular. The brand’s new Hyaluronic Happikiss is no exception. Combining the conditioning comfort of a lip balm with the high-shine of a lipgloss, it’s your new go-to for a hydrating hit of colour. There’s eight sublime hues to choose from, including the legendary suits-all Pillowtalk, each infused with hyaluronic acid and c-peptide for intensely moisturised, fuller-looking lips in a single swipe.
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
For the one who's dreaming of an exotic getaway
Who cares that you’re not spending Valentine’s horizontal on a Brazilian beach? You can recreate that blissful, sun-kissed sensation with some Bum Bum cream. Infused with caffeine-rich Guaraná extract, this miracle balm works to tighten and smooth all of your favourite skin spots (read: bum, legs, arms – the works). Soothing Brazilian ingredients like Açaí oil, Cupuaçu butter and coconut will keep skin silky-smooth and soft to the touch. And if that wasn't enough, mouth-watering scents of pistachio and salted caramel mean this cream’s addictive aroma is sure to keep things hotter than the Rio sunshine.
Hair Wrap
For the hair care guru
Imagine giving the gift of good hair days – everyday. Well, this is it. Hand-made in London from the finest silk, this hair wrap is a genius way to bid farewell to bed head for good. You just pop it on overnight to wake up to smooth and glossy locks. A one-size wonder, it expertly cocoons an array of head sizes from little to large, protecting strands against the nightly friction of bed linen against hair cuticles (it’s this friction that can cause breakage, frizz and split ends). Safe for all hair types, expect a noticeable boost in hair growth and thickness, and more time between washes and blow-dries (hello second, third… and fourth day hair!)
