Your weekly trip to the supermarket to pick up eggs and milk just got way more exciting. Here are the top three beauty buys you just have to try…
Micellar water has been one of the biggest buzzwords this year, and Nivea have taken it to the next level with this pretty two-phase makeup remover. Give the bottle a shake to mix the two layers together and press a soaked cotton pad over your eyes to melt waterproof mascara (and the like) away. The magic behind this special formula are teensy ‘micelles’, that work to take away dirt and makeup without zapping moisture from the surface – because crepey eyelids are never a good look. Try Nivea Daily Essentials Double Effect Eye Make-Up Remover, $9.99
Dry shampoo is a must-have in every gal’s cupboard, but if you’re like me and hate the icing sugar-effect it gives your hair (which suspiciously looks like dandruff), you’ve probably been giving it a miss. Enter Batiste’s Strength & Shine Dry Shampoo, which invisibly refreshes oily tresses and leaves it looking nice and shiny, like you’ve actually just popped out for a blowdry. Try Batiste Strength & Shine Dry Shampoo, $12.95
I’ve been addicted to Palmer’s Cocoa Butter formula for years, but I think I’ve finally found a replacement… *cue drum roll*. In addition to their delicious chocolate-scented range, Palmer’s will be launching more yummy products in the new year, this time with coconut oil as the star ingredient. Together with sweet almond oil, coconut milk and shea butter, this nourishing moisturiser packs a serious punch against dry, scaly limbs. Need another reason to purchase this product? It’s also free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, gluten, sulfates or dyes, so it’s perfect for those with sensitive skin. Try Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula with Vitamin E Body Cream, $9.99 (Available January 1)
