After you’ve ogled these Cracking Duos by Mavala (at Boots.com – more on them later!), prepare yourself for the biggest lip balm pot in the history of beauty blogging below…
OK in real life it’s lip balm pot size but it’s fabulous stuff and I could do with a tub of it to get through winter as my lips tend to dry out in very chilly weather – Bamford’s Botanic Lip Balm has been a bit of a saviour for me when snow season hits. £12 at Liberty’s (stocking filler alert!), Naturisimo and at Bamford www.bamford.co.uk
Bamford’s Beauty Balm 60ml (just over £20 at £22) is also a great do-lots-of-things balm to have on hand at the moment as well.
Right, on with the rest of today’s £20 and under discoveries…
INLIGHT ORGANIC’s little “test-drive” set. Cornish brand Inlight is one of those brands you get emotionally attached to – as in marginally co-dependent – and if you have never tried their range here’s a nice trio to start with. For £20 you get a cleanser, face oil and tonic. You’ll find it at www.liv.co.uk, home to Nourish, Weleda, Santaverde and more. Check out their new season gift sets with nice price tags.
MAVALA’S FESTIVE SETS from £5 at Boots
Mavala’s Nail Angels flew off shelves (or into the ether) in November and they seem to have sold out everywhere – boo! But Mavala’s Cracking Duos are £9 (ha – even better value, things are looking up already) at Boots.com in various complementary pairs.
We’re plumping for the DEEP PINKS DUO in Ruby and Velvet Prune (far left) or maybe the Nudes, for Sugar Plum Fairy lovers? (middle)
