Spell Loves: Spring 2023 essentials

From ultra-moisturising lip oils to perfectly coiled crochet hair, here are the essentials we’re reaching for this spring.

Ciate London

Read my lips

Lip oils are the perfect hybrid product that works to nourish and hydrate your lips, all while giving them an irresistibly glossy pout. Get ready to save on money and space in dinky makeup bags, as the latest launches come with impressive formulas that impart shine with zero stickiness and a sunkissed glow.

Don’t hate, exfoliate

It’s been five years since the ban on microbeads. So, if you’re still searching for an effective exfoliating alternative, look no further than Natural Jem’s African Exfoliating Sponge. Made from a reusable 100% nylon antibacterial net, it’s not a ‘want’ but a ‘need’ if you’re all about that smooth skin life.

All eyes on you

Eyewear isn’t one-size-fits-all, as we’ve been led to think. Protect your eyes in style – without your frame slipping down the bridge of your nose every 10 seconds – with Tribal ëyës. This Atlanta-based sunglasses brand has engineered their shades to suit those with wider nasal bridges and bigger alae nasi (the wings of the nostrils) for better comfort. Now, where’s that sun?

Top 3 brands for crochet hair

Tap into the allure of curly crochet hair with these selected picks from the Spell team. Customise big luscious curls with the African Collection Jamaican Bounce which comes in a tightly bound 26 inches. For efficiency, take advantage of the Urban Pre-Looped 4-in-1 loop system designed to cut down on installation time, as one strand is made up of four tendrils. And let’s not forget your little one’s post-Easter back-to-school style – Outre X-Pression Lil Looks is perfect for the classroom and playground.
