Glazed goals
Beauty obsessions are engineered to come and go. And yet glossy lips remain a permanent fixture. You can go for a run-of-the-mill lip gloss, but why, when there are glazes, oils, and jellies to double up on the shine factor. The latest launches are peppered with scientific jargon to reinforce the fact it’s not just gloop on a stick. Ciaté London’s nourishing Triple-R Complex rejuvenates, replenishes, and renews, and newcomer Haus Labs PHD Glaze is powered with vegan collagen and Polyplumper Complex to boost pouts without a needle in sight. For a natural approach backed by clinical results, try Kush Oil by Milk Makeup a hybrid of hemp seed and plant oils.

Spell Editor Review
By Jemima Cousins
Mum’s motto is: “Don’t to do things by halves”. So, if you’re going to book a facial, think Ilapothecary. Loaded with soothing and calming techniques designed to heal the appearance of hyperpigmentation and tension in the jaws and cheek – who knew we carry so much stress in the face?, my therapist read my skin like a Google street map. I was treated to LED light therapy, Gua Sha and Ayurvedic massages melting away the tired look and feel induced from too much screen time.
