The BD team test a range of products that’ll help anyone survive MBFWA.
Burt’s Bees Glossy Lipstick - Nude Mist - Georgie
What it is: Burt’s Bees Glossy Lipstick is a lipstick that delivers a natural shine. It is formulated with red raspberry oil, moringa oil and mimosa flower wax for four hours of long-lasting hydration and a smooth, glossy finish.
My experience: This was such a life saver at Fashion Week, I couldn’t have asked for a more versatile product. I find a lot of lipsticks incredibly drying but with the added essential oils, this lipstick kept my lips moisturised all day. Burt’s Bees have a knack of creating colours that suit such a wide variety of skin tones and this one in Nude Mist was so natural and flattering for me.
Palmolive Luminous Oils Shower Gel - Invigorating - Zoe
What it is: Palmolive Luminous Oils Shower Gel - Invigorating is a shower gel that contains macadamia oil with peony. The fragrant skin-care formula is infused with botanical oil and helps to gently, yet thoroughly cleanse the body. Use daily for soft and radiant looking skin.
My experience: This Soft Soap is lovely. The thick rich lather not only cleans your skin but also softens it at the same time. It has a soft fragrance of peony that not only left my bathroom smelling clean and fresh, but it helped me feel relaxed as well. The moisturising agents in the macadamia seed oil help aid the skin against harsh dry weather, making this product a must for winter.
Colgate Optic White - Laura
What it is: A whitening toothpaste that visibly whitens teeth while fighting plaque, tartar and cavities.
My experience: I loved this toothpaste as it thoroughly cleaned my teeth and left me with minty fresh breath! I used it daily, once in the morning and once at night and I did notice that my teeth started to look whiter than usual. I even got a few comments from my family! I will definitely be adding this to my regular toiletries bag.
Scholl Gel Active - Tash
What it is: Extreme comfort for extreme heels.
My experience: These soft gels easily slipped into my heels and were ready to walk on instantly. The gel insoles cushioned the balls of my feet and the little bumps incorporated in the design prevented any slipping. These gels helped relieve the pressure in my feet that builds up over the course of the day so my heels maintained the ‘just slipped on’ feeling and were even comfortable. Perfect for the pair of heels you love but hate to wear!
