It was love at first sight (and smell) with Stockholm brand Byredo. Their perfumes, candles and hair mists are just some of the must-haves from the brand, and if you love unique spicy scents, I highly recommend my absolute fave, Black Saffron.

You might have seen these in the background of some videos by your favourite Youtubers, and while the candles come at a pretty steep price point, the jars are absolutely gorgeous and can be repurposed after!

If you’ve got long hair, you need a rounded brush for fuss-free blow drying. While most of us are more practical and unwilling to drop 80 bucks on a hair brush, you can’t deny that this Balmain brush would look amazing on your vanity.

We can’t get enough of home-grown brand Allies of Skin and their sleek black packaging. They launched the 24/7 Kit this year after the glowing success of the All-Day mask, and it contains a daytime mask, an overnight one, and a molecular toner. I am especially in love with the face mist toner.

Packaged in an all-white frosted bottle, this face mist is definitely Insta-ready. The mist itself is infused with hyaluronic acid and onsen water to give your skin an instant hydration boost. It’s also meant to strengthen your skin’s protective barrier.

If you’ve ever tried a cleansing brush and not enjoyed the feel of bristles on your skin, you need to try out a Foreo device. The silicone makes it a lot easier to keep clean and bacteria-free, and it comes in various colours depending on your skin type or needs. The device pulses as it cleans, boasting anti-ageing properties as well.

One of the best things about minimalist beauty product packaging is that the products are often unisex. Verso in particular has some great retinol products and an easy numbering system for you to follow if you aren’t big on routines.

Charlotte Tilbury has been a celebrity makeup artist for years, but her very own line of skincare and cosmetics only shot to fame in the last couple of years. Everything she makes looks and feels gorgeous, but her Magic Cream in particular has been a long time coming. She has said that she created the cream herself when she was just a makeup artist and had celebrities and clients all over asking how they could get their hands on her secret cream. Today, it’s a sensation.

While we have yet to try these, we’ve seen reviews and unboxing videos all over the Internet. These gorgeous brushes are highly unusual, but some of them come with rave reviews and make makeup application such a breeze. I love that they remind me of old-fashioned hair brushes.

I first discovered this brand a year ago when its Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner set crossed my desk, and a fellow beauty colleague told me that I absolutely had to try it for myself. The entire range has a wonderfully luxe vibe, and the products do have rave reviews. It’s definitely worth checking out the range on net-a-porter.com, especially if you’re looking to pamper your hair.

This one fits in both minimalist and glam categories, but the luxury of the cleansing balm alone puts this in a spot of glam. Check out Escentials stores for all the essentials from the gorgeous Eve Lom range.

I began to take notice of this brand when it appeared on several beauty Youtubers’ monthly favourites videos. This oil is packed with anti-ageing goodness, with a form of retinoic acid for elasticity, pores and wrinkles, and a unique ingredient called inky Blue Tansy which is supposed to have antibacterial, antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties.
