What To Add To Your Beauty Wish List Now
The must-have beauty products you’ll immediately want to ‘add to basket’, as chosen by the NET-A-PORTER beauty team
La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift
Why is it wish-list-worthy? There’s luxury and then there’s La Prairie Skin Caviar. This silky serum is a true beauty icon – and it works, too. If you’re consistent with it, it truly transforms skin for the better, whatever your concerns. Recently reformulated to include a double hit of La Prairie’s unique blend of caviar ingredients and an even higher dose of pure caviar extract (rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins and peptides), its sculpting and plumping powers are the next best thing to filler. What’s more, the lightweight, silky texture layers beautifully under your favorite cream and just a few daily pumps is all you need for a radiant finish.
Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops
Why is it wish-list-worthy? This Westman Atelier formula is not your average skin tint. Offering a dewy finish and an ultra-breathable texture, it gets the kind of results that makeup pro Gucci Westman is known for: truly healthy-looking, natural skin with just the right amount of polish. The difference with this tint comes from a whole host of skincare ingredients injected into the formula (including an anti-pollution and blue-light complex) to hydrate, calm redness and minimize pores. Press it over skin with your fingers or buff it in with a brush – it’s great for a sheer wash of glow-giving pigment. However, if you like a little more coverage, you’ll want to layer it up. Westman suggests also applying a foundation stick on pigmented or problem areas, before setting it with powder.
Le Labo Cedre 11 Scented Candle
Why is it wish-list-worthy? When the weather starts to turn colder, the warm and musky notes of Le Labo’s timeless soy-wax candle will add to the cozy ambience of an autumnal evening curled up with your favorite novel and a glass of merlot/cup of tea/hot chocolate. Inflected with the scent of winter greenery – think cedar, birchwood and gaïac – a little of this smoky, earthy scent goes a long way. You’ll only need a short burn time for your home to take on a blissfully toasty log-cabin ambiance.
Sisley Phyto-Lip Twist Tinted Balm
Why is it wish-list-worthy? Color is a big story this season, and these balmy lip tints from Sisley make it easy to dip into the trend. Opt for a vibrant fuchsia, coral or poppy hue to add an air of energy and freshness to skin, no matter what the season. Complexion-brightening shades aside, though, the multitude of lip-nourishing ingredients in this formula also delivers a replenishment of lipids lost during the summer months (cue moisturizing phytosqualane and smoothing Commipheroline). One coat delivers a subtle wash of color but, when layered, you can build up a much plumper, truly statement-making pout.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Eau de Parfum 724
Why is it wish-list-worthy? Inspired by the 24/7 energy of big cities, the newest scent from cult perfumer Francis Kurkdjian is ideal for everyday wear if you like a fresh and vibrant fragrance. But this is no run-of-the-mill spritz, with notes of jasmin absolute, sweet pea and mock orange anchored by sandalwood to give it both a clean feel and complex, urban edge. It’s exactly what you’d expect from Maison Francis Kurkdjian – olfactive bliss with an unexpected edge.
NuFace Brighten + Correct Super Vita-C Booster Serum
Why is it wish-list-worthy? Pigmentation, dullness and patches of uneven texture could do with a heavy helping of brightening vitamin C, but this NuFace serum also champions ascorbyl glucoside (great for sensitive complexions) and niacinamide (another five-star ingredient). It’s what experts call the dream team, since you’ll get double the brightening power without any of the irritation that can come from using a standard vitamin C serum. A little goes a long way, too, so tap a few drops into the skin using your fingertips and let it absorb thoroughly.
Unicskin UnicThermo-Sonic 2.0 Thermo Smart Facial Brush
Why is it wish-list-worthy? Not only does this high-tech cleansing brush from Unicskin efficiently purge pores and makeup, it also uses heated sonic vibrations to gently exfoliate, too. Flip it over and there’s a massaging tool to use around the eye contours, which is great for reducing puffiness and dark circles by boosting blood and lymph flow. Then, use it around your mouth or on lips to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Genius.
