COMPAGNIE DE PROVENCE Shea Butter Hand Cream
“For me, hand cream is a must-have in my handbag - non-negotiable, really. I'm all about keeping my hands moisturised around the clock. What makes the Compagnie de Provence Shea Butter Hand Cream unbeatable is the lasting hydration it provides, thanks to shea butter. The delicate scent is the cherry on top - not too overpowering, just the way I like it.”

L’OCCITANE Cherry Blossom Hand Cream
“There's a reason L'Occitane is known for their hand creams - they're super hydrating without leaving a greasy film on the skin. This one just absorbs in beautifully and leaves a gorgeous long-lasting fruity-floral scent. Plus the tube lasts ages!”

SVR PALPEBRAL Black Mascara Protect
“After struggling with itchy eyelids and sensitive eyes since I was a teenager, this mascara was an incredible find! It gives me long, full, clump-free lashes with zero irritation. Definitely a sensitive girl's essential.”

“Just a bit of handbag luxury - this petite but beautiful wood-carved mirror goes everywhere with me. Perfect for makeup touch-ups on the go and not nearly as fiddly as other compacts I've used in the past.”

EMBRYOLISSE Artist Secret Lip Balm Pink Nude
“As Summer graces us with its warm embrace, my makeup routine takes a lighter turn, embracing a more minimal look. The Artist Secret Comfort Lip Balm in Pink Nude becomes my steadfast companion – a handbag essential for those on-the-go moments. Its super-melting formula feels incredibly creamy on my lips and serves a dual purpose as a blush when I need a quick touch-up or wish to keep things minimal. It's the perfect addition to the routine of busy Mums like me, offering both convenience and a touch of effortless elegance.”

NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Gold Shimmer Dry Oil
“In the past, I splurged over $290 on a similar oil, so discovering the Huile Prodigieuse Gold Shimmer Dry Oil in two sizes at a more affordable price was a delightful revelation. This little wonder, tucked into my handbag, becomes my secret weapon for a shimmery glow on my decolletage, arms, and legs whenever I crave extra hydration. Its divine scent and the way it leaves my skin feeling supple and radiant makes it a must-have in my summer beauty arsenal.”

BON PARFUMEUR Eau de Parfum 106 Floral
“Damascena Rose, Davana & Vanilla: Bon Parfumer masters the art of infusing French luxury into their products, and the Eau de Parfum 106 Floral is no exception. From the elegant packaging to the extensive range of scents, it's a journey into French chic indulgence. My personal favourite, the 106 Floral, beautifully blends the enchanting notes of Damascena Rose, Davana, and Vanilla. It's a fragrance that not only embodies my cherished scents of vanilla and sandalwood but also adds a touch of Instagram-worthy allure with its adorable bottle. Leaving the house feels like stepping into a realm of timeless French sophistication.”
