Cellularose Brightening CC Serum, N/ADuring the winter, my skin is really dry, so I tend to reach for hydrating creams rather than powders. This is a serious multitasker and helps to even out skin tone and illuminate my complexion instantly. Rosehip oil is a key ingredient, so it boosts hydration too.

Hourglass
Unreal High Shine Volumizing Lip Gloss, € 34,00If you’re not a fan of lip glosses because of the sticky texture, I implore you to try one of these. The formula plumps, hydrates and stays put all day without any stickiness. My favourite shades are Canvas, Prose or Ignite, but I love Icon or Cosmic for something brighter.
