It’s the most wonderful time of the year—but cold weather is not always a friend to our beauty routine. The JolieTeam have picked their must-have winter essentials…

ADVANCED VOLUME RANGE
OJON
My (already thin) hair has been going through a bit of a dry, weak stage over the last few months. After some necessary research, I discovered Ojon. The Volume Advance Shampoo and Conditioner are rich in wheat protein and sesame seed oil, both of which penetrate deep into the hair shaft to repair and seal the cuticle. After just a few washes I noticed my hair felt stronger and—more importantly—looked super shiny and volumised.
CRÈME SMOOTH LIP COLOUR IN SIENNA
LAURA MERCIER
There is something about this time of year that makes me want to rock a bold lip. This punchy raspberry-red (or ‘brick rose’ as Laura calls it) has been my favourite all autumn. It’s a beautiful pigmented formula that has olive oil and vitamin E to keep lips feeling comfortable and hydrated throughout the day. The metallic packaging makes me feel very posh indeed.
BEAUTY ELIXIR
CAUDALIE
I’m a little late to the party on this versatile product, but boy do I love it! I’ve been using it as my everyday toner, and I also keep it on my desk and spritz it on my face throughout the day. As the fresh grape, mint, and rosemary hit my face, I immediately relax. I’m not really a matte kind of girl, so I’ve been using this to set my make-up—it gives skin a lovely dewy look.

OIL TREATMENT
MOROCCANOIL
I have really long hair, and it can be quite a challenge to maintain. In the cooler months my mane needs serious TLC to keep the ends from going all dry and frizzy. I use Moroccanoil’s Oil Treatment every other night after I wash my hair. I just run it through my tips and it works wonders—plus the smell is delicious, like a milky musk.
EXFOLIATING CREAM
RITESSENS
This product, which was featured in our October JolieBox, came into my life at an opportune moment. I was due to repurchase a new face wash when this godsend landed on my desk. I have quite sensitive skin and am typically wary of trying out new products, but since Ritessens is 100%natural and organic I didn’t hesitate. am pretty much confident I won’t be shopping around for another cleanser any time soon.
HIGH INTENSITY 24- ‘HEAVEN’ HEALING BODY BALM
BLISS
My obsession with Bliss began a few years ago when I discovered their body butters, and I haven’t looked back since. I love everything about the brand, from their packaging to their quirky product names. Winter can be taxing on my skin so every evening after I bathe, I slather on this thick cream to lock in moisture. It’s a rich formulation but sill smells light and fresh. I will be reaching for this all season long.

REVITAXIN CREAM
DR JULES NABET
I am always keen to try new skincare so I jumped on the chance to try Dr. Nabet’s Rivitaxin Cream, part of the brand’s anti-ageing line. I am a little paranoid about fine lines and wrinkles, especially around my eyes, so I like knowing that this product specifically helps prevents those signs of ageing. I am keen to try the Eye Contour cream next.
CLEANSING OIL
ANTONIA BURRELL
I got a sample of this from the Content Beauty & Wellbeing Store in Mayfair, one of my favourite hidden spots. The emulsifying cleansing oil leaves my skin clean, soft, and glowing—I was kind of hoping it wouldn’t work so well as it’s quite expensive and now I’ll have to buy it. I’m also using the Radiant Light Facial Serum, which has
made my skin progressively plumper and softer to touch over the past five weeks.
FOREVER PINK LIP AND CHEEK STAIN
JANE IREDALE
After all the hype around this product, I thought it was about time to give it a try. I can happily say that it’s now my go-to in the mornings. It’s really moisturising and comfortable on the skin and leaves a lovely radiant finish.
