9 Products Our Editors Can’t Get Enough Of This Month: September 2022

What we’re loving, coveting and “borrowing” from the Gritty Pretty beauty cupboard this month.

“Embossed with a woven fabric texture, the CHANEL Les 4 Ombres Tweed Brun Et Rose palette is perfect for a subtle yet mysterious chocolate-hued smokey-eye. The combination of matte, satin and metallic finishes (inspired by the threads of Chanel tweed) are richly pigmented–offering many possibilities. Whether you opt to sheer it out or pack it on, the shades melt seamlessly onto the skin and are delivered in a perfect compact with a convenient mirror. Oh, and did I mention it comes with a matching tweed pouch? Très chic!”

“I don’t know what I would do without a blush nearby at all times. It is my makeup constant as I love the rush of warmth it can add to both the cheeks and the eyes. When I caught sight of the Gucci Blush De Beaute in 05 Rosy Beige, I knew we would get along. This blush is the biggest green flag I’ve ever seen. Between the chic packaging, hydrating and soothing ingredients list (thank you, hyaluronic acid), buildable formula and floral scent, this blush really does have it all. It is also super long-lasting so those rosy cheeks can join you into the evening. It’s a serious yes from me.”

Beauty Director & Executive Editor

“The L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Enriched Emulsion is my current go-to for a lightweight moisturiser. Perfect for layering under your other favourite products, it uses Immortelle Essential Oil from Corsica, a patented ingredient that’s rich in antioxidants and micro hyaluronic acid fro plump, hydrated skin.”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect with the Sally Hansen It Takes Two product but I really loved using it! The nifty design means you have your colour at one end and your topcoat at the other. And it’s super easy to apply as well. And with the miracle gel as the top coat meant my nail colour stayed put for a lot longer.”

Sarah Daly

Art Director

“Is there anything more luxurious than a decadent body scrub? I think not. So, I have been absolutely loving the Charlie Societé scrub at the moment. Designed to moisturise while gently exfoliating, the formula removes dirt and dead skin cells and is lightly fragranced with bergamot and grapefruit for an invigorating lift.”

Rose Garnett

Beauty Editor

“One of my biggest pet peeves is feeling like my lip colour is slipping and sliding around. I mean, who wants to go to the bathroom only to find that their lipstick is halfway across their face? Enter: the Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain. A hydrating lip colour that goes on glossy and leaves behind a soft tint, this formula is superior in more ways than one. Not only are the shades ultra-vibrant but they are also bleed-resistant which means you can nourish the lips and maintain bold colour all day long. The only problem I have is that I now want every single shade.”

Eleanor Pendleton

Founder & Editor-in-Chief

Rose Inc Satin Lip Colour in Graceful is the perfect everyday shade. As a subtle flushed stain, this lipstick glides on like a balm and wears like a long-lasting lipstick. It’s refillable and plumps the lips while drenching delicate skin in moisturising vitamin E and botanicals.”

Nicola Sevitt

Special Projects Producer

“Just in time for summer, the R+Co Bleu Lifestyler Volume & Texture Spray couldn’t have landed on my desk at a better time. The perfect styling product for adding weightless texture and pliability while helping to set your style and hold body and movement, this spray does it all. Plus, it smells amazing and leaves behind no sticky residue or crunchiness. It’s also cruelty-free and vegan which is a huge plus!”

Eliza Hynd

Head of Partnerships

“My hair is always craving a little extra nourishment. So, I was delighted to try out the Jaye Haircare Invisible Hydration Treatment this month. A highly concentrated cream mask that works to infuse deep hydration into the hair cuticle, I found that the formula was perfect for smoothing and taming my hair. With argan and avocado oil, you can also rest easy knowing it is doing good in the long run as well.”
