£39.99 £258.00
I’ve spent my career behind the scenes developing products and advising beauty brands, so I know what really works. For this winter edit with TOYL, I’ve chosen six of my genuine favourites: a showstopping eyeshadow palette, an overnight skin rescue, a spa-at-home shower ritual, a lip treatment that doubles as colour, a scalp-and-hair reset and an instant eye perfector.
Together they’re worth over £250, and you can have the lot for £39.99.
Keep it for yourself or give it as a gift.
Either way, it’s a little bit of luxury for the season.

1. Isamaya Wild Star Palette / RRP £85
This is a luxurious mix of mattes and shimmers that work as shadows or liners, so it takes you from day to night. I also fell for the packaging: a weighty, substantial compact with a horse’s head, a lucky horseshoe and crystal embellishment. It feels every bit as luxurious as it looks. Vegan formula.
2. Zelens Melatonin B12 Overnight Repair Mask 50ml / RRP £65
I love a skincare quick fix, and an overnight mask always wins. This one is intensely hydrating, with melatonin, vitamin B12, hyaluronic acid and restorative ingredients working while you sleep. It’s perfect after a short or disturbed night, or whenever you want to look your very best the next day.
3. Aromatherapy Associates Support Breathe Shower Mist 10ml / RRP £29
I’m a trained aromatherapist, and I originally trained with the late founder of this gorgeous professional range. One of my favourite beauty hacks is to turn your shower into a spa moment. The steam releases eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, pine and tea tree to encourage deep breathing and real relaxation.
4. Gatineau Défi Lift Volumising Peptide Lip Treatment, Bisou 10ml/ RRP £33
This is a peptide-rich, moisturising lip treatment disguised as a gorgeous colour. It gives a glaze of warm berry that suits every complexion and looks just as lovely on no-make-up days. It’s a winter essential and earns its place in any evening bag.
5. Scandinavian Biolabs Bio-Pilixin Shampoo & Conditioner 50ml / RRP £5 each
These were designed for long-term hair and scalp health, but I also use them as a reset. The clean Scandi formula lifts away build-up from products and pollution, leaving hair brighter and fresher. My top tip is to use them before a colour appointment. I find my colour takes better and looks brighter.
6. Gatineau Miracle Eye 11ml/ RRP £36
Sometimes we just need a little trick to look fresher in seconds, and this is rightly named. Smooth a tiny amount over the lid and under and around the eye. It instantly perfects the skin while treating it with Gatineau’s prestigious ingredients.
Inside you’ll find a full how-to-use leaflet with my tips for every product.
Despatching from Monday 2nd November. Hope you love it!
