Murad Intense Recovery Cream

I love a new Dr Murad product and the latest product to arrive on my lap is the Intense Recovery Cream, which sounds like something I need a vat of after a day back in the office! Described as being a clinically proven, comforting cream for face and eyes, Murad's Intense Recovery Cream reduces the visible signs of stress-induced ageing and redness.

Said to be perfect for skin which is in the state of SOS, this cream is your one stop hydration shop in one little tub which is designed to work to unravel all the damage your skin is currently not happy about and to leave it moisturised, plump and soft to the touch.

What I love about Dr Murad's products are the use of ingredients, they have a reason for being there rather than just sounding good with an over-complicated scientific name which sounds as though it is made up of just vowels. So within this cream you will find the following:

• Shea butter for its moisturising properties
• macadamia oil which also helps to deeply moisturise and comfort skin which is severely dehydrated..
• Mirabilis jalapa plant extract, which is proven to soothe irritation and visible redness associated with sensitive skin and rosacea.
• Microalgae extract, which helps calm the visible signs of stress to reduce the look of expression lines, improve under-eye dark circles and restore radiance.

The ingredients above, not only work to deeply moisturise the skin but also to help relieve severe dryness and in doing so reduce the visible redness and signs of sensitivity. As always with Dr Murad there is a study, this one showed that after a month of usage, 88% of people agreed that their over-stressed skin looked much more relax and calm, 92% agree skin feels comforted and more hydrated and more interestingly 100% agree skin felt soothed.

The cream is incredibly rich and luxurious and it can be used both AM and PM or just on one of those, depending on what and how your skin feels. I prefer to use this as a last step of my evening routine, though have used it for both.  On the skin, you need just a small amount because it is a little goes a long way and whilst it is incredibly gentle on the skin, it works wonders on those dry areas, which for me is always one or both cheeks and between my brows.

Priced at £68, this is an expensive cream, but having used it for months, I am nowhere near finishing it and so far, it has ticked every single box of those promises it made!  You can find this cream with Murad*, Lookfantastic*, Cult Beauty* to name a few.

YSL x Zoë Kravitz London Sky Lipstick

This is a real pinch me moment for sharing my thoughts, for as long as I can remember, YSL lipsticks have been special memories for me, with shades that family members wore, to the very first big girl purchase of my first YSL lipstick.  Today, I am sharing the YSL x Zoe Kravitz collection.

The YSL x Zoe Kravitz limited edition Lipstick collection features shades inspired by the cities across the world that Zoe Kravitz, YSL Beauty Makeup and Fragrance Ambassador, holds close to her heart - when places meet colours, lipstick tells her story. 

I wanted to bring everyone on a journey that would show the key places in my life.

It is said that from her childhood memories of living in LA to movies being filmed in London, or time spent in the beautiful cities of New York and Paris, Zoe has chosen the cities and those landscapes.

This collection features 8 different shades and the luxurious, eye-catching silver case is said to have been inspired by steel city skyscrapers with a glittering iconic YSL cassandre to mirror sparkling city lights and it is every bit of luxurious to hold in your hands, as the description shares.

I have the shade London Sky which is a warm toned, almost medium dark plum shade and as someone who cannot wear a red lip, this is my shade, this is one I can wear that doesn't make me looked washed out and it is one I have not been afraid to wear.  

On the lips, aside from have a very rich colour coverage, its formula is smooth and with its creamy consistency it glides onto the lips where it stayed for a good 5 hours before fading with a need to be re-applied.  Impressively, it doesn't transfer as much as I had expected too.

The swatch above is completely unedited and taken in natural daylight so you can see just how beautiful it is.  As you can see, the description of it being a deep nude with a red undertone is absolutely spot on.

As well as London Sky you will find 7 other shades:

London: Deep nudes with a red undertone for a statement look and an urban feel

• Shoreditch Walk - a rich creamy chestnut red
• London Sky - A dusky mahogany Red

Paris: Orange reds, steeped in intrigue and excitement

• Lost in Marais - a burnt orange red
• Paris Stroll - a soft carmine red

NYC: Pure reds that take your look to the next level

• Brooklyn Baby - a classic chic red
• NYC Jungle - a red-carpet ready cool red

LA: Burgundy red - modern, fun and fresh in true Hollywood style.

• Midnight LA - a bright burgundy red
• Topanga Sunset - a deep magenta red

Every shade within this collection has been chosen by Zoe to work for every skin tone and if there is a shade which works for me, then there should be a shade which will work for you. All of these shades are available right now via YSL Beauty* and Selfridges* and they are priced at just £30 each.
