Autumn Beauty Favourites 2023.

As we head into the cold depths of winter, I wanted to take a quick walk down memory beauty lane to shine a light on the products that stood out to me during the warmer summer and autumn months. Here’s a look at a couple of my autumn beauty favourites.

Malin + Goetz Peppermint Shampoo

When I got this peppermint shampoo as a sample I was quite apprehensive about it (to be fair, I’m usually apprehensive about any hair care product that’s not specifically designed for coily afro hair). But as fate would have it, my trusty shampoo finished and this was the only other option I had available to me, and boy oh boy was I impressed.

Rich, minty and refreshing, I don’t think my scalp had felt that clean in a very long time. Not only did this shampoo effortlessly remove every sign of build-up, but it also gently cleansed my strands without leaving my hair feeling squeaky clean and stripped of its natural oils. Because the sample was so small, I only managed one full use of it, but the difference I saw and felt in my hair was like nothing I’d seen in a long time.

Tropic Skincare Skin Re-Leaf Moisturiser*

Tropic kindly gifted me their new Skin Re-Leaf moisturiser that promises to help protect your skin barrier and is especially good for those who tend to overdo it with the actives *cough cough* alice *cough cough* or those with sensitive skin. I feel like I fall into both categories so I was very excited about trying it – and it did not disappoint. Lightweight, but also kind of thick, this creamy moisturiser felt like a hug on my face (and still does), helping to reduce and smooth my texture, while also brightening my complexion.

let’s try the tropic skincare skin re-leaf soothing moisturiser for the first time #gifted #skincare tropic recently sent me their newest moisturiser and omg have i been super excited about it or what? it’s supposed to help with your skin barrier, and as i’ve been trying to get a handle on mine, i couldn’t wait to give it a try. now, as someone who constantly trying out new products and doing a bunch of different things, my face is prone to a pimple (or two), and my skin barrier isn’t always in the best state — it probably also doesnt help that i spend a lot of time in the city, but hey ho anyway, kind of thick but also kind of not, the skin re-leaf soothing moisturiser is packed with tamanu oil, tiger grass and leaf of life to help soothe, repair, moisturise your skin by fighting agaisnt free radicals and being anti-inflammatory. since filming this at the end of july, i’ve been using this moisturiser every single night without fail and i’ve loved the change i’ve seen in my skin. these days i’m seeing far less pimples, my skin is recovering a lot quicker from blemishes and my face looks so much smoother. and while i still have a way to go to fully get my skin in check (i can’t help that i like to try different products 😂😂😂), i like to think that at least i’m on the right track so if you’ve been looking into protecting and/or repairing your skin barrier, then this moisturiser could be a great place to start #skincareroutine #beauty #skincaretiktok #eveningskincare #skincareroutine #eveningskincareroutine #skinjourney #beautytok #beautytiktok #skinbarrier #skinbarrierrepair #tropicskincare #skincareuk

This moisturiser also came to me at such a great time because, since early this year, I’ve been focusing more on my skin barrier and ways I can keep it strong and protected. I love that since using this moisturiser, my skin looks so much smoother overall and feels hydrated.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush “Bichette”

If you follow me on TikTok, then this last one is a no-brainer. Since the very first time I applied the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush I was completely hooked and knew I would love the brand for the rest of my life. A nice deep pinky-red, Bichette perfectly complements darker skin tones, adding a beautiful colour to my cheeks. I love how smooth and creamy it applies to the skin, how effortless it is to blend, and how, depending on my mood, I can either amp it up or make it look more subtle.

This blush impressed me so much that since filming I’ve bought it in two more shades: Dou Dou and Poppet; and have my eye on Minette.

Although we still have a couple of weeks left to go before the end of the year, I’d love to know what some of your Autumn beauty favourites have been, or what products have caught your eye in 2023.
