BEAUTY HOLY GRAILS WITH TWIGGY JALLOH
Twiggly Jalloh unpacks the products worth keeping close, from everyday essentials to the beauty favourites that never leave the bag.
Creed Eladaria
I’m a sucker for a gorgeous fragrance and an even more gorgeous bottle, and Eladaria gives me both. It’s feminine, fresh and addictive. It has a gorgeous balance of delicate florals and a rich, sensual dry-down that makes you want to keep smelling your wrist. It now has a secure spot in my daily fragrance rotation. It feels very put together without trying too hard. Just a note: you can’t be a gatekeeper wearing this fragrance. People will stop you and ask what you’re wearing, and you’re going to want to spread the love. It is simply divine.
Clarins Tonic Hydrating Oil-Balm
I’m already a Clarins Tonic Oil stan, so you couldn’t believe my joy when I discovered this cream version. It’s basically its richer, creamier sister. My legs can get really dry, so I love using this when I want serious moisture but still want that gorgeous, glossy skin finish. It melts beautifully and leaves my legs looking stunning. The signature aromatherapeutic Tonic scent lingers, and the whole application process feels like I’ve just had a treatment at a luxury spa.
Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Bath in Refresh Rose
When I want my lip gloss to make my lips look juicy - not just shiny, but juicy - Refresh Rose is my go-to. It gives that gorgeous, glassy, high-shine finish that makes my lips look instantly fuller and fresher. It’s also packed with marine collagen, jojoba, marula and coconut oils to hydrate and soften. There’s even peppermint and menthol for that fresh, cooling feeling. Lip gloss with a little skincare? Sign me up.
Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit in Espresso
If you go through my bag while I’m out, one thing you will always find is a brown lip liner. I especially love finding a proper deep brown that actually shows up on my skin. Espresso is exactly that. It’s rich, dark and chocolatey, with enough depth to really define my lips rather than disappearing into them. I love the creamy texture too; it glides on easily but gives me enough precision to really sculpt the shape of my lips. A good liner is essential - it makes every gloss or lipstick look even better.
Then there’s the gloss. The pièce de résistance to every look. I love a gloss that gives me that wet, reflective finish without feeling like your hair is about to become permanently attached to your mouth. Gloss Drip has this cushiony texture that makes my lips look super glossy, smooth and plush, and I love wearing the deeper Espresso tone over the liner whenever I want a rich, chocolate-brown lip.
