While editing products for our upcoming December luxe issue, beauty editor Lynette Botha couldn’t help falling in love with a few of them…

For feet

As sandal season swiftly approaches, feet need to be in tiptop condition. I’m loving the Charlotte Rhys Rituals for Feet range, specifically the Pumice Foot Polish, R89.20, and the Enriched Foot Crème, R56.22.

For nails

I love, love, love Mavala nail polish – it’s long-lasting, have great colour and one coat is generally enough. But what I’m even more obsessed with at the moment is Mavala MavaDry, R118.95. It’s a top coat that you apply over your nail polish and it sets instantly, prevents chipping and enhances nail colour. Brilliant!

For body

If you’re a body product lover and a fan of natural ingredients (like me) then you simply have to try Elemis Sp@ Home Frangipani Monoi Body Oil, R560. It is simply amazing and will leave you (and your home) smelling like an exotic island spa. Use it to moisturise your body (how about a massage?) or even on hair and nails. The product solidifies at cooler temperatures, so place it in a bowl of warm water to melt it.

For face

I recently tried out Gatineau Moisture Replenish Cream, R495, as my skin’s been feeling a little parched. I’d definitely recommend it for dry or dehydrated skin and it can be used morning and night. It absorbs quickly, leaving skin nourished and comfortable and the scent is divine.

For all-over

Jo Malone’s new Blackberry and Bay fragrance, R570 for 30ml, is intoxicating. One squirt and you’re transported to the English countryside. What I love about the fragrance is that it is not too sweet although it is fruity (like many of the current fruity fragrances are). I smell litchi at the start, but the actual notes include blackberry and bay leaves, of course, as well as grapefruit, floral notes, vetiver and cedar.
