LBB Crew's Favourite Beauty Empties For The Month Of November 2024

This tint has been a saviour for me this wedding season. There were back-to-back functions, and since I’ve never been a beauty buff, doing full-blown makeup was not my expertise, so I turned to Earthy Rhythm Lip & Cheek Tint. Its multitasking qualities are simplified by the makeup routine, as I can put it on my lips, cheeks, and even eyes. It is highly pigmented and stays for a long, long time!

Prepping my lashes is the highlight of my makeup session, and Maybelline’s Hypercurl Mascara stays true to its name. It’s waterproof and smudge-proof, so even if I want to cry during the vidai at a wedding, my mascara will stay strong and won’t cry with me. Plus, the C-curl brush really helps curl the lashes from root to tip.

Kajal has always been my staple makeup product, so much so that even on days when I don’t feel like going through all the steps for a full face of glam, I invest a few seconds to apply my kajal. This coloured matte kajal by Kay Beauty is a refreshing addition to that routine. The colours are pigmented and give my eyes that pop, which helps me successfully hide my sleepless nights from the day before. They even last nearly 24 hours without any smudging or bleeding off my eyeline, and that’s just the best part! (Talk about a glamorous cry session).

This body lotion has been a staple in my bag for the past two years, ever since I decided to ‘routinise’ my makeup and skincare. The fragrance it exudes has had me hooked since the first time I applied it. I love the simple packaging, which has no frills or loud colours. It gives off a minimalist vibe and has floral notes with nourishing ingredients, including shea butter and aloe leaf extract. It keeps my dry skin happy during my stressful workdays. They also have catchy names and quite delicious flavours, which gives them extra brownie points!

The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask has been a winter saviour for my dry, chapped lips. It deeply hydrates and leaves a glossy sheen, making my lips feel soft and nourished. I added it to my PM skincare routine, and it’s been a blessing in disguise. The mask works overnight to repair and moisturise, leaving my lips plump and juicy by morning. Its smooth texture and delightful berry scent make it a treat to use, especially during colder months. I can confidently say that my lips have never been healthier or more hydrated since I started using this lip mask.

When the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence went viral, I knew I had to get my hands on it. And the virality factor is well-deserving. This lightweight essence contains 96% snail mucin extract, which is known for improving skin elasticity, maintaining hydration, and delivering a dewy, glass-like finish. It effectively addresses issues such as dry patches, breakouts, and hyperpigmentation while also reducing signs of ageing. The addition of hyaluronic acid helps plump the skin and retain moisture. Free from harmful ingredients like parabens and artificial fragrances, it's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Plus, COSRX is a cruelty-free brand, adding to its appeal.

I finally gave into the hype and got myself the much-acclaimed Indie Wild Champi oil, and I am happy to report that its one hundred percent worth it. Infused with Ayurvedic herbs, flowers, seeds, roots, and fruits for miraculous hair growth and volume, this hair oil is the true embodiment of luxury and efficacy. Just leave it on for a maximum of thirty minutes, and you will be left with the most healthy-looking tresses that are hydrated and nourished. Highly recommended for brides and bridesmaids who are preparing for the D-Day.

I have steadily become a hoarder of Fix My Curls products, and my new obsession is their Curl Quenching Flax Seed Gelly. Use it after their Curl-Quenching Hair Butter and experience curls that won’t loosen or open up as time goes by. This product is great for curl definition and hydration, but make sure to always use it on damp hair; otherwise, it will leave a crunchy finish.
