Us mums rarely get a moment to ourselves. We spend a lot of time looking after other people and putting our children first! So yes, a little self-pampering goes a long way! But it’s not always possible to take a day out for an appointment at the local beauty spa, so we’ve hunted high and low for some spa day alternatives. We’re bringing you the very best ‘Style for Mum’ products, as voted for by fellow mums. These goodies are perfect for a quick pampering pick-me-up! Keep reading to find out which products came out on top in the Best Makeup and Best Skincare categories.
Best Makeup Product:
A full face of makeup is a bit of a luxury when you’re juggling a little one! But there are some quick, on-the-go products that can make you feel great about yourself. Perfect for slapping on before you walk out the front door, and ideal for that vanity mirror fix-up before you get out the car, our mums have crowned their Best Makeup Product for 2020. We are pleased to announce the winner in this category as:
- Gold – Superfood Tints (RRP £6.99 for 8ml) by Dr Lipp
About the product: “Adapted from our famous Original Nipple Balm which has 16 years of proven effectiveness and 170k amazing testimonials, Dr.Lipp’s Superfood Tints hydrate skin anywhere with a pop of natural colour in the sexy burgundy of Elderberry, natural pink of Sweet Potato and the soft coral of Red Radish! It is gloriously rich and long-lasting! The multi-award winning formula is made from 100% natural edible plant based pigments for naturally glowing lips, cheeks and eyelids.”
What our tester said: “It’s very easy to apply in a cute squeezy tube, and I love that there’s a choice of three! Another positive is that it’s 100% natural, flavour and fragrance free, and it’s also cruelty free. At 8ml each, they are a great handbag size. Because of the thick formula, you don’t need much at all. Elderberry is my favourite!”
Best Skincare Product:
Our skin is our biggest organ, but it’s one that we often forget to look after. So our product testers have been scouting out some of the most effective, go-to skincare products on the market to keep your skin looking and feeling amazing! We are pleased to announce the winners of the Best Skincare Product category as:
- Gold – Original Nipple Balm for Dry Skin (RRP £12 for 15ml) by Dr Lipp
About the product: “Famous for its gloriously thick, ultra-long lasting and instant hydrating effect! Historically used as a nipple balm, Dr.Lipp’s luxurious formula will rebalance, hydrate, nourish, soothe, plump and even help heal all types of dry, sore, cracked, itchy or sensitive skin anywhere. 100% natural, not 99%, free from additives, preservatives and fragrances. A small amount goes a very long way, so our hero is great value! One product, one ingredient, 100’s of uses”
What our tester said: “This is a lovely, moisturising product, which is very versatile! I love using it on my lips, as they can get quite dry in winter. I’ve found it to be really hydrating, so it definitely does what it says on the tin. I also like the fact that it has a very mild scent, and it’s reassuring to know that it’s 100% natural. While it’s not the cheapest product on the market, you’re paying for a super effective product!”
