Who doesn’t love a good Carmex product? This small, family brand has been perfecting their lip balms since 1937, blending the finest ingredients to create the most moisturising balms possible. I don’t know about you, but they're definitely a GLOSSYBOX staple favourite!

That’s why we’re so excited to be able to introduce you to the latest addition to their collection, their newly-launched lip tints! Formulated with natural and moisturising ingredients, they smooth and hydrate your lips, while adding a touch of colour too.
<blockquote>This lip balm doesn’t leave any sticky residue. Instead, it makes your lips immediately feel less dry and gives them a lovely sheer tint.</blockquote>
Personally, I just apply this lip balm throughout the day as required. If you want a shot of hydration, apply a thin layer. If you're after a more pigmented colour, add a couple of extra layers. Either way, it will leave your lips looking naturally more plump and full.

You can never have too many beauty sponges. The easiest way of evenly applying your foundation and concealer, this Beauty Egg by Unicorn Cosmetics can be used to create a flawless-looking base. It’s also a great tool for applying setting powder and contour.
<blockquote>This Beauty Egg is a makeup bag essential that allows you to create a seamlessly blended finish.</blockquote>
Simply dampen the sponge so that it almost doubles in size, then use the flat edge to apply your liquid or cream foundation. Finish off the look by blending them in using the round edge. Alternatively, you can keep the sponge dry and use the pointed tip to pat on your powders.

My favourite thing about this Beauty Egg? It’s really soft and easy to use, plus it’s latex-free and vegan!

Unicorn Cosmetics – UC Beauty Egg

Let’s face it, a matte lipstick just doesn’t cut it in the winter. You can’t afford to wear a drying lippy when the cold is already causing your pout to crack and feather. Instead, you should be opting for a moisturising formula, say Laqa &amp; Co’s Cloud Lips.

Infused with avocado oil, this highly-pigmented, full coverage lipstick helps to keep your pout hydrated all day long. Better yet, it delivers some serious colour payoff. You just need to sweep it onto your lips, then slip it into your bag and reapply on the go.
<blockquote>I’m obsessed with this lipstick’s hue. With a delicate purple and warm, pink tint, it is the perfect autumnal shade.</blockquote>
If you haven’t heard of this cosmetics brand before, you’ll be happy to learn that they are a New York-based company founded by a group of go-getting women who wanted to create a range of nourishing makeup formulas that make you look good. Their products are so well suited for winter!

Laqa & Co – Cloud Lips

You can’t beat a moisturising face mask this time of year. Providing your skin with some much-needed hydration while also giving you the time to sit back and relax, it is the perfect pampering winter treat.

Of course, when it comes to face masks, it doesn’t get much better than Vitamasques. Inspired by the routines and formulas used in South Korean skincare, Vitamasques decided to bring these same clean, cruelty-free and highly-effective products to the UK.
<blockquote>This face mask is a miracle worker. It made my skin feel so soft and look so refreshed after a long and tiring week.</blockquote>
Their Diamond Gold Dust Sheet Mask is infused with gold dust, diamond powder and pearl extract. Apply it onto your cleansed complexion, allow it to work its magic for 20 minutes, then peel it off from the bottom and massage in any remaining serum. Your skin will instantly look brighter and more moisturised!

If you thought dry skin was going to be your biggest concern this winter, think again. Limp, frizzy and damaged hair is another major problem. Don’t worry though! We’ve found the perfect solution: Noughty Haircare’s Intensive Care Leave-in Conditioner.
<blockquote>You only need to use the tiniest bit of this leave-in conditioner to really notice a difference in your hair. We’re talking smoother, shinier and healthier locks!</blockquote>
Formulated with 97% natural ingredients, it will help to revive your dry, frizzy and damaged locks:
<ul>
 	<li>Vitamin E protects hair from environmental stressors like pollution and the harsh weather.</li>
 	<li>Argan oil, which is filled with essential fatty acids, helps to tame frizz and fly-aways.</li>
 	<li>Shea butter helps to moisturise and condition your hair.</li>
 	<li>Noughty Haircare’s unique blend of plant oils works to strengthen your hair, preventing future damage. It also helps to smooth and add shine to your tresses.</li>
</ul>
To achieve these gorgeous results, all you need to do is apply the product onto clean, towel-dried hair. Place a small amount into the palm of your hand, rub your palms together, then gently comb the conditioner through your locks, working from mid-lengths to ends. You can then style your hair as usual. It’s a great daily boost!

Of course, your hair needs all the help it can get in winter. While a leave-in conditioner is great for a daily boost, you should also be using a weekly hair mask to help to keep your locks looking their best. That’s where the Novex Mystic Black Mask comes in.

Deeply-conditioning, this emollient hair mask is enriched with baobab oil. Its unique formula allows your tresses to instantly absorb a blend of nutritious ingredients, including rich and soothing vitamin A, C, D and E, as well as hydrating omega 3, 6 and 9. The result? It leaves your hair ridiculously hydrated and shiny, while also treating frizz, tangles and split ends.
<blockquote>This hair mask smells simply divine. I use it once a week to give my hair the extra boost of moisture it craves throughout the winter.</blockquote>
The advantage of this mask is that it doesn’t take too long to work. After you’ve washed your hair with a shampoo, comb this mask through your tresses from mid-lengths to ends. You can leave it on for as little as 3 minutes if you’re pushed for time, but I’d recommend giving it 10 minutes or so. Then, rinse it out and style as normal. The results will amaze you!

So many of you raved about the Golden Amber &amp; Coconut Oil Foamburst from our August Birthday box that we decided to introduce a lucky few to another one of the incredible scents in the range, their Pampering Lychee and Lotus Flower Foamburst.
<blockquote>I love how rich and creamy this shower gel is. It leaves skin feeling really soft and, better yet, it doubles as a really good shaving foam.</blockquote>
Blending lychee and lotus flower, this body wash is a treat for both your skin and your senses. As you squeeze it out, it creates a whipped cream-like lather that is 10 times more foaming than regular shower gels.

Simply dispense a couple of pumps into your hands, add a few drops of water, then massage it onto wet skin and rinse. It feels so luxurious!

When the winter blues start to take their toll on your skin, you can’t beat a shimmery bronzer. It adds warmth to your complexion and gives you a healthy, golden glow.

Luckily for you, our Limited Edition Black Fri-Yay box includes MUA’s raved-about Bronzed Perfection Shimmer. Boasting a highly-pigmented and silky soft formula that glides effortlessly onto your skin, it is a makeup must-have.
<blockquote>Its soft brown hue and golden particles will give you a delicate glowing tan. I use it as a bronzer, but it works great for contouring too.</blockquote>
Simply sweep the bronzer across your cheeks, forehead, chin and nose using an angled contouring brush, then blend it in. You’ll achieve a soft and natural radiance in no time! You’ll also be thrilled to know that this bronzer is 100% PETA certified cruelty-free and vegan. What’s not to love?

The dark horse of the beauty world, rice powder can really perfect the look and feel of your finished makeup. If you’re on the hunt for a great rice powder, look no further than the Limited Edition Black Fri-Yay GLOSSYBOX. It features Affect Cosmetics' <a href="https://affectcosmetics.com/en/face/loose-powders/168-matt-effect-transparent-loose-rice-powder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Effect Transparent Loose Rice Powder</a> which is formulated with mica and rice starch and can help to:
<ul>
 	<li>Control natural oils and reduce shine</li>
 	<li>Visibly minimise your pores</li>
 	<li>Soften fine lines</li>
 	<li>Reduce the appearance of wrinkles</li>
 	<li>Create a gorgeous, matte finish</li>
</ul>
For those of you who haven’t used rice powder before, here’s a quick guide on how to make the most of it:
<ul>
 	<li>Set Your Concealer</li>
</ul>
 After you have applied concealer, take a makeup brush and dip it into your rice powder. Dab a generous layer of the powder over your concealer and leave it to bake for a few minutes. Then, use a fan brush to dust away any excess.
<ul>
 	<li>Define Your Contour</li>
</ul>
When you have contoured your cheekbones with powder or cream, take a small makeup brush, dip it into the rice powder and apply a layer of the powder from ear to mouth on the area between your jawline and cheekbones. Then, take a beauty sponge and blend the powder into your skin by dabbing it over the powder, defining the line of your contour.

And voilà, you’ll have a perfectly defined contour and beautifully set concealer!

Our hands always take the brunt of the cold throughout the winter. I think we can all relate to having dry skin and cracked knuckles. It’s not a great time for your hands.

Don’t worry though, our Limited Edition Black Fri-Yay GLOSSYBOX includes a moisturising hand cream by Soaper Duper. That’s right! You’ll receive their Super Light Shea Butter Hand Cream.

Formulated with 98% natural ingredients, including shea butter, macadamia oil, coconut water, Aloe vera and kukui oil, it softens, hydrates and soothes your skin.
<blockquote>This lightweight hand cream soaks into your skin instantly, leaving your hands feeling soothed and nourished.</blockquote>
To make the most of your hand cream and rescue your dry skin this winter, simply massage a pea-sized amount into your hands every day. You can then slip this slim, conveniently-sized tube into your handbag and reapply it as needed.
