There are so many different beauty products out there that it’s no wonder models and celebrities favour oversized It-bags.

NARS Multiple Stick
Don’t be fooled by the simple packaging of this cult classic - the product inside has been known to answer many a beauty prayer. Designed to be used on eyes, cheeks, lips and body, the creamy formula blends to provide sheer colour that’s ideal for contouring, highlighting and adding shimmer. Thanks to a foolproof applicator, it really is the best way to get a glow on the go.

We’ve recently discovered this nourishing balm from Dr Organic, and we’re pretty hooked. Made from natural ingredients, including cocoa butter and argan oil, the balm can be used on the lips and dry skin to hydrate, protect and restore.
