The first instalment of Wonderglam comes just in time for the festive season. As we say goodbye to October and step into the best time of the year, Wonderland’s beauty team is rich in anticipation to discover what the beauty world is going to offer in the last two months of 2023. But, as we wait on the edge of our seats, let’s take a look through some of our favourite products from this past month, including juicy offerings from Rhode, Byredo and REFY.

Jones Road, Shower

There is truly no better feeling than stepping out of a piping hot shower, scrubbed and moisturised to the max — and Jones Road has captured this feeling into their first ever fragrance, Shower. With notes of neroli, orange blossom, and sea spray, this scent will leave you feeling fresh long after your morning routine.

Rhode, Glazing Milk

A staple that has been in our favourites for a hot second now, but one we can’t imagine life without, is Rhode’s Glazing Milk. Providing an essential prep layer to your routine, this lightweight, milky lotion boosts your skin’s barrier function and provides immediate, luminous hydration. This product truly is the underwear of skincare… you wouldn’t leave the house without it. It’s step you can’t afford to miss.

REFY, Red Collection

It’s November 1st and you know what that means… it’s officially the festive season! It’s time to swap out the pinky, beige tones with bold, berry reds. Luckily enough, REFY has just the kit you need to achieve this. Their perfectly curated Red Collection includes the infamous lip sculpt and cream blush in a scrumptious cherry shade. Tickle your skin this winter with this buildable ruby red collection.

Pat McGrath has gifted us this festive period with a fantasy infused eyeshadow palette, ideal for those who enjoy adding a pop of colour to their everyday. Ranging from a heavenly array of rich matte shades to shimmer metallic finishes, this palette comes in four variations — meaning there is something for everyone. And, able to take you from the office to after work drinks, it is just what we need this season. If anyone knows how to curate a palette perfect for the holidays, it’s without a doubt the shimmer queen, Pat McGrath.

Rose Inc, Softlight Skin-Smoothing Liquid Foundation

In the overwhelming world of foundations, it can still be hard to find a product that is crafted for dry, oily, acne prone and mature skin. But look no further. Rose Inc has introduced their Softlight Skin-Smoothing Liquid Foundation to the scene and it is everything you have been searching for. An ultra clean, non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t block your pores) formula that offers a smoothing effect with a soft-matte finish, this is a product for the people — made with all skin types, textures and tones in mind.

Byredo, Animalique

Byredo is renowned for their deliciously unique scents and they have just welcomed their latest fragrance, Animalique. Embodying the authentic human essence and primal instincts, this euphoric scent is home to lemon and bergamot notes, with warm floral hints and ambient violet touches. This aroma journey ends with a striking atmosphere of suede, amber and tobacco leaf. Think disco dancing, laughing loudly and sharing magnetic moments.

Chanel, Baume Essential Multi-Use Glow Stick

Nothing grabs our attention quite like a product that has “multi-use” in its name. Chanel has introduced their Baume Essential Multi-Use Glow Stick, an ultra moisturising, highlighting balm that is promised to melt into your skin and bounce off of the light around you. With six glossy shades to choose from, including “transparent”, this product is your makeup routine’s best friend. Whether you’re looking to sculpt, highlight or enhance your bare skin, Baume Essential is easy to use wherever you wish to use it.

“What makes you feel beautiful?” We asked Lucy Pemberton, Social Media Editor & Beauty Writer…

Double cleansing with Beauty Pie’s Super Healthy Skin, Hot Oil Double Cleansing Balm and then going outside for a long walk in the morning sun (if there is any). Also, getting into bed at 9pm and then waking up at 9am.
