Pretty in Pink

Back to 20 under £20

1. Lip Butter

Price: £5
Stockist: The Body Shop www.thebodyshop.co.uk

The Body Shop’s body butters are like faithful friends – always there to comfort you when you need them – and the Lip Butter version is just like a mini version of our old favourites. Pink fans will love the cute little pot, which has enough zesty pink grapefruit balm inside to see you through the coldest of winters and beyond.

2. Predermine Candle

Price: £20
Stockist: Darphin 0870 034 2318

If you’re feeling a little, ahem, worse for wear after a heavy festive night out, chances are one thing you’ll be dying for (apart from a calorie-packed fried breakfast) is a long soak in a relaxing bath. Surround yourself with candles, like our new favourite, Darphin’s Predermine Candle, and unwind. The scent of neroli, rose and ylang-ylang brings on such a sense of calm, you’ll be snoozing in the tub in minutes.

3. Pink Leopard Bronzer

Price: £18
Stockist: Too Faced @ Boots www.boots.com

Like it or not, leopard print has shed its tacky 80s image and experienced something of a renaissance amongst the cool (and not-so-cool) about town. Now, even the beauty biz is catching up as ultra-hip brand, Too Faced, launches this pink, leopard-print blusher. Dust the cute little brush over the bronze and blush powder to get a ‘just got back from hols’ glow at any time of the year.

4. Jelly Soap Popsicle

Price: £5
Stockist: Warehouse www.asos.com

Yes, you did read right, this is a soap shaped like a lollipop. These lush smelling frivolities come in five ice-cream flavours – Loony Lemon, Watermelon, Lolli-Choc, Neopolitan and our personal fave, the Love Stick. Completely pointless, so why do we want one so much?!

5. Softly Tinted Lip Cream

Price: £5.95
Stockist: Bourjois @ ASOS www.asos.com

They claim Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz and Jessica Simpson are amongst their biggest admirers, and if this lip cream is anything to go by, we’ll soon all be joining the Bourjois celebrity fan club. The creamy lip gloss comes in six sheer shades, all mixed with plenty of macademia oil to soften and protect. As they say, if it’s good enough for SJP, it’s good enough for us.

6. Bathina Shower Cap

Price: £11.50
Stockist: Benefit www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk

For an ultra-glam shower experience (and to stop your hair going frizz-tastic from the steam), you’ve got to invest in a gorgeous shower cap. Benefit’s Bathina body version comes in a very ladylike shade of pink complete with kitsch retro print.

7. Enrapture Body Wash

Price: £18
Stockist: Space NK www.spacenk.co.uk

Space NK is the kind of place that inspires mixed feelings. On the one hand we love it because the boutiques are filled with the kind of gorgeous beauty stuffs we could spend a month’s wages on, but on the other hand we hate it, for never letting us leave without spending a hefty chunk of said salary every time we go! Besides stocking brilliant brands, from Laura Mercier to NARS to Bumble & Bumble, they also have a homemade range of their own. This body wash comes scented with blackcurrants, orange blossom and tuberose – yum!

8. Glow On

Price: £16
Stockist: Shu Uemura @ Space NK www.spacenk.co.uk

We’ve said it time and time before, but we’ll say it again – Shu Uemura really do make some of the best cosmetics around. These blushes come in a myriad of different matte and pearlescent shades from shocking pink to beautiful burnt coral.

9. Concealer

Price: £13
Stockist: Pout www.pout.co.uk

The glamour of Pout’s ladylike products means they’re always certain to make our beauty shopping list. The pink and white ribboned packaging of this concealer is only the beginning of its fabulousness – it’s also packed with Vitamin E and light-diffusing particles to hide any tell-tale blotches on your skin.

10. Rose & Co Petal Salve

Price: £5
Stockist: Rose & Co @ ASOS www.asos.com

Rose & Co.’s Petal Salve tin is so sweet we could eat it (although it’s probably not great for digestion). The pink, scented balm is great for chapped lips, but it can also be used on elbows, knees, heels and anywhere else you get a dry patch.

11. Pink Sequin Hair Clip

Price: £5
Stockist: Miss Selfridge www.missselfridge.co.uk

Bows are enjoying a big revival this season, gracing the hair of all the beautiful ’n’ famous (hello Sienna et al). This pink fabric clip is the kind of thing we buy without even thinking about its practicalities. Does it suit us? Does it go with any of our wardrobe? Who cares, it’s just so darn cute!

12. Single Eyeshadow

Price: £17
Stockist: NARS www.narscosmetics.co.uk

If there’s one beauty brand we all wish we could be wearing, it’s NARS. The purse-punishing prices might put you off a little, but once you try this long-wearing, crease-resistant and sheer eyeshadow you’ll be begging for more. Tip – try using a wet brush to transform this shadow into a liner. Clever!

13. Moisture Drench Wash

Price: £16
Stockist: Molton Brown www.moltonbrown.co.uk

According to the folks at Molton Brown, Rosella is ‘a wild tropical climbing plant with high levels of nutritious proteins’ which will nourish your scalp and hair. All we know is that this fancy shampoo smells great, works great and looks great on your bathroom shelf.

14. Pretty in Pink Tweezers

Price: £15.99
Stockist: Tweezerman @ Miss Groovy www.missgroovy.co.uk

Loved by practically everyone, Tweezerman make some of the best professional tweezers in the business. This kitsch pink set come with a life time sharpening guarantee and hand-filed tips apparently. But we’re more impressed by the colour, which means you definitely won’t be losing them in your make-up bag in a hurry.

15. Creamy Foaming Cleanser

Price: £17.50
Stockist: Lancôme www.lancome.co.uk

Drier skins can have a tough time finding a cleanser that doesn’t add to the problem. Lancôme’s creamy, foaming mousse cleanser is gentle enough for even the most delicate of faces.

16. Ooh La Lift

Price: £14.50
Stockist: Benefit @ HQ Hair www.hqhair.com

Benefit’s cult Ooh La Lift product has been around so long it’s hard to question how good it is. Pat the cooling pink balm onto your under-eye area and it’ll instantly help even the baggiest of bags feel perked up.

17. Soap and Glory Range

Price: £2 - £25
Stockist: Boots www.boots.com

As the Soap & Glory philosophy goes, ‘you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to moisturise one’, and boy do they stick to their guns. The sweet pink packaged range (complete with retro prints and cutesy titles) starts at a measly £2 from Boots. Even the most expensive item in the range will only set you back 25 big ones. Go get ‘em!

18. Kitten Classic

Price: £19.50
Stockist: Benefit www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk

This adorable powder puff from Benefit’s Kitten range comes with a pot of shimmering, glittery powder that you can dust all over your face, shoulders, neck and décolleté…or anywhere else you want to draw attention to!

19. Cherry Blossom Shimmer

Price: £16
Stockist: L’Occitane www.uk.loccitane.com

Moisturiser, perfume and shimmer all in one; this gorgeous body lotion from L’Occitane’s Cherry Blossom line gives your bod a light whiff of delicate, flowery scent and a pearly sheen on your shoulders, collar bone, upper arms. Three for the price of one!

20. The Perfect Pinks

Price: £20
Stockist: nails inc. @ ASOS www.asos.com

Nails inc.’s trusty nail polishes come in a mass of hard-wearing, chip-resistant and super glossy colours. Luckily for us pink fanatics; they’ve gathered together the best of our fave shades in one collection. The Perfect Pinks set consists of ‘China Town’ (metallic pink), ‘Shoreditch’ (coral pink) and ‘Pall Mall’ (baby pink). Pink-o-rama!
