I firmly believe that I have the best job in the world.
Every day, I get to smell, touch and test the latest in beauty — and then take selfies with it.
Whether it’s a clever new formulation or a viral TikTok product, there truly is never a dull moment.
If this is our first time meeting, hi! I’m Jas, Adore’s new Beauty Editor.
I joined the team just over two months ago. Before then, beauty was a space I dipped in and out of but mostly admired from over the fence in fashion land.
There are three things you’ll always find on me: lip balm, a brow pencil and, of course, SPF.
You’ll be hearing from me regularly on Beauty IQ where I’ll be sharing no-BS reviews, helping you decipher what’s worth your money (and what’s not).
On that note, even though beauty writers are *blessed* with a never-ending supply of samples, there are some products I’ll gladly spend my money on.
Keep reading to see what I bought in my first staff order.
1. Habitual Beauty Rejuvenating Facial Oil 30ml.
What: Habitual Beauty Rejuvenating Facial Oil 30ml
Fast facts:
Hydrates and restores the skin barrier.
Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Retains water content, and brightens skin tone and texture.
Rich in vitamins and nutrients that deeply nourish the skin.
Contains bakuchiol, jojoba seed oil, squalane and more to nourish the skin.
Why I added it to cart:
Put simply, I love a facial oil.
Having dry, dehydration-prone skin, I have to work twice as hard to keep my skin nourished. So facial oils are a staple in my skincare regime.
The Habitual Beauty facial oil is packed with super ingredients like Vitamin C and jojoba seed oil which brighten the skin.
It’s also formulated with bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol that minimises redness and improves pigmentation — both of which I happen to be blessed with.
I also love that Habitual Beauty only uses natural-derived ingredients. And let’s be honest, their packaging is *chef’s kiss*.
I’ve been using the Habitual Beauty facial oil for a few weeks now and am pleased to report my skin is looking more hydrated and happy, which makes the slightly exxy investment worth it!
