We bet you didn’t even notice the tote-sized bags under our eyes while we’re donning this lippy.

Plus, this lovely natural shade has all the hydrating comfort of a lip balm.

Ultra Violette – Fave Fluid SPF 50+ Ultralight Fragrance Free Skinscreen 75ml. (Valued at $52)
Just because our old mate the sun isn’t visiting us as much or as intensely at the moment, doesn’t mean its rays aren’t doing that UV thing they like to do.

Nice-smelling liquid soap doesn’t get much more versatile than this.

LUSH – Let The Good Times Roll Bath bomb. (Valued at $13)
Look – you’d be forgiven for mistaking this LUSH bath bomb for a scrumptious bun, but pretty please do not eat this goodie, no matter how temptingly delicious it looks. This yummy-seeming roll is a treat for the outside of your body only – specifically for bath time. And a treat, it sure is.
