Beauty Editor’s Picks: The Nightstand Edition

My nightstand is less an aesthetic corner and more a finely tuned survival station. It holds the kind of beauty and wellness I need at 11:03 PM when my brain won’t shut up, my skin needs saving, and I remember (again) that joy can be deeply quiet.

Here’s everything currently earning its place.

L’Occitane Beurre de Karité Shea Butter

A classic that’s stayed by my side longer than most situationships. Rich, scent-free, and fixes everything from cracked heels to cuticles to emergency flyaways.

Available Here.

Dior Le Baume

The little white pod of dreams. I swipe this onto lips, elbows, even knuckles—it’s chic, functional, and gives “rich girl who hydrates.”

Available Here.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Iced Coffee

Glossy, cushiony, and smells like you’re about to flirt with a barista. I reapply obsessively and pretend it’s for hydration.

Available Here.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Crème

Gel texture, serious results. It de-puffs, hydrates, and makes me feel like I’m putting something meaningful under my eyes—besides dark circles.

Available Here.

MyMuse Pop Wand Massager

Small and criminally powerful. My nightstand non-negotiable. Because beauty sleep hits differently when you’re relaxed and satisfied.

Available Here.

This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray

A few spritzes of lavender and vetiver, and I’m halfway to a lucid dream. Smells like permission to rest.

Available Here.

Vitruvi Cloud Humidifier

A quiet overachiever. Keeps the air dewy and my skin hydrated so I don’t wake up parched like a forgotten croissant.

Available Here.

Jo Malone Lavender & Moonflower Candle

This isn’t just a candle. It’s mood therapy. The scent is soft, not cloying—more “ethereal goddess” than “spa receptionist.”

Available Here.

Aveda Stress-Fix Concentrate Roll-On

I swipe this on my wrists and inhale deeply before bed, after emails, before existential dread. Works every time.

Available Here.

Tea Trunk Chamomile Sleep Tea

Caffeine-free, chamomile-based, and tastes like a gentle goodbye to the day. Pairs well with silence and flannel pyjamas.

Available Here.

Daily Supplement Organiser

Yes, it’s giving vitamin auntie. And yes, I have magnesium, iron, and biotin on rotation. Health is wealth (and good sleep).

Available Here.

Tortoiseshell Claw Clip + Lavender Satin Scrunchie

One for the bun, one for the mood. The clip holds my post-serum bun like a champ, and the scrunchie is for when I want to feel soft and desirable… to myself.

Available Here.

Prescription Glasses + Kindle

The wind-down combo. I keep telling myself I’ll read literature but end up back in my comfort trash—and honestly, no regrets.

Available Here.

Everything on this nightstand serves a purpose. Most of them comfort me. A few seduce me. And all of them remind me that taking care of myself isn’t a performance—it’s a practice.
