W&H shopping edit: What to buy in February

1. Herbae par L'Occitane Spartium 

RRP: £60 for 50ml

Reports of winter's death have been greatly exaggerated, but the snowdrops are out and there's now a scrap of light in the sky when Pointless starts so things are moving in the right direction.

And how to beckon spring forth via our shopping? With a new floral fragrance of course. This limited-edition scent is green and fresh, inspired by the wild grasses of Provence, with rhubarb leaf, grapefruit and a sunny sprinkle of jasmine. Manifest those blue skies. 

2. Clarins Hydra-Essentiel [HA²] Night Cream

RRP: £40

Potent skincare acids and the best retinol creams have their place, but it's easy to go too deep into attack mode and forget about the things our skin actually likes (and needs) such as good old hydration and nourishment.

Clarins does this sort of sophisticated, non-aggressive skincare better than anyone. This buttery-textured night cream is packed with skin lovers, not fighters, like two weights of hyaluronic acid, moisturising squalane, plumping leaf of life extract and furcellaria, a soothing red algae. Gently does it. 

3. Facegym Studio Workouts

RRP: From £40 for 15 minutes

Maybe you adore Valentine's Day, maybe you think there's nothing less romantic than panic buying off-season roses because the calendar said so. Either way, we all enjoy being treated to a token of love now and then.

And what better treat than a sculpting, glow-inducing  'workout' from FaceGym's new menu? Signature Skin Reset includes a firming vacuum mask, red light therapy and a peel, while Face Physio is an on-trend deep buccal massage. It's more pummeling than pampering but the results are sure to inspire warm and fuzzy feelings – send a lover, hint to be sent or self-gift because you deserve it.

4. Double-Retinol™ Serum

RRP: £170

Sponsored

Created with dermatologist Dr Andrew Markey and suitable for use on all skin types, this retinol serum is for both people new to using retinol in their skincare routines and those who already swear by its benefits. Formulated to reduce the appearance of fine line and wrinkles by hydrating and enhancing the firmness of your skin, you only need a small amount of this product with each use, meaning the product lasts well.  

5. 19/99 Tintend Matte Balm 

RRP: £20

Designed to be worn by people of ages (from 19 up to 99 - get it?) we love the beauty products from this progressive and inclusive brand. Their moisturizing, tinted-balm comes in a handy chubby pencil format that you can throw in your purse or make up bag. We found it lasted for up to 3 hours before you need to top up or reapply, we love that it is designed to worn however you wish - on the lips, cheeks, eyes; or whever your creativity takes. 

1. Blush Pink Linen Pyjama Set

RRP: £85 £69

We've really embraced the trend for investing in luxurious PJ sets to replace all those old T-shirts we used to wear in bed. There's something special about treating yourself to one of the best pyjama sets and a high quality set always makes for a good gift.  

While not strictly Valentine's Day pyjamas, we love this blush pink linen set from Piglet in Bed. Softly romantic for the month of February but suitable to wear all year round. Plus, they're on sale!

2. Matilda Mesh Embroidery Wired Plunge Bra

RRP: £42

Not just home to the best bras on the high street, M&S also have lovely lingerie collections from other brands too to suit all sizes and styles. As well as the wildly popular Rosie Exclusively for M&S lingerie collection, you can also shop lingerie sets from brands such as Elomi, Fantasie, Freya and Triumph too. This Mesh Embroidery Wired Plunge Bra by Elomi is giving just enough to make it sexy but not so much that wearing it becomes totally impractical. 

3. High-waist midi skirt with belt 

RRP: £35.99

A high-waist midi skirt definitely has a place in any minimalist capsule wardrobe and this versatile style can be worn in many ways. 

Pair with a cream top like the model for an on-trend, colour block look or use the skirt's neutral hue to pair with any colour in your wardrobe. 

4. Pink Julianna Lace Dress & Scallop Jacket Set

This drier style of Prosecco is fresh and fruity on the nose, with delicious citrus, apple, and pear notes. The perfect bottle of fizz for Valentine's Day and a great prosecco deal if you're keeping things to a budget.

2. Le Creuset's brand-new Azure Collection

RRP: from £10

It's difficult to pick just one product to highlight from this brand new launch from Le Creuset which is inspired by the Med.

Using a modern, refreshing colour palette taken from popular interior trends, the new Azure collection brings a touch of the Mediterranean blue to the home and adds a new colourway to the brand's already extensive range. The new colourway is available in an extensive range of Enamelled Cast Iron cookware and oven-to-table Stoneware including the brand's Signature Casseroles, Dishes, Roasters, Skillets and Soup Pots, as well as accessories like Salt and Pepper Mills.

3. dryrobe Advance Long Sleeve

RRP: £160

Believe it or not, the winter months are one of the most popular seasons for wild swimming. You need the right kit to do it safely though. This long-sleeve, fleece-lined robe acts as an oversized coat and changing area in one for when you're out of the sea, lake, or pool and need to get warm. 

Available in lots of different colours, the dryrobe Advance has a waterproof and windproof outer shell fabric made of 100% recycled nylon and a cosy synthetic lambswool lining of recycled polyester so you'll stay warm and dry whatever the weather outside.
