Undisputed ‘Queen of Cool’, everything Alexa touches turns to ice (ice baby) – from those studded Valentino flats, to her signature cut-off dungarees – there’s nothing this girl can’t make covetable. We were therefore delighted (but not in the least bit surprised) to discover some Cult Beauty stalwarts amidst her must-have stash… so read on to discover which products she pilfers (her words, not ours), and which ‘does everything’ balm she is learning to love.
‘I do like travelling, because I like to steal the tiny bottles of whatever’s up at the hotels [naughty]. {Aesop} is the best score, but I love the way the products smell at Hôtel Costes in Paris’. We love it too Alexa, and for all those who aren’t kleptomaniacs/have a conscience/don’t have a gazillion euro to throw at Paris’ most decadent accommodation, you can shop Costes’ heavenly-scented range right {here} >>
‘I love taking baths. Aesop {Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser} is my favourite – isn’t it absurd that something like a fancy body wash can make you think you’re an adult?’ – absurd, but very true (I like to put the bottles out ‘for best’ so people think I’m ‘proper’).
Dry-skinned Alexa – ‘My skin is drier than the Sahara desert – it’s like sandpaper and the outside of a cactus had sex and made my skin’ (#TMI) – has ‘just started trying out the Yu-Be {Moisturizing Skin Balm} and it’s working really well. It stinks – it smells like Tiger Balm – but it does keep you hydrated for the whole day’ – which is no mean feat, when you’re suffering from desert/cactus flesh.
…and we also spotted (eagle eyed beauty snoopers that we are) a bottle of Caudalie’s {Beauty Elixir} – which we’re guessing the Chungster relies on to keep her (beautiful) face feeling comfortably soft and hydrated when nobody’s on standby with ‘a vat of oil that [she] can dunk her head into’.
