The Influencer Edit – Sophie's Suitcase

Here at Gorgeous Shop, we're big fans of the blogging community. That's why we've asked some of our favourite Insta-faces to curate an edit of their top picks from Gorgeous Shop.

So without further ado, say hello to Team Gorgeous’ fave travel blogger, Sophie, from Sophie’s Suitcase. Sophie’s award-winning luxury travel and lifestyle blog launched five years ago. Since then Sophie’s Suitcase has won Best Travel Blog at the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards AND been shortlisted for the Cosmopolitan Influencer Awards.

With an Instagram grid full of lust-worthy travel inspo, we decided to ask Sophie to curate a beauty edit for us. Sophie said, ‘because I travel so much, it’s vital for me to be able to buy everything I need for an upcoming trip and get it fast. I travel sometimes up to twice a month, flying off to various places around the world, and by using Gorgeous Shop, this dream became reality.’ So here’s what Sophie went for.

Nioxin 3-Part System Kit 3 for Colored Hair with Light Thinning

‘I have been using Nioxin for as long as I remember. First going in to salon when I was at university and then buying their system kits when I realised I couldn’t uphold the price of the treatment in the salon each month. Then I stumbled across Nioxin on Gorgeous Shop, for a fraction of the cost.

Based on an advanced skincare approach, the specially formulated products work as a hair thickening treatment, volumizing and strengthening hair with light thinning.’

L’ANZA KB2 Daily Clarifying Shampoo

‘I am constantly on the go. This often means I do not look after my hair enough. I am either on the tube in London, on a flight to Sweden or being active in the Lakes. And despite having lots of fun, my hair often suffers! I always have a bottle of L’Anza KB2 Daily Clarifying Shampoo to hand for the days when I need to feed my hair with goodness.

L’Anza KB2 Daily Clarifying Shampoo deeply cleanses your hair of all product build up and daily grime without stripping hair of its natural defences. L’Anza KB2 Complex contains Keratin Protein which heals and strengthens hair. The unique blend of organic botanicals and antioxidant vitamins leaves hair soft, shiny and radiant.’

Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Scrub

‘Like with my hair, I also need to spend more time looking after my skin, especially my body. I have never been one for scrubbing and moisturising (much to the dislike of my best friend who swears by it!). Only as I reached 26 years old did I start getting dry skin on my legs. To combat this I grabbed a pot of Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Scrub.

The formula contains a variety of natural ingredients including grape-seeds, grape-seed oil, Gironde honey and essentials oils of lemon. The coarse granules included in this formula exfoliate, leaving the skin nourished and smooth.’

Natural Sea Sponge Linen Spa Mitt

‘To go alongside my Caudalie Scrub, I also popped a Natural Sea Sponge Spa Mitt in my basket. This product is perfect for at-home spa treatments, using high quality French linen for deep cleansing. The Natural Sea Sponge Professional Linen Spa Mitt is ideal for buffing away impurities and dead skin cells to provide soft, healthy skin. I have loved this mitt and it’s one of the best I have tried.’

Burt’s Bees Anti Blemish Pore Refining Scrub

‘I couldn’t leave my facial skincare out. So, I grabbed myself a product from one of my favourite brands Burt’s Bees. The Burt’s Bees Anti Blemish Pore Refining Scrub is a stimulating face scrub that deeply cleanses the skin and removes dirt, impurities and excess oil.

As I am on-the-go a lot, I get acne as an adult a lot, and this product helps me clear my skin. The scrub penetrates the skin removing dead skin cells and encouraging skin cell renewal for a fresh, clear and radiant complexion! Enriched with Salicylic Acid that is naturally derived from Willow Bark, the scrub treats blemishes and prevents future breakouts.’

bareMinerals Lash Domination

‘I’ve never been adventurous with my mascara and tended to always go for the same every time, but when I spoke to a friend recently after I’d admired her eyelashes all evening, she recommend trying out the bareMinerals Lash Domination mascara. Bloody hell it’s good!! Volume you can see, and power you can feel. The product is a 10-in-1, volumising, lengthening, thickening, separating and long-wearing mascara, complete with ProTwist180 Wand designed to curve around each lash to coat all angles with a deep, luxurious black colour. ‘

Tisserand Little Box of Sleep

‘Tisserand is another of my favourite brands, and a brand that has helped me through some of my worst mental health crises. I use Tisserand on a day-to-day basis for energy, focus and sleep, and this little package from them is the perfect product for dealing with those sleepless night. The collection of pulse point roller balls are the simple steps you need to help you get a good night’s sleep, including:

Pause Roller Ball 10ml – A blend of Orange, Petitgrain and Coriander
Sweet Dreams Roller Ball 10ml – A blend of Lavender, Sandalwood and Jasmine
Comfort Roller Ball 10ml – A blend of Orange, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang.

The last is my absolute essential for any trip!’

Caudalie Rose de Vigne Fragrance

‘I mentioned Caudalie above, and I’ll mention it again here as it’s a favourite of mine, offering affordable luxury products from head to toe. The Caudalie Rose de Vigne is another great product, a perfume with a sparkling and fresh fragrance, infused with sharp, beautiful notes of rhubarb and the delicate aroma of the Bordeaux vineyard roses. I pack this with me everytime I head out the door and it provides me with a fresh smell all day long. ‘
