Bangerhead’s curated online shelves are the ultimate one-stop shop for refreshing your routine. This winter, they’ve joined forces with Vogue Scandinavia to handpick 10 must-have products designed to tackle your beauty woes
Bangerhead, the Swedish online retailer known for curating the best in beauty, has been elevating our routines since 2008. Now, they're taking updating our bathroom shelves a step further with their latest concept, 'Beautiful Reasons'. “Beautiful Reasons is our philosophy: every product in our range should bring something special, something worth coming back to,” says Malin Falk, Bangerhead’s head of brand and communications and certified beauty aficionado. “We are passionate about creating an inspiring space where our customers can find their own 'beautiful reasons' and feel truly seen.”
To celebrate the new concept, Bangerhead joined forces with Vogue Scandinavia, hosting a dinner and panel talk in Stockholm's storied Konstnärshuset with a slew of notable industry names in attendance. For the occasion, the two hosts handpicked 10 products to revive our winter beauty routines and help us transition into the chilly season ahead – spanning resurfacing creams, sultry "swipe-and-go" eyeshadows, and so much more.
Below, discover our beauty editor's 'Beautiful Reasons' for loving these 10 products:
There are countless reasons to love the matte version of Ombre Blackstar, but what truly sets it apart for us is its effortless application. This creamy, ‘swipe-and-go’ gem glides smoothly over the eyelid without settling into fine lines. Plus, with its waterproof formula, it stays put all day, no smudging in sight.
How many times have we rushed out the door, still half-asleep, only to leave our lip gloss behind on the bathroom shelf? Luckily, Hourglass has earned a permanent spot in our handbags. With its hydrating, three-in-one formula that delivers a high-gloss finish in a convenient twist-up design, it’s the ultimate touch-up essential to keep on hand.
Winter frizz is no joke. Cold weather drains moisture from tired hair, and knitted hats and scarves sabotage any hopes of a sleek style. Fortunately, Oribe’s Gold Lust Oil comes to the rescue. This glossy formula hydrates, smooths, and tames unruly strands, all while enveloping your hair in an addictive fragrance.
Quick fixes with instant results are always a win, but building a solid base in your beauty routine is just as important. That’s why Sisley’s hair mask has become a go-to in our everything-showers – it doesn’t just soften dry hair on the surface but works deeply to restore and strengthen tired strands from within.
In search of a next-gen Cinderella product that promises a fairytale glow? Augustinus Bader’s four-week program, The Skin Infusion, is the ultimate skin barrier reset, featuring powerhouse ingredients like Zinc PCA and Pro-Vitamin B5. Paired with their advanced TFC8® technology for optimal cell renewal, it’s essentially a skin transformation in a bottle.
After the retinol boom on TikTok, we’ve come to realise that this powerhouse ingredient isn’t always the easiest to incorporate into a skincare routine – especially for those with sensitive skin. But its smoothing properties are unmatched when it comes to tackling fine lines and uneven texture. Allies of Skin’s nutrient-rich night cream, available in two strengths, offers great options for anyone looking to introduce retinol's gentle yet potent sibling, retinal, into their regimen.
We all know the skin is the body’s largest organ, but come winter, most of us focus on facial care and forget to give the rest of our body a little extra love. That’s why we’re already reaching for Bodyologist’s Night Gloves — a vitamin A-infused body cream that refines skin texture and boosts collagen production. The goal? By the time summer rolls around, we’ll be ready to show off smooth, even legs without a bump or blemish in sight.
As we've already established, bodycare often takes a backseat. But, just as we layer products to deeply hydrate our face, we should take the same approach to our post-shower body routines. Susanne Kaufmann’s hydrating body oil is ideal for locking in nourishment before applying body cream — mirroring how we use facial oil before moisturiser.
Perfume is one of the most personal items on any bathroom shelf, and at Vogue Scandinavia, we champion a fragrance wardrobe for every occasion. As winter sets in, we’re drawn to smoky, deep notes, and Story of Your Life by Etat Libre d'Orange fits the bill perfectly. With subtly sweet top notes and a sensual, lingering base, it conjures the warmth of a whiskey-based drink savoured during a dimly-lit cocktail hour.
As winter approaches, we’re all about boosting hair volume, and the easiest way to achieve va-va-voom curls is with a blow-dry brush. Our pick is GHD’s Duet Blow-Dry, which takes hair from damp and frizzy to bouncy and full – without the risk of heat damage.
