1. Clinique Superdefense™ SPF 25 Fatigue + 1st Signs Of Age Multi-Correcting Cream
22
Clinique is known for its gentle, yet effective beauty items.
The brand has stood the test of time, and one product we can’t live without is the Superdefense moisturiser, which contains SPF25 (there’s also an SPF 40 variation) to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, as well as vitamin C to brighten skin.
I have worn this moisturiser for years, and I can’t go a day without it.
It’s not claggy on the skin, doesn’t clog pores, is lightweight, but super hydrating, and instantly gives my skin an added glow.
Many friends ask what my secret to glowing skin is, and I swear it is this.

2. Clarins Eau Extraordinaire Treatment Fragrance
22
Clarins is another beauty brand we love, and while there are plenty of skincare and make-up cosmetics to shop, it’s the fragrances for us.
The Eau Des Jardins is an everyday scent I swear by, as it is light, fresh, and full of citrus notes, but is also uplifting.
Another mood-boosting scent is the Eau Extraordinaire Treatment fragrance.
It is made from 95% natural ingredients and created using essential oils, which provide the floral and fruit hybrid scent that has been said to revive you and leave you feeling energised and awake.
We swear by it.
- Clarins Eau Extraordinaire Treatment Fragrance, £26 – buy here
3. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
22
If there was one beauty product I could only wear for the rest of my life, it would be concealer.
In particular Nars’ Radiant Creamy Concealer.
I struggle with dark circles under my eyes, even if I have enjoyed a full eight hours of sleep.
Though I’m told it’s genetics, and my bone structure, it doesn’t stop me from looking tired every day, which is why I rely so heavily on concealer.
This concealer is strongly pigmented to cover dark circles, blemishes and any other areas you choose, with ease.
- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, £25 – buy here
4. NYX Professional Makeup Butter Lip Gloss
22
Influencers went crazy for NYX Lip Gloss a few years back, and the hype has not died down.
We bought into the craze, and have not looked back.
So much so we own five different colours, and two or more of the same shade – just in case.
The Butter Lip Gloss gives the skin a super soft matte finish, without it being too drying on the lips, or sticking into cracked chapped lips.
It’s super long-lasting and comes in a range of colours to suit everyone’s needs.
Plus, it’s super compact so can fit in the smallest bag.
- NYX Professional Makeup Butter Lip Gloss, £5.20 – buy here
5. Rimmel London Natural Bronzer
22
We love a sunkissed glow – all year round.
The Rimmel Bronzer was one of the first make-up cosmetics I ever purchased, and for the last few decades, it has been my go-to I have restocked every time it has run out.
You can dust on your cheekbones, even on your forehead, the contours of your fest, even a light dusting on your decolletage, and shins – if you’ve got your legs out.
It’s super high quality as well as affordable – what more could we want?
- Rimmel London Natural Bronzer, £6.99 – buy here
6. St Moriz Advanced Face Mist
22
We have raved about how much we love to look glowy and bronzed all year round, and this is another skincare secret I swear by.
I have tried a whole host of fake tans, especially fake tans for the face, and this £10 mist is my go-to.
The mist is great for those on the go, or wanting to not fuss around with tanning, as it provides a touch of bronze that is subtle, as well as an added glow to your complexion.
You can apply whenever you wish, and as often as you choose, it’s totally up to your personal preferences.
There are also drops available if you prefer to mix with a moisturiser.
- St Moriz Advanced Face Mist, £9.99 – buy here
7. Estrid Starter Kit
22
Estrid is another brand we have seen all over our Instagram feed, and we understand why.
The Estrid Starter Kit is a great way to get into hair removal if you haven’t done it already, or if you’re a seasoned beautician.
The razor head is fitted with gentle padding to glide smoothly along the body, while the handle is ergonomic and super soft to hold.
8. Isle of Paradise 30-Minute Express Self-Tanning Mousse
22
Fake tan is always worth stocking up on, and is a beauty product we rely on all year round.
Isle of Paradise is one of our go-to fake tan brands, and the newly released 30-Minute Express Self Tanning Mousse is our latest favourite.
It is super lightweight, blendable, easy to use, and quick too.
All you have to do is apply as you would another fake tan, leave for at least 30 minutes, or longer depending on how deep you want your tan to be.
Then, wash off, for a sunkissed glow.
The fun doesn’t stop there as the tan will continue to develop after it has been washed off – but not too intense, so don’t worry.
The best part is this tan is seamless and long-lasting.

9. Byoma Milky Oil Cleanser
22
Whether you have a thorough skincare routine or not, cleansing should be a basic step included in everyone’s daily regime.
Byoma’s Milky Oil Cleanser is lightweight but super nourishing.
It can remove the most stubborn make-up with ease but doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry after cleansing.
Apply a pea-sized amount to your hands, or a muslin cloth and rub into your skin into a lather, before washing off.
- Byoma Milky Oil Cleanser, £12.59 (Was £13.99) – buy here
10. Mylee Magic Gel Remover
22
We love getting our nails done, it’s a little moment of self-care we can treat ourselves to – even if it means doing them ourselves.
So, why not save your bank balance a little more over the long run and invest in Mylee’s Magic Gel Remover?
It is super simple to use, just apply it as you would normally nail polish, leave it to set, and eventually, the gel underneath will start to lift and peel off.
When this happens, simply wipe off the top layer, and the polish, as well as Gel Remover, will come off.
Yes, it really is that easy, and it’s healthier for your nails than picking off your polish, which I am guilty of.
- Mylee Magic Gel Remover, £10 – buy here
11. The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash & Brow Serum
22
We dream of having naturally long eyelashes and bushy eyebrows.
We have tried and tested a whole host of lash-lengthening serums in our time, and one that has been on our radar is from The Ordinary.
The Ordinary’s Multi-Peptide Lash & Brow serum is a two-in-one lash lengthening and conditioning serum to accentuate your assets.
Plus, you don’t have to spend a fortune getting lash extensions any longer, which is a win-win.
- The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash & Brow Serum, £12.40 – buy here
12. Caudalie Beauty Elixir
22
Caudalie’s Beauty Elixir is one of the brand’s hugely popular beauty products many know and love.
The vegan face mist is made from 100% natural ingredients, which work to tighten pores, boost your skin’s radiance, and also works to set make-up.
However, I also love spritzing it on my face throughout the day to cool me down, but to also give me a much-needed wake-up boost when I get the mid-afternoon slump.
- Caudalie Beauty Elixir, £12 (Was £15) – buy here
13. Sally Hansen Maximum Growth
22
My nails have always been brittle and dry, and flake or chip easily.
So I am always on the lookout for nail growth products to combat the chipping and help my nails grow.
I have loved Sally Hansen products for as long as I can remember, in particular the Maximum Growth polish.
It is infused with silk protein, which works to heal and repair fragile nails.
You can wear it on its own or layer other polishes on top.
- Sally Hansen Maximum Growth, £5.99 – buy here
14. Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Endless Lengthening Mascara
22
A lash-lengthening mascara is another failsafe make-up item for many, whether you’re aiming for a natural look or full glam.
One of our favourite mascaras includes the Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Endless Lengthening Mascara.
This mascara features a silicone brush, which is flexible and sweeps through every lash seamlessly applying product to each lash.
The formula contains micro-fibres and a grow-lash complex, which works to extend your lashes by up to 99%, so your lashes look longer in 30 days – even after one sweep if you ask us.
The best part is it does not clump on your lashes and can get into the hard-to-reach areas.
- Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Endless Lengthening Mascara, £9.99 – buy here
15. Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Deep Conditioning Treatment
22
Philip Kingsley’s Elasticizer is one of our cult haircare products.
The Elasticizer is a deep conditioning treatment, which works to boost your hair’s elasticity – revitalise your locks and replenish any moisture lost, for fuller, thicker and healthier tresses.
You can use the treatment once a week, or more often if your hair needs extra TLC.
Apply to damp hair, leave in for as long as you wish, even overnight should you choose, and then wash off.
You truly will notice your hair is silky smooth and less brittle after just one use.
- Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Deep Conditioning Treatment, £20 – buy here
16. Skin Republic Retinol Hydrogel Under Eye Patches
22
We love a night in pampering, and if you’re long overdue a self-care session, invest in Skin Republic’s face masks, in particular the Under Eye Patches.
We particularly love the Under Eye Patches, and foot peels.
The Under-eye Patches are great at soothing tired, puffy under eyes, especially if you leave these in the fridge for a few minutes before applying for an extra cooling sensation.
- Skin Republic Retinol Hydrogel Under Eye Patches, £2.99 – buy here
17. Dr.PAWPAW Original Balm
22
Dr PawPaw’s Original Balm has been around for years, and many know and love the product.
It’s a multipurpose essential for everyone and can be used as lip balm, face cream, hand cream, in fact anywhere on your face and body that needs a little extra moisture.
If you suffer from dry skin, this could be your saving grace.
Let’s not forget to mention it is a product of many celebrities, and make-up artists, which may tempt you to invest if you haven’t already.
- Dr.PAWPAW Original Balm, £3.99 – buy here
18. Piz Buin Allergy Lotion SPF50+
22
Summer is coming, and whether you are going to enjoy the British weather or venturing abroad, sun protection is an essential buy.
One of our personal favourites is Piz Buin, which has been around for decades.
I have sensitive skin, which is why I love the gentle, yet protective, Piz Buin Allergy variation.
- Piz Buin Allergy Lotion SPF50+, £8 – buy here
19. Nudestix Nudies Blush
22
Sofia Richie relied on Nudestix to complete her wedding makeup, and we’ve been a fan of the beauty brand for years.
Among the long list of cult products, our personal favourites are the blendable blusher and bronzer sticks.
The Nudies Blush, which comes in various colours, has pigmented blusher on one end, which you can blend into your cheeks with your fingers, or use the brush on the other end.
It can help you create everyday natural looks, as well as full-on glam.
It’s super buildable if you want more coverage, and can be worn on its own or applied over other cosmetics.
Plus, you can apply the blusher on your cheeks, lips and eyelids too.
20. Weleda Skin Food Cream
22
Weleda is another skincare brand, which is a hit with us, as well as celebrities, including Victoria Beckham.
The iconic Skin Food is a super hydrating moisturiser to give dry skin that much-needed boost of hydration and moisture.
It is a multipurpose product you can apply to your face and body, which is why we love it so much.
- Weleda Skin Food Cream, £11.21 – buy here
21. Boots Mulberry Silk Eye Mask
22
If you’re struggling to sleep, or planning a long-haul flight, then an eye mask is a great buy.
But, not just any sleep masks, silk eye masks, as they are soft and gentle on the skin and delicate eye area, while also working to block out light keeping you awake at night.
