‘I’m already a sucker for spot patches, but often found that my usual ones didn’t quite work on the under-the-skin spots that often appeared on my face. That was until I discovered Killa from Zitsticka. When I first used these I was a little sceptical and almost a little scared as these spot patches feature tiny, spiky, microdarts, but as soon as I applied one and learnt they were completely pain free I was on board. Now every time I get an under-the-skin spot, I just pop one of these bad boys on and by morning they are flatter, drained of allllll the gross spot juice and no longer painful. Would for sure buy again!’

‘If you’re on the glass skin/clean girl/anything Hailey Bieber look, you need this hybrid! The formula literally makes your skin look wet and dewy without being sticky or disturbing the makeup under neither. You can use as a primer for a full-on glass skin look, as a highlighter to catch the natural light, or as a topper over eyeshadow to create a wet look. Honestly, I am obsessed with how easy and versatile this product is. I’ve no idea why this hasn’t gone viral on TikTok yet. Haul and make it happen for the sake of your fellow beauty obsessives.’

Olivia, Content Executive

‘It’s safe to say the Glow Hub Under Cover Concealer is a new staple in my routine! I’m a lazy gal at heart so I’m obsessed with the fact that this concealer is a skincare/makeup hybrid = less work! It covered my hormonal blemishes really well aswell as brightening my under eye, it didn’t crease as much as other full coverage formulas either. What’s not to love?!’

Rochelle, Senior Social Media Executive

‘If you enjoy being complimented on your eye makeup, then this palette is the one for you. Whenever I create a look from the New Mood Palette, no matter which colour story I use, I get so many compliments throughout the day because every colour is so damn gorg! The mattes are lovely and buttery, making them easy to blend, and the shimmers are simply STUNNING (check out Inspired and Creative). A must-have palette for anyone who loves a pop of colour!’

Scarlett, Social and Community Executive

‘I’ve been loving this Laneige serum! It has a super lightweight texture, and it makes my skin feels smoother and hydrated straight after applying. I have sensitive skin so I’m always cautious when trying new products, but this didn’t break me out or irritate my skin at all. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a hydrating serum, and it comes in a cute bottle too which is always a plus.’

Mhairi, Brand Marketing Executive

“The Watermelon Milk from Hair Syrup has completely changed my hair! I have a lot of hair and it can be hard to manage and detangle, using the Watermelon Milk prewash is so easy and has made my hair smoother, softer and shinier. I had never used a prewash before, and it is so simple and quick to use – a product I will definitely continue to use as it also promotes hair growth and thickness!”

Hannah, Influencer and PR Assistant

‘There aren’t enough words to describe my love for this lipstick. The formula is SO long lasting without being drying. The colour is beautiful and makes your teeth look super white and compliments my blue eyes perfectly! It’s transfer proof too which is a must.’

Helena, Social Media Assistant 

‘I don’t wear a huge amount of make-up, but a hardworking concealer is always a must. Nabla’s Close Up Concealer does just that. It gives great coverage, feels lightweight on my skin, and has a delicious coconut scent. Plus, a little goes a long way! It covers dark circles and blemishes really well, but still leaves me with a natural feel. Definitely a new staple product for me.’

Alex, Creative Production Manager

‘I’m an absolute sucker when it comes to shimmer palettes and this palette is by farrrr the best one I’ve used yet. The pigments are next level, you can create a dark smoky eye easily and then pop the shimmers on top and the pigment is sensational, it’s like I’ve used a base minus all the hard work lol. I’m a massive fan of the colourways in this palette the combos feel endless, I can’t wait to create more!’

Aimee, Junior Creative Designer

‘I’ve been obsessed with Peter Thomas Roth Temporary Eye Tightener for a while now but wanted a longer lasting result. So, I had high hopes for this Collagen Eye Cream and pleased to say it did not disappoint!! It feels really smoothing when it goes on and makes my eyes appear brighter. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and can notice the lines around my eyes have reduced. It’s a bit pricey but well worth the investment!’

Alex, Supply Planning Manager

‘The Lelo Sila works an absolute treat!! It is powerful for the size but also still quiet! A good mix of settings to give you the best experience. I was expecting big things for the price tag, but it exceeded expectations!’

Karen, Buyer
