BY BEAUTY BAY 5% SQUALANE, HYALURONIC ACID + POLYGLUTAMIC ACID OVERNIGHT BALM
‘If you’re prone to dry or dehydrated skin (and most of us are!) then your focus needs to be not just on applying moisturising ingredients but making sure that those ingredients are absorbed and don’t escape. So, think of your toner, serum, and moisturiser as layers of clothing – you need to put a coat on to seal in the warmth, right? The By BEAUTY BAY Hydrating Overnight Moisture Balm is your winter coat – it utilises powerful occlusive ingredients like squalane, tocopherol (vitamin E) and polyglutamic acid to draw moisture in and keep it there. I love it because it’s a less messy, less greasy alternative to a facial oil and it feels incredibly nourishing.’

BY BEAUTY BAY CHAMOMILE + OAT LIPID CLEANSING BALM
‘When it comes to taking off my makeup, I hate to admit that I have always been that little bit lazy. So, when By BEAUTY BAY brought out the Butter Cup Cleansing Balm, I had to give it a go as it sounded exactly like what I needed! It didn’t disappoint. I am now on my second pot now, using it every day as a part of my skincare routine. I even use the balm when I am not wearing makeup, as it makes my skin feel incredibly soft and clean. When using the balm to remove makeup, it takes minutes to wipe off everything (including a red lip!) I would 100% recommend the balm to anyone who wants a quick, yet super effective way of removing their makeup, making their skin feel on FLEEK in the process!’

PHILIP KINGSLEY ELASTICIZER DEEP-CONDITIONING TREATMENT
‘I have balayage-d hair which can sometimes be a little dry and frizzy, but since introducing the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer my hair woes are basically non-existent. It’s more than a regular hair mask in that I notice longer-lasting results, my hair looks and feels healthier and isn’t as prone to knottiness which ultimately means less breakage as I’m not having to fight to get a brush through it each morning. Have already bought a pot for my mum too!’
Chloe, Marketing Manager
ISLE OF PARADISE SELF TANNING DROPS
‘No matter the occasion, weather or day of the week, I like to have a little colour to my face. From bad past experiences (sorry pores) I know that putting regular fake tan onto your face only causes breakouts and patchiness, so when I learnt about the Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops I was very intrigued to try them. It’s safe to say they are definitely a new holy grail!!! A little goes a long way (pls listen to this advice), literally only 2-3 drops, mixed with moisturiser gives your skin the nicest glow, and doesn’t cling to dry patches or go blotchy around the hairline. I now use them once a week to top up my glow. Goodbye Casper the ghost, hellooo sunkissed hun.’
Ashleigh, Content Marketing Assistant
BY BEAUTY BAY BRUSH UP BROWS BROW SOAP
‘Brush Up Brows changed my life. Not to be dramatic, but my brow game was POOR before this product. The formula is a soft soap texture that holds the brow well without feeling sticky. It gives me fluffy, laminated brows that last all day. I recommend using with the By BEAUTY BAY Spoolies as they have a bend to them that easily fits into the circular packaging.’
Milly, Senior Brand Manager – Private Label
MAYBELLINE LASH SENSATIONAL MASCARA
‘I initially bought into this mascara after seeing it everywhere on TikTok, but after repurchasing it a good four times I can honestly say I’m obsessed. It’s easily buildable, doesn’t smudge and gives my lashes some insane length!’
Dani, New Product Development Manager
SUNDAY RAIN SLEEP EASY PILLOW AND ROOM MIST
‘I’m a sucker for anything that says it’s going to make me sleep better. It’s not that I have a hard time sleeping, it’s just that I’m a sleepy girl and love all the accessories. Sunday Rain’s Sleep Easy Pillow and Room Mist is my latest find and I’m over the moon with it. I’ve spent a lot of money on pillow sprays in the past but this bottle of dreams costs just £6 and it can easy rival the more expensive mists. Easy! The spray uses the classic lavender scent paired with the chic scent of cedarwood to calm and relax the body and mind. Top tip from a sleep obsessive: if you sleep with your duvet pulled up to your face, spritz some over your sheets for double the sleepy scent.’
