By BEAUTY BAY Neutral 42 Colour Palette
“I regularly use cool-tone eyeshadows, and when I saw the Neutral 42 Colour Palette, I just knew I would love it. The varied shades make it the kind of palette I’d go for, to create day to night looks, it’s just so transitional! From the mattes to the shimmers, they are all so pigmented and simple to blend together, it’s hard to decide which ones to use. It’s got all the nude and neutral tones you could ask for alongside some stand out shimmers that allow you to easily elevate any look. Definitely a palette everyone needs, especially for winter!”

THE ORDINARY BUFFET + COPPER PEPTIDES 1%
“I have loved the way my skin looks after adding ‘The Ordinary ”Buffet” + Copper Peptides‘ into my skincare routine. I have very sensitive and acne-prone skin and my main goal in skin care is to keep my skin barrier healthy and avoid irritation. This serum from The Ordinary has anti-inflammatory properties and improves overall skin health. I’ve been using the serum at night and have noticed my skin has a healthy glow and looks very plump and hydrated all day. I will definitely be using this product throughout Winter to keep that dewy skin look in the cold weather! 100% recommend this product for all skin types!”
Hannah, Influencer and PR Assistant
Laneige Cream Skin Mist
“Laneige are known for their iconic Lip Masks, but their skincare also deserves the hype. I love layering the Cream Skin mist into my AM and PM routine for extra hydration and it leaves my skin feeling plump & soft. My top-tip is to put it in the fridge and apply it cool the morning after a few wines!”
Chloe, Brand Marketing Manager
By BEAUTY BAY Laminated Brows Set
“I absolutely love this brow soap for my everyday, no-makeup makeup! I find it perfect alongside the BB micro sketch brow pencil for setting my thinner, bleached brows in place, and then I just fill them in where needed. It doesn’t feel tacky or heavy on the brows and glides on super easy with a spoolie. Such a great staple product and very reasonably priced!”
Amirah, Senior Paid Social Executive
OFRA Glow Into Winter Pro Palette
“I’ve tried so hard to find the perfect winter palette. OFRA Glow Into Winter Pro Palette has come through and (finally!) I have everything I need all in one. The highlighters keep you shining bright in the colder weather whilst the selection of darker eye shades make sure your look pops for party szn, but I still feel super natural and polished. Every pan in the collection is so buttery soft and blendable, I can’t wait to experiment with more looks.”
Amy, Private Label Campaign Manager
Asani Body Butter in Unicorn Candy
“My post bath routine has been transformed thanks to Asani Body Butter! First of all, the sweet unicorn candy scent is unreal. A little goes a long way but even when only using a tiny amount the amazing smell lasts throughout the day, I’ve had quite a few complements since I’ve started using this body butter. Aside from the gorge smell and looking cute, the mouse-like formula melts into my skin, leaving my normally very dry skin feeling silky soft and glowing. You can really feel the moisturising benefits of the shea butter and oils.”
Jasmine, Digital Merchandiser
Megababe Rose Pits Daily Deodorant
“Deodorant isn’t something I’d normally get excited by, but let me tell you, Megababe deodorant is well worth being excited about. The packaging is pretty, yes, but this deodorant also works incredibly well and smells great. Despite being a solid formula, it glides on smooth and clear, without leaving any residue or stickiness, and it contains nourishing squalane (one of my favourite skincare ingredients) to prevent dryness and irritation. I first discovered it on a trip to the US several years ago and regretted not stocking up on more, so I’m so glad I can finally (easily!) get hold of it.”
Grace, Content Marketing Manager
COCO & EVE SUNNY HONEY BALI BRONZING FOAM
“It’s not often that I branch out when it comes to fake tan, as when I find one I love, I usually stick to it. But after seeing the Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam all over TikTok, I knew I had to break my own rule- and I am sooooo glad I did. This tan is so easy to apply, dries super quick and SMELLS UNREAL. If you’re looking for a streak-free, golden glow, then this needs to be on your radar.”
Ashleigh, Content Executive
The Beauty Crop Juice Pot Set
“I have been dying to try The Beauty Crop products ever since they flooded my for you page on TikTok with some of my favourite influencers raving about the brand. I decided to try the Juice Pot Set that contains three incredible lip and cheek tints. The shades vary from a siren red cherry colour to a peachy melon. The pots cover every occasion, and the colour lasts all day. They give me a gorgeous dewy blush which I love, and the formula is so smooth and easily blended. I now know what the hype is about, and I can’t wait to try more of their products. Not to mention they are vegan and cruelty free which is even more reason to buy more!”
Amber, Digital Merchandising Executive
Spectrum Collections Hello Kitty Ice Cream 9 Piece Brush Set
“Not only is this Spectrum Collections Hello Kitty Ice Cream 9 Piece Brush Set suuuper cute, they’re also super soft and blend your makeup so well. They also make the perfect Christmas gift for anyone you know who loves Sanrio characters! I’ll definitely be trying out more from this Hello Kitty collection.”
Scarlett, Social & Community Executive
Olaplex No7 Bonding Oil
“LOVE THIS!! I have wanted to try this oil for ages but with being blonde and having shortish hair I was really nervous that the oil would make my hair look greasy. I was so wrong, its amazing! It’s a great multi use product that you can use before and after styling. It gives my hair a lovely shine, makes it less frizzy. The little bottle lasts so long too!”
Karen, Buyer
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS GLAM TO GO MINI PALETTE
“I loved trying this Anastasia Beverly Hills palette – the colours are so pigmented and easy to blend! They’re the perfect shades for an easy soft glam look and I love that it’s mini so I can travel with it too.”
Emily, Paid Social Assistant
Beauty Works Professional Styler
“I’ve been wanting to try the ICONIC Beauty Works Professional Styler since the beginning of time tbh. Firstly, the packaging is GORGE which is always a bonus, I especially love how long the barrel is as I usually struggle to fit my hair on a standard barrel but there’s plenty of room – perfect if you have extensions. The wand heats up really quickly (but don’t fret, you get a heat proof mat included!) and you can set your desired temperature, I curled my whole head in under 10 minutes! The result was gorgeous big, bouncy curls! 10/10 my new favourite hair tool – catch me in bouncy curls all throughout the festive season.”
Rochelle, Senior Social Media Executive
Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Glow Serum in Juice Boost
“This is the first time I’ve used this serum and I love it! I use it as a base for under my foundation and I love the subtle glow it gives to my skin. I naturally have oily skin, so I keep away from serums/glow products but I’m so glad I’ve tried this serum as it doesn’t make my skin oily but leaves a slight glowy finish. I’ll definitely keep on using this!”
