Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse, £18.50
Rated By: Emily Jane Lathan, @EmilyJaneLathan
Why She Loves It: “When it comes to beauty products, I’m a bit of a repeat purchase person. The one thing I always go back to is this silky oil. I use it on my skin and hair every morning to hydrate and nourish any dryness. You only need a small amount, and the scent is heavenly. Use it on the body, too, for non-sticky hydration that lasts.”

The Inkey List PCA Bond Repair Hair Treatment, £12.99
Rated By: Rachel Joy, @JoyInMySkin
Why She Loves It: “This is so easy to use and mess-free, which is its biggest selling point. I have heavily bleached hair and this has kept my strands strong with zero split ends. It also protects my hair from heat and excessive styling. The results are quite immediate, too. On a personal level, I’d say this is better than Olaplex, not to mention more affordable.”

Smashbox Superfan Mascara, £19
Rated By: Naomi, @TheLondonFoxx
Why She Loves It: “This is the type of mascara that always earns you compliments. It’s non-clumpy and the separated brush allows you to define each individual lash for extra length and definition. The jet-black formula is rich, too, providing long-lasting pigment that doesn’t flake or smudge.”

Heliocare Colour Sun Touch Hydragel SPF50, £16.38
Rated By: Eilidh, @Addicited_To_Face
Why She Loves It: “This may not look much, but it gives skin the most incredible glow – similar to Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Filter. The best bit? It’s really an SPF but with smoothing, tinted benefits. It encompasses so many steps in one, and makes your complexion look flawless.”

Weleda Skin Food, £8.25
Rated By: Elle McNamara, @BambiDoesBeauty
Why She Loves It: “Beauty lovers and make-up artists swear by this does-it-all cream. A true multi-purpose product, it provides the glossiest finish to the skin, while nourishing dry, cracked hands, too. I love the glossy-skin look it gives, but for everyday wear, there’s also a ‘light’ version, which is about half the thickness in consistency and great to use as an everyday moisturiser for dry, winter skin.”

Beauty Bay The Jade Gua Sha, £10
Rated By: Chloe Robertson, @ChloeJade_Story
Why She Loves It: “I am obsessed with this. Not only is it affordable, it’s easy to use and relieves any tension that might build up in and among the facial muscles. I sweep it over my skin every morning while I have my coffee – it’s the ultimate tool for lazy girls wanting to tone and sculpt their skin.”

Danessa Myricks: Vision Flush in Ballet Slipper, £18
Rated By: Elisa Lune, @Elisa_Lune
Why She Loves It: “This is the most beautiful rust shade, so I like to use it on my lips, eyes and cheeks. It suits every skin tone and has incredible lasting power, which says a lot for a liquid formula. I love it so much my business partner and I now stock it now over on @Algorithum – it’s a new retail destination which only sells products we love and have tried ourselves.”

The Inkey List Succinic Acid Blemish Treatment, £6.99
Rated By: Elise Gill, @Lumi_Lise
Why She Loves It: “I often suffer from breakouts, especially recently as I’ve been a little stressed out and hormonal. They usually start as painful papule (under the skin) spots, and be quite red and sore before clearing up in about two weeks or so. This treatment works quickly and effectively to take down inflammation. It’s formulated with 2% Succinic Acid which reduces sebum production, while also unblocking clogged pores. The hyaluronic acid hydrates, too, to prevent any dryness. A must-try for those with suffer with painful breakouts.”

Higher Nature Colloidal Silver Spray, £13.99
Rated By: Lo Moorcroft, @LoMoorcroft
Why She Loves It: “This is always in my kit. It has so many skin-saving benefits for times like these, where we’re stressed and prone to breakouts. It’s naturally anti-microbial, too, so great for ‘maskne’ flare-ups, and other skin irritations. It’s a brilliant anti-inflammatory quick-fix – I mist it on my skin regularly and always when I’m wearing a mask.”

MIJ Face Mask, £15.99 OOS
Rated By: Sofia, @Honest.Skin
Why She Loves It: “These masks are total game-changers which use bio-cellulose technology – a carbon positive fibre that’s rich in coconut water and biodegradable. They are small but mighty, delivering intense moisture, while boosting cell turnover, too, for a brighter-looking complexion. Unlike other masks, they feel like they adhere properly to your skin, allowing for full product absorption.”
