5 Beauty Products Adeola’s Loving This Month
Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara, £10.99 (was £12.99) | L'Oréal Paris
I wasn't blessed in the lashes department, which is why I'm constantly on the hunt for the perfect mascara. I'll let you in on a pro tip: the key to achieving your desired look lies in the wand. Mascara wands come in various shapes (curved, straight, hourglass or coned) that each serve a different purpose. They also come with different types of bristles. If you prefer defined and lifted lashes, opt for plastic bristles, while traditional bristles are excellent for adding volume.
The new L’Oréal Paris Panorama mascara comes with a wand that uses multi-level bristles to catch all those lashes from the inner to the outer edge of the eye, creating an eye-opening, fanned-out effect with clump-free volume. I noticed a significant difference in how lifted and defined my lashes looked, and the deep black colour adds to the overall definition.

Brow Freeze® Gel, £24 | Anastasia Beverly Hills
Who better to teach the art of the perfect brow than the queen herself? Recently, I attended one of Anastasia Soare’s masterclasses, where she shared invaluable tips on how to achieve flawless brows. She also introduced her latest launch: an innovative clear brow wax-gel known as the Brow Freeze Gel.
I've really enjoyed using this product as the final step in my brow routine. It effectively locks brows in place, and makes it look like you’ve had a professional brow lamination. The multi-bristle comb applicator allows for precise sculpting and shaping of the hairs, while the quick-drying formula sets the brows without leaving them feeling stiff or crunchy – a stark contrast to some other brow gel products I've tried.

Dream Lip Oil, £26 | Summer Fridays
I'm a big fan of the Summer Fridays lip products, particularly the lip balms – I keep several in my bag, make-up kit and even in my car. So, when it introduced these new dream lip oils, I knew I'd love them. Available in four flattering shades, these lip oils enhance your natural lip colour for the perfect pout. They feel like a nourishing lip gloss, imparting a smooth, healthy-looking colour with a glossy sheen.
What sets these lip oils apart is the blend of moisturising oils, which provide deep hydration to prevent dryness and flakiness. The luxurious formula is a dream to use and glides effortlessly over the lips, leaving behind a sheer wash of colour without any stickiness. I love wearing them alone for a subtle tint or layering them over lipsticks for a pop of colour.

Bottom Up Foot Cream, £35 | Koba
Does anyone else experience that brand-new feeling after a pedicure? Personally, I love pedicures, but finding the time can be tricky. Therefore, I've developed a little at-home, self-care routine to maintain the look and feel of my feet in between salon visits.
This routine includes applying a nourishing foot cream every evening before bed, and the Koba Bottoms Up Foot Cream has become my go-to solution for cracked heels and dry skin. The comforting texture works wonders to smooth and revitalise tired feet – not only does it feel amazing, but the addictive scent adds to the experience. With consistent use, I've noticed a remarkable difference —my feet feel deeply hydrated and incredibly soft.

We're Even Hydrating Longwear Concealer, £25 | Fenty Beauty
For many, dark under-eyes are a serious beauty bugbear. Most of us are on the lookout for products that not only provide a fresher, brighter look but also avoid exacerbating texture in this delicate area. Enter the We're Even Hydrating Longwear Concealer by Fenty Beauty.
This innovative formula is a fantastic fusion of make-up and skincare. It effortlessly melts into the skin, effectively evening out and brightening the under-eye area without leaving it looking cakey or textured. It’s also long-lasting, waterproof and transfer-proof. Personally, I've thoroughly enjoyed using this product and I love how natural the finish is, despite the buildable formula.
