1. Bobbi Brown High Shine Liquid Eyeshadows, £18.50
These water-based shadows glide along the lash line and all over the lids for a pretty wash of colour that’s never overdone or too theatrical. While the subtly shimmering colour sets quickly and doesn’t budge.

3. Fenty Fly Baby Mini Eye Primer & Liner, £19
We can’t get enough of this travel-friendly set from Fenty. While it’s an investment for miniatures, both go the distance in terms of longevity and are brilliant for on-the-go. It also makes for a nice little gift for Fenty fans.

6. FRESH Sugar Roll On Deodorant, £17.50
We put this through its paces on some particular sticky days, and very impressed that it lasted so long with a very subtle, but sweet scent. Another bonus? You only need a tiny amount, so you really do get your bang for your buck with this, not to mention it’s harm-free natural formula.

8. Glossier Brow Flick, £15
It’s been four years since Glossier launched their cult Boy Brow and now they’re taking it up a notch with their brand-new Brow Flick. With a superfine, flexible brush, it deposits hair like strokes that actually look natural and blend in with your actual hairs seamlessly. The key is to take it lightly and brush on in deft movements as lightly as possible because once this sets, it really is staying put.

11. Kure Bazaar Nail Polishes, £15
For those who prefer something more neutral to bright summer hues, look to Kure Bazaar’s newest launches. We’re loving the shade ‘French Rose Glow’ for the clean, but soft pink finish it leaves behind. While the price tag may seem hefty, it’s worth noting these polishes stay put for days (seriously, we’ve tested them) and are eco-friendly with non-toxic formulas, while vitamin E and bamboo lock in hydration for optimum nail health.
Available at LoveLula
12. Morphe X Jaclyn Hill Eyeshadow Palette, £15
A go-to brand for make-up artists and serious beauty insiders alike thanks to its ultra-pigmented, long-wearing shades. This new palette is full of suits-all shades – from dusty pinks to moss greens and crimson reds – perfect when you want a chic alternative to black.

Available in 12 shades, NYX’s new skin veil is a weightless, tinted BB cream that gives breathable coverage with nourishing aloe vera.
