3. Avon True Colour Lash Genius Mascara, £7
Using carbon-black pigments and a smart control gel formula, Avon’s latest mascara is essential when you’re going for thick, voluminous lashes. While it delivers on impact, the formula feels flexible, so it never clumps or sits too heavily. Plus, the large brush coats every part of your lashes for optimum inkiness.
4. Tropic Kiss Me Quick Lipsticks, £20
The creamy bullets on these Tropic lipsticks produce the perfect balance of pigment and warmth, with a glossy finish that doesn’t crease or dry the lips out. Our go-to shade? Guavaberry. This rich, vibrant red is more flattering than you’d think and complements a tan perfectly.

5. Bastide Figue D’Ete Body Wash, £9
With a surprisingly high percentage of fragrance, Bastide’s natural body wash keeps skin smelling and feeling fresh all day long with the comforting scent of figs. It feels incredibly luxe and doesn’t include any chemical-heavy ingredients either. Instead, it uses coconut oils and olive oil to create a silky soft formula.

Crabtree & Evelyn has recently revamped its entire range. One of our new favourites is this hardworking body bar.

9. BECCA Glow Gloss, £18
Packed with ginger, peppermint oil and shea butter, BECCA’s glossy tubes have a cushion-y texture that feels so satisfying to apply. Available in 11 shades, it provides the shine of a traditional lip gloss, but with the rich pigment of a liquid lipstick, so it stays put for hours. We like to dab a little onto the cheeks too for a wet-look flush.

10. Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil, £14
Using just a single ingredient – olive-derived squalane oil – this is ideal for anyone that’s sceptical of oils. While it hydrates, it also helps to reduce hyper-pigmentation and boost elasticity with a non-comedogenic formula that absorbs almost instantly. It’s non-greasy texture is a huge bonus when it comes to makeup – there’s no stickiness and your base can be applied straight away.

13. Stila Magnum XXX Mascara, £19
Stila uses its signature Curl Flex formula in their latest mascara to lift and set lashes for a wide-eye effect. Despite delivering full volume, it feels suprisingly lightweight and flexible, so you won't have any clumping or stickiness build throughout the day. The deep black colour is a win, too, leaving lashes feeling and looking rich and full.

14. Lano Face Base, £20
Cult brand Lanolips is known for its nourishing lip balms. Now it’s expanded into leave-on face masks. Its latest face base is ideal for taking with you on your next flight, or for using when your skin feels and looks a little grey. Leave on for ten minutes, and let the mint, coffee and glycerine smooth enlarged pores and rehydrate thirsty complexions.
