Our Fashion & Beauty Editor Shares Her Latest Beauty Empties
Pocket Blush
£24 | Rhode
I’ve always been loyal to cream blusher but this one has earned itself a permanent spot. ‘Freckle’ is that elusive perfect shade – not too pink, not too red, just a soft bronzy flush that lifts the whole face. It’s lasted me so long that this is the first time I’m having to top it up, which says a lot considering how often I reach for it. The dewy, natural finish is the icing on the cake.

Face Sculpt
£38 | Refy
On mornings when my skin needs a wake-up call, this is the product I turn to. It has just the right amount of slip to give myself a quick sculpting massage – no slipping, sliding or fuss – and it leaves my skin noticeably fresher and more prepped for make-up. It’s the kind of product that makes me wonder how I managed without it.

Blurring Colour Blush
£40 | Suqqu
I was a powder blush sceptic – Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette aside – until I tried this. The matte texture somehow still looks soft and luminous, adding just the right amount of colour without overwhelming the skin. I love using it as the finishing touch over cream or liquid blush to lock everything in – minus the chalky finish.

Vanish Airbrush Concealer
£36 | Hourglass
A true staple in my routine, this concealer never lets me down. The coverage is so good I often skip foundation altogether, plus it stays smooth and crease-free all day. ‘Dune’ is such a perfect shade match I keep back-ups on hand – I simply go through it too quickly not to.

Seymour Body Wash With Reusable Pump
£65 | Commune
If a body wash could bottle a spa experience, this would be it. Yes, it’s an indulgence but between the elegant packaging, the addictive scent and the way it leaves my skin feeling soft and pampered, it’s proof that little luxuries are always worth splurging on from time to time.

Eyebrow Pencil
£22 | Blink Brow Bar London x Ahluwalia
This pencil has completely raised the bar for my brow routine. The formula is creamy enough to blend but sets impressively well, so it stays put all day – no smudging or fading. Plus, the shade hits that perfect sweet spot between too ashy and too warm, which is harder to find than you’d think.

Nourishing Building Pack
£32.75 | Davines
Davines has long been one of my haircare heroes, and this mask just reinforces why. Run through the ends after the brand’s OI shampoo, it leaves my hair silky, smooth and healthier-looking every time. Add in the gorgeous scent, and it’s become a ritual I genuinely look forward to.

Jet Lag Eye Patches
£25 | Summer Fridays
These under-eye patches are my secret weapon for faking a full eight hours of sleep. Cooling, hydrating and instantly reviving, they tackle puffiness and tiredness in minutes – perfect before make-up or as a midweek rescue when the late nights start to show. I never travel without them.

The Light Cream
£150 | Augustinus Bader
This is the kind of moisturiser that earns its cult status. Lightweight yet hardworking, it smooths, calms and leaves my skin looking fresh without a hint of shine. It sits effortlessly under SPF and make-up and, because a little really does go a long way, it feels like an indulgence that more than pays for itself.
