Elvive Growth Booster Serum
£8.50 (was £17) | L'Oréal
There are so many factors that can affect hair growth, and plenty of expensive, supposedly miraculous remedies – from supplements to gadgets.

The Weightless Refillable Deodorant
£9.95 | Estrid
Aerosol deodorants are notoriously bad for the environment, so for those looking to make the switch, this refillable roll-on by Estrid is a great conscious option. Formulated with probiotic-rich noni fruit to balance the skin’s microbiome, it has a light, serum-like texture that feels practically weightless. If you balk at paying a tenner for a deodorant, know that each refill comes in at under £4 – so once you’ve got the bottle, it’s a fair price.

Cocoa & Latte Eau De Parfum
£17.99 | Zara
The rise in food and drink-inspired beauty has peaked with Zara’s new Cocoa collection. Straight out of a Wonka fantasy comes this delectable scent which blends notes of white, milk and dark chocolate with chantilly cream. Before you write it off as migraine-inducing, give it a whiff – it’s surprisingly wearable, and not at all sickly, but smooth and enveloping instead.

Deep Moisture Hair Mask
£5 | Monday
The quest for a nourishing hair mask is a hot topic on the SL Community, and this one by Monday is one of the best bargains in the category. Formulated with shea butter, argan oil and hydrolysed keratin, this leaves your locks feeling like silk. Comb it through your hair (dry or damp) from root to tip, leave it on for ten minutes, then rinse it out for a touchable softness.

Wonderland Peony Perfume Mist
£24 | Floral Street
Floral Street, the brainchild of PR powerhouse Michelle Feeney, has some excellent, well-crafted scents within its line-up. Its new Perfume Mists would suit those who prefer something lighter and less heady than a traditional eau de parfum. If you’re a liberal spritzer, this won’t break the bank either, and you can just throw it in your bag and top it up throughout the day.

BADgal Bounce Mascara
£27 | Benefit Cosmetics
We’re loving Benefit’s BADgal Bounce – and so is everyone on TikTok. Designed to give you the best of both volume and length, it features a dual-sided brush with fibre bristles and a fine-tooth comb. Giving you a full, feathery flutter, it creates noticeable lift, helping open the eye so you appear fresh and wide-awake.
