[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] As ever, Charlotte Tilbury is going to be on a lot of people’s wish list this year. I think, judging from past years, that they’ve reduced their offerings like many brands have. This is a mix of the covid and the brexit effects – many brands have round themselves with excess stock to sell…
[unpaid/sample] If you’re a mid-lifer, I imagine that on first look, Zoeva Velvet Love Liquid Highlighting Blush doesn’t seem like it’s targeted to you. But, this is the same with so much amazing make up that just so happens to be perfect for older skin. It’s funny because there are brands out there producing products…
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] The first thing to note about Guerlain KissKiss Bee Glow Oil is that it has a lightly honey-ish scent and flavour. I’m not massively a honey fan but the Corsican honey is mild and delicate so it’s not troublesome. The other thing to know is that there is a colour amplification element – eosin…
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I rarely bronze, other than self-tan on my face – there never seems to be a need for me to look like I just got back from St Trop. However, I must admit that Ilia could not make bronzer any easier than they have – if I can do it, anyone can! Ilia is…
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I love a coloured mascara but some are much easier to wear than others. Maybelline’s coloured mascaras (ten shades to date) are good options to experiment with, especially if you veer away from bright blue and head to the shades that are enhancers rather than statement. Their newest launch is Green Altitude – a…
Lottie Winter is the Beauty Director at Marie Claire UK. With over a decade of beauty journalism under her belt, she brings a desire to cut through the noise and get to what really matters–– products that deliver, conversations that empower, and beauty that makes people feel like their best selves.
The deals in this article were last checked and updated on 01/12/2025. Few beauty tools spark as much conversation as Dyson’s. After all, the brand reshaped at-home styling in 2016 with the launch of the original Supersonic Hair Dryer—a lightweight, powerful device that changed the way we think about airflow. A few years later, they…
When I get news in my inbox that a new Makeup by Mario product is dropping soon, I’m usually excited. (As a beauty journalist who gets hundreds of emails about new launches every week, that says a lot.) This brand makes some of my favourite makeup products, like the SoftSculpt Shaping Serum, so I naturally…
If you’re struggling to find a gift for the person who already has everything, may I suggest a luxurious hand care duo? It may not be the most practical present, but few things elevate the everyday quite like a beautifully scented washing experience. I, for one, feel infinitely happier when I’m cleansing and moisturising my…
The deals in this article were last checked and updated on 01/12/2025. I don’t think I’m alone in saying that gourmand scents are perhaps some of my least favourite out there. Often heavy and cloying, they have a distinctly youthful feel that doesn’t really match up with my preference for light and fresh perfumes. That…
