BUYERS' PICKS: THE FACE + BODY ROUNDUP
By Ayis Stephen-Diver, 7 May 2024
EMMA, ESTABLISHED BUYER
Milk Makeup Kush Lip Oil - Cookie Dough, £22
'I love this new addition to the Milk Makeup Kush range! It's super-hydrating, non-sticky and gives my lips a gorgeous shine. All the flavours smell amazing, but my favourite is Cookie Dough, it has a warm vanilla scent.'
INCA, SENIOR ASSISTANT BUYER
Skin Gym High-Frequency Wand, £105
'This new skincare tool is the coolest kid on the block! Aestheticians use this tool to lift and tighten the skin, zap away zits and shrink the appearance of pores! I use this DIY kit about twice a week alongside my other skincare products to improve absorption, it's amazing.'
FRANKIE, BUYER
'I've used this serum for two years and I can confirm: it's the best one I've ever tried. After 4 weeks my lashes looked longer, fuller and healthier. That's because the serum stimulates eyelash growth while nourishing and conditioning them – all thanks to the Panthenol within.'
CARRIE, SENIOR ASSISTANT BUYER
'Benetint is an all-time fave of mine, so I was super excited to try this new tint! This one has become my new everyday staple - it delivers a pinkish-nude that lasts all day, and despite being matte, it's also very hydrating thanks to it's moisturising ingredients.'
KAYLEIGH, ASSISTANT BUYER
Clinique Moisture Surge 100 Hydrator, £26
'I don't only use this product as a daily moisturiser, I also use it *religiously* under my makeup! It's infused with vitamins C and E for ultimate hydration throughout the day, and it leaves my skin feeling soft, soothed and glowing. This is a must-have.'
AIMEE, ASSISTANT BUYER
Sol De Janeiro Rio Radiance Spray SPF 50, £30
'A lot of products from Sol De Janeiro's new SPF body range have become staples in my rotation, but this spray takes the top spot. It's the perfect product for OTG sun protection, plus it smells divine and leaves a gorg golden shimmer on my skin.'
CLARE, BUYER
The Ordinary Retinal Serum, £16
'Retinal is an all-rounder; it unclogs pores, minimises hyperpigmentation and aids collagen production. As it's suspended in a lightweight gel texture, this product absorbs quickly and offers lasting hydration. I've tried and tested a lot of serums, and this is a 100% repurchase.'
NATASHA, SENIOR ASSISTANT BUYER
Charlotte Tilbury Big Lip Plumpgasm, £27
'Obsessed isn't even the word for this new addition to the pillow talk family! This lip gloss gives me an instant hydrating, plumping effect that lasts for ages. It's available in two iconic pink shades; I wear both on my office days and for any social events.'
