If you’re a fan of La Roche Posay’s Effaclar Duo, you’ll be as excited as I was when you hear about this new addition to their blemish-busting lineup. It uses salicylic acid to unclog pores and prevent future breakouts, targets the spots that are already there and improves stubborn pigmentation that serves as a reminder of what once was. They weren’t wrong when they promised you could expect rapid results in eight hours; when I woke up, my spots felt much less painful and prominent, and the post-acne on my cheeks had significantly faded. I am impressed.

I will admit my collection of eyeshadow sticks is getting out of hand. Can you blame me? They serve to provide a foolproof solution to transform any eye look. And if this one is good enough for Rihanna, then it is good enough for me. As a brand that prides itself on shade inclusivity, this collection’s real selling point is that it promises to provide a shade that matches your complexion. Its formula is next-level creamy, swiping over the eyes instantly without tugging or creasing.

As a lover of a bouncy blow-dry, I will try just about anything that promises to boost my hair’s volume. However, the last place I look to include volumising powers is in my conditioner, as I like to reserve that step in my hair routine to nourish and hydrate. This volumising conditioner promises to do both. Its ultra-nourishing yet impressively lightweight formula leaves hair thicker and full of volume. The result is a fresh-out-of-the-salon feel.

ghd’s annual pink campaign has arrived in time for Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I think 2023’s peachy hue is their most aesthetic yet. It marks 20 years of supporting breast cancer charities, raising over £19 million worldwide. Each purchase donates £10 to Breast Cancer Now or €10 to the Irish Cancer Society and comes with a complimentary zip bag with a powerful ‘Take Control Now’ slogan.

I love to embrace darker nights by incorporating a facial massage into my evening skincare routine. Autumn’s temperature drop always leaves my skin crying out for hydration, so this new face oil has arrived at the perfect time of year. Rich oils melt into the skin without leaving any greasy residue behind, and they treat it to omegas and skin-defending antioxidants.

It’s safe to say that Only Curls’ hair care formulas know a thing or two about caring for coils and curls. So, its collaboration with the ultimate curl styling companion, the Denman D3, calls for celebration. After summer left my hair frazzled, I tried to lay off the heat styling and embrace my natural hair texture. This brush is a must-have to untangle locks and enhance curl patterns.

Kylie Jenner’s lips have had significantly more attention than the average person’s, so you can place a confident bet that any lip launch in her arsenal is top standard. This month, she launched her cult favourite lip oil in three new fruity flavours, giving me all kinds of 90s nostalgia. Unlike the sticky formulas of yesteryear, this delivers all the gloss in a nourishing balm finish.
