Amanda Harrington
Face Illuminating Bronzing Mist, £30.00“We’re in bank holiday season, which means it’s time to tan as far as I’m concerned. Amanda Harrington’s clever mists give you a natural, sun kissed glow, the kind that leave you looking fresh-faced and well-rested rather than obviously ‘tanned’ or orange. I use Natural Rose and recommend it to anyone who comments on my glow.” - Victoria

Malin + Goetz
SPF 30 High Protection Sunscreen, £32.00“Mineral SPFs have a reputation for feeling heavy and looking chalky. I can promise you that Malin + Goetz’s latest formula offers high protection with none of the downsides. The gel-cream texture feels light and doesn’t leave a gritty or greasy film on your face. It’s become a daily fixture in my routine as a result.” - Helena

Rare Beauty
Positive Light Tinted Moisturiser, £26.00“Looking to switch up your base now that the weather is improving? Rare Beauty has just unveiled its tinted moisturiser and it is a game-changer. Available in 24 shades and much like the rest of the range, it’s the texture that will get you hooked. It’s lightweight yet hydrating and leaves your skin looking radiant.” - Julie

Sisley-Paris
Hair Rituel Soothing Anti-dandruff Cure, £90.00“Dandruff definitely isn’t the sexiest of topics, but fortunately Sisley-Paris has put a luxury spin on it with its soothing scalp treatment. If, like me, dandruff is a concern, massaging three drops of this leave-in serum onto your scalp will help rebalance, nourish, and most importantly, keep dandruff at bay. You don’t need to worry about the formula leaving your hair feel greasy, I promise.” - Helena

Sol de Janeiro
Beija Flor Elasti-Cream, £20.00“As I mentioned last month, Sol de Janeiro has a new cream, and I am obsessed with it. The Beija Flor Elasti-Cream hydrates, smoothes and firms skin, and of course, in true Sol de Janeiro style it smells delicious too.” Charlotte

Aesop
Exalted Eye Serum, £80.00“If you find traditional eye creams too heavy, you will love Aesop Exalted Eye Serum. It’s jam-packed with hydrating and soothing ingredients, including vitamin B and E, to leave your eye area feeling soft and smooth. I’ve found that one drop is plenty for both eyes.” – Helena

Augustinus Bader
The Ultimate Soothing Cream, £215.00“What started as just two creams has evolved into a full skincare line-up and Augustinus Bader hasn’t let me down yet. If you’re someone with dry, sensitive skin and want a moisturiser that offers some extra TLC, the new Ultimate Soothing Cream was made for you. Formulated with the optimal dose of TFC8, along with barrier strengthening vitamins and amino acids, this cream will leave your skin feeling softer and calmer almost immediately.” – Victoria

Briogeo
Curl Charisma™ Rice Amino + Avocado Hydrating & Defining Mask, £32.00“Around springtime there is always a flurry of curl focused launches and this year we’re bringing you Briogeo’s curl-pleasing mask. Enriched with avocado, caster and chia seed oils, as well as shea butter and amino acids, this rich cream helps to smooth curls and alleviate frizz.” – Charlotte

Hourglass
Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm, £34.00“Hourglass’ latest lip offering is rather exciting. It provides the high-pigment of a lipstick with the texture of a balm and the finish of a gloss, and it gives the illusion of fuller-looking lips. I switch between the natural Mist hue and the punchier Entice.” – Julie

Eve Lom
Foaming Cream Cleanser, £45.00“Some foaming cleansers can be too strong and end up stripping your skin of all its natural oils. Eve Lom’s carefully balanced cleanser helps to wash away dirt and makeup, including waterproof formulas, without drying out skin.” – Victoria

By Terry
Brightening CC Liquid Blush Limited Edition, £32.00“I’d buy this liquid blush for the packaging alone, but I can testify that the formula inside is just as pleasing. With two joy-bringing shades and a healthy, dewy finish, this product is going to be a bestseller this summer.” – Julie
