Nose strips may not be the most glamorous way of cleansing but they’re definitely the most satisfying way to un-clog pores. Biore’s formula includes tea tree oil, menthol and witch hazel for a deep and thorough cleanse.
We love a multi-tasking product that speeds up our morning routine. This creamy cleanser doubles up as a gentle daily exfoliator and is great for prepping skin before make-up.
The key to good self-tanning is to keep it s secret; meaning no one other than yourself knows it came from a bottle. This is our favourite gradual tan for building up a natural looking glow without any greasiness or tell-tale scent.
Serious value for money, this palette is made up of 10 nude shades from neutral mattes to rich, smoky metallics. All you need to create a perfect nude smoky eye.
Barry M’s nail formula rivals premium polishes (doesn’t chip/streak/run easily) and comes in an extensive shade range. Not bad for a product that costs roughly the same as a Pret coffee.
