From skin-boosting face masks to a new-hybrid makeup, here is everything the Harlequin beauty team can’t get enough of right now…
Byoma Bio-Collagen Radiance Facial Mask 60ml
Boots £16.99
Dubbed as the ‘liquid-in-a-tub’ face mask, this high-street product has our attention. Simply apply the silky pink gel, relax for 20-30 minutes until the mask forms a clear film, and then peel it off for super-hydrated, clear skin.
We love: We apply this mask before a day out for radiant, ‘glass’ skin
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 (SPF50+)
Superdrug £15.49
SPF is an important part of your skincare routine, but finding one that gives you high-coverage (yes, you should be wearing SPF every day, even if it’s not sunny) that sits under makeup without a greasy build-up can feel like a mammoth and expensive punt.
We love: The watery texture is fast-absorbing, making it an easy part of our everyday skincare routine. Easy to apply even on rushed days.
Menoglow Super Hydrating Sleep Cream
M&S £35
In menopause, the level of collagen and elastin in our skin reduces, causing thinning, wrinkles and a reduction in suppleness. Our oestrogen dips and for those with night sweats, overnight moisture loss is a key challenge – one that can exacerbate fine lines.
We love: Using this on our face and neck. Our skin feels firmer and calmer by morning.
Tirtir Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation
Boots £21
This top-trending K-Beauty brand offers a whopping 72-hour coverage (we are not sure we can stay up that long!) with a lightweight, dewy, and semi-matte finish. So, we know it lasts a long time, but will you find a match for your skin tone? Yes! TIRTIR boasts over 40 shades of this must-try foundation, which can be built up gradually using its blurring applicator.
We love: The plush puff applicator for seamless application.
Anua Niacinamide 10% and TXA 4% Serum 30ml
Boots £22
If you suffer from dark spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone, look to skincare that includes Niacinamide, a vitamin that helps to minimise pore appearance and calms redness and acne. We love this lightweight serum, which targets sun spots and uneven texture, packed with hyaluronic acid to add hydration. Apply after cleansing, suitable for day and night application.
We love: This potent serum packs a punch but is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Fenty Gloss Bomb Stix High Shine Gloss Stick
Boots £23
Meet our latest obsession! This viral fave has been successful in bringing together ample lipstick colour with a gloss effect. It comes in 10 popular shades – our fave is ‘Is It Fu$$y’, what is yours? – and can be built up to amplify a colour boost.
We love: To team this with Trace’d Out Longwear Waterproof Pencil Lip Liner (£19, Boots) to define lip shape.
Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask
Superdrug £26
We wanted to find out whether this overnight moisturising mask was worth the hype – and we couldn’t complain with the results. Packed with collagen extract, hyaluronic acid and ceramide NP, this product is popular for reducing sagging and firming up skin. Apply before bed to clean skin and peel off in the morning to reveal a complexion that feels moisturised, radiant and plumped. We like it!
We love: A luxurious, non-sticky gel that feels luxurious that delivers a satisfying ‘peel-off’ reveal in the morning
Studio Fix 24hr Colour Corrector
Mac Cosmetics £18
New to MAC is this makeup bag miracle that helps to balance skin tones, reducing redness and covering acne and rosacea. Apply the corrector before your foundation to create an even base for your makeup. Genius!
We love: Popping this on trouble areas such as under the eyes and dark spots for a neutral base before starting our makeup routine.
The Dream Collection Whipped Shower Foam, Rituals
Rituals £11.90
Hit the showers with this dreamy coloured foam (yes, it’s lilac, which makes it, well, just better!) from the new Rituals collection to be enveloped in pure luxury. Inspired by Morocco, it’s a nose sensation with scents of sheer jasmine, powdery orris, warm sandalwood, and musk. This is a limited edition, so, run don’t walk for this one before they go!
We love: A fun product that makes us want to stay in the shower longer!
Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick
Space NK (coming soon) £37
When Sienna Miller endorsed this product, we had to try it and boy, is it good. A handy cream stick that can be applied straight to your face and blurred using either your fingers or a large blending brush. It’s lightweight, creamy, with a subtle, radiant glow. Inused with a Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E formula that keeps your skin hydrated for a smooth-looking, almost blurred effect.
We love: You can use it for full coverage or to top up your make-up on the move. A little goes a long way.
Compressed Towels
MINISO £2
These eco-friendly towels have been a staple in our beauty box for a while. Made from 100% natural, plant-based materials like cotton or bamboo fibre, the face cleansing towels are tablet-sized and expand quickly when exposed to water.
We love: Perfect for beauty on the move.
Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ Straight+Wavy Hair Styler
Boots £480
From grown-out shaggy bobs to gravity-defying curly mid-cuts, Fashion Week dished up a host of gorgeous mid-length hair styles to recreate this season. But how to replicate these styles for your everyday? Step forward the Dyson Airdrop, the one-is-all product which will dry and style your hair – curls, straight, smooth, bouncy – a lightweight, easy-to-use and sound-defying multi-styler which (and we did shop about) cannot be beaten for easy styling. It’s an investment, but it’s worth it.
We love: Fast drying, creating salon-worthy curls.
