The Makeup Bag Must-Haves

Clear-out those half-empty wands you have lying around (no judgement, we all have them) and take your lashes from ‘meh’ to ‘mighty’. Our Senior Cosmetics Buyer Jade heard the rumours about Maybelline’s Sky High Mascara and put it to the test.

She says: “You can believe the TikTok hype on this mascara. It is amazing and has given me longer and more defined looking lashes!”

The Instant Pick-Me-Ups

Travelling abroad may not be on the cards, RN, but Cosmetics Buyer Cornelia has got a cheat’s guide to glow goals. She says: “Like everyone, I am missing holidays at the moment! Luckily, I can get that post-holiday glow with the Missguided Instant Vacay Bronzer.”

Zainab, Assistant Marketing Manager, has been Zoom-testing our B. Cosmetics range looking for products with staying power. She says:

“My favourite product at the moment is the B. Baking Powder in Medium. It helps lock in my makeup and give a soft matte finish which is perfect as I have oilier skin – it is super easy to apply and really affordable too.”

The Finishing Touch

Looking for an uplifting spritz to switch things up? Our Senior Fragrance Buyer Jem is loving Jean Paul Gaultier Le Belle.

She says: “It’s really feminine and addictive. It has notes of Pear, Vanilla and Bergamot, which you can really identify. It is an EDP, so it lasts a long time and could be either a day or night scent.”

CRM Manager Tracy has been keeping her fave fragrance to herself until now. She says:

“Love the floral scent and the fact it stays on for so long! Lancôme’s Idole is my favourite perfume of all time and one that I get A LOT of questions about. But, I like to keep it a secret because I feel it was made for me.”
