We’ve done the groundwork and tested the products you need now to update your beauty arsenal while adding some instant feel-good vibes to your day.
“As a victim of dehydrated and congested skin that constantly demands serious moisture, I’m always up for trying products that promise to replenish and detoxify my skin. And – better yet – if they require me to light a candle and zone out for five to do a little DIY pampering at home before bed, I’m all for it! The two-step system was very straightforward: step one is a Self Foaming Mask, which felt super-luxurious on my skin and primed it perfectly for step two – the Replenishing Serum. My skin felt instantly hydrated and supple, and after a night’s sleep I woke up with a smooth and glowing complexion. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to achieve that just-stepped-out-of-a-day-spa glow at home in the amount of time it takes to make a cuppa.”
“I tend to get quite oily on my T-zone and this powder has done wonders to keep my shine in check. It feels lightweight on my skin and is completely invisible – even when in photos with a flash! I really love that the packaging has everything you need – just pour the powder into the deep lid, then remove the brush that’s housed in the bottom of the container, swirl it in the powder, tap the excess and you’re good to go. The brush can be a bit tricky to replace, so make sure you’re careful not to damage any of the bristles when putting it back in.”
“I’ve spent ages treating my dry, brittle hair with nourishing masks that make my strands feel soft and silky, only to discover that my hair is still snapping at the first sign of trouble. What I decided I desperately needed was a product that was going to improve the strength of my hair, instead of just making it feel amazing. This lightweight spray features a complex made up of quinoa protein and organic rosehip, which work together to provide your hair with antioxidant vitamins A and C, which are both known to assist with the signs of ageing. I haven’t tested this yet, but the product also claims to help colour adhere to your hair if you use it before colouring – which sounds amazing! ”‹After a few weeks of use, my hair definitely feels stronger and more able to withstand the torture I inflict due to constant heat styling. I’m impressed!”
“The first thing that drew me to this lipstick was the packaging. It looks so pretty! I couldn’t wait to whip it out in public. I love the colours of the floral pattern, which kind of reflect the colours available in the range. I trialled the Bright Bellis shade and was really impressed with the richness of the colour and just how bright it actually was. This lipstick is very hydrating and glides on easily to coat the lips evenly with colour. I found that I did have to reapply after eating and drinking, but that doesn’t bother me too much as I’d much prefer a lipstick that is moisturising and moves a little to one that’s completely drying but stays on all day. If I didn’t eat though, the lipstick would last for hours! Overall a great product from Avon with the best packaging I’ve seen in a while!”
