The seasons are changing and your beauty bag is due a touch-up. It's about time for you to join the tribe and gush about these best-sellers just like everyone else. I've compiled a list of eight cult favourites that not just have a special place in my heart (and vanity), but also enjoy a huge global fandom, of which I’m sure you’ll be a part soon.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk
You’re not far from a show-stopping look with this lipstick that features 3D illuminating pigments that create the impression of fuller, cashmere-soft lips. The formula is also extremely long-lasting and buildable, so you can enjoy as you please without worrying about your pout. Trust me when I say I'm on my third bullet right now.
Huda Beauty Eyeshadow Palette in Naughty Nude
If you aren’t obsessed with nude eyeshadow palettes already, get your hands on this one. With 18 delectable shades that glide on like butter, this palette is literally the stuff of dreams. From velvety soft mattes to high-shine metallics and marble creams, it’s got everything one could need to ace just about any eye look and stay on top of the trends. We’re sorry in advance if you get hooked on this beauty because this palette is going to earn a coveted spot on your dresser display.
Wishful Yo Glow Enzyme Scrub
Infused with a combination of pineapple and papaya enzymes (BHAs and AHAs) that promise a healthy glow, this is no ordinary scrub. This 3-in-1 scrub reveals smooth, radiant and glowing skin in seconds and delivers long-lasting results in just 10 days. Its lightweight, milky texture gently buffs away dead skin cells and impurities for immediate results and provides the perfect canvas for a seamless makeup application.
Benefit Cosmetics BADgal Bang! Mascara
Are you a sucker for long wispy lashes just like me? Then, my friend, you're going to love this genius tube. This full-blast mascara contains aero-particles (one of the lightest known materials) to provide effortless volume without weighing your lashes down. The bristles are equipped to reach root-to-tip, corner-to-corner, for 360-degree volume. You can thank me later.
Pixi Glow Tonic
Let's take a moment to talk about this classic invention. As the name suggests, this award-winning tonic is literally glowing skin in a bottle. It contains glycolic acid, which exfoliates and deeply cleanses the skin while minimising the appearance of pores. It will also balance, heal and soothe your skin to get it ready for the season ahead. That’s your cue to drop everything and bag this must-have.
M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Mini
We can’t t talk about bestsellers and miss out on the classic M.A.C Studio Fix Foundation. This is the ultimate base you need this festive season. It stays on your skin for 24 hours straight and controls oil and shine while keeping the skin hydrated. It doesn’t crease, cake, or settle in your pores to deliver a flawless complexion to make heads turn. Bonus points for the broad spectrum SPF 15, which makes topping up sunscreen easier over makeup.
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base, Travel Size
You cannot go wrong with Bobbi Brown's number one primer that preps, moisturises, and replenishes your base in a flash for the most flawless canvas for your makeup. It has a potent concoction of vitamins and sodium hyaluronate that hydrates and nourishes your skin from within. A true one-step makeup saviour if there was one.
Bahama Mama Bronzer Travel Size
Miss the tan from your exotic vacay? I've got you something that comes very close. The Bahama Mama bronzer is just the thing for you if you love a fresh-off-the-beach glow. This pocket-sized product carries a big punch, and will add the perfect amount of warmth to your complexion instantly. A hard-working multi-tasker, it can also double up as an eyeshadow or when you need to add a frosty sheen to your lips. This beauty keeps flying off the shelves in no time, so if you find it in stock, say thanks and grab it before it goes.
