We get it, beauty shopping can be a struggle sometimes, and with so much choice sometimes you can’t decide whether you want a new lipstick or a new moisturiser (or both?) Tonnes of products promise to do it all, but if you’re time-poor you often end up either buying it all (yep) or opting for something you really didn’t want in the first place. If you can relate, don’t get flustered because we’ve got your back and we’re here to guide you on your beauty journey. So here they are, the 5 beauty products you didn’t know you needed until now…

HAIR ENVY

It’s likely that you’ve got a whole load of beauty products in your stash, but one thing you probably didn’t know you needed was hair supplements. That feeling when someone notices how fab your hair’s looking – it’s a good one, isn’t it? With Perfectil Plus Hair, the hair compliments will be coming in as quickly as you can say “good hair day”. Formulated with biotin, selenium and zinc, which all contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, plus vitamin D and iron, which play a role in cell division, these supplements are vital for hair growth. Each tablet contains the optimum blend of vitamins, which are essential for the health of skin, hair and nails as well as additional nutrients which are integral to the restoration of hair. Add it to your bag!

GO BALMY

Every skincare regime needs a double cleanse and a balm is the perfect first step as it removes all traces of makeup and encourages skin-stimulating massage. This buttery Elemis Cleansing Balm is our balm BFF as it not only cleanses, it also provides top-notch anti-ageing benefits and can also be used as a treatment mask! If you’re not already double cleansing, you should start. Only removing your makeup leaves little product to actually cleanse and nourish the skin, so two steps are imperative for great skin. Give it a go here.

GET LIPPY

The words on everybody’s lips? Lipstick or gloss? This is one of the beauty products that causes a lot of debate. Trust us on this one though, you need gloss more than you think. Renowned nail polish brand Smith & Cult brings its playful colours and names to completely shake up the lip market. Smith & Cult’s The Shining Lip Laquer is big on gloss but low on stickiness, which pretty much makes it a win-win situation. This warm melon pink hue offers a swoon-worthy glossy sheen with the smoothing properties of coconut essence. Ladies, it’s time to get glossy – add it to your next order now.

THIS IS HANDY

You reckon you’ve got enough hand creams? You thought wrong; you can never have enough. If you make sure you’ve got one thing in your handbag (apart from the obvious) let it be a good hand cream. This exquisite, high-performance formula does more than deeply moisturise; it delivers brighter, softer hands and stronger nails while actively diminishing signs of pigmentation. Pigmentation often forms as a result of prolonged UV exposure and becomes more prevalent as we age. The Aurelia Hand Cream harnesses a pigmentation complex, based on coveted sea daffodil, helps to reduce the size and density of pigmentation by up to 61% and lightens dark spots for brighter hands that appear younger.

AID RELAXATION

You may not be actively seeking it, but you always need a skin treat. No need to look any further than this rejuvenating and replenishing Sanctuary Spa Salt Body Scrub. Containing sea salt from the renowned Dead Sea and a rich mix of moisturising jojoba, coconut and almond oils, this sumptuous salt scrub leaves skin perfectly polished and intensely moisturised. While the salt gently exfoliates dead cells to stimulate and promote renewal, the oils soak into skin to leave you glowing and decadently scented from head-to-toe. No need for sandpaper when you’ve got this on your bathroom shelf 😉 Try it for yourself in your next box!
