Estée Lauder DayWear Glow Boost Gel Cleanser
Looking for a cleanser that makes your skin feel fresh without leaving it tight? Estée Lauder’s DayWear Glow Boost Gel Cleanser is a travel-friendly, gel-to-foam formula that lifts away makeup, SPF, and daily build-up in one easy step. The clear jelly texture transforms into a soft, silky lather that helps melt away excess oil and impurities, which can dull the skin's appearance over time. With algae extract to help minimise the look of pores, cucumber for a cooling, refreshed feel, and caffeine to visibly soothe, it’s designed to cleanse thoroughly while staying comfortable. Hyaluronic acid and amino acids help skin feel hydrated and smooth post-rinse.

Clinique Exclusive UV Solutions Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50
Clinique's UV Solutions Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50 offers high protection with a lightweight feel. The lightweight, non-sticky formula absorbs quickly and layers comfortably, so it sits neatly under makeup and does not leave skin feeling coated. With broad-spectrum SPF 50 coverage plus antioxidants to help defend against free radicals, it’s a straightforward daily step that works just as well for commuting as it does for long afternoons outside.

Sol De Janeiro Ltd Edition Mists
Sol de Janeiro’s limited edition mists are the easiest way to switch up your scent mood without committing to a full fragrance wardrobe. Cheeky Biquini leans juicy and sun-warmed with apricot nectar, peach, and açai, softened with orange blossom and a sheer vanilla finish. Limonada Gelada is bright and addictive, blending Brazilian lemonade, bergamot zest, and pineapple with creamy coconut, musk, and a warm amber base. Refresco Paraíso feels fresh and green, opening with rainforest orchid, jungle leaves, and lime, then settling into airy notes that read like a tropical mist on skin.

Elemis Exclusive Pro-Collagen Body Cleansing Balm
Inspired by ELEMIS’ iconic Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, this body version turns your daily shower into something a little more spa-like. The liquid balm texture transforms as you use it, melting into a nourishing milk and finishing in a softening foam that leaves skin feeling clean, comfortable, and noticeably smoother. With hydrating saccharide isomerate, Padina pavonica algae, and a trio of British botanical oils, it’s designed to support the skin barrier and keep skin feeling hydrated for up to 24 hours, even after rinsing. The signature blend of essential oils adds that fresh, uplifting finish that makes your routine feel instantly more considered.

L'Occitane Amande (Almond) Shimmering Body Oil
L’Occitane’s Almond Shimmering Body Oil is the kind of finishing step that makes skin look instantly more polished. The lightweight dry oil glides on easily and sinks in without feeling greasy, leaving a soft, satin sheen with a subtle shimmer that catches the light beautifully. With almond oil at the heart of the formula, it helps skin feel nourished and comfortable, while the warm, gently sweet almond scent lingers like a clean, sun-warmed veil. Smooth it over shoulders, collarbones, arms, and legs whenever you want that just-back-from-holiday glow, without the effort.

Prada Touch Blush 3.5g (Various Shades)
Prada’s Touch Blush is your shortcut to that fresh, just-pinched flush, with a clever hybrid texture that makes it feel more like skincare than powder. The formula goes on as a creamy balm, then shifts into a soft-focus, powder finish that looks smooth and seamless on the skin. Blendable and buildable, it delivers strong colour payoff without feeling sticky, while skin-caring ingredients like pro-vitamin E and raspberry extract help keep the finish looking comfortable and even. Wear it on cheeks, lips, or eyes for an easy, pulled-together look.
£42.00
Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Colour Correcting Under Eye Setting Powder
Laura Mercier’s Secret Brightening Under Eye Setting Powder is made for the detailed work that pulls a base together. Finely milled and featherlight, it sets concealer without taking away the natural look of skin, helping to soften the appearance of shadows and keep the under-eyes looking smoother for longer. The finish stays comfortable and non-cakey, so it works especially well if your concealer tends to crease or slip through the day. Sweep on a small amount with a soft brush, focusing on the inner corner and any areas you want to keep bright and fresh.
£31.00
KIKO Milano Lip Volume 6.5ml (Various Shades)
KIKO Milano’s Lip Volume is a gloss-meets-treatment step that gives lips a fuller-looking finish in seconds. The lightweight texture glides on smoothly with a high-shine effect, while the plumping action helps lips appear more defined without feeling heavy or sticky. It’s an easy one to keep in your bag for quick top-ups, whether you wear it alone for a glassy, fresh look or layer it over liner or lipstick when you want a little more impact.

Garnier Keratin Sleek 4-Step Shine Bundle
A sleek-hair routine that actually feels doable, this Garnier Keratin Sleek 4-Step Shine Bundle brings together four formulas designed to work in sync for smoother-looking lengths and a glossier finish. Inside, you’ll find a creamy shampoo and conditioner to soften and detangle, plus a velvety mask that helps make flyaways feel more manageable and leaves hair feeling nourished. The final step is the Diamond Spray, a shine-boosting mist that’s made to help defend against the effects of humidity, so hair looks more polished even when the forecast is doing the most.

OUAI Bond Repair Balm
OUAI’s Bond Repair Balm is a leave-in step designed to make damaged hair look and feel more put-together, without weighing it down. The light, creamy formula smooths split ends and adds softness, enhancing gloss and control, particularly for hair that is regularly heat-styled. It also doubles as a styling helper, working through mid-lengths and ends to help reduce the look of frizz and flyaways while giving hair a sleeker finish. Apply on damp hair before blow-drying, or smooth a small amount through dry ends when you want extra polish.
