Our October Beauty Favourites
Fragrance
1. Atkinsons Perfume Set
Product Pick: Atkinsons Discovery Set
Rosa: I’m really interested to learn more about Atkinsons in general and seeing which fragrances really spark my interest and which ones I’m really going to want to buy the bigger bottles of. I love to back a British company.
2. Estee Lauder Beautiful Magnolia
Product Pick: Estee Lauder Beautiful Magnolia Eau de Parfum
Kalli: The bottle – it’s so classy, so elegant and it looks so looks luxurious. I really like it. I’m so excited!
3. Serge Lutens Poivre Noir
Product Pick: Serge Lutens Poivre Noir Eau de Parfum
Beth: As soon as I smelled this in the office, when Chelsey and Ben were spraying it the other day, my nose was like, ‘what is that? Tell me what that is – I need to know!’
Skincare
4. Avene Hydra-10 Cream
Product Pick: Avene Tolerance Hydra-10 Hydrating Cream
Cath: My skin is quite dry. I’m quite careful with it, and I do cleanse, tone and moisturise twice a day, so I’m hoping that this will suit my skin and perhaps soothe it when it does get irritated and dry.
5. Avene Hydra-10 Fluid
Product Pick: Avene Tolerance Hydra-10 Hydrating Fluid
Ceryn: I have normal skin, but I’ve got eczema and I am prone to dryness because of that. So, I’ve gone for the fluid to use in the day and I’ve also got the cream to use at night, so I can get as much hydration as possible.
6. Caudalie Instant Detox Mask
Product Pick: Caudalie Vinergetic C+ Instant Detox Mask
Zainab: Caudalie Instant Detox Mask is a mask that Kourtney Kardashian uses and it went viral on TikTok. I don’t use masks that regularly in my routine, but I am easily influenced. So, I do want to see what the hype is all about.
7. Caudalie Lip Balm
Product Pick: Caudalie Lip Conditioner
Hannah: I’m looking forward to putting this on before my lipstick to get rid of any dryness and any fine lines that form when your lips are really dry.
8. Clarins Blemish Gel
Product Pick: Clarins My Clarins Re-Boost Mattifying Hydrating Blemish Gel
Kate: I do struggle with the odd breakout, and I like to target those a little bit more in the night when I’ve got all of my skincare on, not having to worry about how it looks! I’m looking forward to seeing if this does what it says.
10. Clarins Lash Serum
Product Pick: Clarins SOS Lashes Serum Mascara
Chelsey: I’m LVL lash addict. I think it’s actually stopped working for me because I go so much, so it’s time I took care of them, and I think this serum is going to be the one that helps.
11. Decleor Green Mandarin Mask
Product Pick: Decleor Green Mandarin Aromaplastie Glow Refining Mask
Darcey: I have quite dull skin; it’s a bit lacklustre, a bit tired-looking, so I’m really excited to try the Mandarin range because it is tailored towards dull skin types, and I’m hoping that it will make them look really radiant and glowing.
12. Dermalogica Liquid Peel
Product Pick: Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel
Monika: My skin is very bad lately and I want to try something else, something different. I thought this might be something that’s actually going to help me. I don’t usually suffer, so I think my old age and my hormones are playing up.

13. Clarins Lash and Brow Gel
Product Pick: Clarins Lash & Brow Double Fix Mascara
Ceryn: I was intrigued by this because it should make all of your mascaras waterproof, so I thought it was a great addition to a beauty routine because, if you feel like you’ve got enough makeup, in my head I was like, ‘this is a justified reason to get this!’
14. Clarins Purifying Toner
Product Pick: Clarins My Clarins Clear-Out Purifying and Mattifying Toner
Kate: I don’t actually have a toner in my routine at the minute, so I’m looking forward to adding this in and seeing if it helps to mattify and target excess shine. And also whether I’m really convinced by adding a toner in and seeing how that affects my skincare routine.
15. Clarins Blemish Lotion
Product Pick: Clarins My Clarins Clear-Out Targeted Blemish Lotion
Kate: It works by drying out your spots overnight, which is perfect for me because I do struggle with the odd breakout.
16. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream
Product Pick: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme
Simona: This claims to brighten, hydrate and target any fine lines. That sounds like the perfect eye cream for me.
17. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum
Product Pick: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex
Zainab: I think a lot of people think of it as just an anti-ageing serum but, what I learned the other day, is that it’s actually seven serums in one – I’m really intrigued to see what it does for my skin.
Makeup
18. Estee Lauder Double Wear Mascara
Product Pick: Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara
Keavy: I chose to try the Double Wear Mascara because I’ve heard a lot about the Double Wear range from word-of-mouth, people saying how amazing the foundation is. I’ve never heard anyone mention the mascara, but I’m sure it’s going to be just as good as the range.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara Review
19. Urban Decay Robin Eisenburg Naked Palette
Product Pick: Urban Decay Naked Robin Eisenburg Eyeshadow Palette
Hannah: It’s just such a such an exciting range of colours. I feel like so many of my palettes are really neutral and I’m really excited to push myself a bit outside of my comfort zone.
Hair
20. Hair Gain Capsules
Product Pick: Hair Gain Hair Capsules
Simona: After I’ve given birth, I’ve realised that my hair slowly started to fall out, far more often than it used to before. I’m just looking for something new to give me fuller, healthy hair.
21. Hair Gain Gummies
Product Pick: Hair Gain Hair Vegan Gummies
Eleni: One of the reasons that I wanted to try this is because of the taste – they just taste like gummies. And it’s just an added bonus that they give you all these vitamins that you need for hair growth.
22. Hair Gain Mask
Product Pick: Hair Gain Hair Mask
Zainab: I have quite dry hair, so a mask is something I use quite regularly anyway. But masks that I’ve used in the past, I only use on the end of my hair, whereas this one, you can actually use on your scalp as well.
