Find out what’s hot on the beauty block this month with our round up of the trends to know about, perfect for leading you into the summer months in style: from the best products to achieve sun-kissed skin, to the travel essentials you need to take on your next getaway.

Travel-sized Treats

Miniature makeup is likely all over your socials – and for good reason! Brands are launching their bestselling beauty products in smaller versions, so now you can purchase your favourite beauty essentials in smaller, travel-sizes. What’s not to love?!

With summer just around the corner, beauty minis make the perfect travel companions to take on your getaway. Get glam on your travels with your usual makeup must-haves (from lash-lengthening mascaras to mini moisturisers to surge your complexion with hydration on the plane), keep your locks looking salon-worthy throughout your trip with trustworthy haircare minis, or choose a new favourite holiday scent with our range of fun-sized fragrances – the choice is yours!

Our top picks:

Body oils

Get your glow from top-to-toe with the latest bodycare trend to know about. Body oils are becoming a beauty routine staple for many, celebrated for their ability to nourish the skin whilst leaving a glistening, light-reflecting finish. Drench your skin in your favourite body oil after a shower, or apply just before you go out to give you instant luminosity for hours on end. What’s more, body oils are often loaded with skin-loving ingredient to help you indulge in a moment of sensorial self-care, as you swap coarse texture for a silky-smooth finish.

Our top picks:

Bronzing Essentials

You don’t need to soak up the sun to get radiant skin this summer! Create an instant bronze glow with beauty products designed to brighten up your complexion, offering a tanned tint for natural-looking results. Add these glowing formulas into your summer beauty routine for a ‘your skin but better’ effect, revealing a sun-kissed gleam that’ll leave you feeling your best on those no-makeup days.

Our top picks:

Sun-kissed blush

Get ready to add a flush of colour across your cheeks this summer, as the influencers of TikTok create their go-to summer makeup looks. Try applying your liquid blush under the eye, then blending onto the high points of your cheeks to mimic the warmth of the sun naturally hitting your complexion, leaving a gradient finish that’s sure to turn heads!

Boyfriend blush

The boyfriend blush trend has also been floating around socials lately, it involves blending the colour down the cheek to mimic a flushed appearance that is commonly seen in men after playing sports. The 90’s inspired placement of the blush works to create a youthful look as it creates fuller-looking cheeks as well as highlighting the cheekbones.

Our top picks:

Glistening lips

Glazed, glistening pouts are also a must this summer. Acting as an extension of the glass skin trend, apply a high-shine gloss onto your lips to achieve juicy, fuller-looking lips – destined to add that glossy finishing touch to your summer makeup look!

Our top picks:

SPF-infused beauty

Protect your complexion from the sun with SPF-infused beauty products that can be easily incorporated into your routine. Designed to promote healthy-looking skin, discover broad-spectrum, UV-protecting daily moisturisers and nourishing suncare-powered lip balms to help shield your complexion against the sun, whether you’re home or away this summer!

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been interested in all things beauty as I used to watch my mum do her makeup and hair all the time and then I would try and use her products! I now love finding the best beauty buys out there and then recommending them to my friends and family to find out there experience with using them. To me the beauty industry has no limits, you can use different products or even just one product to create a variety of looks and through using different tools it can be made into an experience tailored to you. For me, perfecting my base is my fave thing to do and play around with, as I like it to last me all day whilst still looking flawless! So a handful of high quality products that I can rely on to achieve my natural yet airbrushed effect daily look is an essential as it gives me the confidence to be bold. As I am always trying and testing out new foundations, concealers, powders, primers and setting sprays I feel like I have a handle on the best makeup products out there. I am an advocate in using products that make you feel FANTASTIC as well as LOOKING FANTASTIC! I am currently loving the NARS Afterglow Lip Balm in the shade 'Orgasm' as it adds the perfect sheen of colour onto my lips whilst also moisturising them!
