From Sex Toys To Skincare: 15 Products Our Readers Loved In October

Bestselling products OctoberWe hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, HuffPost UK may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI – prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.I don’t know whether it’s because so many holidays are coming up (or just gone) or if it’s just down to the change in weather, but I’ve started looking for gift ideas, home comforts, and new winter clothes a lot more recently. And because we here at HuffPost UK can see behind the scenes of some of your favourite shopping articles, we know loads of you have too. In case you’re looking for inspiration and want to see what others swear by – or even if you’re just a little nosy, like us – we thought we’d share some of the products our readers loved the most from us this month. In no particular order: 1) The Nimbi dermaplanerOne box of this viral face-shaving tool sells per second in the US, so perhaps it’s no wonder it’s performing well on our shores too.After all, the shaver, which is made from compostable cellulose, is a low-waste way to achieve fuzz-free skin – it’ll fully degrade in 308 days, even in marine environments. With 97% of users saying it made their skin smooth and the same amount stating they noticed no discomfort days after use, I reckon I might join our readers in nabbing my own box.2) Kalme’s anti-redness, colour-correcting concealerThis “chameleon” colour-correcting concealer aims to reduce the appearance of red skin while protecting your all-important barrier – potentially useful to the one in 10 UK adults who struggle with rosacea.Its green-to-skin effect helps to balance bright red tones in your skin.But that’s not all. Anti-inflammatory ingredients like caper extract and Biolin, as well as its Derma Sensitive actives and SPF 20, hope to protect your dermis too.3) The Oodie puffer jacketHate that sticky, plastic-y puffer jacket feeling on your skin? Us too – which might explain why Oodie’s fleece-lined coat is getting so much of readers’ attention at the moment. It’s long enough, waterproof enough, and stylish enough for pretty much every outdoor task you can throw at it, from walking your dog on frosty mornings to getting a cold morning parkside coffee with a mate. And with three times the insulation of the Aussie company’s previous sold-out original, the cosy coat is sure to become a staple part of your winter wardrobe.4) Snag’s plant-based tights and shorts If you 1) wear tights and 2) have social media, chances are you’ve heard of Snag’s viral offerings before. They’re known for inclusive, stylish pairs that hold up to multiple wears.Now, the company has added another string to their impressive bow: their Biotights and plant-based Chub Rub Shorts are made from sustainable castor oil. The renewable plant offers a silky-smooth fabric (Nylon 11) that’s just as durable and comfortable as regular nylon. And with designs as cute as these, why wouldn’t you choose the brand’s more planet-friendly versions?5) Lovehoney’s spicy advent calendar ’Tis the season for sex and savings, apparently. Lovehoney’s bargain of an advent calendar has already proven a hit – its contents are worth £501.56, but the lot together will only set you back £149. What “contents”, you ask? Well, items include toys like The Womaniser Classic 2 and We-Vibe Sync Lite (those alone are worth £188.99), along with bullet vibrators, gels, wipes, rings, blindfolds, and much more. 6) Dermatica’s personalised skincareOur Parents editor Natasha gave Dermatica’s personalised skincare a try. After a couple of weeks, in her words, her visage was left “rivalling a toddler’s”.That’s because the site picks the exact ingredients you need, in the right dosage, given your stated needs and goals. In case you somehow needed another reason to give the science-backed programme a go, new customers can get 50% off their first three months with the code HUFFPOST (usually £24.99 a month), too.7) Lingo by Abbott’s continuous glucose monitor You don’t need to wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), which measures your glucose levels in real time, unless you’re diabetic. But some people have been doing it anyway to track “sugar spikes”, which have been linked to worse sleep and a “flat” mood. So, I thought I’d join them for a couple of weeks. Lingo by Abbott’s CGM was easy (and painless) to apply, and it taught me why my 3pm slumps kick in after my carb-heavy lunches (oops). In my opinion, it’s worth a try if you want to learn more about how your diet and glucose levels may correlate to your day-to-day mood and energy levels. 8) Hair & Me’s made-for-you haircareHair loss and thinning are often presented as older-man-only issues – but we know that’s not actually true. 42% of 25-to-49-year-olds, regardless of gender, say they want to reduce their levels of both. So it’s a good thing Hair + Me are here to help you build the perfect formula for your hair and lifestyle. They offer an in-depth questionnaire which helps to identify the exact issues you want addressed, as well as your hair type and other details. Last but most definitely not least: you can save 55% a month for your first three months with code HUFFPOSTHM, which brings it down to £14.99 a month for that period.9) Lily’s Kitchen pet food Lily’s Kitchen’s pet food is made from vet-approved recipes for dogs and cats. Its quality ingredients include proper meat, offal, and fish – and right now, you can enjoy fun seasonal flavours like their Hocus Pocus stew alongside long-beloved classics.10) Riff Raff’s sleep aid toys The Aussie brand has finally made its way to the UK, which is great news for parents – their sleep toys, after all, offer 10 features aimed at comforting and calming little snoozers. They’re washable, come with a play-all-night option, and even include weighted versions for added sensory soothing. No wonder thousands of parents have already given them five stars...11) Dusk’s absolute steal of a washable, Persian-style rugIt’s not just that the burnt orange beauty offers 120x170cm of perfect pattern for under £40. We reckon its machine-washable nature, cosy, earthy tones, and soft feel help, too – no wonder it’s flying off the (virtual) shelves.12) Dusk’s 80% goose down duvetThe temperatures are getting colder, which by rights ought to mean your bed is getting softer, fluffier, and warmer.If that’s not quite materialised for you yet, consider this 80% goose down duvet from Dusk. Available in 4.5, 9, and 13.5 tog, it comes in single, double, king, and super king sizes: in other words, all tastes and beds are (literally) covered. With an impressive 4.9-star average rating from 920 reviews, it’s looking like a pretty strong contender for my own winter duvet.13) M&S’s chic polka dot dressOur fashion-loving shopping writer Aidan has been mega-impressed by M&S’s recent sartorial offerings – and it seems you lot agree with her, especially when it comes to this V-neck polka-dot option. With flattering frills, breathable long sleeves, and perfect-for-everything midaxi length, I can’t say I’m too surprised by its popularity.14) M&S’s Harper cigarette jeans If you needed any more proof that stylish and professional are not mutually exclusive terms, these high-waist, rolled-hem jeans’ rave reviews might do it. Comfortable and effortlessly chic, they’ll look as good in a boardroom as they will on your weekend trip to the farmer’s market. Customer after customer used the words “smart” and “upgrade” when describing this pair. 15) Soap & Glory’s advent calendarWorth over £92 when sold separately, the contents of this 24-day, £48 selection have already bowled customers over. One of them, our shopping expert Aidan, says it’s an “absolute steal” – she loved its luxurious sheet masks, delicious-smelling rollerball fragrance, and beautiful bath bombs.
