We Shop The Best Beauty Products For A Living, And These 7 Truly Wowed Us

Trying some beauty productsWe 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’ll level with you: writing about the creme de la creme of the beauty world is a pretty great gig. We get to find out about the best haircare, skin products, and makeup around, and even have the chance to try some of it ourselves. The one downside, as anyone who’s accidentally consented to maketing emails will know, is that the products are endless. It can be hard to feel all that pumped up about the 4000th supposed skin saviour of the day. Which means when we get excited by a product we’ve tried or heard about, you can be pretty sure it’s a fantastic idea. Here are seven examples we’ve been truly wowed by this month: 1) DermaticaWhen Natasha tried the personalised skincare programme, she was impressed by how in-depth its virtual consultation was. She wanted some glow-enhancing, anti-ageing items, and was sent a selection that left her skin “brighter, tighter and the smoothest it’s ever been.” And in case you needed any more convincing, new customers can get 50% off their first three months with the code HUFFPOST (usually £24.99 a month). 2) Nimbi dermaplanersSure, you might have already heard of the little razors that clear your peach fuzz, make applying cosmetics a little easier, and could even help to reduce the appearance of pigmentation over time. But these viral Nimbi ones really are different. Not only are they completely compostable (the PETA-approved vegan products will degrade in 308 days), but they have a double-guarded edge that means you won’t get nicked. A whopping 97% of users say Nimbi dermaplaners make their skin smoother, too (no wonder they keep selling out...)3) Hair + MeToo often, hair thinning and hair loss are presented as older-male-only concerns. But that’s so far from the truth – 42% of people aged between 25-49 (regardless of gender) say they want to slow their rate of both down. So it’s great to see Hair + Me recognise that. It’ll customise the exact formula you need to address your specific concerns, taking things like gender and hair type into account.If you use the code HUFFPOSTHM, you’ll only pay £14.99 a month for your first three months, too (that’s a healthy 55% off).4) Soap & Glory’s 2025 Advent CalendarIt’s not that beauty guru Aidan is unaware we’re in October. It’s just that she’s that dedicated to finding out whether those iconic advent calendars are really worth it (not all heroes wear capes, but this one does do sheet masks).The contents of this gorgeous 24-day Advent calendar are worth £92, but the beautifully-packaged selection won’t even set you back £50. That, our experienced sampler said, makes this “an absolute steal.”5) Rom&nd’s Juicy Lasting TintWhy-oh-why is it so hard to find a lip tint that’s glossy without being sticky, and pigmented without looking harsh and unforgiving?Well, if you ask Aidan, it’s not. This K-beauty staple offers the best of both worlds – she’s been loyal to its Dark Coconut shade for over a year.6) Amorecco’s lickable perfume (yes, really) Ever smell something good enough to eat? Well, you can’t quite do that with this vanilla and toasted coconut-scented Late Night Gelato option, but you can taste it with the tip of your tongue. The lickable perfume, Aidan says, “has become my secret bedroom weapon”.7) Eyeko’s Black Magic Liquid EyelinerAidan’s skin runs a little on the oily side, which makes finding a pigmented, smooth eyeliner that truly lasts a little trickier. With that said, she was pretty convinced by Eyeko’s jet-black, easy-apply Black Magic liner. And once it stayed on after a full night of dancing at her friend’s wedding, she became a true convert.Related...Struggling With Hair Loss Or Thinning? We've Found The Solution...
