I Swear By This Cult Cleanser, But Its Newest Summer Upgrade Is Even Better
Packed with the same hydrating and soothing magic that the Elemis Pro-Collagen range is famed for, the new refreshing toning mist promises to be the ultimate summer skin fix. As someone who suffers from dehydrated skin, a plumping, collagen-boosting mist is exactly what I'm in the market for. So when the new Elemis mist landed on my desk, promising to instantly refine any texture and add tonnes of moisture, I was naturally intrigued.
I've been testing it out for a week now, and trust me when I say, with just the first few spritzes, I was hooked. It delivers an instant hit of hydration, a subtle glow, and that fresh-out-the-facial feeling. An absolute godsend in the middle of this unbearable heatwave? It cools my skin and calms my mood. It's versatile enough to use morning, night, or whenever your skin needs a little extra boost. Perfect for prepping skin before your serum, setting make-up with a dewy finish, or simply reviving a tired complexion throughout the day, it's the kind of product that's always in my handbag. Having used it for a week, I've noticed that continued use gently refines texture thanks to subtle exfoliating ingredients, making it more than just a mist. It's truly just skincare with staying power. 1.

Bride Or Bridesmaid? You'll Want To See These Beauty Boxes Before They Sell Out
Planning a wedding is undeniably stressful- I should know. Having had my own big day two years ago, I'm only just recovering from the ordeal. The endless admin, the virtuous commitment to healthy eating (honestly, I just wanted a burger), and, of course, the ever-climbing cost of it all - it's overwhelming. That said, one aspect I genuinely enjoyed was curating my bridal beauty routine - being a beauty journalist certainly helped. I had the joy of swatching and sampling my way through the Grazia beauty cupboard, testing and trialling products to my heart's content. In the end, I landed on a few bridal non-negotiables. Westman Atelier's Blush Stick and the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder both worked wonders to deliver a soft glow to my complexion. I also swore by Bobbi Brown's shadow sticks for a soft, diffused eye and Laura Mercier's mascara for a touch of sooty definition. So, imagine my delight when I saw a bridal beauty edit featuring four of my go-to products. A quick scan through the rest of the selection revealed even more essentials - from a designer perfume and hydrating eye patches to radiance-boosting skincare and hair styling sprays- it's a box I simply can't get enough of. If only it had been around when I was a bride-to-be. Scroll on for the full lowdown... 1.

Whether you're a bridesmaid on the hunt for the perfect gift for your bride, or a bride looking to treat your bridal party, these beauty kits are a one-stop shop for all things wedding-day glam. Each edit has been expertly curated, with thoughtful attention to every detail. Expect an illuminating powder from Hourglass to ensure a lit-from-within glow on the big day. There's also the dreamiest wedding-day nail polish from Manucurist- we're talking that universally flattering rose-toned pink. Of course, there's also no denying the brilliant value for money. The Selfridges The Big Day Beauty Kit is worth an impressive £232, but retails for just £85. Meanwhile, the Selfridges Wedding Party Beauty Kit comes in at £191 in value, yet costs only £55. That's serious savings for some of the most gold-standard names in beauty. So, forget the flowers, the fizz and the wedding breakfast for a mere moment- if there's one thing that deserves a spot on your wedding day essentials list, it's one of these kits. Consider it your bridal beauty non-negotiable.' Rachael Martin is Grazia's Beauty Director.

This Affordable Make-Up Edit Is Basically A Starter Pack Of Viral Beauty Staples
I don't know about you, but there's something about summer that has me looking at my make-up bag with fresh intent. Perhaps it's the lighter evenings, the allure of booking a beach holiday or a packed social calendar, but I always find myself ready for a change at this time of year. I bid farewell to rich moisturisers and full-coverage foundations and welcome in bronzed, dewy textures that allow my skin to breathe and give me that 'just hopped off the plane' glow. I'm not talking about a full overhaul - all it takes is a couple of the right products to make your everyday make-up feel refreshed. And as luck would have it, I stumbled across a kit that will let you test out a selection of beauty obsessive-approved products guaranteed to switch up your routine, without costing you a small fortune in the process. Space NK's new Everyday Makeup Edit is full of products that have first achieved viral status, and have then gone on to become firm favourites. You'll find the cult-followed Glossier Cloud Paint blush (which made our best cream blush list) in the shade Beam for the perfect sun-kissed flush, Rare Beauty's Lifting Brow Gel for that fluffy, lifted brow, and Kosas' perfect nude Lip Liner in shade Epic for hydrated and defined lips. Paired with the perfect travel-sized Beauty Blender Cheeky Sponge and a noughties-inspired, limited edition jelly make-up bag, these gorgeous, summer-ready products will add that touch of radiance we're all craving, giving your everyday look a new, glowier and brighter lease of life. 1.

Beauty box containing £130 worth of products includes 'youthful glow' £97 face cream
LOOKFANTASTIC regularly releases seasonal beauty boxes containing a plethora of make-up, haircare and skin care products. It's a chance for beauty fans to restock their favourite products, as well as discover some new ones along the way. The brand's July edition has been described by shoppers as the best 'so far', and has more than 10,000 reviews. The bumper July Beauty Box has a contents worth more than £130, with prices from £13. It is brimming with popular brands, such as CeraVe, Philip Kingsley, This Works and Avant - the latter product alone is worth £97. The box can also be purchased as a one-off treat for £15, or users have the option to pay monthly and get a new box every four weeks for £13 (based on a rolling subscription model, lasting 12 months). The July box contains six stunning products ranging from full-size to deluxe. There are two full-size products and four travel-sized pieces. What sets this box apart, however, is that the products come neatly stored in a cream-coloured drawstring bag branded with LOOKFANTASTIC in black lettering, reports the Mirror. With the bag included, the LOOKFANTASTIC box competes in cost (and contents) with Boots' Minis Bag Get Holiday Ready, priced at £32, worth £124.50. The summer-edition bag contains seven beauty products. Shoppers can expect goodies from brands such as Bobbi Brown, Laneige, MAC, Sol De Janiero, and more. Alternatively, those seeking something a bit larger - both in terms of product number and bag dimensions - can opt for Glossybox's Summer Bag Limited Edition, valued at more than £142. It includes brands like Frank Body, ICONIC London, Sol De Janeiro, Medik8 and more. Priced at £45, it comes with a blue and white tote bag. The LOOKFANTASTIC box, at £15 for one-off buyers, features products that target every inch of the body, from its sculpting Gua Sha to its Frizz Fighting Gloss to the Cleavage and Neck Serum and shower gel. One of the full-sized products, the Avant Skincare Pro-Intense Hyaluronic Acid Illuminating Day Cream, usually retails at a costly £97, but customers can snap it up for £15. The 'award-winning Age Radiance moisturiser' is formulated to 'intensify the illumination of your skin'. Targeting fine lines, hydrating skin, and reversing the signs of ageing, 97% of users agree their skin 'looks and feels smoother after use'. The day cream also promises to combat uneven skin tone and encourage a 'youthful glow'. July's Beauty Box has more than 7,000 five-star customer reviews. One person said: "Pro-Intense Hyaluronic Acid Illuminating Day Cream, I got it in my LOOKFANTASTIC box, this cream is absolutely amazing. I can't be without it. My skin feels so much better. I love that I've had it for about three weeks, my skin looks glowing. Everyone keeps asking me what am I using on my skin. Fabulous cream." Another purchaser commented: "Love, love, love this! The neck serum just what I needed! The Molten Brown smells amazing and the cleanser and moisturizer are amazing wow can't wait for the next box!" A third customer shared: "This has been my favourite box so far. The pouch is a bonus too! Love having little bits to try." However, some customers expressed disappointment over the repetition of products from previous boxes. One person noted: "Sadly, a lot of these products are repeats from previous months, so I've already got them. The bag was a lovely touch though." Yet another reviewer wrote: "This has got to be my favourite box yet. Lots of lovely products and the moisturiser is a dream." You can sign up for the LOOKFANTASTIC box here.
