(For some reviewers, it only took a few days!) Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder to absorb oil and blur pores so effectively that you'll be like, "Oh ... witchcraft??" Might be the only explanation for how this can matte-ify your complexion while still keeping it radiant and glowy ✨. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, lightweight, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes. The Pink Stuff's new "Sqeezy" sponge set, which is living up to its "miracle" catchphrase by helping reviewers with their toughest cleaning projects, like grimy pans, mildewed showers, and marked-up walls.

This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. And Japonesque's Compact Eyelash Curler, aka your secret lash weapon — this ultra-compact version isn't just great for travel, but is designed with a lash pad to make it gentler on real *and* false lashes. The unique pressure of this version also makes it ideal for hard to curl lashes, monolids, and deep set eyes.

A bottle of callus-removing gel so effective at sloughing off dead, hardened skin that one reviewer described it as, "Horrifically satisfying."

Boots expert recommends £29 SPF powder for protecting skin
These SPF products are perfect for makeup fans, according to a Boots beauty expert Keeping skin protected from the sun isn't just for summer holidays - it's essential every single day, helping to prevent premature ageing, dark spots and even skin cancer. Fortunately, there are plenty of SPF-infused products specifically designed for everyday use. According to Boots Beauty Specialist Leanna Zaman, there are some standout formulas that also work seamlessly with foundation, concealer and more. One such favourite is Supergoop's Resetting Powder SPF30 (£29), an innovative brush-on powder that helps to mattify shine while delivering mineral-based SPF. "Powder sunscreens are a great option to prevent your scalp burning and absorb extra oils, whilst sun sticks are great for the lips as they tend to be a waxy format that will stay put for longer," Leanna explains. For a luscious pout, try something like the Bondi Sands Sunny Daze SPF 50 Lip Balm (£7.99), which offers high-level protection in a non-sticky formula. For under makeup, Leanna also recommends Skin + Me Daily Moisturiser with SPF 50 (£21.99). This multi-tasking option hydrates while shielding skin from both UVA and UVB rays - ideal for layering under foundation and concealer without greasiness. Get the look £29 Boots Buy Now on Boots Product Description As an alternative, Rodial's SPF Drops (£75) has also become a regular fixture in my routine. I've been applying it every morning before my moisturiser and primer, knowing I'm getting broad-spectrum UV protection plus added defence against blue light and pollution (a major bonus for any fellow Londoners). However, Leanna warns that users shouldn't rely solely on SPF in cosmetics. "The formulas are often thinner and don't always allow for even coverage, plus you will typically apply less product than you need to protect your skin sufficiently," she notes. With that in mind, Leanne suggests adding Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Daily Sun Lotion (£21) to baskets. This lightweight formula is suitable for sensitive skin and should be applied generously 15 minutes before sun exposure. I also recommend Ritual's The Ritual of Karma Milky Spray SPF (£18.32). This spray is easy to apply, doesn't leave a white cast, and has a refreshing scent, making it a change from the usual slightly sweet sun cream scent. "Always start the day with adequate protection," Leanna says. "Apply a teaspoon-sized amount of broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF30 to your face after your morning skincare routine and allow it to settle for at least 10 minutes. Apply your primer, foundation or other cosmetics on top – but avoid mixing products into your sunscreen as this can reduce the effectiveness." For more prolonged and deliberate sun exposure, such as a picnic at the beach or outdoor sports, Leanna recommends opting for a high SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVB and UVA rays, like Soltan or Sun Bum. "For your makeup, focus on your eyes, brows and lips, but skip the foundation base so you can reapply your sunscreen liberally every two hours and keep your skin protected," she says. "Avoid the midday sun if you can, and always cover up with a hat and sunglasses."
