Our beauty team loves these 9 products so much that we'd buy them 100 times over
From a volume-boosting shampoo to a perfume that lasts all night long with just one spritz...
If we had to come up with a ballpark figure, we'd probably say our team has tried and tested thousands of beauty buys – it is quite literally our job to do so. Now, that's not a humble brag, but rather to explain how well-versed we are in spotting a good formula that's worth investing in.
All of this is to say there's just a handful of products that we adore so much that we can't help but keep coming back to them, from one of the best fake tans for pale skin to the best shampoos for fine hair. In fact, our love for these buys runs so deep that we would buy them a hundred times over – if only our bank accounts and storage space would allow.
So, it's about time we share these standout, editor-approved products with you. Think an iconic hairspray that launched over 60 years ago, one of the best cleansers for a gentle wash, and a creamy foundation stick – plus, much more...
Fiona's most repurchased beauty buys
For woman&home Beauty Editor Fiona McKim, her shopping basket will always make home to an instant tan that blurs and boosts radiance, a cult classic hairspray, and a healing lip saviour that's a must-have throughout winter.
Why Fiona loves it: "One of the only products I consider myself genuinely dependent on. If you see me with my legs or upper arms out, just know that I’ve definitely got this flattering, glow-boosting, vein- and mottle-covering magic on."
Why Fiona loves it: "This hairspray’s combination of flexibility and hold is completely unbeatable. I have about three in my house, one at my parents’ and a mini apiece in my gym and holiday toiletry bags."
Why Fiona loves it: "I get through several of these little creams every winter. The skincare-like formula heals dry, cracked lips so much more effectively than superficial waxy balms - just remember it has a slightly white finish."
Naomi's most repurchased beauty buys
If we had to pick three beauty buys that sum up our Beauty Writer, Naomi Jamieson, it would be the following: Merit Beauty's creamy complexion stick, a volume-boosting shampoo for fuller-looking strands, and one of the best Diptyque perfumes.
Why Naomi loves it: "It blends into the skin like butter and offers the perfect amount of coverage. It's versatile, buildable, and actually lasts all day - I never experience cakiness or pilling, and it leaves my complexion looking so even and hydrated.'
Why Naomi loves it: "It leaves my hair feeling incredibly clean, shiny and soft, but not in the least bit flat. It makes my strands look and feel fuller without weighing it down or depositing any kind of film or residue."
Why Naomi loves it: "It's the scent for every season and occasion; it smells cool and fresh but also simultaneously musky and woody. If I could only wear one perfume for the rest of my life, it would be this."
Sennen's most repurchased beauty buys
If you spoke to our Beauty Writer, Sennen Prickett, there's a trio of products that will most likely crop up in the conversation, from her all-time favourite gentle cleanser to a long-lasting lip stain and a musky perfume that you'll smell from noon to night.
Why Sennen loves it: "This cleanser is incredibly gentle, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin, like me. It effectively washing away dirt, makeup and grime, without stripping the skin of its essential moisture."
Why Sennen loves it: "This long-lasting scent is my most complimented perfume of all time. Its musky blend makes it a sexy and sensual choice, with just one spritz lasting you from morning to night."
Why Sennen loves it: "I've always struggled to find a lip liner that stands the test of time throughout the day, until I found this one. The felt-tip applicator glides on, imparting colour that lasts throughout the day – without any top-ups required."
