Multipurpose, Sienna-approved and under £5? Sign us up
When you think of ultra-chic celebs, Sienna Miller is surely one of the first to spring to mind.
Needless to say, we’re always taking inspiration from Sienna Miller’s best beauty looks or any products she confirms she uses in her day-to-day routine. If you’re the same, you’ll be pleased to hear that the star shared some of her best beauty advice and product recommendations, including one particularly purse-friendly pick.
Asked what she thought the greatest drugstore product for under £10 was, she told Who What Wear, “The Dr.PAWPAW lip balm is a great one.” Available in both clear and tinted versions, the affordable buy is priced at less than a fiver, but you can currently pick it up at Amazon for a mere £3.50
Said balm is one of those beauty products that has achieved cult status. So, what makes it so great? Part of its brilliance and appeal is down to the multipurpose formula. Blending pawpaw fruit extract, olive and castor oils and soothing Aloe vera, this isn’t only one of the best lip balms – it can be used on dry cuticles, to smooth flyaways and even groom your brows.
As well as being loved by Sienna, it’s a favourite among the woman&home beauty team, including Digital Beauty Writer Sennen Prickett. ‘"While Dr.PAWPAW’s Original Balm serves as a stellar lip balm, working to deeply hydrate, soothe and restore my dry, chapped lips, I also love how it can be used in a multitude of other ways in my routine, too,” she says.
“Similar to Sienna Miller’s other favourite, Eight Hour Cream, I’ve also used this formula to tame stray hairs, nourish my cuticles and moisturise dry heels. Considering its affordable price tag, I think it’s a no-brainer to invest in one of these little yellow tubes – a true handbag essential."

When asked to choose one beauty product to use for the rest of her life, this classic was Sienna's pick. "It’s going to have to be lip balm, because could you imagine needing it and not having it? I think the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream is iconic and just always works," she said.
RRP: £54
It makes total sense that this beauty icon is also in Sienna's arsenal. "It's an amazing product. It's so good! It smells so good – it smells elegant and fresh," she said in a video for Charlotte's YouTube channel. "[It's] a big drink for the skin [and] it's the best prep for underneath makeup."
RRP: £172
The actor also confirmed she has a few fragrances on rotation during the same interview, including this iconic scent – no wonder it's Sienna Miller's Le Labo perfume of choice. It blends notes of fig, bergamot and bay leaves to a sophisticated finish.
