Rainy days got you down? Treat yourself and brighten up your days (and complexion!) with these five fab beauty products!

It’s deadline season, and if you’re anything like me you’re having non-stop stress break-outs and collapsing into bed each night forgetting to remove your mascara. Why not treat yourself to a pamper sesh between your lectures and library visits with these five fabulous new beauty products people can’t stop raving about?

 

1) Clinique iD Dramatically Different Moisturising BB-gel

Clinique iD moisturisers were a big hit in the beauty world last year, and they recently added a BB-gel base to the collection. This is a multifunctional beauty must-have, that moisturises whilst delivering a sheer coat of colour that boosts and brightens skin. Suitable for all skin-tones, this gel delivers a light, subtle tint that revitalises any complexion.

Pair with any one of eight cartridges (or five if you’re buying in-store) to treat your skincare pet peeve, from pore minimisation to combatting fatigue – I opted for the irritation cartridge to soothe my sensitive skin. You can use it as a moisturiser or a primer, and it’s great for brightening up dull winter complexions.

Buy direct from Clinique online and you can access all eight cartridge options and get a 10% student discount!

 

2) Benefit Georgia Blush

This popular blush has made a welcome return in 2020, combining a georgious peachy shade with a soft golden shimmer to give dull, tired skin a sun-kissed boost! Like all Benefit blushers, Georgia uses an ultra-fine formula to avoid uneven textures and ensure smooth application.

It’s attracted tons of golden reviews (pun intended!) and is sure to be a big hit this spring/summer. My personal favourite thing about Benefit blushers? They all come with their own mini brush and mirror, so you can pop it in your bag and top up throughout the day.

3) OUAI Chill Pills

Deadlines got you down? In need of some relaxation? These luxurious bath bombs are packed full of goodness to upgrade your bath time. Hydrating Jojoba oil soothes, safflower seed oil creates a healthy glow, and hemp seed oil calms stressed skin. The jasmine rose scent will whisk you away as you take some well-deserved me time between library runs.

4) Ren Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser

This all-natural cleanser starts of as a jelly, transforms into a sumptuous oil, and ends as a soothing milk. Packed full of grapeseed, sunflower seed, and meadowfoam seed oils, it removes impurities to restore and replenish skin, with added glycerin to prevent moisture loss. It also smells incredible!

5) Bobbi Brown Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss

This gloss hydrates and plumps whilst providing a dose of colour to dull, dry lips. The unique blend of oils creates a glass-like finish that’s cushioning without being sticky. Available in 12 different shades, there’s a colour to suit any occasion and complexion, from the rich nude ‘Force of Nature’, to the bold coral ‘Wild Card’, and the intense berry ‘After Party’.

So soothe yourself in an oil-infused bath, and brighten your skin with a new cleanser, base, blush, and gloss. Banish the deadline blues and get your glow on!
