Celebrity and pop-star released fragrances are usually celebrated around the time of their release, or when a star's music is in the charts.
Ariana Grande, as well as releasing many chart toppers, has released several fragrances, some of which have been in a popular demand, and Cloud, that came out in 2018 is still very viral and in demand in 2023.
Cloud blends notes of lavender, bergamot, praline, coconut, musk and woods for a fruity-floral gourmand scent unlike any other "celebrity" perfume. Cloud has even been compared to Baccarat Rouge 540 which is a much more expensive, higher end perfume.
Cloud, at around £44-£47 for 100ml boasts a blue tinted glass bottle that sits in it's own cloud shaped holder. I recently got 100ml EDP and this smells amazing, as far as gourmand scents go I would say this is as exciting and as mouth watering as Angel by Mugler. Well done to Ariana Grande for a genius fragrance composition!

Garnier's 'Superfood' range of products for the body's skin and hair are all about using naturally derived ingredients in formulas and Garnier's Body Superfood creams are one of the best body moisturisers on the market. I discovered Body Superfoods last year when I started to pay more attention to investing in products for the body not just for the face. Before, like a lot of people, I was guilty of spending a small fortune on products for my face, and not spending on anything for my body, but body skincare is just as important as face skincare.
The 48 Hour Hydra Sensitive Balm version of Body Superfood by Garnier is a probiotic and Oat Milk formula that's free of fragrance and has been made with sensitive skin in mind. The natural approach and sensitive skin formula make this Body Superfood suitable for all the family, from older people, to adults, to children.

I'll always go back to widely available classics when it comes to shower and bath products, and Dove's Pomegranate and Hibiscus Body Wash is a classic for many good reasons. The Pomegranate and Hibiscus scent is beautiful and makes having a bath or shower feel like a spa appointment, and there's the added pampering of Dove's kind to skin, super gentle formula that's suitable for sensitive skin types and people of all ages. Dove's body washes are SLS and soap free, instead they use a blend of gentle cleansers. I just love the feel of this body wash on my skin and I know my skin is being gently cleansed and cared for with Dove's micromoisture and moisturising serum formula. 10/10 Dove for bringing out some of the best bath and body products around. -

Garnier have been one of the leading brands to deliver some of the best self-tan and Summer Body products for a few years now, so imagine the delight at discovering the new Ambre Solaire Self Tan Face Drops.

Taking care of the skin on your body is just as essential as taking care of the skin on your face, and Garnier have bought all the best skincare ingredients to their range of Body Superfood creams, the latest being a formula of Vitamin C and Mango to nourish and brighten dry, dull skin.
The hydration from Body Superfood Creams is amazing they hydrate up to 10 layers deep for long lasting skin smoothness for 48 hours and the ingredients in Body Superfood are from 97% natural origins.
Garnier are a brand I go back to for skin and hair care as their products are widely available, a drugstore price point and I am always blown away by the results from their Body SUperfood range, these creams moisturise my skin better than a some higher end creams.

There's plenty of hype around lip oils recently and they are glossy heroes that work to care for and hydrate your lips all day whilst giving good glaze. I'm constantly seeing Dior's lip oils on my feed, they retail at a whopping £30-£34 though... +
There's plenty of hype around lip oils recently and they are glossy heroes that work to care for and hydrate your lips all day whilst giving good glaze. I'm constantly seeing Dior's lip oils on my feed, they retail at a whopping £30-£34 though, which is a bit steep for a lip product!
There are a lot of drugstore and mid range dupes on the market, most of which have the same ingredients and formula as Dior's version.
NYX Cosmetics Fat Oil Lip Drip's applicator's shape, is identical to Dior's applicator, which is one of the things that makes it a convincing dupe for the higher end product. I'm totally in love with Fat Oil's non-sticky, lightweight texture and formula enriched with caring ingredients. The shades range from clear, to brown toned nude, to pink, plum and deep tones too, so there is a Fat Oil Lip Drip for every lip colour preference. An amplified high gloss look is delivered plus the ultimate moisture surge for lips. I can see why Fat Oil Lip Drip is TikTok viral and I'm also in love with the neon, pop-culture inspired packaging!

There are a plethora of glosses, balms and lip oils that claim to plump up the pout, and the ones that actually yield a result, are the ones you feel a slight tingle with, the ones you can genuinely feel are delivering on their promise. Many of Essence's products are under £5, and are available at many locations across Europe and at Wilko in the UK. Essence's What The Fake! Lip Plumper comes in a sheer shimmer, a nude pinky hue and a watermelon pinky red shade and all of them deliver on the fuller looking pout promise with 97% of users saying they saw a plumper, smoother result after first use, 90% of people said their lips felt much softer and 88% hailed it as a miracle, plumping gloss. What The Fake has a similar effect and similar results to Too Faced original Lip Injection Gloss which is pricier. -

Avene are one of the maestros of French skincare and one of the brands that have harnessed the healing powers of eau thermale - Thermal Water in products suitable for the whole family's skin needs. Cicalfate, the name could be a nod to the skincare powerhouse Cica, that is a tiger grass derivative that heals sensitivity, redness and irritation in hours, has been hailed as a multi-tasking superhero that is capable of healing sensitive areas in hours. Cicalfate has been compared to La Mer which is £100+ a pot, but Cicalfate is £7 and has the same, if not more benefits. Cicalfate can be used for chapped hands, chapped lips / peri-oral area, for dry elbows and knees, on breakouts of acne or eczema and for babies / young children with the nappy area / nappy rash, it's like 8 Hour Cream, only more family focused. -

The Inkey List have always taken the jargon out of skincare and simplified what ingredients do whilst at the same time provided the cutting edge, latest in beauty technologies and made these accessible to all walks of life.

The natural peat in this gentle cleanser is said to be rich in Fulvic Acid.
