A small curation of beauty bits for the new season – easy updates, affordable staples, and well deserved treats. Everything here is under £30, because feeling a bit more like yourself shouldn’t have to come with a big spend attached.

Patchology Serve Chilled Cool Crush Hydrogel Mask, £12, Cult Beauty

A cooling hydrogel mask that helps de-puff, hydrate and refresh tired-looking skin in minutes. It’s designed to give an instant 'brighter, more awake' look, without any effort.

Nude lipstick with cap removed, revealing peachy shade. Beige packaging with "Maybelline New York" text. White background.

Maybelline Maybe It’s Serum Bullet Lipstick, £8.99, Boots

A comfortable, hydrating lipstick that feels more like a tinted balm than a traditional lipstick. It glides on easily, gives a soft wash of colour, and doesn’t require much precision or effort to look put together.

White and black bottle of "Exosome Hydro-Glow Complex" by The Inkey List. Text highlighted in black background. Minimalist design.

The Inkey List Exosome Hydro-Glow Complex, £20, Boots

A lightweight glow serum designed to brighten, smooth and hydrate in one step. It sits somewhere between skincare and treatment, giving a more radiant, even finish without feeling heavy or sticky.

Color Wow Speed Dry Blow-Dry Spray, £22, M&S

A proper ‘why didn’t I have this sooner’ hair product. This spray is designed to cut down blow-dry time by speeding up how quickly hair dries, meaning less time under heat and less effort in the morning or before heading out.

You spray it through damp hair before blow-drying and it helps water evaporate faster while still keeping the hair smooth and protected. The result is a noticeably quicker blow-dry without having to change your routine.

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice & B5 SPF50+, £16, Boots

A lightweight SPF50+ that feels like skincare rather than sunscreen. It’s hydrating, sits well under makeup, and doesn’t leave a white cast or greasy finish.

L'Oréal Paris Paradise Lumi Glotion, £11.99, Look Fantastic

A glow-enhancing skin tint that gives instant radiance with minimal effort. It can be worn alone, mixed into moisturiser or used under foundation to add a soft, healthy-looking glow to the skin.

Clear bottle of Biodance Collagen Cleansing Oil with pump. Pink liquid, text includes "Pore Perfecting, Deep Cleansing," on white background.

Biodance Collagen Cleansing Oil, £16, Boots

A lightweight cleansing oil that melts away makeup, SPF and daily buildup without needing harsh rubbing or multiple steps. You massage it onto dry skin, add water, and it turns into a milky texture that rinses off easily.

Rhode Peptide Lip Boost Plumping Lip Mask, £23, Sephora

A thick, nourishing lip mask that’s designed to hydrate and smooth while giving a soft plumping effect, leaving lips looking fuller and more conditioned over time.

A brilliant low effort product, you apply it like a balm and it does the work in the background, whether you’re at home, getting ready, or heading out.

Morphe Cheek Thrills Multi-Finish Face Trio, £19, Sephora

A multi-use cheek product that combines cream, balm and powder in one compact. It’s designed so you can build colour and finish in seconds without needing multiple products or brushes.

One compact, minimal steps, done in under a minute.

Pink BYOMA container for Bio-Collagen Radiance Facial Mask. Text highlights ingredients and benefits: Tri-Ceramide, Bio-Collagen. 60ml.

BYOMA Bio-Collagen Radiance Facial Mask, £16.99, Boots
