  • BlushMilk Makeup Lip & Cheek Blur

    Milk Makeup

    Lip & Cheek Blur

    Published price: £24

    Not for her own cheeks, but she says it’s made for anyone with naturally oily skin who has struggled to make cream blush last. The mauvey-brown shade blends out softly with fingers or a brush.

  • BlushJones Road Blushing Sticks

    Jones Road

    Blushing Sticks

    Published price: £30

    Feels and looks almost identical to Merit’s hugely popular Flush Blush creams, with very different, very wearable shades. She singles out Bare, a rose that gives a flush of good health on any skin tone.

  • BlushKosas Impressionist Multisticks

    Kosas

    Impressionist Multisticks

    Published price: £32

    Glassy, shiny colour that will probably need topping up in the afternoon, but the shades are exceptionally well chosen and hard to find elsewhere. Nuance and Intuition won her over.

  • BlushBobbi Brown Skin Enhancer Multi-Stick

    Bobbi Brown

    Skin Enhancer Multi-Stick

    Published price: £29

    Her most-worn of the lot, in the shade Beach, a warm toasty brown she likens to slightly sunburnt skin. The moisturising formula won’t disturb the foundation or powder underneath.

  • Eye careNeuraé Harmonie The Eye Contour

    Neuraé

    Harmonie The Eye Contour

    Her case for dropping the eye cream: 2026, she says, is all about the eye serum, and this one is about as effective as they come.

    via Grazia’s October beauty roundup · 30 October 2026

  • SPFPoco Beauty Universal Glow Treatment Skin Perfector SPF30 PA+++

    Poco Beauty

    Universal Glow Treatment Skin Perfector SPF30 PA+++

    From the Irish brand that has just landed in Selfridges to what she calls much-deserved fanfare: a glow treatment and skin perfector with SPF30.

    via Grazia’s October beauty roundup · 30 October 2026

  • CleanserSoftie Baby No Rinse Cleansing Cream

    Softie

    Baby No Rinse Cleansing Cream

    Her pick for delicate baby skin, designed by mum of two Ciara Costello with fewer, well-chosen natural ingredients. It cleans the nappy area, face and hands without water.

    via Grazia’s October beauty roundup · 30 October 2026

  • PerfumeJo Malone London Vanilla & Scotch Cologne

    Jo Malone London

    Vanilla & Scotch Cologne

    On her Christmas wishlist. Scotch hits first but reads sophisticated and sensual rather than boozy, then comes an elegant vanilla and a warmth of tonka bean and golden amber.

    via Grazia fragrance wishlist · 30 October 2026

  • BlushViolette_Fr Bisou Blush

    Violette_Fr

    Bisou Blush

    The blush behind the famous French-girl flush, back in stock. She says it gives a sheen that looks like it comes from within, in Aissa, swirls of berry and candy pink that mimic a natural flush.

    via Grazia blush feature · 26 October 2026

  • Hair toolsDyson AirSmooth Styling Brush

    Dyson

    AirSmooth Styling Brush

  • CandlesDiptyque Paris The Citrouille (Pumpkin) Classic Candle

    Diptyque Paris

    The Citrouille (Pumpkin) Classic Candle

    Published price: £63

    A refined, unexpected take on pumpkin that skips the usual spiced-latte sweetness. Autumnal without being predictable, and in her words possibly the chicest nod to spooky season.

    via The Beauty Digest · 17 October 2026

  • Lip careDr.Reju-All Advanced PDRN Rejuvenating Lip Serum

    Dr.Reju-All

    Advanced PDRN Rejuvenating Lip Serum

    via The Beauty Digest · 17 October 2026

    Liberty LBTY. Fragrance

    Orchard Refillable Travel Atomiser

    Published price: £40

    via The Beauty Digest · 17 October 2026

    Jones Road

    Wide Awake Brightening Concealer & Neutralizer

    Bobbi Brown’s 2.0 take on her 90s concealer-and-corrector duo, and she thinks it beats the original: more substantial, more coverage, yet lighter on the skin and still remarkably skin-like.

    via The Beauty Digest · 17 October 2026

  • SerumLa Roche-Posay Mela B3 Double Dose

    La Roche-Posay

    Mela B3 Double Dose

    Published price: £38

    Targets sunspots and ageing marks with Melasyl and Proxylane for firmer-looking skin. A welcome evolution of the Mela B3 range, and under £50 it’s more accessible than many luxury serums making similar promises.

  • BronzerHaus Labs Sun Dipped Bronzing Veil

    Haus Labs

    Sun Dipped Bronzing Veil
