Whether you’re stocking up on favourites or fancy trying out cult-status products for the first time, the savings right now are unbeatable.

There are some seriously good brands on offer too including ColorWow, Real Techniques and Elemis.

As a proud beauty addict, I’m constantly trying the latest launches and buying my tried and tested favourites. Which is precisely what we’re doing here.

I have tested everyone of the products below to bring you only the very best that beauty has to offer. Never tried a few of these? Trust me, they’ll take up permanent space in your beauty stash as soon as you do.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30 is a clinically proven anti-wrinkle moisturiser formulated to improve skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration. Enriched with marine and plant actives including padina pavonica, ginkgo biloba, and chlorella, it visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 14 days. The lightweight formula includes broad-spectrum SPF30 to protect against UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent sun damage.

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3

If you’re yet to try the Medik8 range, you’re in for a treat, particularly with its Crystal Retinal 3. Formulated with vitamin A, expect to see an improvement to your skin’s texture, tone and glow. It also contains plenty of hyaluronic acid and glycerin to keep skin moisturised and comforted. I recommend gradually building up to nightly use though as some can experience irritation if used too often.

Kérastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil Refillable

Dry hair? Then make a beeline for this hair oil. It has an incredible texture that softens and hydrates strands, never leaving your hair greasy or weighed down. It’s one of my holy grail products that has stood the test of time since its original launch in 2010 and it’s since been repackaged to look even more chic on your dressing table – what’s not to love?

Beloved by celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, who regularly uses it on the Kardashian sisters, the Dream Coat spray from ColorWow is going straight into my basket this Amazon Prime Day. Normally priced at £27, it can be yours for just £19. Acting as an anti-frizz, humidity shield for hair, I can’t live without this product (especially during this drizzly summer). Keep it on hand for hair wash days and to see the benefits, spritz your hair liberally before drying.
