Using carbon-black pigments and a smart control gel formula, Avon’s latest mascara is essential when you’re going for thick, voluminous lashes.

5. Bastide Figue D’Ete Body Wash, £9
With a surprisingly high percentage of fragrance, Bastide’s natural body wash keeps skin smelling and feeling fresh all day long with the comforting scent of figs.

9. BECCA Glow Gloss, £18
Packed with ginger, peppermint oil and shea butter, BECCA’s glossy tubes have a cushion-y texture that feels so satisfying to apply.

We like to dab a little onto the cheeks too for a wet-look flush.

10. Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil, £14
Using just a single ingredient – olive-derived squalane oil – this is ideal for anyone that’s sceptical of oils. While it hydrates, it also helps to reduce hyper-pigmentation and boost elasticity with a non-comedogenic formula that absorbs almost instantly. It’s non-greasy texture is a huge bonus when it comes to makeup – there’s no stickiness and your base can be applied straight away.

Stila uses its signature Curl Flex formula in their latest mascara to lift and set lashes for a wide-eye effect.

The deep black colour is a win, too, leaving lashes feeling and looking rich and full.
