essence Ticket to Paradise Shimmer Powder

As the evenings get longer, products that can revive work make-up are an absolute life-saver. essence Ticket to Paradise Shimmer Powder does exactly that, giving you a subtle gleen without looking too bronzed. The shimmer is super fine and leaves just a hint of glow, with not a speck of glitter in sight. The packaging also screams summer with palm trees and hibiscus flowers etched into the pallet - hello summer. - Nat

essie

A little excited with essie being added to beautydirectory, I painted my nails straight away with their fabulous light grey ‘maxmimillian strasse-her’ shade. I love it! The polish glides on smoothly and I only needed to apply two coats for it to look like a professional salon manicure. The whole range of colours are beautiful, and the salon-grade nail polishes are DBP, formaldehyde and toluene-free. Pretty nails for me! - Maddie

MeMeMe Boho Balm Cheek & Lip Tint

There’s nothing better than a two-in-one product, especially this one. When the weekend rolls around, the make-up I wear is halved and having a two in one product means that I carry around even less make-up in my bag. This lip and cheek tint is a small pot of two colours for the cheeks and lips. There's a bright coral shade for the day and a more subtle nude shade for the evening. The formula glides on really smoothly to both the lips and skin and the colour can be built up so it's as bright and bold as desired. - Liz
