In your glow up era? Bag the products that our team can’t live without…
From hair gel to fixing spray, if you’re looking for top tier beauty recommendations, you’re in the right place. We asked some of the UNiDAYS team to share what their beauty favourites are, there’s no gatekeeping here!
Haircare
Hannah, Social Content Lead
Eco Styler Olive Oil Styling Gel, available via ASOS
“If I'm wanting to slick back my hair for weights and kickboxing training or it's getting a little too close to hair wash day... this gel is an absolute saviour for creating the best slick-back look. Its lightweight (and not crispy) formula makes it perfect for the look I want to achieve, alongside using a bristle brush, you can't go wrong!”
Fiona, Campaign Delivery Coordinator
Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-in Treatment Bond Repair Bundle, available via LOOKFANTASTIC
“They literally last me anywhere between 5-6 months, so they work out to be a lot more affordable and better for my hair than high street shampoos. I have bleached hair and it's been amazing at keeping my hair healthy and shiny with my hairdresser saying my hair is always in great shape.”
Eden, B2B Creative Lead
Blowout Babe Thermal Brush by amika
“I've been on a quest to nail that iconic '90s blowout, and let me tell you, this hot brush is the ultimate game-changer. Forget about juggling a blow dryer and brush (who has time for that?). Just glide this magic wand through dry hair for the perfect bouncy, shiny locks. It's an absolute essential for anyone rocking layers and curtain bangs!”
Beauty
Ese, Social and Community Assistant
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray by Charlotte Tilbury
“I absolutely loveeee this setting spray! I use it in between my makeup steps and it keeps my makeup looking dewy and fresh. Tip: pair this setting spray with Charlotte tilbury’s airbrush flawless finish powder and you’ll never look back!”
Ronan, Creative Copywriter
Rimmel Wonder'full 24HR Brow Mascara, available via ASOS
“Spent ageeees trying to find a clear brow gel that didn't smell terrible and also didn't leave little clumps in the hair, and this one is by far my fave. Keeps my brows in place all day and you can't tell I'm wearing anything. Win-win.”
Drew, Campaign Delivery Executive
Made By Mitchell Blursh, available via Beauty Bay
“I am OBSESSED with the Made by Mitchell Blursh, and yes! Its B-L-U-R-S-H. It is literally the key to my heart! A little goes a long way with this product due to its high pigment, which we love to see and it has an amazing shade range, so you're bound to find a shade you love no matter your complexion. Blursh is multipurpose, so no need to only use it as blush, you can also use it as liquid lipstick, eyshadow and more! My go-to shade is Posey Rosey & Sweet Cheeks.”
Skincare
Min, Campaign Delivery Executive
Weleda Skin Food, available via Sephora
“One for my dry-combination skin girlies—the ultimate moisturising food your skin needs, leaving your face feeling softer than a baby's skin. This has changed the game for me, especially during colder months when my skin feels extra dry. I like to apply a pea-sized amount of this after my SPF has absorbed into my skin a bit and then after this has sat on my skin for a few minutes I do my makeup. My base always comes out looking 10/10 and no more dry patches making my makeup all crusty... because who wants that? Not me!”
Ibrahim, SEO Lead
CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser with Salicylic Acid, available via ASOS
“This came highly recommended, it has great ingredients for such a good price. It cleanses your total skin barrier, is refreshing and smooth and you can feel a difference immediately!”
Katie, CRM Strategy Lead
Soy pH-Balanced Hydrating Face Wash by Fresh Cosmetics
“Can't stop, won't stop. I've tried many cleansers and I've found the one for me! I have combination skin which can also be sensitive. The Fresh Cosmetics Soy Cleanser is delicate, not overly perfumed and my skin feels like normal skin after using it not stripped and dry, I'm committed to the biggest bottle they do. I notice the difference pretty quickly if I switch to an alternative, and revert straight back.”
