This cream is the definition of luxe. Considering it’s jam-packed with hyaluronic acid, I was worried this would be too thick for my combination skin, but the gel-like texture seeped in effortlessly and gave my skin an actual plumping effect.

It’s also the best primer for smooth makeup application. Safe to say, I devoured this whole jar in just a few weeks. If you’re looking for a hydrating but non-greasy moisturiser, I can’t rave about this stuff enough.

Azelaic acid is hands-down one of the best ingredients out there if you have rosacea and struggle with redness or breakouts. It has singlehandedly changed my skin, so when Beauty Pie announced they were coming out with an azelaic acid serum, I was buzzing.

This contains 10% of the superstar ingredient, as well as 2% niacinamide and rose fruit extract (to minimise those pores). This serum is lightweight and isn't gritty in texture (a common problem with azelaic acid formulas). It helped soothe my sore skin and my active spots, leaving my skin calmer and less fussy. Azelaic acid isn't the cheapest ingredient out there, so I think for £22 this is an absolute steal.

I cannot stop fangirling over this product. I've even written an entire love letter to the Beauty Pie Superdrops Brightening Niacinamide serum – it's that good.

If you’re short on time, this basically cut my monthly breakouts in half and took my skin to a whole other level when it came to glow. 100/10 from me.

Super Healthy Skin Sheer Tinted Oil-Free SPF20

This tinted moisturiser was always out of stock, so I caught on that there was a lot of hype around it pretty quickly. I’m a full-coverage kinda gal and this didn’t quite provide enough for me.

It is oil-free and definitely wasn't as shiny as previous tinted moisturisers that I’ve tried, which was a good surprise. It also lasted from morning until bedtime, which was impressive for something this sheer. Did I mention it has SPF20, too?

I have super sensitive skin, so I have to be ultra-careful when adding retinol into my routine. This contains a slow-releasing version of the star anti-ageing ingredient, so I was keen to see if this gave me all the benefits, without any of the sensitivity.

I’m pleased to report it lived up to the challenge. I applied just before bed and when I woke up, there was no redness or irritation in sight. My skin definitely looked more glowy, and I was impressed with how well it flattened breakouts after a few uses.

It might not be the best product if you’re an intermediate-level retinol user, but for beginners (like me) this stuff is a great option.

It’s not talked about a lot compared to other ingredients like retinol, but my skin gets very irritated by vitamin C. I know I need the antioxidant in my routine, so it makes things tricky.

I was nervous about this one setting my skin off but it didn’t cause any irritation or redness – almost unheard of for me. In fact, the serum was so lightweight and non-sticky compared to previous vitamin C serums I’ve tried that it exceeded all my expectations.

Not only does it even out skin tone thanks to vitamin C, but it also contains tranexamic acid (an ingredient that's great for reducing post-acne scars, without upsetting sensitive skin'). Together, they make the perfect brightening duo.

Exfoliating my body in the shower was always the type of thing I got around to if I could remember. But this scrub made me want to scoop out the sugary goodness.

It successfully smoothed out the keratosis pilaris (AKA chicken skin) on my arms and my skin was so hydrated afterwards, that I could get away with skipping my body moisturiser if I was short on time. Plus, the scent has me continuously sticking my nose into the tub – it’s lush.

I’ve tried a lot of tinted brow gels and hated them all. They’re always so messy and somehow always too dark, to the point where I look like I’m in the process of getting my eyebrows tinted – not the look we’re going for.

The formula of this was surprisingly dry, but that helped the brush grab every hair and kept mess to a minimum. The bronde-ish shade I went for was the perfect cool-toned colour for my brows and provided me with the perfect undone no-makeup-makeup look.

This comes from the same family as my beloved Triple Hyaluronic Acid Moisturiser and was great at keeping my moisture levels topped up, without making my skin greasy.

The texture for me is the most impressive thing about it, it’s like jelly to apply. If I had to pick between the two though, I’d definitely add the moisturiser to my basket (sorry, serum).

I haven’t met a scent from the brand that I haven’t liked. I’m not going to name names, but this smells identical to more premium fragrance brands I’ve tried and fills the whole room even after the flame has long been blown out. If you’re a member, this will set you back just £20, which is a total bargain in my eyes.

This is going to be a tall drink of water for anyone with dry skin (literally). It's filled to the brim with hyaluronic acid, amino acids and peptides; so it's basically if high-performing skincare and makeup had a baby.

This gave me a 'just been for a facial' finish, leaving my skin looking healthier and with an almost soft-focus effect. It's not overly pigmented – so I did need concealer to go over any spots or pigmentation – but if you're a no-makeup-makeup lover, this is going to be your new BFF.

On the other hand, if you have oily skin, this might be too hydrating (if that's even possible), so I'd go for the Super Healthy Skin Sheer Tinted Oil-Free above instead.

This stuff is fluttery lashes in a tube. Although it wasn’t the darkest mascara I’d ever tried, it provided the perfect Bambi-esque soft volume and definition to my lashes.

When it comes to its waterproof skills, this was essential on a recent holiday I took to Ibiza, where no amount of pool-dipping or sea-splashing seemed to get it to smudge or flake. This stuff is *almost* indestructible.

I hadn’t heard much about the brand’s hair collection, so this was cloaked in mystery for me.

I didn’t know what to expect from its amino acid-packed formula, but it stood up against other strengthening products I’ve tried for my very neglected strands. I didn’t see a massive boost in shininess, but my hair looked thicker and stronger after using it.

I am a huge fan of pimple patches, so these ones had a lot to live up to – but, sadly, they didn’t.

Look, they’re not bad, but they’re just not a showstopper for me. They stayed put during the night but didn’t speed up my breakouts as much as I would have liked (cc my go-to Florence by Mills Spot Stickers for this one).

The packaging also seemed a bit excessive for my liking – for every plastic sachet, you only get four spot stickers inside (16 spot stickers in total = quite a few bits of plastic).

I never thought I'd be a crayon kind of gal, until I met this. It has the texture of butter when it comes to blendability and nourishment but with a pigmented punch.

The nude shades leave pouts with a sheer 'your lips but better' effect and the handy stick format means you can apply them on the go, even if you've left your trusty compact at home.
