Our head of beauty, Zoe, has been gushing about Kérastase's Anti-Dandruff Hair Treatment on yet another day of sales.
According to Zoe: "As a beauty journalist, I am frequently asked if there is a product that I would suggest above all others. For haircare, I have a clear shortlist of winners, but for makeup, I always have trouble identifying purchases that are superior to the others. Kérastase Symbiose Micro-Peeling Cellulair is the top product.
Because of Amazon's Spring Deal Days offer, you can grab a bottle for £25.30 instead of the usual full price of £35.50. Although I would gladly pay full price for it, the biggest discount I've seen is £10, so I'll absolutely be stockpiling.
To help prevent flakes, the Micro-Exfoliating Cellular Treatment provides a thorough yet mild cleansing. Salicylic acid and natural exfoliants are used as a pre-shampoo treatment to remove product buildup and dead skin, laying the groundwork for a healthy scalp. This solution is an excellent choice for people like myself who have sensitivity and dandruff because it purifies without irritating the skin, unlike stronger scrubs.
When I was younger, I had breakouts, therefore I had a hard time finding a fake tan that doesn't leave spots or stick to your face permanently. Fortunately, when I learned about St Tropez's Self Tan Purity Face Mist, everything changed.
This face mist is presently on sale at Amazon for over 50% off during the Spring Sales, which makes it even better. This artificial tan, which was once priced at £24, is now only £13, a significant 46% reduction.

What is so wonderful about this mist, then? The list is lengthy, but some of my personal favorites include the streak-free results, the non-pore-blocking chemicals, the fine mist that doesn't leave splotches on your face, and the fact that it doesn't smell like standard fake tans.
Today is another sales day, and we're showcasing Medik8's Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream. After trying hundreds of face creams during her career, Laura, the beauty editor for Mirror, has approved of this hydrating formula.
"This Medik8 formula has been a complete game changer," Laura explains. As part of Amazon's massive spring sale, a 50ml tub that normally retails for £45 is now only £36. This is less expensive than what you can currently get at Lookfantastic, John Lewis, and Medik8's own website.

It's the closest thing I've ever found to a "perfect" face cream. It reduces dryness without causing me to break out in patches, is nourishing without being oily, and gives my skin a better, plumper, and more youthful appearance that lasts all day. It has forced me to reintegrate this skincare step into my routine, and my skin is better for it. I genuinely believe that all skin types can use and appreciate it.
Today marked the official start of Amazon's Spring Sales, during which the online giant drastically cut prices on some of its best-selling items, including Ninja, Apple, and Elemis. This week, we're showcasing the tried-and-true purchases that we believe are worth the money.
Meghan, the shopping reporter for Mirror, wanted to test out Wonderskin Lip Stain to see if it lived up to the hype after it became the top-selling lip stain on Amazon.
Meghan states: "The shade Lovely, which is classified as a chestnut brown color, is what I got on Amazon. Normally, the lip stain costs £18. However, during Amazon's Spring Deals Week, customers can get one for 25% less, making it slightly more affordable at £13.68.

Since Maybelline's Super-Stay lipstick range is one of the few that actually lasts as long as advertised on the box and is reasonably priced, I've always been a fan. You can read my review, But the Wonderskin stain held up for hours without fading, even through food and beverages, and even refused to move when I washed my teeth. I'm amazed at how long it lasted. Lovely was a very beautiful tone that enhanced my natural lip color without being gaudy or artificial, even though I wouldn't say it turned out as brown as it was stated.
