What's inside the Cult Beauty The Must-Have Edit?
A powerhouse line-up of cult classics and beauty-editor favourites from glow-boosting skincare and pore-perfecting primers to juicy blush and a scent that turns heads. Spoiler alert, here is the full list:
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm in 'Black Cherry' (deluxe size; 20g)
Starting as a rich balm, it melts into a silky oil and finishes as a soothing milk to deeply cleanse and nourish the skin. The limited-edition Black Cherry scent is a comforting twist to your evening routine.
Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum (deluxe size; 8ml)
For skin that looks brighter, smoother, and more even-toned, this potent vitamin C serum is a must. Using a stable form of vitamin C (THD ascorbate), it tackles dullness, helps fade dark spots, and improves overall texture, all while supporting skin firmness with a burst of antioxidant power.
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant (travel size; 30ml)
This iconic exfoliator is known for transforming skin in just a few uses. With 2% salicylic acid, it clears pores, smooths uneven texture, and reduces blemishes all without stripping the skin.
BIOEFFECT EGF Serum (full size; 15ml)
The crown jewel of this edit, this full-size serum uses a plant-based Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) to encourage cell renewal and hydration.
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer (travel size; 10ml)
Designed to keep your make-up locked in place for up to 12 hours, this award-winning primer also treats your skin with hyaluronic acid, aloe, and blue agave.
Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in 'Rose 'N' Brunch' (deluxe size; 3g)
This blush-meets-balm hybrid combines creamy ease with powder performance. It blurs texture, adds a natural flush, and sets to a soft matte finish all while feeling weightless on the skin. The shade ‘Rose ‘N’ Brunch’ is universally flattering and buildable, too.
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist (deluxe size; 30ml)
A true fan favourite, with mouthwatering notes of pistachio, salted caramel, almond, and vanilla, it delivers a warm, addictive scent that lingers all day and instantly lifts your mood.
