The Beauty Edit

'Til The Last Drop #1

Welcome to ‘Til The Last Drop: a new column in which I, CF Beauty Editor, Olivia Bennett, share my bi-monthly review of a favourite cult product that I (truly) use to the last drop…

I’m messaged by friends and family, at all hours of the day, with recommendation requests for everything from “the budget gel moisturiser that works with combination skin” to “the hard-hitting eye cream that will make Botox a last resort”, and queries on “whether X, Y, and Z from the current trending brand is REALLY worth the hype”.

Such incessant inquiries sparked the idea for this column, where I’ll now be covering best-selling names alongside under-the-radar brands to note. You’ll hear about blow-the-budget products that live up to their hefty price tag and the purse-friendly steals which I unashamedly turn to time and again.

No need to text me, I’ll be sharing all my intel with you right here every other week. Tune in.


THE CULT MASCARA

From my years of trial and error, I've learnt that many mascaras make big declarations of grandeur but oftentimes fail to deliver the desired results. My requirements from a mascara are a tall order: I want it to curl, lift, and elongate my eyelashes, enrobing them in a soft coating of black pigment that doesn’t clump. I also want said product to fan my lashes in a wonderfully buildable texture that can take me from day-to-night.

The original Lancôme Hypnôse mascara is that faithful friend who won’t let you down. A quick zig-zag sweep offers an instant eye-opening effect, whilst multiple coats are the gateway to va-va-voom peepers. Thanks to jojoba oil and Vitamin B5 my lashes feel nourished too – an added bonus.

Today for 24 hours, Lancôme is running an exclusive 'buy one, get one free' offer across selected products – including this cherished mascara. Simply add two of the same product to basket, and use the code 'MARCHGIFT' at checkout. We're stocking up!
