Celebrating 14 years of Cult Beauty
1. Milk Makeup Matte Bronzer (6g)
206
RRP: £22.00Current price: £13.20
Oh milk, oh my — we could gush about this NYC-based brand all.day.long. Loved for their hardworking formulas (hello, {Hydro Grip Primer}), each must-have boasts 100% vegan and skin-benefiting formulas that we can’t get enough of. With Milk Makeup, a bronzer doesn’t simply add warmth, it adds sun-kissed luminosity; a blusher doesn’t just apply a flush of colour, it lends a dewy glow via hydrating skin care; a primer doesn’t just— well, you get the idea.
2. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops 40ml
1251
£32.00
We’ve been obsessed with this K-Beauty brand since its inception for bestowing the ultimate dewy skin glow to our complexions. From the must-have Niacinamide Dew Drops to new innovations like the {Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner}, we have been firm believers in their hero (and yummy) ingredient, watermelon. For most, getting ahold of Glow Recipe exclusively through Cult Beauty is their first foray into the world of K-Beauty (read: glassy skin) and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
3. Youth To The People Superfood Cleanser (Various Sizes)
768
£15.00
Known for their superfood-powered skin care, the eco-conscious brand Youth To The People has won over skin care aficionados (including us!) with nutrient-dense, leafy-green formulas. Case in point: the Superfood Cleanser packed chock full of vitamins E, C and K — making this antioxidant-rich smoothie a huge slurp of the good stuff for your face. We couldn't be more thrilled to be an exclusive stockist and their minimally-chic glass bottles are the ultimate addition to our #shelfie-worthy collection.
4. NARS Cosmetics Blush 4.8g (Various Shades)
223
It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of this Cult-classic brand. It is, after all, our Brand of the Month for a reason. A household name like no other, their bestselling {‘Orgasm’ blush} (and subsequent ‘Orgasm’ releases… see what we did there?) has been a staple in our routines for years, thanks to its shimmery peachy-pink shade, high colour pay-off and always-flattering finish.
5. Alpha-H Liquid Gold 100ml
£43.99
Hailing from Australia’s Gold Coast, Alpha-H’s range of radiance-boosting, skin-renewing formulas have been transformative for all, but especially, blemish-prone complexions. Time and time again, we come back to their multiple award-winning Liquid Gold with 5% Glycolic Acid to revitalise and add lustre to dull skin overnight — a feat we couldn't possibly turn down.
6. The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid Serum 30ml

One of our most exciting, affordable beauty brands to date, The Inkey List took the skin care world by storm with their straightforward approach.

£21.00
Making its way from across the pond, this California-based brand won our hearts with their fun sensibility and skin-loving, creamy, vegan make up. You can bet we've gone through empty after empty of the {lip jelly range} and their tinted balm that bestows a luminous, sun-kissed glow.

11. Huda Beauty Power Bullet Matte Lipstick

£24.00
Huda Kattan, the undisputed queen of the global beauty scene, can do no wrong when it comes to creating the most sought-after make up in every department: luxe liquid lipsticks, phenomenal palettes, {filter-effect foundations}… the list goes on and on. Don’t quote us on this but we’re proud to say that we were one of the first to bring Huda Beauty's incredible innovations outside of the Middle East.
12. The Nue Co. Prebiotic + Probiotic (60 Capsules)
137
£48.00
Reminding us that taking care of our health from the inside out is just as important (if not more!) as our lotions and potions, The Nue Co. delivers super supplements across hair care, skin care and gut health. Science-led and sustainably-minded, the Nue Co. undoubtedly give traditional supplements a very chic, visual upgrade with results we've experienced first-hand.
13. Saie Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer
298
£29.00
When we discovered the secret to barely-there, “no make up” make up, we just had to share. Dearly beloved for marrying made-to-melt textures with wearable shades, Saie knows exactly how to achieve a radiant, natural-looking complexion without a trace of a cakey finish — and with an eco-friendly ethos imbued in every find, not only does your make up look clean but is clean, too.
14. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz 0.08g (Various Shades)
391
£23.00
Brow Wiz — ‘nuff said. We remember when the Cara Delevigne craze was gaining momentum, big brows were blowing up and Anastasia Beverly Hills was there to lead the way. Trailblazing to the top with everything from pencils that draw the finest, hair-like strokes to {highly-pigmented pomades} and {brows-that-don't-budge wax}, we have no doubt that one of their trusted heroes has graced your brows at some point in time.
