The post 15 female-founded skincare brands you need to know about appeared first on A Woman's Confidence.

As 2025 is over, I’m sharing some of the best hair, skincare, body, fragrance, and makeup products from the year.

These are the products that I’m reaching for the most. They improve the look and feel of my skin, add lots of volume and body to my hair, facilitate gorgeous makeup looks, and ensure I smell incredible all day long. I had a hard time narrowing down this list to my faves, as I tried loads of excellent products in 2025, but here are my beauty must-haves.

*This post contains some affiliate links. This means, at no extra cost to you, I earn some commission if you purchase a product through my link. All thoughts are my own, though, as always. If you want to find out more, visit my affiliate disclosure page*

The Valentino Born In Roma Donna Extradose Parfum (20% off at LookFantastic with LFTFBLOGSARAH) is a gorgeous perfume. With notes of vanilla, jasmine, cassis accord, and rhum accord, this perfume is sweet, slightly floral, and romantic. It’s elegant and is the type of perfume you can wear for any occasion, as it’s not overpowering. This perfume lasts all day without fading. I’m obsessed.

The Victoria Beckham Beauty Lid Lustre is one of my favourite shimmery single eyeshadows. They’re creamy, insanely pigmented, easy to blend, and come in a beautiful range of shades. You can pack on intense colour to your eyelids by using your fingertips, or use a fluffy eyeshadow brush to diffuse the colour for a softer shimmery look. From golden olive and warm rose gold to navy blue and silver chrome, the shades look expensive. These are perfect ‘one and done’ shadows that deliver incredible results every time. I frequently reach for them.

The Redken Volume Injection Shampoo (20% off at LookFantastic with LFTFBLOGSARAH) is one of the best shampoos for adding volume and lift to my hair. This shampoo makes my hair look fuller and thicker, while preventing my scalp from getting oily as quickly. A little bit of product goes a long way.

The Redken Volume Injection Conditioner (20% off at LookFantastic with LFTFBLOGSARAH) is an excellent conditioner for adding volume to my scalp without weighing my hair down or making it greasy. This conditioner ensures my hair stays moisturised and healthy, all while giving it extra body.

The Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner and Moisturiser (20% off at LookFantastic with LFTFBLOGSARAH) is my fave milky toner. It adds moisture, hydration, and dewiness to my skin instantly, without making my skin oily. This toner instantly refreshes my skin; it’s a cheat code to healthy skin in a bottle and absolutely worth the hype.

The Sculpted by Aimee LashLift has quickly become one of my fave mascaras. It adds effortless length and lift to my lashes without looking clumpy or flaking. It’s pretty smudge-proof, too. I love that the formula is lightweight, separates lashes, and delivers length with just 1 coat. I’ve got this mascara in Ultra-Black and Rich Brown, and both shades are stunning.

The Wavytalk Blowout Boost (25% off with Sarah25) is my first foray into thermal brushes, and I wish I’d tried it sooner. This heated brush allows you to easily get a ’90s blowout hairstyle, add volume to your hair, or get smooth waves. It heats up quickly and allows you to get salon-worthy results at home. Obsessed.

The Rhode Pocket Blush is a beautiful and versatile formula. Whether you apply the blush directly to your cheeks and lips, use a brush, or use your fingertips, it will blend easily and never look overdone. I find this blush works best when warmed on the back of my hand, and then using a brush to pick up the product from my hand and diffuse across my cheeks. This blush has a soft matte, skin-like finish that gives skin a natural flush of colour. The shade range is gorgeous. Sleepy Girl (a soft mauve) and Toasted Teddy (a bronze terracotta) are my go-to shades.

The Kate Somerville ExfoliKate® Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash (20% off at LookFantastic with LFTFBLOGSARAH) is fantastic. This cleanser makes my skin feel clean, fresh, hydrated, and smooth after use. As the exfoliation comes in a cleanser form, this is more tolerable for sensitive skin, as the formula is washed off your skin, which makes it great for those looking to introduce an exfoliator into their skincare routine without damaging their skin’s barrier. This cleanser foams easily, so a little bit of product goes a long way. My complexion looks brighter and more even after using this cleanser.

The Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F Triple Serum is an expensive and innovative serum that’s worth the money. It contains skin-loving ingredients like ferulic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to smooth, brighten, and moisturise the skin. It’s also designed to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Since using this serum, my skin looks more radiant and feels firmer.

The Lancôme Rénergie H.P.N. UVMUNE SPF50 Cream is one of my fave moisturisers in recent years. It’s rich, luxurious, and thick. Yet, despite being ultra-nourishing, it never feels heavy or greasy. Instead, it melts into the skin easily and provides long-lasting hydration. Some moisturisers containing SPF feel like they never absorb into the skin and just sit on top in a heavy, clogging way. This one smooths into the skin like a breeze, thanks to the plumping peptide complex.

The ONE/SIZE On ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray is perfect for locking makeup into place. If I’m wearing makeup for over 6 hours or want my base to stay perfectly in place, this setting spray is my go-to. It means my makeup won’t budge and will look fresh all day. I love how fine the mister is on this setting spray, as it ensures even distribution of the product across my face.

The Kiehl’s Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream balances being lightweight and absorbent, alongside delivering long-lasting nourishment. After using this on my feet, which can get quite dry and cracked after swimming, this helps repair any soreness and soothe dryness for soft, supple skin.

The Jones Road Gel Liner is creamy, which means it doesn’t drag across the eyelids on application or feel drying. It glides on seamlessly and doesn’t budge once applied. The gel liner foolproof to use, as you can achieve smooth, precise lines, without it wobbling or smudging. I’ve got the shade Navy, which adds a subtle touch of colour to eye makeup for a sophisticated look.

The Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry | 48 (15% off at Sephora with SARAHSSPH) has quickly become one of my fave gourmand scents. This cherry fragrance has an elevated and complex fragrance profile, with notes like caramelised praline, patchouli, palo santo, and guaiac wood. On paper, I wouldn’t opt for this perfume, as I don’t tend to like woody fragrances, but this one smells balanced, sophisticated, and not overpowering. I love it.

The Skinfood Rice Brightening Pad (money off YesStyle with CONFIDENCE10) is a toner pad that’s worth investing in. These sumptuous toner pads make skin hydrated, look glowy, and feel refreshed. Rice pore complex helps restore elasticity and tighten the skin, PHA gently exfoliates the skin, and niacinamide helps brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. After using these toner pads, my skin instantly looks and feels better.

The By Beauty Bay Desert Haze 20 Colour Palette is a colour story that instantly stood out to me, with fiery coppers and golds, royal blue, earthy khakis and browns, stunning rose golds, and soft beige sandy tones. Although this palette is cheap, the shadows feel expensive. The mattes are soft and buttery with minimal fallout, while the shimmers are fiercly pigmented and deliver a range of shimmer intensities to create a diverse range of looks. I reach for this palette quite regularly at the moment.

The MAC Lustreglass Lipstick in Alone Time is a unique cool-toned lipstick. I don’t always suit cool-toned lipsticks, as they can wash me out and appear greyish on my complexion, but Alone Time is wearable. It’s a pretty mauve brown that will work with just about any neutral or cool-toned makeup look. The formula is smoothing, flattering, sheer, and buildable. It makes lips look glossy and keeps them hydrated. 

The Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence (20% off at LookFantastic with LFTFBLOGSARAH) is another excellent milky toner. This formula is richer and more nourishing than the Laneige one in this best beauty products of 2025 list, which makes it ideal for drier skin or in colder weather. The toner is ultra-hydrating and seals in moisture all day. It also makes my skin look radiant, feel soft and smooth, and removes the need for a thick moisturiser.

The Haus Labs Color Fuse Longwear Glassy Lip + Cheek Stick is perfect for when I want a glossy cheek look. This gorgeous formula blends effortlessly. Whether I’m after a saturated pop of glassy colour or a more subtle flush of colour, this stick blush will work. It removes the need for a highlighter, as it provides a glowy non-shimmery finish, which is flattering and never clings to skin texture. The shade range is phenomenal, offering pretty lilacs, berries, nude browns, peaches, and soft pinks. This is one of my fave blushes of all time.

The TYMO CurlGo is a great styling tool for soft, bouncy curls or silky waves. Although I wish the curls lasted longer, I love the results: elegant, classy curls with minimal effort. The curler does all of the hard work for you, as the barrel auto-rotates your hair in the wand. Once you get the hang of using the device, the CurlGo truly is easy to use.

The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF50+ (20% off at LookFantastic with LFTFBLOGSARAH) is one of the best sunscreens I’ve ever tried. No white cast, no sticky feeling, and it absorbs instantly. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and refreshing. It layers over skincare products without pilling and sits underneath makeup without disturbing it. This SPF50 also has a cooling sensation on application, so it’s refreshing to use on a hot day. I’d repurchase this in an instant.

The Mixsoon Bean Essence is vegan, fragrance-free, and cruelty-free. Ideal for sensitive, oily, or textured skin, this versatile serum can be used to hydrate or gently exfoliate the skin. As this uses pomegranate enzyme for exfoliation, you can incorporate this essence into your daily skincare routine, and it’ll still be gentle and kind to your skin.

Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner Fragrance Free

It features black rice extract, which is excellent for softening and conditioning the skin. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin ensure your skin stays hydrated all day long.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask 

£13.01 for 20g

The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is incredible. This overnight lip treatment is thick and somewhat sticky, but by the morning, you’ll have the softest, smoothest, and plumpest lips ever! It’s so worth it. This has saved my dry and sore lips many times from central heating and harsh, cold weather.

Coconut oil, murumuru seed butter, and shea butter deeply nourish lips overnight, while ascorbic acid (vitamin C) firms lips. Unfortunately, Laneige is not cruelty-free, and this lip mask contains fragrance.

Heimish All Clean Balm

£9.90 for 50ml

The Heimish All Clean Balm is one of the best cheap cleansing balms available. This cruelty-free and vegan formula is rich, luxurious, and effortlessly dissolves makeup, skincare, dirt, oil, and grease from your skin.

The Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water is vegan, fragrance-free, and cruelty-free. This hydrating and refreshing toner is safe for sensitive skin and helps regulate excess sebum production. You can slot this essence easily into any skincare routine.

This toner features 80% ginseng, which boosts skin hydration, diminishes rough texture, helps fade uneven skin tone, and helps visibly improve wrinkles by working within the skin to bolster its natural firmness, according to Paula’s Choice. 2% niacinamide reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, regulates excess sebum, brightens the complexion, and improves uneven skin tone.

Purito SEOUL Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream

This lightweight and refreshing ampoule reduces redness and hydrates skin. Its watery consistency means it absorbs instantly and plays beautifully with other skincare products. Centella asiatica soothes skin and strengthens the skin’s barrier, while glycerin hydrates.

The APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Sheet Mask is cruelty-free and fragrance-free. This effective sheet mask offers a myriad of benefits, including brighter, intensely moisturised, and soothed skin in just 20 minutes. This refreshing mask is drenched in liquid so that once you remove it, you can gently massage the excess product into your skin for plump and dewy results.

Niacinamide visibly minimises enlarged pores, tightens lax pores, improves uneven skin tone, softens fine lines and wrinkles, diminishes dullness, and strengthens a weakened surface. Glutathione brightens a dull complexion and helps defend skin against the visible effects of environmental damage.

d’Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum

£13.40 for 50ml

The d’Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum is vegan and cruelty-free. This hydrating mist is the perfect way to top up moisture levels throughout the day. It feels super luxurious, as the mist is ultra-fine but feels refreshing and nourishing. This mist also gives skin a noticeable glow, so it’s great to spritz on top of SPF or as the final step in your makeup routine for visible radiance.

White truffle conditions the skin, sunflower seed oil replenishes and soothes skin, avocado oil provides deep hydration, and soybean oil can help fade stubborn discolouration.

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

£14.64 for 100ml

The COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is probably the most famous K-beauty snail mucin product on the market. This cruelty-free and fragrance-free essence features up to 96% snail secretion filtrate, a powerful ingredient that fights multiple signs of ageing. Beyond this essence’s iconic gloopy consistency, it can improve uneven skin tone, hydrate, fade dark spots and scars, and soothe redness and irritation.

iUNIK Centella Calming Daily Sunscreen

£11.46 for 60ml

The iUNIK Centella Calming Daily Sunscreen is one of the few high-quality and effective SPFs under the £15 mark. This affordable K-beauty staple is cruelty-free and fragrance-free. This chemical sunscreen offers SPF50 broad-spectrum protection. It’s lightweight, non-sticky, leaves no white cast, doesn’t pill, and leaves a natural matte finish. For a sunscreen, this is also surprisingly hydrating and soothing, so oilier skin types can get away with not using a moisturiser and just using this SPF.

Centella asiatica soothes skin and strengthens the skin’s barrier, while niacinamide reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, regulates excess sebum, brightens the complexion, and improves uneven skin tone.

FULLY Green Tomato Clay Pack Cleanser

£13.09 for 120ml

The FULLY Green Tomato Clay Pack Cleanser is vegan and fragrance-free. This innovative 2-in-1 skincare product is both a cleanser and a clay mask. Tomato extract provides significant antioxidant properties, while kaolin clay and bentonite help reduce excess oiliness throughout the day. To offset any dryness or abrasiveness from these 2 clays, this cleanser/mask features soothing centella asiatica and ceramide NP to soothe and restore skin.

As a cleanser, this clay formula gently exfoliates and cleanses to reveal fresh and smooth skin. It also helps regulate sebum production.

As a clay mask, apply a thick layer to dry skin, leave it for 5 minutes, and rinse off. This helps control excess sebum production, reduces oily skin throughout the day, and leaves skin soft and smooth.

Some by Mi Miracle Toner

£6.30 for 30ml

The Some by Mi Miracle Toner features AHA, BHA, and PHA to exfoliate on multiple levels to reveal a smoother, more even, and radiant complexion. With consistent use, this multipurpose toner can reduce the number of pimples and blackheads you get. Although this is marketed towards all skin types, this toner contains 3 exfoliating acids, so it’s best to use this once or twice a week to avoid any potential irritation or damage to your skin’s barrier.

Citric acid (AHA) gently exfoliates and removes dead skin cells. Salicylic acid (BHA) unclogs pores and prevents or gets rid of blackheads and breakouts. Lactobionic acid (PHA) is chemically similar to glycolic acid (an AHA), but the slower penetration of this acid on the skin means gentler exfoliation with less potential for irritation.

Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Cleansing Oil

£14.87 for 150ml

The Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Cleansing Oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free. This affordable K-beauty cleansing oil quickly and easily removes makeup, SPF, dirt, oil, and grease, revealing a soft, clean, and hydrated complexion. It’s non-stripping, gentle, and nourishing, while ensuring skin is fresh and pores aren’t clogged.

Black rice extract softens and conditions the skin, while sunflower seed oil and jojoba oil deeply nourish the skin. Despite being so moisturising, this cleanser never feels sticky or greasy after use.

Mixsoon Soybean Milk Pad

£14.09 for 30 toner pads

The Mixsoon Soybean Milk Pad is fragrance-free and cruelty-free. These toner pads are ultra-moisturising, refreshing, and soothing, providing long-lasting hydration. They’re great for strengthening and repairing the skin’s barrier, thanks to ceramide NP, which also helps soothe irritation and enhance skin elasticity.

Apply these toner pads for 10 minutes and massage in any excess product. The result? Protected, healthy, and dewy skin.

Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum

£12.24 for 30ml

The Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum is cruelty-free and fragrance-free. This serum makes skin more radiant and has an addictive honey-like texture. Despite the thick consistency, the serum absorbs into the skin and doesn’t remain sticky or tacky. Instead, after using this serum, skin is noticeably glowier, hydrated, and soothed. 60% propolis soothes skin, while 2% niacinamide improves uneven/dull skin tone.

I’m excited to share a closer look at the 6 products in my beauty store – The Confidence Collective – and why these amazing goodies should be part of your skincare and hair care routines.

Starting from just £5, I’ve tried and tested these products for weeks to ensure that they’re worth the investment, are truly effective, and have improved my hair and skin.

I’ve handpicked these beauty essentials, designed to make you feel empowered, confident, and radiant from the inside out. Let’s deep dive into each of the products, their ingredients, the benefits, and why I love them.

Dot & Lola Balance Shampoo

The Dot & Lola Balance Shampoo is plant-based, cruelty-free, and designed for all hair types. This gentle shampoo makes hair shiny, vibrant, and healthy. It works to soothe the scalp, promote natural hair growth, and deeply moisturise and strengthen strands.

It’s enriched with:

• Glycerin: to hydrate the scalp
• Argan oil: deeply nourishes the scalp
• Vitamin E: supports a healthy scalp and makes hair shiny
• Mandarin essential oil: promotes healthy scalp circulation and revitalises dull hair
• Lavender essential oil: soothes the scalp and prevents itchiness and dandruff
• Aloe vera: deeply cleans hair

The shampoo contains lavender, mandarin, and vertivert for a fresh, citrusy, uplifting, and floral scent. It’s sure to wake you up in the morning and evoke a spa-like sensory experience.

It comes in 2 different sizes: 50ml for £5 and 250ml for £20. Importantly, the packaging is eco-friendly and sustainable, as you can recycle the shampoo bottle once you’re finished (minus the pump dispenser).

Why I love it

I use this shampoo when my hair needs a refresh, to get rid of product build-up, and to hydrate my strands. I love how much shine it gives my hair and how soft it feels after using it.

This isn’t a shampoo I use to add volume to my hair, but rather one to keep my hair and scalp in great condition. It’s gentle, ultra-moisturising, and rinses out easily. I use this once a week to maintain optimal scalp health.

Dot & Lola Balance Conditioner

The Dot & Lola Balance Conditioner is vegan, cruelty-free, and designed for all hair types. This gentle conditioner nourishes strands, restores scalp health, rejuvenates hair, boosts shine, and encourages hair growth. The result? No more itchy scalps or dandruff, easily maintainable locks, and naturally healthy hair.

It’s formulated with:

• Argan oil: deeply nourishes the scalp
• Vitamin E: supports a healthy scalp and makes hair shiny
• Glycerin: hydrates the scalp
• Aloe vera: deeply cleans hair
• Coconut fruit oil: deeply conditions and restores damaged hair
• Citric acid: makes hair shiny, smooths hair texture, and helps reduce strand breakages

This conditioner blends lavender, mandarin, and vertivert to create a fresh, citrusy, and floral aroma that uplifts the senses—perfect for invigorating your mornings and delivering a spa-like experience.

It comes in 2 different sizes: 50ml for £6 and 250ml for £22. Again, you can recycle the conditioner bottle once you’re finished (minus the pump dispenser).

Why I love it

This conditioner is perfect for my oily scalp and fine hair as it’s hydrating without weighing my hair down or making it feel greasy. I notice my hair is significantly less tangly after using this conditioner, and it gives my hair wonderful shine.

Like the shampoo, this adds no volume or fullness to my hair. However, it works to keep my hair and scalp in excellent condition. It rinses out easily with no excess oil.

SOS Cleanse

The SOS Cleanse is a gentle and lightweight daily cleanser that’s designed for all skin types. This vegan and cruelty-free formula works to dissolve makeup; easily remove skincare products, dirt, and grease; and leave skin clean, fresh, and soothed. It has a soft gel texture that massages over skin easily, rinses off effortlessly with no residue, and leaves skin soft and hydrated.

The cleanser features:

• Propanediol: to make skin dewy
• Glycerin: to hydrate
• Grapesed oil: to soften and soothe skin
• Blue daisy extract: soothes skin with strong antioxidant properties

It comes in 3 different sizes: 15ml for £5, 50ml for £16, and 200ml for £35. The cleanser is fragrance-free and supports a healthy skin barrier.

Why I love it

This cleanser feels like you’re applying a moisturiser. It’s hydrating, softening, and leaves skin silky smooth. This never leaves my skin tight, stripped, or dry after use. It’s gentle and leaves no greasy residue behind. I particularly love how lightweight this cleanser is. While I love a thick cleansing balm, in the warmer summer months, sometimes the last thing I want to do is slather a rich balm all over my already-warm skin.

I use this as a first cleanse in the evening, as it does a great job at removing makeup, SPF, oil, and dirt from my skin. I follow up with a gel cleanser, and the result is fresh, clean, hydrated, and radiant skin.

MIE Skincare Tri-Active Hyaluronic Serum

The MIE Skincare Tri-Active Hyaluronic Serum is designed for all skin types and works to hydrate, smooth, and plump the skin. This luxurious formula targets dehydration, uneven skin tone and texture, and fine lines. The result is bright, nourished, smooth, and soft skin.

It’s formulated with:

• Hydrolysed hyaluronic acid: a form of hyaluronic acid that provides increased hydration in the skin’s surface layers
• Sodium hyaluronate: a form of hyaluronic acid that skin more readily absorbs and is an excellent skin-replenishing agent
• Sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer: a form of hyaluronic acid that facilitates enhanced hydration
• Glycerin: hydrates skin
• Panthenol: hydrates and soothes skin

This hyaluronic acid serum costs £47.50 for 30ml.

Why I love it

While this hyaluronic acid serum is a bit pricier, it’s one of the best I’ve tried. The formula literally melts into your skin and feels so smoothing and soft. It’s lightweight, absorbs instantly, and doesn’t pill.

But most importantly, this delivers serious hydration. It makes my skin ultra-moisturised all day and gives it a visibly plumper, smoother, and dewier appearance. The trio of hyaluronic acid derivatives work wonders on my skin. I love it.

SOS SPF 50

The SOS SPF 50 is a broad-spectrum mineral-based sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays. This fragrance-free SPF is non-greasy, leaves no white cast, and is invisible once applied. This sunscreen also slows down the development of fine lines and wrinkles.

It features:

• Titanium dioxide: a mineral-based sunscreen ingredient that protects against both UVA and UVB rays and is great for sensitive skin
• Zinc oxide: a gentle and non-irritating mineral-based sunscreen ingredient that protects against both UVA and UVB rays
• Hyaluronic acid: hydrates the skin
• Vitamin E: protects and defends skin against pollution and other pro-ageing environmental stressors
• Citric acid: an AHA that exfoliates the skin

There are 4 sizes available: 15ml for £5.50, 50ml for £17, 100ml for £28, and 200ml for £38. The sunscreen is also hydrating, calming, and suitable for sensitive skin.

Why I love it

Mineral sunscreens have a bit of a bad reputation for being thick, greasy, heavy, and leaving a white cast. This SPF 50 doesn’t do any of these things and is surprisingly lightweight. Once applied, you can’t tell you’re wearing any sunscreen except for the nice glow it leaves behind. I also find this formula hydrating and soothing.

I’ll be honest, this SPF can pill. I work around this by applying fewer skincare products beforehand. As the sunscreen is moisturising, I can get away with applying less moisturiser, for example. Also, I apply this SPF in small amounts, wait for that layer to absorb, and then go in with another layer to reduce any pilling. When I do this, I have no issues with pilling.

Honestly, while this may seem a bit fussy compared to chemical SPFs, the result is fantastic, and mineral formulas are typically gentler and kinder to the skin than chemical ones, so it’s definitely worth it.

Active Drip Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid Moisturising and Antioxidant Cream

The Active Drip Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid Moisturising and Antioxidant Cream is vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and suitable for all skin types. It has a gorgeous gel-cream texture that’s refreshing, cooling, absorbent, lightweight, and hydrating. This moisturiser nourishes, brightens, smooths, and softens skin, while reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving uneven skin tone and texture, and supporting a healthy skin barrier.

It’s enriched with:

• Vitamin C: helps to protect the skin from free radicals, environmental damage, and oxidative stress
• Sodium hyaluronate: hydrates and replenishes the skin
• Propanediol: makes skin look glowy
• Glycerin: hydrates the skin
• Citric acid: exfoliates the skin
• Caprylic/capric triglyceride: helps skin resist moisture loss

This costs £30.49 for 50ml.

Why I love it

Gel-cream moisturisers are my favourite as they strike the right balance between being lightweight and refreshing while still delivering long-lasting hydration. This luxurious moisturiser ticks those boxes and more. It makes my skin look particularly dewy and bright, so it’s great alone or as part of skincare prep before makeup application. This is one of my favourite moisturisers at the moment, and I find myself reaching for it frequently.

AD | The new @kiehlsuki Better Screen UV Serum SPF This serum sunscreen is completely invisible once blended, melts into the skin effortlessly, and doesn’t feel sticky or greasy. It feels lightweight and plays really well with other skincare products or underneath makeup products, as it doesn’t pill. The best bit about this sunscreen is that it goes invisible in SECONDS. It’s so convenient and easy to use compared to a lot of other sunscreens I’ve used. Plus it doesn’t have that horrible SPF smell.

This is definitely an eye cream I use when I’ve not slept well, as it makes me look immediately more awake The Face Oil is non-greasy, absorbs quickly, and nourishes skin. This oil isn’t too heavy for my combination skin and keeps it protected and moisturised for hours. It also gives skin a lovely dewy finish!

The post A brand-new beauty store is coming soon: The Confidence Collective appeared first on A Woman's Confidence.

The Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner and Moisturiser is a popular Korean skincare product that’s designed to soothe, intensely nourish, and refresh the skin. This milky toner is highly rated and has previously gone viral on TikTok and Instagram.

After trying and loving the Rhode Glazing Milk, I became curious about milky toners. I’m a massive toner fan anyway, and I loved the idea of a creamy yet fluid consistency that was both lightweight and ultra-hydrating. I’d seen a lot of positive reviews of the Laneige Cream Skin Toner and knew I had to try it.

In this review, I share my honest thoughts on the Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner and Moisturiser and whether it’s worth the hype.

About the Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner and Moisturiser

The Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner and Moisturiser is a cream-toner hybrid that’s enriched with nourishing ceramides and peptides for radiant, hydrated glass skin.

This innovative formula combines the benefits of a rich cream with the lightweight texture of a liquid toner to deliver soothing and nourishing hydration. It’s designed for all skin types but is particularly beneficial for sensitive, dry, and normal skin.

Key ingredients include:

• Squalane, hyaluronic acid, snow mushroom, and glycerin hydrate the skin.
• Meadowfoam seed oil, which softens the skin.
• Camellia japonica flower extract and camellia sinensis leaf extract soothe the skin and have impressive antioxidant properties.
• Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 helps the skin become healthier.
• Ceramide NP helps improve the look and feel of dry or dehydrated skin thanks to its water-retention properties and reinforces skin’s barrier strength to better resist external stressors.
• Propanediol makes skin look smooth and glowy.

Laneige is not cruelty-free or vegan.

The Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner and Moisturiser costs £29.50 for 170ml. Get 20% off with code LFTFBLOGSARAH here.

How to use the Laneige Cream Skin toner

After cleansing, gently pat the toner into the skin. A few shakes of the bottle into the palm of your hand is ample. This can be used every day in the morning and the evening. You can apply this toner in multiple layers for additional hydration.

Honest Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner and Moisturiser review

I’ve been using the Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner and Moisturiser consistently every morning for around 2 weeks. I’ve got combination skin with mild rosacea but am typically not sensitive to products.

The hype is absolutely deserved! This milky toner is fantastic.

The packaging is nothing special. The toner comes in a plastic bottle that feels quite weighty. I love that the top is not a pump dispenser. You simply shake the bottle upside down for the product to come out. I find this less wasteful, as I can control how much product comes out.

What I particularly love is the consistency. This has a gorgeous creamy yet fluid texture. It’s clear to see why it’s described as a milky toner. Despite looking gloopy, it’s not sticky or greasy whatsoever. Instead, it’s lightweight, absorbent, and smooths over skin effortlessly.

This toner feels wonderful on the skin too. It’s instantly nourishing, hydrating, and soothing. It feels like a quenching drink for the skin. Importantly, I experienced no irritation or sensitivity. It’s very gentle and didn’t trigger my rosacea.

Since using this, my skin feels more moisturised, soothed, and soft. It gives my skin a gorgeous healthy glow too. Instead of making my skin feel oily, it feels balanced and healthy.

This toner is also ideal for skin prep before makeup. It gives makeup an even, dewy, and smooth canvas to work with. Applying this before makeup means that any other products won’t cling to dry patches or emphasise skin texture.

Out of the many hydrating toners I’ve tried over the years, this one stands out as an ultra-nourishing glass skin must-have. This truly deserves its holy grail status.

Rating: 5 stars

I’d highly recommend this toner for anyone who’s looking for moisturised, soothed, and radiant skin. This is healthy skin in a bottle.

This post shares 26 Leaping Bunny-approved cruelty-free makeup and skincare brands that are worth checking out.

All of the beauty brands in this post meet Leaping Bunny’s standards for being cruelty-free; they don’t test on animals at any stage of product development. From affordable to high-end, this list offers so many amazing makeup and skincare picks to suit your wants, needs, and morals.

These cruelty-free beauty brands are not only effective but they’re also ethical. Keep reading to see the brands are worth investing in!

About Leaping Bunny and how companies become part of the Leaping Bunny Program

Since 1996, the Leaping Bunny Program, operated by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics in the US and Canada, has been connecting compassionate consumers to cruelty-free companies under its Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals. Companies must pledge to end animal testing at all stages of product development in addition to recommitting to the programme annually and being open to third-party audits.

There are currently 2,343 Leaping Bunny-approved companies. A list of all the Leaping Bunny-certified brands can be found in this directory.

What happens if a company isn’t part of the Leaping Bunny Program?

Just because a company is not part of the Leaping Bunny Program it doesn’t mean it’s not cruelty-free. For example, the brand may not be aware of Leaping Bunny and thus not have its certification. However, being Leaping Bunny-certified ensures that you’re buying from a company that adheres to rigorous standards and is 100% confirmed to be cruelty-free.

The post 26 Leaping Bunny-approved cruelty-free beauty brands to try appeared first on A Woman's Confidence.

As 2024 has finished, I wanted to share my fave beauty products from the year. Some of these products were new launches in 2024, but most were just new to me.

These are the products that I’m reaching for the most. They make my skin look and feel healthy, smell incredible, enable effortless and beautiful makeup looks, and are simply a joy to work with. As with all the previous years, I had a hard time narrowing down this list to my absolute faves, as I tried loads of excellent beauty products in 2024, but I managed to come up with the following list.

The r.e.m. beauty x Wicked Ozdust Eyeshadow Palette has quickly become one of my fave eyeshadow palettes. It’s a playful palette, with icy blues, vibrant pinks, forest greens, glittering golds, and multichrome beauty. There’s a trio of great neutral shades alongside a decent mix of warm and cool tones. The mattes are soft, easy to blend, and buildable. But the shimmers are the true standouts. You need to apply them with your fingertips to get the most out of them, but they’re richly pigmented, incredibly sparkly, and long-wearing. This palette inspires me to be creative and play around with different colours.

The Mixsoon Bean Essence (get 10% off at Refresh Skincare with AWOMANSCONFIDENCE) is a fantastic skincare find. This Korean skincare product does a great job of making skin smoother and more radiant. It gently exfoliates the skin with pomegranate enzyme, which isn’t irritating and is a perfect option for sensitive skin. This means I can use the essence frequently, without worrying that it’ll cause a rosacea flare-up. Since using this, my skin texture is more even.

The Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (get 20% off at LookFantastic with LFTFBLOGSARAH) has become a staple in my self-care routine. This gorgeous body moisturiser is rich and sumptuous, without being greasy. A little bit of product goes a long way, so you only need a small amount to nourish your skin. The scent is so addictive. It’s sweet, with notes of pistachio, almond, vanilla, and salted caramel. I can’t stop reaching for it.

The Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer (get 15% off at Sephora with SARAHSSPH) is iconic in the makeup community. I can’t believe it took me so long to try it! This concealer is very full coverage. A tiny dot is enough to do your entire under-eye area. It gives a very airbrushed and smooth finish. If you have any blemishes, dark circles, spots, or redness, this product will instantly smooth over them for an even complexion. This is my go-to for brightening my under eyes.

The Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer (get 15% off at Sephora with SARAHSSPH) has quickly become one of my fave primers. It’s tacky, which provides a lot of grip for base products to stick to. It helps my makeup stay in place all day and last longer. A pea-sized amount is enough to cover my entire face, and I love its cooling and refreshing feeling on the skin.

The Better Not Younger Lift Me Up Hair Thickener (get 10% off with SARAH10) is a brilliant volumising hairspray. I spritz this onto my damp hair after a shower, letting it dry naturally, which gives it more lift and body. My hair is naturally very straight and smooth, but this product makes it feel thicker and provides more grip.

The Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum (get 20% off at LookFantastic with LFTFBLOGSARAH) is one of the best retinol serums I’ve tried. It’s non-irritating, absorbs quickly, and is lightweight. I’ve been using this for several months, and it’s helped reduce some of my fine lines. The serum makes my skin feel firmer, gives it more elasticity, and overall makes it plumper. Plus, if I have any spots or rough texture the night before, by the morning, my skin is much smoother and the bumpiness is significantly reduced.

The Kayali Vanilla | 28 perfume (get 15% off at Sephora with SARAHSSPH) is probably my all-time fave. I’m a sucker for anything with a vanilla scent, and this perfume has the most addictive and sweet vanilla fragrance. It’s complex and sultry, with notes of jasmine, tonka, amber, brown sugar, patchouli, and musk. This is my go-to evening scent. Obsessed.

The Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil is such a lovely blush. It provides a glowy and sheer pop of colour to the cheeks, but it’s buildable so that you can achieve a more saturated finish. The formula is hydrating and smooth, with very small pearlescent pigments for non-shimmery radiance. The shades are gorgeous, and I love how healthy the blush makes my skin look. I don’t apply too much to avoid looking greasy, but this is a divine formula.

The AXIS-Y Cera-Heart My Type Duo Cream is an innovative moisturiser to cater for your personalised skin needs. It contains 2 different moisturisers: 1 for your U-zone and 1 for your T-zone. The U-zone moisturiser (white) is thicker and creamier to provide more nourishment, while the T-zone moisturiser (blue) is a lightweight gel moisturiser that’s designed for oilier areas of the skin. Both moisturisers are fantastic, and it’s perfect for customising my skincare routine.

The Mallows Beauty Shave Butter is a fantastic TikTok find. These shave butters are creamy, come in a fantastic range of scents, and are kind to the skin. They leave my skin feeling nourished, soft, and smooth post-shave.

The YSL NU Bare Look Tint has quickly become one of my fave skin tints. It offers medium coverage and has a skin-like finish. This formula is also flexible. You can mix it with a liquid highlighter for a glowy effect or pair it with a mattifying primer for a matte look. Either way, this tint plays beautifully with other products without pilling. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and seamlessly evens out the complexion. It layers and blends effortlessly.

The CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2 (get 10% off with CONFIDENCE) is easily the best LED face mask I’ve tried. This powerful mask reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and redness; makes skin glowy; and improves skin texture. It’s a comfortable fit that’s flexible, adjustable, and lightweight, unlike many other LED devices on the market that can be heavy or uncomfortable. This skincare device delivers serious results.

The Chanel Le Crayon Lèvres Longwear Lip Pencil is great. It’s long-lasting, creamy, and easy to blend. It’s firm enough that it doesn’t just blend away into nothing if you blend the edges but still feels moisturising and comfortable. The lip liner sharpens well without breaking so you can always get precise lines. I love it.

The Zelens Z-22 Ultimate Face Oil (get 20% off at LookFantastic with LFTFBLOGSARAH) is fab. This face oil is rich without being heavy or greasy. It provides nourishment overnight and leaves my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and healthy. It’s been a while since I’ve found a face oil that I love, but this one ticks all the boxes.

The Patrick Ta Major Dimensions III Major Matte Eyeshadow Palette is the perfect neutral matte palette. This palette has every staple matte shade you could ever want, with cool, neutral, and warm tones. Whether you want a natural wash of cream all over the lids or want to create a sultry dark brown eyeshadow look, this palette has it all. It’s so versatile and wearable that I reach for it often. The eyeshadows themselves blend effortlessly, have very little fallout, are easy to build, feel velvety smooth, and stay put all day. Plus, the two cream formulas (brown and black) are ideal for creating precise, winged eyeliner.

The Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester CCC+ Ferulic Brightening Complex 20% (get 20% off with PMDM20) is a clinically proven vitamin C formula. This powerful, science-backed serum has helped even out my skin tone and made my skin smoother and more radiant. It’s lightweight, fast-absorbing, and doesn’t pill.

The r.e.m. beauty Lustrous Liquid Eyeshadow in Fembot is one of the prettiest eyeshadows I’ve ever tried. This duochrome liquid eyeshadow has the most incredible iridescent flip, shifting from a sparkling purple and pink to an intense glittery blue. It’s totally unique, easy to blend for a wash of shimmer or intense pigmentation, and is long-wearing. I can apply it just as easily with my fingertips or a fluffy brush. I get so many compliments when I wear this eyeshadow!

The Wild Natural Deodorant is the best natural and eco-friendly deodorant I’ve tried. The metal cases are sustainable and really pretty. And the deodorant refills are fantastic, as there’s a great range of scents – including an unscented version for sensitive skin – and they really work to keep you fresh and odour-free all day. The formula is smooth and creamy so that there’s no tugging on your skin when you apply it.

The Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun Kissed Glow Bronzer is one of my fave cream bronzers. Firstly, the compact is massive, so you get a lot of value for your money, and it means you can dip a big fluffy brush into the pan. Secondly, I love the formula. It’s creamy but not slippery where if you blend out the product it disappears. Instead, the formula has the perfect balance between being moisturising and gripping. I love the shade Medium, as it’s not orange, so it gives a gorgeous sunkissed glow to the skin. This makes my skin look healthy and bronzed.
