At this point, Clinique’s Black Honey needs little introduction but, in case you’re in need of a quick refresher: it first launched in the 1970s as one of the first lipstick-balm hybrids and has since become nothing short of iconic. Its universally flattering plummy pigment has secured its place as a beauty staple, beloved across generations the world over.

In case you missed it, Sirens is the latest Netflix sensation taking social media by storm - and it’s easy to see why. At the centre of the buzz is Julianne Moore, who dazzles as Michaela “Kiki” Kell, a billionaire philanthropist with an eye for excess. Think: sparkling diamonds, flowing silks (the outfits in Sirens are particularly good), and ultra-luxurious beauty tech. One of her devices in particular has set the internet ablaze: the CurrentBody Skin LED Lip Perfector.

When it comes to eye creams, I don’t mind splashing out. Take Skin Rocks, for example, which comes in at an eye-watering £65. Expensive, yes, but in my opinion, the results were absolutely worth it - it was a total tonic for my sleep deprived peepers. So, when I noticed a spike in Google searches for the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Hydrating Eye Cream, £15.99 a few months ago, my interest was piqued.

Struggling with chest and back acne has been a long-standing source of embarrassment for me - a feeling that only intensified when I became a beauty journalist. How could anyone take me seriously when my own skin was marked with angry, red blemishes? Surely I, of all people, should know the importance of washing, at the very least? Of course, I now recognise that was my own insecurity talking and nothing more.

As I write this, I’m touching wood. Aside from my usual gripe (persistent pigmentation on my upper lip), my skin is actually behaving itself right now. I have blemish-prone, sensitive skin, yet there’s a definite glow around my T-zone, and the breakouts that once flared up without warning seem to have finally settled.

Fox & Vamp Extensions ShampooFox & Vamp Extensions ConditionerFox & Vamp Extension ExtenderI enjoyed a brief flirtation with hair extensions on my wedding day. I adored how they bolstered my fine hair. Gone were my thin and wispy strands replaced with something altogether fuller, bouncier and longer. The tapes were subtle and undetectable, so I was hooked. Or so I thought. While I adored my extensions, I hated the upkeep.

It’s official – we’re overhauling our monthly manicures to incorporate the trending nail designs of the moment. No longer are we opting for lip-gloss hues and pastel tones suited to spring. And we’re certainly not about moody autumn nails (as much as we’re still adoring tortoise shell nails) Instead, we’re injecting some summer 2024 into our look – which means taking things up a notch and making moves towards all things brighter and bolder. Think neon hues, Barbie pinks, and zesty oranges.

On the Grazia beauty team we test (almost) everything under the sun. Yet, despite the constant stream of new launches, only a select few products earn a permanent spot in our own routines. Clinique’s new Moisture Surge Glow Serum, £65 is now one of them. It's hardly a surprise, really. The brand knows its way around excellent hydration heroes. I have combination skin prone to sensitivity, so finding a serum suited to my skin can be a tall order. This one, however, ticked all my boxes.
