Empty Glossy Containers: Sign of Their Exceptional Quality, as They've Been Completely Consumed

In our latest Glossy Empties feature, we share our top picks for the best beauty and wellbeing products that have left our editors feeling refreshed, nourished, and glowing. From skincare to makeup, haircare, and sun protection, these are the products that have earned a permanent spot in our daily routines.

First up, we have the Eaten Alive Classic Kimchi, priced at £7.49. This fermented cabbage dish is not just a delight for the taste buds, but it's also packed with gut-healthy benefits. According to Professor Tim Spector, founder of Zoe, daily consumption of Eaten Alive Classic Kimchi can help maintain good gut bacteria.

Moving on to makeup, the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix in Is It Fussy (£23) is a must-have. This perfect pink-nude combo gloss leaves the pout nourished and hydrated, thanks to its enriching ingredients like vitamin E, shea butter, and squalane.

For those seeking a flawless eyeshadow look, the Clinique High Impact Shadow Play Shadow & Definer (£28) is a double-ended eyeshadow stick that adds something special to the equation. With its cream shadow bullet and powder-tipped pointy sponge, it's a versatile tool for creating a variety of looks.

The Ruby Hammer Beauty Mascara and Brow Duo (£28) is another makeup essential. This dual-ended product allows for easy application of both mascara and brow gel, making it a convenient addition to any makeup bag.

In the skincare department, the Kate Somerville Mega-A Skin Transforming Serum (£72) is designed for sensitive skin. Pricier, but worth the investment for those seeking a powerful serum.

For those battling perioral dermatitis, the Beauty Pie Happy Face 10% Azelaic Acid Skin-Clearing Gel-Cream (£37, £22 for members) is a weightless, oil-free, scent-free cream that has proven effective. The azelaic acid in this product is teamed with niacinamide and additional anti-inflammatories, making it not just reduce redness, swelling, and irritation, but also work on pigment spots and fine lines.

The Tatcha The Water Cream (£67) has been a saviour for acne-prone, dry winter skin. This moisturizer delivers hydration without triggering breakouts, making it a staple for many.

For a deep exfoliation, the Bali Body Express Tan Remover Scrub (£25.95) is packed with nourishing ingredients like glycerin and grapefruit oil, while pumice and urea gently exfoliate, making it ideal for easy tan removal without irritation.

The Daise Coconut Glow Exfoliating Body Scrub (£8) is known for its unique texture and scent, making it a delight to use.

For curly hair individuals, the Hask Coconut Nourishing Conditioner (£7.40) is a popular choice. This conditioner is rich in nutrients, plant extracts, and hydrators, helping to fortify hair and combat frizz.

The Olaplex No5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner (£21) is another haircare favourite. This conditioner softens and detangles fine hair without leaving it flat or weighed down.

Lastly, for sun protection, the Ultra Violette SPF50 Queen Screen Super Glow Bronzing Drops (£33) delivers broad-spectrum SPF50 protection while leaving a bronzed glow. Alternatively, the Clarins Youth-Protecting Sunscreen High Protection SPF 30 (£27) is a reliable sunscreen option.

For a sun-kissed glow without the sun, the Self Glow by James Read Sunbright Tinted Tan Drops (£18) is a popular choice. These drops can be mixed with your favourite moisturiser for a natural-looking tan.

Each of these products has been thoroughly tested and approved by our team, and we hope this roundup helps you discover your new beauty and wellbeing essentials.
