As beauty editors, the Edgars Beauty team gets to try so many different products each month. From blushers, mascaras and self-tanners to beard oils, night creams and nail polishes, we’re constantly trialling new things hitting the market. So, we thought we’d share our absolute favourite products with you, with a focus on winter beauty products. Want to know what the team can’t live without this month? Here are their favourite products for July.
Kiehl’s Age Defender Power Serum
“A facial serum is an excellent skincare product to include in your night-time grooming routine. One of my favourite serums is Kiehl’s Age Defender Power Serum. The gel texture is lightweight and absorbs instantly into my skin. If ageing is one of your skincare concerns, this is a no-brainer, as it reduces lines and wrinkles over time. I use it almost every night. Less is more, so there is no need to use it excessively. Just two pumps is all you need for it to do its magic.”

MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo
“For a longwear lip that delivers from application to last-person-to-leave the-party, my heart belongs to MAC Ruby Woo. It’s a perfect matte red lippie (hence its official title: Retro Matte Lipstick), which remains true to colour, and goes on and stays on. Whether you’re someone who goes to the trouble of using a lip brush or just slicking it on in the bathroom mirror on your way out the door, it’s perfect for a long-lasting pop of colour.”

Origins GinZing Into The Glow Brightening Serum
“This little treat had me with its refreshing citrus smell and the fact that its light texture absorbs easily into my skin. It’s filled with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and an AHA/BHA blend that brightens dull skin for a radiant look, while plumping it nicely. Its green coffee seed and AHA/BHA blend also helps to boost cell turnover for smoother skin and less visible pores. I use it in the morning and evening, along with the Origins GinZing face wash and cream moisturiser, and I love how my skin is looking at the moment.”

Revlon New Complexion One-Step Compact Powder Foundation
“The older I get, the more impatient I become with my make-up routine. Therefore, I’m on the hunt for long-lasting formulas that require no touch-ups throughout the day and still leave me looking flawless at 5pm. Revlon’s New Complexion One-Step Compact Foundation is a cream to powder foundation formula that goes on my skin with such ease. It gives that ‘buffed’, ‘too good-to-be-true’ kind of finish while still looking natural. It’s lightweight but buildable and doesn’t cake at all. If you have oily-prone skin, give this foundation a try. It’s a game-changer! I’m shade Natural Beige.”
