25 beauty buys that are worth every cent

1 Revlon ColorStay Looks Book Eye Shadow Palette in 960 Rocker and 900 Original

R230 each

These versatile mini palettes have makeup guru Katie Jane Hughes's stamp of approval – need we say more? 'They are absolutely insane wet and dry,' she says. You can spritz them with a little bit of makeup setting spray and create the most perfect eyeliner with them. And they literally blend like a dream.'

2 Skin Proud Sorbet Skin

R315

Skin Proud's entire range is colour-coded, so you can tell at a glance what time of day you're meant to use it: dawn pink for mornings, anytime pink for whenever and dusk pink for night-time use. With its hyaluronic acid complex and ultra-lightweight jelly texture that sinks right in, this gel delivers skin-loving goodness on a major scale, giving your skin a dewy glow.

3 Skin Republic Hyaluronic Acid 1% + Niacinamide Serum,

R250

Smooth a few drops of this serum onto damp skin for a long-lasting moisture boost. Skin feels soft and plumped thanks to the water loving hyaluronic acid, while niacinamide reduces blotchiness and boosts collagen production.

4 Lelive All Glow'd Up Serum

R299

With vitamin C, turmeric and liquorice extract to brighten; bakuchiol and aloe to clear and soothe; and multimolecular weight hyaluronic acid to hydrate, this locally made all-rounder will have your skin glowing in no time.

5 Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Body Oil

R72.95 for 250 ml

Although it's made with ultra-moisturising cocoa butter and vitamin E, this vegan body oil absorbs fast, hydrating skin and giving it a soft sheen. Apply it to damp skin after a bath or shower to lock in moisture, or add a capful to your bathwater.
