BDTrial: You may now kiss the bride

The BEAUTYDIRECTORY team trial a range of products deemed almost as essential on your wedding day as having the groom say “I do”.

Opalescence Go
I have my entire wedding planned, right down to the exact hue I want to reflect my bridesmaids’ baby blues. Anyway, the one small thing I don't have planned is, you know, the groom. I still haven’t met my match after scouring the meat market for many years, but one day, I shall. And he will be tall with brown hair, and I will have a nice tan and very white teeth. I’ll get said white teeth by using Opalescence Go regularly in the lead-up to my - sorry, OUR - big day. The teeth whitening kit features 10 pre-loaded upper and lower mouth trays for easy and mess-free application, however they do make you lisp a little bit so don’t do what I did and attempt to Skype whilst they are in your mouth. You’ll notice results after one use, but use all 10 trays for that intensely white smile. Now, I’m off to find that groom... - Kelly

Lonvitalite C8- Collagen Crystal Eye Mask
Just in case my boyfriend ever reads this, DO NOT PANIC - I have no intention of getting married in the near future. I'm just saying, when the time does come, one product that will definitely be on my must-have list is the Lonvitalite C8- Collagen Crystal Eye Mask. I use a mask before any big occasion, and you can't get much bigger than your own wedding! I love these eye masks as they are super-effective in targeting the dark circles and fine lines that have a bad habit of creeping up under my eyes. When I remove them, my eyes instantly look brighter and smoother - and who doesn't want that on their big day? Lonvitalite, I say "I do" to you! - Yelena

ViraproX Lip Balm
I’ve been with my boyfriend for six years and can definitely see myself spending the rest of my life with him, but even so - the idea of a wedding is a little terrifying. Unfortunately for me, one nasty side effect of terror and stress is the dreaded cold sore. Now, there’s no way I’ll be allowing one of those little face infestations to rear its ugly head when I’m due to walk down the aisle. So how am I going to stop this from happening? I’ve started using the ViraproX Lip Balm everyday, as it’s designed to target common triggers of cold sores such as dry lips, sunburn, stress and fatigue. I’m already seeing the results, so I know I can rely on this product when I’m preparing for my special day (whenever that may be!). - Aja

Danné Montague King Hydrating Masque
Face masks have become an important component in the beauty regimes of women everywhere. And while they may make us look like we’re channeling The Phantom Of The Opera, they do work to keep skin feeling and looking as fresh, plump and renewed as ever. This is exactly what you want for your pending nuptials. Danné Montague King’s Hydrating Masque is my pick - it will help to restore moisture to your face before the big day, without making you look like you’re wearing a paper balaclava in the process. The gel formula contains hydrating ingredients such as aloe barbadensis leaf extract to improve moisture levels of the skin, putting that essential bounce and glow back into your complexion. - Sarah

Glam by Manicare Gisele Lashes
I think lashes are the bees knees. Nothing finishes off a beautiful make-up look like perfect fluttery lashes, and The Gisele Lashes by Manicare are among my favourites. They’re very natural and when applied just right, people will think you’re blessed with bright, baby doll eyes. They enhance the length and thickness of the lash, and the best part is that the shape of the band sits nice and snug to your eye – so you won’t have a lash hanging off halfway through the night. I’d highly recommend these lashes for any bride, as they’re full enough to draw attention to the eyes without being too over the top. – Whitney
