bdTrial: Coveted beauty products

The BD team give the lowdown on some of the most coveted products on the market.

 
I was lucky enough to try the M.A.C Fix+ this week and I have to say that this one is coveted for a reason! I lightly spritzed the liquid on before applying my make-up to allow my skin to absorb all the goodness of green tea, chamomile and cucumber. I also applied it after I put my face on to help it set and prevent that ‘cakey’ look. This one will be added as a staple product to my make-up bag. - Laura

 
At 27, and with a previous penchant for serious tanning, I’m suffering from my fair share of fine lines, but lucky for me they’re easier to treat than deep wrinkles. I find the simplest way to improve the appearance and texture of my premature ageing is through the daily application of this serum. I use it at night before I go to sleep while my skin starts to repair itself, and I wake up with a much more plump complexion. This is a cult product for a reason and I now understand why women all over the world list it as a must-have! - Kelly

 
Navigating your way through the millions of fake tans on the market can be a daunting task. I have found myself various shades of tangerine over the years, which is why when I find a good tan I cling to it for dear life. Bondi Sands has not let me down yet – the self-tanning foam is easy to use, leaving behind a natural bronze glow and the summery scent of coconuts. - Sarah

 
I come from the keratin-lacking department leaving me with weak nails that break at the simplest of taps, making Revitanail Nail Strengthener a key player in my beauty arsenal. Fortified with calcium gel, the award-winning formula hardens, strengthens and protects the nails while promoting their growth. When you find a product that not only works wonders, but also enhances aesthetics (hello shiny nails), it immediately earns cult status. I'm not letting go of this bad boy anytime soon. - Ally

 
I am only a new recruit to the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, but now I have no idea how I managed to get through life without this product! Okay, so maybe that's slightly dramatic, but I legitimately wear it every single day. That glow! The radiance! My skin has come to light thanks to this shimmering, brush-on powder. After years of listening to other people rave about this product, I've now joined the throngs of fangirls. - Yelena
