'I try endless skincare as a beauty writer, but this line has a permanent spot in my routine'
Shopping writer Lauren trials countless products - but this one range has earned itself a repeat order As a beauty writer, I'm constantly rotating through new skincare launches. Between testing serums, masks and moisturisers to help narrow down the best buys for your buck, I rarely stick with any one range for long. But now and then, a collection lands on my desk that actually earns a permanent spot in my routine. Case in point: Laneige's Bouncy & Firm range, which I've just restocked for the third time. Laneige, perhaps best known for its cult-favourite Lip Sleeping Masks, launched the Bouncy & Firm line earlier this year with four products designed to plump, revitalise and hydrate tired skin: a serum, sleeping mask, eye sleeping mask and a lip sleeping mask. They arrived in March, and five months on, I'm still reaching for every one of them - especially the Bouncy & Firm Eye Sleeping Mask (£28). My under-eye area is notoriously sensitive, and finding an eye product that doesn't sting, itch, or leave me looking worse for wear is rare. In fact, I can't recall ever repurchasing one - until now. The eye mask is a total game changer, with a cooling gel-like texture that glides on smoothly and instantly de-puffs and soothes. It feels indulgent to apply, like a chilled spa moment before bed, and it's never caused any irritation, even after months of nightly use. For those who also suffer from irritation like me, there are a few different eye creams that cater to sensitive skin. Clinique's Moisture Surge™ Eye 96-Hour Hydro-Filler Concentrate (£35) is dermatologist and allergy tested, as well as being 100% fragrance free. Otherwise, CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream (£10.15) is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and eczema-prone skin. This review reads: "Feels great and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I've been told several times my under eyes look much better, but I think it's more of a plumping effect rather than correcting the discolouration itself." The rest of the Laneige range deserves a shout, too. The Sleeping Mask (£32) feels rich yet breathable on my skin, locking moisture without feeling heavy or greasy. The Lip Mask (£18.40) - a sister to Laneige's viral original - is just as nourishing, cushioning my lips overnight and leaving them soft by morning. As for the Bouncy & Firm Serum (£39), I'm on the fence. It sinks in quickly and integrates well with other products, but I haven't noticed a significant improvement in my skin since incorporating it into my routine. That said, it may be one of those slow-burn heroes that shines over time, so I'm not ruling it out just yet, especially as I only introduced it into my regime a month ago. Overall, the Bouncy & Firm range delivers on its promise, and the fact that I've topped up speaks for itself. In a sea of constantly changing beauty launches, that's no small feat.

It's basically "no makeup makeup," but for your fingernails. CeraVe's Hydrating cleanser made with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin — aka, all the good stuff to hydrate your face and remove makeup and oil without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Psst — a lot of reviewers with sensitive skin and acne swear by this, because it's super gentle *and* super effective.

Reviewers swear by these for gently lifting out sebum from pores and pimples and minimizing their appearance!

This vegan blend is easy for beginners to use without streaking or uneven patches, and although the tan is instant, the fade is nice and gradual. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, your new favorite alternative to Dior's (discontinued!!) Airflash that lives up to the hype — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering the full-size price of its competitor, the $54 Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed. Live Tinted's Huestick Corrector, which is a 4-in-1 eye, lip, and cheek multistick designed to neutralize dark spots and circles to help even out your skin tone before you use concealer or foundation. You can also use it as a buildable blush or lip color because it is truly a beauty MVP. L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray Mist so darn phenomenal at its job that one reviewer calls it "hairspray for your face," and several compare it to the $34 One/Size setting spray at triple the price. This ultra-fine formula sprays on lightly and leaves a natural finish, but just one spray is designed to LOCK IN your look for 36 hours.

Vitamin C Face Serum that packs a punch as powerful as the $30+ versions — reviewers swear by this for reducing dark spots, brightening skin, restoring tone, and giving skin a more radiant, firm look. This particular serum's secret is the 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which helps boost ~radiance~, in addition to the hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin E to help with hydration. Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask, which has already made itself a TikTok sensation — unsurprising, since the K-Beauty brand Medicube knocks it out of the park again and again. This mask goes on before bed and uses hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help even out skin tone and improve elasticity. A hair identifier spray makes shaving or dermaplaning *that* much more efficient — this not only highlights where your hair is so you don't miss a spot, but also moisturizes and protects skin while you're shaving. This is also a great way to ensure you aren't *over*-shaving areas, since you'll know right away if the hair is taken care of!
