Princess Andre's go-to lip combo gives her instantly fuller looking lips
Princess Andre has given fans the low down on how to copy her full glossy pout, and the best part is it only uses two products to replicate it, and they're both under £30 When it comes to beauty tips, teens and adults alike have been turning to Princess Andre for some guidance on everything from simple everyday makeup to skincare secrets. The daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price has firmly cemented her status as a beauty icon, which is why when she shares an insight into her beauty routine, we sit up and take notes. Her recent beauty secret is how to replicate her full-looking lips, and good news for those who like to keep their makeup bags to a minimum, because it only takes two products to do. Sharing a snap of her glossy pout on Instagram, Princess shared her 'Lip combo', tagging Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Lipstick and Summer Fridays Lip Balm. The duo is perfect for creating a soft, natural look, and can be easily topped up on the go with minimal effort. Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Lipstick is already a cult classic, loved by countless other celebs like Emma Roberts, Salma Hayek, Nicole Kidman, and Amal Clooney all known to have worn the shade. The matte nude lippy is the perfect pink that suits all skin tones, and is just as likely to be worn on a red carpet as it is in the office. Priced at £29 it's not too pricey to pick up, and although the Original Pillow Talk shade is the most loved, you can also pick it up in several other hues including fair, medium and intense. As well as giving a great colour payoff, the Pillow Talk Lipstick also helps create the illusion of fuller lips. With a hydrating formula that features light reflecting pigments to make your lips appear softer, fuller and more youthful, it also contains orchid and lipstick tree extracts to nourish your pout and has a long-lasting effect. To double up the plumped effect, Princess finishes with a slick of Summer Fridays' Lip Butter Balm, which is priced at £23. Available in eight shades and scents including vanilla beige, brown sugar and coral-coloured poppy, you can pick the one that best suits your skin tone and the effect you want. It adds a subtle sheer swipe of colour to your lips, and contains a 100% vegan formula that not only hydrates, but conditions and soothes dry lips for immediate shine and moisture. The balm has been highly praised by Sephora shoppers, who've given it a 4.7 star rating. One wrote: 'very good. I bought a few months ago and I still have tons left! It smells amazing and feels so nice on ur lips and gives such a nice shine.' Another added: 'Great lip product made my lips so hydrating loved it bit overpriced but totally understand why the price was set this high nice shades too which made it more inclusive.'

One/Size's Mattifying Setting Spray VS. Glass Skin Setting Spray
What if I told you the number one selling product at Sephora isn't a trendy Summer Fridays Lip Balm or viral Sol de Janeiro body mist? That's right—the top-selling beauty product at Sephora is actually a setting spray. Specifically, the One/Size On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray. The beloved formula locks makeup in place (no transferring or smudging) for up to 16 hours, all while absorbing excess oil so your skin looks nice and matte. Even Beyoncé is a fan; she used the spray to keep her glam in tact during a three-hour rain-soaked performance. Oh, and Cosmo readers love On Til' Dawn too—it won a 2024 Readers' Choice Beauty Award for best setting spray. Today, the iconic formula got an upgraded counterpart: the Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray. Think of it as the glowy, skincare-infused sister to the original formula. Inspired by the rise of glass skin, this new version is designed to hydrate while delivering a radiant, dewy finish that lasts all day. I got an early preview of the new Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray and have been testing it against the original to see how they compare. Keep reading for the full rundown—and whether or not the new launch is worth the same level of hype as the OG. I first started using this setting spray when it launched a few years ago. I was commuting to grad school (via a 20-minute walk and a 30-minute subway ride) in the thick of NYC's September humidity, and needed something to help keep my makeup in place during the day. So I gave the formula a try after seeing so much hype on TikTok. It has a hairspray-like finish that feels more heavy-duty than any setting mist I'd used before. I will say that it wasn't exactly hydrating on my dry skin, but once it set, my concealer, blush, and even mascara stayed put for the entire day until I swiped it off with a micellar water-soaked pad at night. Beauty editor Beth Gillette calls it her "going-out secret weapon" for her long and sweaty nights bar hopping around Brooklyn. "I come from the days of spritzing my face with legit hairspray to make my makeup last longer (2014 Pinterest was a scary time in beauty). But the One/Size Setting Spray is basically that, reimagined. It doesn't feel like I'm putting anything on my face, nor does it make my skin feel sticky or tacky. But it seriously locks down my makeup and leaves my skin looking matte and smooth. I have a mini that I take on every hot-weather vacation. I doused myself in it every day of Coachella—I truly cannot be without it in my makeup routine, ever." As someone with dry skin who lives for a dewy finish, I was ecstatic when I heard about this launch. The original mattifying formula was never quite right for me—my skin is so dry that if I skip moisturizer, it starts to feel tight and borderline itchy. So anything even slightly matte is too much for my face. To be fair, I totally understand the hype around the OG. If you want makeup to last through sweat, heat, and humidity—and dryness isn't an issue—it absolutely holds up. But the glass formula? It's a game-changer for a glowy finish and/or anyone with dry skin. Patrick Starrr (the founder of One/Size) described the new version as a formula that 'melts your powder into place,' and after testing it over a full face of makeup, I totally get it. It leaves this seamless, glassy finish—like you can't tell where my blush starts or my concealer ends. Everything just blends into one glowy, skin-like layer. It also makes my face feel refreshed and hydrated when I spritz it—the formula is packed with ceramides and ginger flower extract to help nourish the skin while keeping your makeup locked in place. It gives me the hydration I need, with the same impressive staying power One/Size is known for. I wore it over my glam in the office and then to three hours of intensely watching a Knicks game at a bar, and it didn't budge. I also love the upgraded pump applicator over the original aerosol—it feels more skincare-forward, more precise when spraying, and of course better for the environment. The best part? The formula is also non-comedogenic, so you don't have to worry about it exacerbating or triggering acne while ya wear it. Truly no notes. The new Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray is a heaven-sent for anyone with dry skin or after that ultra-smooth, runway-esque glassy finish. If you prefer a matte look, the original is still your best bet. But if dewy, hydrated skin is your goal—or if your complexion tends to feel tight by midday—this one's worth adding to your cart. I don't usually gush over setting sprays, but I must give credit where credit is due: Patrick Starrr really nailed it with this one.
