Cult Beauty – An Insiders Guide to the Worlds Best Beauty Buys

24-06-2009   


 
 Backed by advice from an elite panel of top beauty experts, www.cultbeauty.co.uk has created a savvy and authoritative beauty source and guide online. Cult Beauty takes no beauty advertising so that no product recommendation is influenced by anything other than merit. Their mission is to de-mystify the beauty industry, combining consumer trials with the vast knowledge of their experts to filter out the blaggers and braggers from the gems that do what they say on the tin, to create a Beauty Hall of Fame that we can shop.

The ‘cult' concept is the brain-child of database expert and systems analyst and product junkie Jessica Moore and was co-founded with journalist Jessica Gearhart and PR consultant Alexia Inge.

£16.00

Cult Beauty

 
Product description

For those who don't like faffing around when they go out in the sun this is the perfect product. The lightweight, water resistant, non-greasy formula has the added bonus of not needing to be rubbed in. If you team that with the innovative 360 degree, continuous touch-spray bottle that omits a fine, even mist at any angle without clogging, a moisturising vitamin E enriched formula and broad spectrum UVA, UVB and environmental protection, you have the wonder product of the summer on your hands.

Why it's cult

Peter Thomas Roth Continuous Sunscreen Mist is a great gadget for the beach, robust staying power, it stops you burning and you don't have to make sure you have wiped every grain of sand off your skin before applying because you don't have to rub it in. The brilliantly designed spray mechanism is especially good if you don't want to ask that greasy guy blatantly checking you out from behind his sunglasses to 'do your back'. It is also perfect for kids.

 
 

Silk Pillowcase

by Silkskin

£35.00

  Cult Beauty


Product description

Silkskin's hypoallergenic, organic silk pillowcase helps maintain the natural moisture levels in your skin. Silk is a natural protein fibre that contains the same 18 amino acid building blocks as your skin. The smooth surface helps protect skin from developing lines or deeper creases at a crucial time of rest and repair. This pillowcase also protects hair that can get caught on cotton pillowcases and break as you move and also helps prolong your blow dry.

Why it's cult

This is the first company to realise how brilliantly the natural properties of silk could work as an integral part of your beauty regime, plus dust and house mites do not like to live in silk so this is brilliant for people with allergies. Nigella Lawson is a massive fan. We love all products that help make us beautiful without ANY effort at all.
