One excited shopper wrote: “It’s a classic for a reason! The original multi-task tool! I used it to moisturise my dry, cracked cuticles, keep my lips hydrated, seal in my moisturiser and eye cream, and soothe any cracked patches on my hands. A must-have for saving space in your makeup kit!”
A second beauty fan wrote: “So hydrating and creamy, loved it so much. Immediately recommended it to my mother.”
Another happy shopper wrote: “This cream is one of the few universal creams that is suitable for all occasions and has settled in my cosmetic bag for a long time. But as for me, this is not skincare cosmetics for every day! This is exactly a sos-remedy or emergency-remedy that works as a lifesaver for your skin. It will soften any irritation on your skin overnight (or in 8 hours, as the manufacturer suggests).”
Beauty deal of the week
Charlotte Tilbury fans can bag one of the renowned brand’s newest moisturisers for less right now.
Shoppers who purchase the Magic Water Cream Forever Kit will bag a 50ml tub of the “hydrating” gel cream, alongside a 50ml refillable capsule of the cream. The set is usually priced at £148, but costs just £88.80 – a total saving of £59.20.
The Water Cream is the newest version of the brand’s cult Magic Cream. Unlike the rich formula of its counterpart, the newest version offers a gel-like consistency that “smooths” and “plumps” your complexion.
Usually priced at £79 when bought on its own, this skin-revival moisturiser uses water fusion technology to provide 100 hours worth of hydration for “glass skin”. It also boasts niacinamide and a biopeptide complex for a smoother complexion and more even skin tone.
Another reason why we love this deal from the sale is the addition of the 50ml refillable capsule of the cream, which would usually set you back £69. This means you can add it to the refillable jar once you are finished, meaning you are essentially getting two creams in the deal.
From leaving skin “fully hydrated” to leaving skin with “less wrinkles”, there are many reasons why the Magic Water Cream has impressed many beauty enthusiasts since it was launched early last year.
The Magic Watr Cream Forever Kit can be bought for £88.80, down from £148, in the Charlotte Tilbury Sale here.
If you’re not a fan of heavily fragranced formulas, then this cream might not be for you, as one three-star review read: “I liked the shininess but did not enjoy the fact that it was heavily fragranced.”
The celeb-loved Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Skin Protectant is down from £31 to £24.80 at Boots for today only, You can shop the discount online only here. If you do happen to miss this flash sale, then Amazon has it even cheaper for £16.90.
Meanwhile, if you’re maybe looking for something a little more affordable, then a similar option is Revolution Beauty’s Pro Miracle Balm (42ml). Priced at £5.60, this skin balm is an “all-in-one protectant balm” that can be used anywhere on the body.
