MY ESSENTIAL SPRING BEAUTY BUYS + new discount code
My discount code will give you such a great deal...
Spring is finally here - hurrah. As the days get lighter and the air feels softer, it’s time to swap out the heavy layers of winter for beauty that feels effortless, radiant, and alive. The below are my top beauty-editor approved picks to put a Spring in your step.
LOOKFANTASTIC currently has a sale on but using my code SAMSILVERLF will get you an extra added discount. Here’s what I think is worth a purchase…
BIODANCE BIO-COLLAGEN MASKS: There are a lot of these collagen masks on the market now but these ones are my favourite by far. What sets them apart is the hydrogel format, which slowly melts into the skin, delivering a concentrated dose of hyaluronic acid and low molecular collagen - ingredients that hydrate deeply, smooth texture, and create that coveted glass-skin finish. The addition of niacinamide elevates it beyond a standard sheet mask, brightening and supporting the skin barrier. My shortcut to plumper, post-facial luminosity; fresher, glowier and more awake.

KERASTASE GLOSS ABSOLU GLAZE: It’s the "rich girl" hair secret that is actually just a thirty-second tweak. We’ve all been there: you’ve done the blow-dry, the waves are placed just so, but it still feels a bit too… done. The magic is in that final, effortless step that takes hair from fine to expensive. A couple of drops warmed in the palm of your hands and rubbed through adds that loose, luxe edge giving up to four days of anti-frizz protection while delivering high shine without a greasy residue. It’s giving effortless; leaving hair looking glassy, silky, and expensive.

MEDICUBE ZERO PORE PADS 2.0: It’s the skincare equivalent of a high-definition filter, but without the digital blur. This K-beauty icon is essentially a deep-clean and a resurfacing facial in one sixty-second swipe. The brilliance lies in the dual-textured pad: the embossed side gently lifts away the day’s debris and dead skin cells, while the smooth side floods the skin with a patented complex designed to actually tighten the appearance of pores without leaving your face feeling stripped or tight. Instead, it balances sebum and refines texture, leaving your skin looking remarkably clear, taut, and perfectly prepped for makeup. I use in the evening after cleansing, before skincare.

LA ROCHE POSAY CICLAPLAST BAUME: If there were a hall of fame for "unsexy but essential" skincare, this would be the undisputed headliner. It’s the ultimate beauty editor’s secret; the tube we all keep in our toiletry bags, bedside tables, and emergency kits because it quite literally fixes everything. Retinol redness? Yes. Burn from your GHD’s? Of course. Insect Bite? Yep. Huge red spot on your chin? Absolutely. The magic lies in the high-concentration Panthenol (Vitamin B5) which work in tandem to soothe inflammation and accelerate repair without that suffocating, greasy film. But the real reason it’s reached cult status? Its incredible range. It’s gentle enough for a baby’s nappy rash, yet sophisticated enough to heal a post-peel complexion or soothe a kitchen burn.

THE INKEY LIST GLYCOLIC EXFOLIATING BODY STICK: Exfoliating is boring, right? Takes ages and is messy. This is chemical exfoliation made incredibly chic and, more importantly, mess-free. Packed with 7% Glycolic Acid to dissolve dead skin cells and Salicylic Acid to clear out pores, it’s a targeted strike against those pesky bumps you might find on your arms (Keratosis Pilaris) and also ingrown hairs. The genius is in the solid stick format; it allows you to glide over problem areas with clinical precision without getting acid all over your hands.

REDKEN ONE UNITED MULTI-BENEFIT TREATMENT SPRAY: the ultimate overachiever; a multi-tasking powerhouse that effectively replaces five other bottles in your kit. I call it the “Swiss Army Knife” of haircare because it doesn’t just do one thing; it manages to prime, protect, and perfect in a single, weightless mist. Because it’s sulphate and paraben-free, it’s also a total hero for the whole family. Gentle enough to detangle a toddler’s post-bath knots without the tears, yet sophisticated enough to shield your professional blowout from 230 degree heat. From boosting shine to preventing breakage, it ensures every hair day is a good one.

ST TROPEZ EXPRESS MINI KIT: Got a weekend away booked or just want to try before you buy the full size? This glow kit contains a 50ml version of the best-selling express tan and a full size tanning mitt. The genius lies in the customisable depth: one hour for a sun-kissed hint, two for a golden glow, or three for a deep, “just-got-home-from-hols” bronze. The intelligent formula has no biscuit scent or streaks for an authentic and expensive finish. It’s also the perfect, fail-safe “starter tan” for the teens in the house; rinse-off control means zero high-stakes commitment (or risk to your sheets) and a guaranteed natural result.

KERASTASE GLOSS ABSOLU DISCOVERY KIT: Going away? Ditch the hotel shampoo (never a good thing, IMO) and take this set with you. The shortcut to expensive looking ‘salon’ hair; apply a coin-sized amount of the Gloss Absolu Cream to damp mid-lengths. This acts as your "heat shield" and frizz-proofing base. Once your hair is 100% dry, rub one pump of the Elixir Ultime between your palms until they feel warm. Instead of stroking it over the top (which can flatten volume), scrunch it into the ends and then lightly “halo” your hands over the surface to catch flyaways. The next day, don’t re-wash - use a tiny drop of the oil mixed with a pea-sized amount of the cream in your palm to create a bespoke balm, smoothing it over the ends to instantly revive that expensive, glassy sheen.
