We're always searching for the latest best selling beauty products around the world, because if so many people are buying one thing - it means it's got to be an amazing beauty buy, right?
One that's actually worth all the hype (and the price tag).
So, we've searched high and low for the ultimate popular products that are new on the beauty block, so you can refill your make-up bag with the essentials, that are both beauty editor, and reader, approved...
Sisley’s Black Rose Cream
Shop now: Sisley Black Rose Infusion Cream for £128 from Selfridges
The story began in 2011 when Sisley launched the Black Rose Cream Mask, which achieved cult status in record time (it’s France’s No. 1 bestselling mask, with one million units sold worldwide in the past 5 years). Celeb super-fans include Emily Ratajkowski and Jourdan Dunn and you know something's great when it creeps onto the A-listers' must-have lists...
From the success of the BRCM, we know the new Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream will be the next big seller for the cult beauty brand, already low in stock on Selfridges. Yes, it will set you back £128, but it's totally worth it for plumped, youthful and glowing skin.
Topshop’s Glow Pot
Shop now: Glow Pot in Fascinate for £10 from Topshop
Each year, Topshop sells enough Glow Pot product to reach a height FOUR times taller than The Shard, when stacked. Pretty impressive for a highlighter.
The latest shade to join the Glow Pot family is 'Fascinate' - a soft pink pearlescent colour that blends into cheekbones for ultimate illumination. The cult cream highlighter is just a tenner, so a great purse-friendly buy for your best selling beauty bag.
