We’re in the midst of a black cherry beauty takeover - these 6 products are actually worth adding to basket

No doubt you already know about Elemis Pro-collagen cleansing balm, a firm favourite with beauty lovers for over 20 years and officially the number one facial cleanser in the UK. Well, the black cherry version may be even better. I know, it’s a big claim but hear me out.

Alongside all the ingredients we love in the original cleanser, like rose wax and hardworking oils, this also has the added benefit of the most delicious scent too. Thanks to the addition of almond, vanilla and cherry notes, your end-of-day cleanse now smells as comforting as a Bakewell tart while also hydrating the skin and strengthening the skin barrier - win, win.

Another hero product, Glossier’s Balm Dotcom needs no introduction. The non-sticky, non-greasy, nourishing formula makes it one of the best lip balms around and now it comes in a trending black cherry hue.

When worn alongside the coordinating black cherry lip liner, you’ve got the perfect rich winter lip, however, when worn alone, it’s a shade that’s sheer enough to carry into spring and summer too.

As someone who isn’t usually drawn to foodie fragrances, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about Who Is Elijah’s newest perfume, Cherry Fiesta, however, I have to say, it left me pleasantly surprised.

Rather than smelling heavily sweet and moody, it’s a flirty, playful and fun scent, which combines cherry heart notes with zesty mandarin and soft florals. It’s a fragrance that instantly improves your mood as soon as you spritz it and doesn’t lose its potency throughout the day. I dare you not to wear this and feel great.

If you’re wondering what cherry can do on an ingredient level, Fenty’s gel cleanser has the answer. Infused with three forms of vitamin-C cherry, it brightens skin to leave it looking radiant and more even.

Alongside the fruity complex, you’ll also find niacinamide, to improve skin texture, and soothing aloe juice, making this a great cleanser for those with blemish-prone skin or who want a squeaky-clean cleanse without any irritation. I like to use it alongside the Elemis cleansing balm for a cherry-infused double cleanse.

Soap and Glory have just launched a new limited edition cherry range, including a body wash, body lotion and body scrub.

My favourite however has to be the body butter. Infused with shea and cocoa butter, it’s incredibly nourishing while the cherry scent is sweet and heady yet quickly sinks in so as not to overpower. A great hard-working body moisturiser ideal for soothing dry winter skin.

Lastly, we’re back to make-up and while Huda’s Black Cherry Blush Filter may not be a new launch, it’s too good not to mention. A few dots of the liquid formula are all you need for the perfect wash of dark berry colour that looks incredible on all skin tones.
