Now its officially the season of knitwear, pumpkin-spiced lattes and saying no to plans in favour of Strictly - our obsession with Love Island season 11 seems like a distant memory. The Islanders may no longer be squabbling in a Mallorca villa, but since leaving the show, generously shared plenty of tea, show secrets and beauty recommendations.
The latest make-up trick to get our ears waggling is served by indisputable icon Harriett Blackmore who shared that her all-time favourite base for filming is actually a £9 BB cream from Amazon. We love an affordable queen.
©Instagram: Harriett Blackmore Speaking via heats Self-care Sunday, the 24-year-old shared, I always wear the LOreal Age Perfect BB Cover, £9 I use it all the time. People always ask me what I use on my skin and its that.
She continued, I love it because its just so affordable and the coverage is amazing. Obviously, its a BB Cream and its so good for your skin.
Whenever I go out, all my Instagram DMs are asking, What foundation are you wearing? And Im like, Its not foundation, its a BB cream. Its so affordable, I tell everyone to buy it. I had a meeting with my manager who asked what I was wearing and I was like, Babe, you need to get this!
1. LOreal Age Perfect BB Cover Cream
LOrealRrp:8.99View offerAlternative retailersBoots£11.99View offer The Age Perfect Skin Tint is one of LOreals lesser-known products, but has all the makings of a true masterpiece. Its lightweight whilst delivering ample coverage. It evens out redness, contains SPF50 and is infused with skin-loving ingredients that improve your complexion over time.
One chuffed customer wrote, So pleased with this. It’s a light foundation that spreads easily over the face. It feels lovely on my skin. Perfect for more mature complexions. Covers well.
Another added, Really nice product, good coverage with a very high SPF of 50, colour good for me at a very good price.
As well as a sublime BB Cream, Harriett also shared a genius beauty tip endorsed by plenty of MUAs and celebs including Kylie Jenner and Margot Robbie.
On the show, we used the Lansinoh nipple cream, £6.59 on our lips, Harriett told heat. That sounds so weird but it honestly gives you the most amazing glow. Everyone in the villa would just be putting nipple cream on their lips. I honestly cant use anything else.
