Do-It-All Stick in Teddy

First up is this multi-use blusher stick. If you know me, then you know I like to do my makeup as quickly as possible, so this sort of product is right up my street. I went for the shade "Teddy", which is a beautiful brownish pink. What I love about it is that the stick can be used on your cheeks, lips and eyes, so you can basically do a whole makeup look in one go. The product itself is super-pigmented, and the creamy formula means you can swipe it on and blend it in with your fingertips in seconds. One thing I will say is that the stick itself is a little smaller compared to similar products from other brands, which means you do have to apply a little more product on the cheeks, but other than that, I really can't fault it.

Satin Lipstick in Crème Brûlée

Something that H&M really excel at is lip products, and this Satin Lipstick is my favourite. When I first used this, I couldn't believe how pigmented it was. I went for the shade Crème Brûlée, and one swipe added the most gorgeous, deep nude hue to my lips. It has a soft, velvety finish and lasts impressively well for a £10 product. In fact, since adding this to my collection, I've reached for it pretty much everyday. It is worth noting that although it contains hyaluronic acid, I do find the formula a little drying, so make sure to have a lip balm on hand for in between applications.

Skin-Perfecting Foundation

One product I was quite wary to try was this foundation. I'm very fussy when it comes to base products and prefer a lighter skin tint, but I wanted to make sure I tried a range of products out before doing this review. Although this isn't a foundation I would reach for everyday, it is ideal for those times when you want a little more coverage. It really does add a flawless finish, offering buildable coverage with a luminous matte effect. I found that it evened out my skin tone and managed to cover up some blemishes, too. Similar to the lipstick, it has a matte finish, so although it's a great choice for oily skin, dry skin types might want to layer up on hydration first.

Another thing H&M is great at is creating some of the best mascaras on the market. Although there are a few options on offer, I like this volumising option best. The larger brush is ideal for adding a bit of drama to your lashes, and manages to coat the lashes without looking clumpy. I always reach for this when I want my eye makeup to have a bit more oomph.

I wasn't lying when I said that H&M knows what it's doing when it comes to lip products. This is probably one of my favourite lip oils of all time, but probably not for the reasons you'd expect. Normally I love a lip oil as it gives a super-glossy finish, but this is a more subtle option that adds a light sheen. However, it's so hydrating. Seriously, this feels like butter to apply. With a formula enriched with 45% squalene, it's no surprise that my chapped lips love it.

Adventure Seeker Eau de Toilette

This is, hands down, my favourite H&M perfume of all time. Before we get into the notes, it's important for me to say that all of these H&M fragrances are a lot lighter than luxury perfumes and often need topping up throughout the day, but they smell so good and are so affordable that it doesn't really matter in my opinion. This particular scent is fresh and woody, with notes of spicy black pepper, tobacco, leather and bergamot. However, as the fragrance settles on the skin, warming amber and musk start to come through, which makes it smell even more expensive.

Fearless Optimist Eau de Toilette

In contrast to the above, Fearless Optimist is a super-sweet, juicy scent that is perfect for the new season. I recently took this on holiday and couldn't get enough. With notes of pistachio, caramel, praline and candy apple, spritzing this gourmand fragrance feels like enjoying your favourite ice cream on a sun-soaked getaway.

Modern Minimalist Eau de Toilette

If clean-smelling scents are more your thing, let me introduce you to Modern Minimalist. This fragrance reminds me of popular perfumes such as Maison Margiela's Lazy Sunday Morning and Byredo's Mojave Ghost. It contains lots of delicate, fresh notes such as cotton flower, eucalyptus and cashmere wood and smells like fresh laundry hanging out to dry on a crisp, spring morning.

Chic Socialite Eau de Toilette

If you want to smell expensive on a budget, then you need to try Chic Socialite from H&M. It's a floral scent at heart, but it's a somewhat modern take on a more powdery aroma. It contains notes of marshmallow, vanilla and cotton candy which add a sweet, playful touch, but thanks to bergamot and jasmine, it's not overly sweet or sickly. Instead, it feels youthful yet sophisticated, and is perfect for everyday.

H&M

Creative Visionary Eau de Toilette

Another one of my top choices for the spring and summer months, Creative Visionary is packed with tropical notes such as coconut water, guava and tiare. It has a super juicy, fruity base that sparkles on the skin and immediately transports you to warmer weather. I will definitely be taking this on my next trip.

Nail Polish in Pudding Cup

Yep, you read that right. H&M nail polishes are only £4, and they are such a great option for doing your nails at home. The brush is the perfect size making them easy to apply, and two coats will leave you with a glossy, pigmented finish. Do they last as long as an in-salon manicure? Definitely not. Are they an ideal option for between appointments? Absolutely. There are so many chic shades on offer, and I'm currently obsessed with Pudding Cup, a light, chocolatey brown.
