It's autumn, and our make-up looks are getting darker. Ilia's new waterproof pencil gives smudge-free definition for up to 24 hours. Its avocado oil-coated pigments and omega fatty acids glide on without tugging, and it's ophthalmologist-tested, so it's safe for the waterline. We're reaching for Ink and Serif this month.

Finally, an SPF with coverage that doesn't block our pores. Unblock Screen was made for oily, acne-prone and reactive skin. It pairs zinc oxide with a soft-matte tint that blurs and evens skin without congestion or a white cast. It's daily protection that works as a light base, so there's one less layer on the skin.

A barrier-first treatment for skin dulled by colder weather and central heating. The mask combines bio-collagen with BYOMA's tri-ceramide complex to reduce water loss and restore moisture, while cica and astaxanthin calm redness. It dries to a clear film that peels off to leave skin looking plumper and even.

GHD has been El's hair brand since she was a teenager, and yes, she uses a straightener for her waves. The Sculpt adapts its temperature in real time to your hair, how fast you're styling and the angle you hold it, rather than staying at one fixed heat. Its slim plates handle sleek and sculpted looks alike, for more shine and less frizz with no unnecessary heat

A sweet treat that leaves you satisfied rather than spiking. Prelude's chocolate-covered dates are handmade in small batches by a local south-west London business. The date's natural fibre slows things down, and the chocolate makes it feel like an indulgence. It's our answer to the 4pm craving.

Diversity is one of the strongest markers of a healthy gut, and most of us don't get close to 30 plants a week. Each NEWROAD30 sachet holds 30 organic fruits, vegetables and pulses, freeze-dried with nothing else added, for your daily dose of fibre and polyphenols.

Lactoferrin is a protein your body already makes, and it's well studied for its antiviral and antibacterial activity. Leapfrog pairs 250mg of high-purity lactoferrin, from grass-fed milk, with zinc and vitamin C in a citrus chewable. As the season changes, this is in our bags for the first sign of a sniffle, for travel, and for crowded commutes.

Every cell membrane in your body is built from fats, and their balance matters. BodyBio's Balance Oil blends organic, cold-pressed safflower and flaxseed oils in a 4:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3, designed to support healthy cell membranes. It doesn't treat omega-6 as the enemy. It sees fats as building blocks, which is a nuanced, practitioner-led approach we rate.

Your environment shapes your nervous system more than most people realise. NEOM's Wind Down collection brings essential oil blends into your evenings through candles, diffusers and wellbeing pods, as a gentle signal to your body that the day is done. It's an easy ritual for darker evenings and earlier nights that we're putting in every room.

HUROM's slow, masticating design presses produce instead of shredding it at high speed. That means less heat and oxidation, and more of the colour, flavour and nutrients you're juicing for. It's an investment that makes fresh juice part of your routine rather than a weekend project.

Fibre is the most overlooked nutrient in the modern diet, and registered nutritionist Farzanah Nasser makes it delicious. Her debut book has 130 practical recipes built around feeding your gut microbiome, from simple weekday meals to dishes worth sharing. It's evidence-led and realistic, and it makes eating well feel like pleasure rather than a prescription.

Most air fryers cook in non-stick coatings. Fritaire uses a tempered glass bowl and stainless steel accessories, with no Teflon, PTFE, PFAS, BPA or phthalates on any surface that touches food. You can watch your food cook through the glass. It also cleans itself in about 10 minutes with a little soapy water, so there's no scrubbing.
