British beauty is on the rise. In fact, research carried out by No7 found that searches for ‘British Beauty’ have risen by 196% over the last few months in light of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee taking place this weekend.
Meanwhile, beauty brands big and small are marking the occasion with everything from Jo Malone’s Britain Cologne Collection (a series of fragrances reminiscent of seaside air and salty walks) and Elemis’ bestselling and iconic Pro Collagen favourites to Charlotte Tilbury’s Platinum Jubilee make-up kit.Because, really, what better time (and excuse) to celebrate a bit of homegrown beauty?
Below, the best limited edition collections and cult buys as chosen by Women’s Health.
Jo Malone London
lookfantastic.com
£56.00
What could be more British than fragrance brand Jo Malone? A new limited edition Scents of Britain Cologne Collection, perhaps? Inspired by the good ol’ British seaside, the latest colognes, including the brand’s iconic Wood Sage & Sea Salt, will have you dreaming of fresh, salty air and seaside walks with just a single spritz.
Founded by Sam Jameson, this bath and bodycare brand does things differently. Not only is Soapsmith all about tapping into the power of scent but all of its London-made products come inspired by the city’s creativity. The Walthamstow hand wash, for instance, pays reference to William Morris and his iconic ‘the strawberry thieves’ print.
It might be inspired by the Mediterranean, but Templespa’s roots are firmly grounded in the UK – and have been since spa seekers, Liz and Mark Warom, thought up the brand some years ago. The latest formula from the duo is a new vitamin C-enriched serum promising serious glow, dewy skin and a scent on par with freshly squeezed orange juice.
A tried and true British beauty brand, Elemis is celebrating its heritage with a new limited edition collection featuring its bestselling Pro Collagen range. It features the OG Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30 and Pro-Collagen Night Cream–and with a saving of almost £50. Run, don’t walk.
There’s not much we don’t love about Aurelia London. Be it the CBD packed Super Serums, new and limited edition Luxe Glow Collection or probiotic lip balms, the brand stays true to its sustainable promise and offers up soothing formulas that tend to sensitive skin.
