What are our team's favourite Superdrug items?
One brand that we can always rely on is Superdrug.
Their range of products across make-up, skincare, hair products, fragrances, and so much more - makes it an absolute haven of all things you need in those areas. Plus - you're never too far away from a Superdrug, meaning it's always easy to get your next haul in (and of course you can shop online too!).
Running low on your beauty faves or stocking up on essentials? We asked a few people at Student Beans - "What is your favourite item from Superdrug right now?". Find out their answers below, and even better, you can grab it all for less with a Superdrug student discount through Student Beans.
Tamara's picks: NYX Professional Make-up must-haves
"I'm a big fan of NYX. My go-to product from Superdrug at the moment is their Face Glue setting spray! I loved the marketing of it, which is what drew me to it in the first place.
It’s an ideal size for travelling, and I love to use it before and after my make-up for a glam that will last! I really need to try the Face Glue primer too, as that's been getting a lot of fab reviews..."
"Another from NYX is their Buttermelt Blush. They have a great shade range (I use Back and Butta), it's so pigmented and also smells delish?
Gives me a really nice, flushed look I’ve had a lot of compliments on! Blush is so back."
Mary-anne's pick: lip liner that lasts
"I'd say Rimmel Lip liner in cappucino, it's my go to!
I didn't need to think, it's pretty much my go-to staple for any lip combo I do, I literally couldn't do my makeup without it! "
Lydia's picks: long lashes and sun-protected skin
"This is my go-to mascara as it's affordable and INCREDIBLE.
I was never loyal to a mascara until I tried this one; it makes my lashes sooo long and increases volume too, and looks good all day."
"I love this because it's so good to keep in your bag in summer, and you can just swipe it on your face.
It's an invisible formula which means it doesn't leave white marks or look too greasy and I find my makeup sits nicely on top of it."
Sheeva's picks: nude glossy lips and dewy bright skin
"If you’re looking for the perfect gloss without breaking the bank, this Maybelline Lifter Gloss is the answer. I use the shade Toffee, which is that perfect ‘your lips but better’ brownish-nude that goes with literally everything.
Unlike those sticky glosses, this formula is smooth and hydrating thanks to the key ingredient Hyaluronic Acid. And the XL wand means you can coat your entire lips in one swipe, with minimal need for touch-ups. It’s my handbag staple!"
"Wearing SPF every day is my non-negotiable, and this Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV is my ultimate go-to. This is a 2-in-1 hybrid that combines a brightening serum with high-level sun protection.
It leaves a sheer, dewy tint that makes my skin look really healthy and contains mineral pigments to give an immediate ‘glow’.
On no-makeup days, this is all I wear to even out my skin tone, and for when I want extra coverage, it doubles up as a primer to help my foundation sit perfectly all day."
Sarah's picks: holiday glow in a bottle
"My fave thing from Superdrug would probably be the Aveeno body oil - I literally do not travel without it.
It smells incredible and makes your skin so soft, perfect for any holidays abroad."
Zara's picks: hydrated and smooth skin
"My current skincare favourites from Superdrug have honestly been such a staple for me. As a dry and sensitive skin girl (eczema-prone too), finding products that actually keep my skin comfortable can be a struggle — but the Aveeno moisturisers (daily + skin relief) have been amazing for daily use. It’s lightweight but still really hydrating, and it keeps my skin feeling calm and balanced all day."
"I’ve also recently been using the Medicube Zero Pore Pads and the hydration they give is actually unreal—my skin feels so smooth and refreshed after using them, and when I top it off with my Aveeno moisturiser? Elite combo. Definitely staying in my routine for years to come!"
