Take a peek at what’s in our physical and digital baskets…


We wouldn’t be Student Beans if we weren’t highlighting the trendiest products on the market — which you can get for a little cheaper with our student discounts by the way. You’re very welcome. 


From beauty products to fashion staples, we’ve got you sorted with the latest picks that are trending all over socials. You've probably seen these products littered across your FYP, tempting you to try them out. But which ones are worth it?


Check out what's hot online and how you can get it cheaper with a student discount — we love them and we know you’ll love them, too!


Trending products


Bubble Skincare’s Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturiser


Skincare is selfcare. Serums, toners, SPF — we love it all. But the absolute holy grail of skin has to be moisturiser. No dryness here, no thank you.


For ultra-lucious skin, we’re loving Bubble Skincare’s Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturiser. And why? 


  • It contains Aloe Leaf Juice to protect, soothe, and moisturise the skin. 

  • It features Avocado Oil which aids in reducing redness and nourishing the skin.

  • It has Vitamin E to restore skin cell health and to protect against environmental stressors.


It’s the perfect boost of hydration for normal to dry skin types, and you can use our ASOS student discount to get 10% off.


ASOS currently have a sale, with the Bubble Moisturiser on 20% off but if you use our ASOS student discount, you can get an additional 10% off. From £16, down to £12.80, then finally check out at £11.52. Bargain!

MONDAY’s SMOOTH shampoo


Hair is a security blanket for many of us, with haircare being just as important as skin. Every good hair day starts with a good shampoo, and we’re obsessed with MONDAY’s SMOOTH shampoo.


It claims to soften and smooth coarse and frizzy hair, as well as taming flyaways.


It’s certified cruelty-free, and is suitable for curly and wavy hair types that are hard to manage. 


With Avocado Oil, Wheat Protein, and Coconut Oil, give your hair the spa treatment it’s thirsty for, using our Superdrug student discount.


MONDAY's Smooth shampoo is currently on offer at Superdrug — buy one, get a second one half price. Add the Superdrug 10% student discount into the mix and you'll be able to pick up 2x 350ml bottles for £6.73, instead of £9.98 full price or £7.48 without student discount.

COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray


Another haircare fave is the COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray. 


British summertime can be unpredictable at the best of times — rain, sun, sleet?! All in the span of 10 minutes.


To ensure your hair stays sleek, Color Wow’s Dream Coat spray is designed to combat humidity and maintain straight, frizz-free hair. 


Hair wash days are not everyone’s favourite, but Dream Coat spray makes it so much easier — just spray on damp hair and blowdry to activate. Sleek has never been so simple.


Use our Cult Beauty student discount for a cheaper basket.


Use our Cult-Beauty student discount for 20% off, making this 200ml bottle of Dream Coat only £21.60 instead of £27!

Wonderskin’s Wonder Blading All-Day Lip Stain


Now we may spend a lot of time trying to prevent stains (white tee, coffee mishaps, spag bol) but this is one stain we won’t be avoiding.


Wonderskin’s Wonder Blading All-Day Lip Stain is a best-seller for good reason.


Up to 10 hours of lip-wearing colour, you can guarantee a low maintenance experience that is water-proof, transfer-proof, and smudge-proof. Kiss, kiss.


Grab yours now with a Boots student discount for 10% off.


Originally costing £18, you can grab the Wonderskin lip stain for 10% off using the Boots student discount, getting it for just £16.20. Just make sure you have a Boots Advantage Card!

MUA's Beauty Balm


After a dreary and dull winter, our skin needs a little glow, a little pick-me-up to bring some life back into our sallow faces.


For that natural-looking flushed vibe, MUA's Beauty Balm blush delivers. 


A handy on-to-go applicator, you can top up the colour whenever and wherever you are (some even say it's a dupe for the Rhode blush!).


A lightweight formula, Beauty Balm gives a satiny, subtle-but-buildable flush that melts smoothly into the skin without any greasiness.


Grab yours with a Superdrug student discount.

We're loving MUA's Beauty Balm blush because it's a super affordable dupe of the Rhode pocket blush and comes in a number of different shades. Use the Superdrug student discount for 10% off (dropping from £4 to £3.60) and make use of Superdrug's current 3 for 2 offer on selected MUA to revamp your makeup kit.

Nike Air Rifts


From your head to your toes. We’re obsessed with the Nike Air Rifts — slide into these split–toe shoes for ultimate comfort, it feels like you’re wearing nothing at all. 


Lightweight and breathable, Nike Air Rifts are the ideal shoe to take you from lecture learning to errand running. They might be a statement but it’s a ‘wow, I’m never taking these off’ statement. Comfort and style. 


Walk a mile in these shoes with a Size? student discount.

These are a firm fave — who doesn't love an animal print? It is a neutral. Use the Size? student discount for 20% off and grab a pair of Nike Air Rifts for £96 (£120 full-price)!

Astro shorts


In a world where we’re smashing gender barriers in all aspects, we’re all for wardrobe pieces that give androgyny. 


We’re loving these Astro shorts from Weekday made from 100% cotton.


Taking you from spring to autumn, from your wardrobe to your boyfriend’s, these shorts are the coolest addition to your uni wardrobe.

Use our Weekday student discount to keep your wardrobe full and your bank account fuller.

A staple for every wardrobe, we're grabbing these in all the colours and using the Weekday student discount for 20% off — making these only £31.99 down from £39.99.

Aviator sunglasses


Suns out, glasses on.


Practical and stylish? Sign us up.


We're loving these aviator sunglasses from ASOS; they're the perfect pair of sunnies.


Oversized? Check. Uber cool? Check. Can be bought with an ASOS student discount? Check, check, check.


Protect your peepers from those bright rays and accessorise every look with ease.

Sunglasses that cover your entire face is a vibe. Use our ASOS student discount to save 10% off these specs, dropping them from £14 to £12.60.
