March 20th marks International Happiness Day and if you’re a beauty junkie like me, then I’m certain these buys will help to boost your mood and bring a healthy dose of happiness. 

From summer scents to charity collaborations there’s something for everyone in this round-up of dopamine-inducing products… 

How we chose the products:

This is my edit of products that I’ve tried and tested that are a joy to use. The criteria for the edit was simple: does it make you feel good, will it look good on your shelf, or does it do good for others? 

Why you should trust me

I’m Hello! Fashion’s Junior Beauty Writer and have been working in the beauty industry since I graduated with a journalism degree in 2018. I’m particularly passionate about sensorial beauty and the influence beauty products can have on making you feel like the best version of yourself. I spend my days speaking to industry experts about their tips and tricks and can often be found interviewing celebrities on the products they can’t be without.

    This matte lipstick is anything but drying thanks to a blend of peptides and vitamins, plus the packaging is a sight to behold.
