HAUL OF FAME WINNING PRODUCTS AGAINST A PINK BACKGROUND

By now we’re sure you’re well aware of the Haul of Fame and all it entails – but just in case you’re new here, we’ll give you a quick rundown of what you’ve missed.  

We streamlined our breadth of incredible skin care, make up, body care and hair care into 12 categories. From the sunscreen you can’t live without to the scalp saviour you order in bulk, we asked you to vote for your favourites and – as a thank you – you received a 15% OFF code to put towards your next haul and automatic entry into our draw to win one of six spectacular prizes. With £500 Cult Beauty credit, £1000 Cult Beauty credit and two winners of the entire Haul of Fame collection (worth over £2,700) up for grabs, it was a beauty bonanza you wouldn’t have wanted to miss – even if we do say so ourselves! 

We’re now pleased to announce that voting has officially closed, and the Haul of Fame winners have been revealed. Drum roll, please: these picks are the absolute best in beauty…  

BEST SOCIAL TRENDSETTER

 

WINNER: Drunk Elephant – D-Bronzi Anti-pollution Sunshine Drops 

Taking social media by storm, these scroll-stopping drops give an enviable bronzy glow without the need to bask in the sun. Formulated with a chronopeptide that mimics the antioxidant benefits of vitamin D, omega-rich virgin marula and black currant seed oils, this serum delivers that just-got-back-from somewhere glow that flatters every complexion! 

BEST SCALP SAVIOUR

WINNER: Christophe Robin- Cleansing Purifying Scrub With Sea Salt 

The secret to a healthy mane? A healthy scalp — which is why the occasional gentle-yet-effective exfoliation should be an important step in your hair care routine. Putting scalp health in the spotlight, this salty scrub removes dirt, excess oil and product build-up. The result? A refreshed scalp and radiant lengths. 

BEST GLOW-GIVING BLUSH

 

WINNER: Charlotte Tilbuty – Matte Beauty Blush Wand 

Granting your wish for a radiant, lit-from-within glow, this easy-to-blend, liquid formula delivers a pop of colour that lasts all day long. A complexion-brightening staple, each shade harnesses the light-reflective power of Lumi-Blur technology that reveals a soft-focus finish.  

BEST SUPER-SHIELDING SPF

WINNER: La Roche-Posay – Anthelios Uvmune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF 50+ 

Providing the ultimate protection in sun care, this broad spectrum formula is light, non-greasy and ultra-resistant to water, sweat and sand. Ticking all our sun shielding boxes and more, this is heading straight into our sunny day haul *adds to bag*. 

BEST POUT PERFORMER

WINNER: Hourglass – Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm 

A multitasking marvel, this innovative 3-in-1 hybrid hydrates, coats lips in colour and delivers a high-shine finish. So, do away with the need for balms, glosses and lipsticks competing for space in your make up bag, this versatile balm delivers rich colour without compromising on hydration. 

 BEST CULT CONSCIOUS CHOICE 

WINNER: Weleda – Skin Food 

Harnessing natural oils and extracts from certified organic plants, this cream balances, soothes and strengthens skin. Creating a silky cocoon between skin and the drying effects of the elements, this rich – and we mean really rich – cream is jam-packed with lanolin, beeswax and glycerin, alongside sweet almond and sunflower oils to help soften and fortify skin.  

BEST STATE-OF-THE-ART TOOL

WINNER: Dr Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

A frontrunner in beauty tech, this medical-grade mask utilises LED light therapy to target blemishes and reduce the appearance of fine lines and winkles. It uses a total of 100 red LED lights (to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin to reduce wrinkles, sun spots, sun damage and redness) and 62 blue LED lights (which destroys bacteria and prevents future breakouts). We’re struggling to think of a reason not to snap one up… 

BEST AFFORDABLE SUPERSTAR

WINNER: Cerave – Blemish Control Cleanser 

There’s no need to break the bank; this gel-to-foam cleanser keeps breakouts at bay at a seriously affordable price. Infused with 2% salicylic acid and hectorite clay to absorb excess oil and minimise shine, this cleanser’s mission is clearr skin, lock in moisture and keep your skin barrier in tip-top shape. 

BEST SIGNATURE SCENT

WINNER: Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist

Transporting the senses to the luscious coast of Rio, this fragrance boasts notes of pistachio and almond blended with jasmine petals. Evoking a ‘holiday in a bottle’ scent, the mist provides a vibrant, long-lasting aroma and all-day freshness. We can almost hear the waves lapping against the shore…  

BEST EXCLUSIVE BRAND

WINNER: Saie Glowy Super Gel

Only available at Cult Beauty, this dew-boosting gel is infused with vitamin C to protect and revitalise skin. Formulated with 75% water, it looks beautiful under make up for that lit-from-within look, can be used as a featherlight highlight, or on top of foundation for maximum impact. Consider us impressed.  

 

BEST HOLY GRAIL HERO

WINNER: Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant

An essential in your skin care armoury when the breakout hits, this non-abrasive, anti-inflammatory formula champions clearer complexions. Ideal for blemish-prone, oily or combination types, it’s laced with BHA salicylic acid to remove dead skin cells both on the skin’s surface and within the pore. 

BEST CULT NEWCOMER

WINNER: JVN Complete Air Dry Cream

A trailblazer in hair care since its inception, JVN is one of the most loved members of the Queer Eye Fab Five. This nourishing styling cream gives hair a holiday from hot tools. Designed to enhance your natural texture, this lightweight cream grants soft hold, lustrous shine and natural softness to no-heat styles. 

Can we get a round of applause for our winners?
