Take a quick glance through my wardrobe and you’ll be able to tell straight away that I’m a fan of & Other Stories. While I am by no means a fashion connoisseur, I do know that as a retailer, it does a rather great job of offering up chic yet wearable fashion options. And although I do love perusing the fashion section, when I’m shopping for new products, there’s really only ever one thing on my mind: beauty.
As more and more high-street stores amp up their beauty offerings, it is & Other Stories that sets the bar. In fact, in the past, when other brands offered up little more than budget hand creams at till points, & Other Stories had a whole collection of beauty goodies on offer. When it launched in 2013, it had enlisted cult perfume brand Byredo’s founder, Ben Gorham, and world-renowned makeup artist Lisa Butler to consult on & Other Stories fragrance, skincare and colour offerings. Twelve years later, and things just keep getting better and better. With pretty packaging, great product efficacy and super-impressive price tags, there’s little I can fault.
So next time you’re browsing the dresses, shoes or accessories (I mean, they’re all good), why not pop some beauty products in your virtual basket too?
If you’re not sure what to choose, let me guide you to the best beauty buys & Other Stories has to offer.

The Best & Other Stories Perfumes
1. & Other Stories Perfect Pistachio Roll-On Perfume
Fresh and fruity but a little bit milky and warming at the same time, this pistachio perfume also carries notes of candied vanilla and white chocolate. It's the ultimate sweet, summer spritz. Plus, this roll-on version is perfect for travelling.
2. & Other Stories Fleur De Mimosa
Speaking of summer scents, I love Fleur De Mimosa. Think refreshing bergamot, warm cedarwood and sweet almond.
3. & Other Stories Sicilian Sunrise Body Mist
Lemon, grapefruit, pear and musk are key notes in this fresh and citrusy summer scent, making it the holiday body mist to shop.
The Best & Other Stories Bodycare
4. & Other Stories Sardonyx Fire Body Cream
Slathering yourself in a rich, nourishing body cream that also smells divine post-bath really is a feeling that can't be beaten, isn't it? This amber and vanilla scented cream leaves my limbs feeling nourished well into the next day.
5. & Other Stories Miami Muse Body Wash
If there's one thing I can't not pick up when I'm shopping in & Other Stories, it's shower gel. They're affordable and chic, with bathroom-filling scents. I highly recommend.
6. & Other Stories Perle de Coco Glow Body Scrub
This really is one of my favourite scents from the brand, and the smoothing scrub features shimmering pearls to leave your skin looking radiant.
The Best & Other Stories Makeup
7. & Other Stories Complexion Tint
Cream makeup gets a big tick in my book, especially when it comes to foundation. One swipe of this sheer formula and I am good to go. I'm particularly loving the glowy finish it has for summer.
8. & Other Stories Tinted Lip Serum
Silky and nourishing, these lip serums are rich in peptides to make for the most comfortable wear and glossy finish.
9. & Other Stories Cheek & Lip
Nothing makes me happier than a multi-use beauty product, and this is just about my favourite going. Simply warm the cream up with your fingers, and blend it into the apples of the cheeks and onto the lips.
The Best & Other Stories Nail Care Products
10. & Other Stories Silky Screen Nail Colour
I'm obsessed with these long-lasting and easy-to-use nail polishes, and this shade is my personal favourite.
11. & Other Stories Scarlet Shade Nail Colour
If you prefer a pop of colour, you can't go wrong with this scarlet red shade.
12. & Other Stories Base Coat
This will act as a protective barrier between your nails and your coloured polish to prevent any staining.
The Best & Other Stories Candles
13. & Other Stories Punk Bouquet Scented Candle
This floral but fresh-scented candle is one that I'm sure everyone will love. I was gifted one last year and have already repurchased it twice.
14. & Other Stories Arabesque Wood Scented Candle
If you prefer woody, more unisex scents, you need to try Arabesque Wood. With notes of lemon, ginger, moss and agarwood, this candle smells way more expensive than its £23 price tag.
15. & Other Stories Déjà Vu Mood Scented Candle
With raspberry, Elemi resin and cotton candy at the forefront of this candle, Déjà Vu Mood manages to keep its fruity base without smelling too childish.
