If you’re trying to buy less and reduce product wastage – how very Aquarius of you -, it can be tricky to know when to justify a beauty purchase and when to sadly walk away. But making greener choices doesn’t mean you have to deprive yourself, it just means being more intentional when you tap your credit card.
But, if you’re desperate to sustainably scratch that itch, here are the beauty products you should invest in according to your zodiac sign. And if you believe in zodiac signs, you almost definitely believe in fate too, so who are we to argue with a celestial shopping list that happened to find us? A Taurus certainly wouldn’t.
Aries (March 21st – April 19th)
You’re always on the move and like it that way. So as tired as your skin looks, we know better than to suggest a night in, considering your trusted inner circle probably hasn’t ever seen where you live. What you really need is something to wake up your complexion and keep your makeup in place for glam that goes the distance, just like you.
Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix Setting Spray – AED 135.00
This 93 per cent natural origin setting spray by Make Up For Ever promises to set makeup for at least 24 hours, making it perfect for a long day of being an Aries. For an instant pick-me-up, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera offer deep hydration for dewiness, stat. Since you’re always striving for the best (classic ram), it has a new and improved pump that delivers a finer mist to absorb into the skin even quicker.
Taurus (April 20th – May 20th)
Taurus, if you have a shopping addiction you can’t seem to quit, blame your zodiac sign. Taurus’ love to surround themselves with beautiful things and find it difficult not to treat themselves, so if the non-Taurus people in your life don’t ask for financial advice, don’t take it personally. Luxurious beauty products that don’t cost a small fortune can be your first step to making better financial decisions. Ready to save some money without giving up the lush life?
Herbivore Pink Cloud Soft Moisture Cream – AED 162.00
Um, how pretty does this moisturiser look? It’s like it was made for a Taurus’ bathroom shelf. The ultra-creamy, rich formula hydrates, plumps, and softens the skin with vegan squalene and tremella mushroom, a plant-based alternative to hyaluronic acid. It’s also naturally scented with Moroccan rose for an extra touch of luxury. We’re in the clouds about the price too.
Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)
Constantly being called nosey? That’s a Gemini for you. You’re an info junkie filled with curiosity and get endless joy from trying new things, especially when it comes to beauty products. This doesn’t bode well for eco-conscious Geminis though, or does it…
Tarte Maracuja Juicy Plumping Lip Oil – AED 115.00
Ever wondered what 15+ natural oils and 10+ superfruits can do for your lips? Try Tarte Maracuja Juicy Plumping Lip Oil for the healthiest, and most importantly juiciest, pout you’ve ever seen. It gives all the perks of an oil but with a high-shine pigment of a lip gloss. But the star of the show, maracuja oil, is sustainably sourced by an all-female organisation in the Amazon, so you can pucker up whilst supporting local economies.
Cancer (June 21st – July 22nd)
Cancers have a soft spot for all things comforting. You’re nurturing and sensitive, which usually works its way into your beauty routine, when you remember to do it that is. As the zodiac caregiver, you care for everyone (adorbs), but this often means forgetting about yourself (not so adorbs).
Liz Earle Superskin Advanced Firming Serum in Moisturiser – AED 223.00
This 2-in-1 serum and moisturiser means no more excuses. The gentle formula feels like a hug on the skin, ideal for those who seek comfort.

Leo (July 23rd – August 22nd)
You’ll always find a Leo in the spotlight. Charismatic and bold, you’re a real head-turner whether you mean to be or not. With attention on you at all times, you’ll want your skin to look as good as you feel being your authentic self.

In fact, it actually helps get rid of them altogether with almond oil. Its small size gets a Leo’s seal of approval for touch-ups on the go, as you never know whose head you’ll turn.
Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd)
You’re as reliable as it gets. People are lucky to have a Virgo around to depend on, so let this be your sign to give yourself more credit. As well as being someone to count on yourself, you like your beauty products to do the same. It’s pretty hard to get you to try something new once you find what works for you, but not impossible.
Skin Story Define Eyeliner – AED 120.00
If you’re going to try something new, let it be Skin Story Define Eyeliner. The super-fine tip gives you full control over your eyeliner, and when it’s exactly where you want it, it won’t smudge either. Enriched with vitamin B5 and peptides, the non-toxic formula nourishes the eye area and boosts keratin levels for thicker, longer lashes.
Libra (September 23rd – October 22nd)
You crave a balanced life, but what does this actually mean? Well, if there’s one area that isn’t going as well, you need to book a spa weekend before you self-sabotage the others. Uneven skin tone is enough to drive you crazy, sending your life into pure chaos.
Tata Harper All-Natural Resurfacing Mask – AED 351.98
