The AL Edit: What The Team Are Loving Right Now

There are always a few things capturing the team’s attention.

The product someone discovers and suddenly everyone wants to try. The home find that gets shared straight into the group chat. The beauty buy that quickly becomes an immediate recommendation. And, occasionally, the proper splurge we’re all quietly considering ahead of payday.

So, consider this our edit of the things we’re genuinely loving right now.

From the beauty brand we buy on repeat to the home purchase we’ve already made, these are the finds currently earning a place in the AL Edit team’s everyday lives — a considered mix of things we’ve bought, tried, loved and can’t stop talking about.

Some are practical. Some are indulgent. All have one thing in common: they’re making everyday life feel that little bit better.

The Beauty Find We Buy On Repeat

POCO Beauty Dreamglow Lip Mask

There are certain brands the AL Edit team doesn’t need convincing to try. POCO Beauty is one of them. Safe to say, when something new launches, we’ve usually bought it before we’ve even finished telling each other about it.

The latest? Dreamglow Lip Mask — and it’s already earning its place.

Shea butter and rosehip seed oil help soften and nourish, while the moisture-locking formula tackles that dry, rough feeling without any stickiness. Unscented, effortless and exactly the kind of hardworking beauty product we want within reach at all times.

Our verdict? The new bedside-table essential.

The Home Buy We’ve Already Made

Søw-Sē Rattan Log Basket

This is one we didn’t just save to our wish list — we bought it.

There’s something about this time of year that makes us want to start making our homes feel a little more considered, and this beautiful rattan log basket from søw-sē felt like the perfect place to start.

Made from genuine rattan, it holds a full evening’s worth of logs and kindling, but it’s far too useful to reserve for the fireplace. Blankets, garden bits, toys — it’s the kind of hardworking storage piece that earns its place in any busy home.

The detail that sealed the deal? It has wheels.

Beautiful, practical and easy to move from room to room, this is exactly the kind of home buy we love: something that looks good but works even harder.

Our verdict? If you’re looking for one beautiful piece to take your home into autumn, make it this. We bought it, we love it and we already know it’s going to be one of those purchases that gets used far more than we expected.

The Bedding Update We’re Obsessed With

M&S Pure Cotton Floral Matelassé Bedding Set

We saw this and immediately thought: hotel bedding, but prettier.

The textured matelassé finish gives it that beautifully layered, considered look, while the delicate floral design keeps it feeling fresh and feminine rather than overly traditional.

It’s the sort of bedding that makes you want to remake the entire bed — extra pillows, a beautiful throw, the works.

Our verdict? If your bedroom is due a September refresh, this is where we’d start. It looks far more expensive than it is and proves that sometimes changing your bedding is all the interiors update you need.

The Payday Splurge

Byredo Gypsy Water Eau de Parfum

Some purchases are practical. Others are entirely about how they make you feel.

This falls firmly into the latter category.

Gypsy Water is the kind of investment fragrance that feels like a proper payday treat. Warm, woody and effortlessly distinctive, it’s one of those scents that instantly makes getting ready feel a little more special.

Yes, it’s a splurge — but this is exactly the kind of beauty buy we think is worth saving for. Something you reach for often, enjoy every time and associate with that little moment of everyday luxury.

Our verdict? If you’re looking for a proper payday present to yourself, make it this. A splurge, certainly. But one that feels worth it from the very first spray.
