How to create the ultimate shelfie which will up your beauty game

Get fresh to impress šŸ’

The ultimate shelfie

by Lily Anderson |
Updated on

Selfies are so 2014! We're in a whole new decade so we think taking a picture of ourselves is so last year. Instead, we're reaching for our phones and taking a shelfie of our fave skin saviours.

If you're thinking WTF is a shelfie, don't worry because you're not alone... According to Urban Dictionary, this is "A photo taken to show off what is on someone's shelf", as well as other hilarious meanings - we'll let you Google them.

Have you invited your besties for wine night at your new flat? They're probably going to raid your bathroom cabinets and all the shelves in between. Get ahead of them and create an insta-shelfie look that will leave wanting to take home all your beauty products.

You don't have to create a Pinterest board to get this right, we've already created our own, which you can just mimic and show off.

All that's left to do is shop the ultimate beauty items to help you create the perfect shelfie....
