Our Top British Beauty Products

The Allure staff includes many beauty Anglophiles-plus a few imported legit Brits-so we thought we'd mark the occasion with a round-up of our top products from across the pond-those fit for a Queen, Duchess Catherine of Cambridge (also known as Kate Middleton), or anyone in between.
