The Recommended is an expert advice and shopping recommendations guide brought to you by Immediate Media. Our small team of writers scour the web to find the most knowledgeable experts to interview about the best products to buy online.

Our mission is simple: to help you shop smarter.

Our articles feature all the information you need to make an informed purchasing decision, highlighting what you should look for (and avoid) when shopping online.

Looking to find your next mascara or foundation? We have articles for that, with recommendations from some of the world’s leading make-up artists. Want to level up your home gym? We have a whole section of fitness product best lists recommended by world-class personal trainers and physiotherapists. Time to treat your furry friend to some new dog treats? We have you covered, with recommendations from qualified animal experts. You get the idea.

You can trust our shopping guides because they're built on our experts' years of experience in their fields, with product recommendations that are independent and unbiased. We do feature advertising and may also earn an affiliate commission, but this does not influence our editorial and product recommendations.

We’re a small team who love what we do, and we hope you do too.

Follow us on Twitter and Instagram to keep up to date with all our expert recommendations.
