WHAT’S NEW?

THE LATEST PRODUCTS WE WANT IN OUR MAKE-UP BAGS

SOFT TOUCH

WANT a matte lipstick that lasts all day, yet doesn’t dry out your lips? So do a lot of people, L’Oréal Paris researchers have found. Which is why they’ve created the

Infallible Matte Lips Crayons, £9.99 (Boots. com), which have the creamy, weightless texture of a balm with an intensely pigmented, velvety finish.

Their slim, pen-shaped design is perfect for precisely filling in the lines, and with 14 shades, there’s one to tempt the most reluctant lipstick-wearer.

SCENT OF SUMMER

DON’T worry if this year’s summer holidays have been put on hold for now, as you can still waft around in a haze of sun-cream scent – even if you don’t plan to leave your house.

Nivea Sun has bottled the iconic fragrance of its original sun lotions into an Eau de Toilette, £25 (Amazon.co.uk) – its sweet, floral aroma instantly evokes memories of sunny beach days. We can’t promise it’ll transform the back garden into the Costa Del Sol, but it’s certainly a nostalgic mood-booster.

PEACHY CLEAN

OUR favourite and most mouthwatering fruit has now made its way into our bathroom cabinets. Scientia Peachy Clean Milky Oil Cleanser is the perfect creamy cleansing milk, while the Peach & Glow Hydra Skin Tonic, both £24 (ScientiaBeauty.com), gives a burst of hydration and a fresh glow. They’ll leave your skin feeling soft, plump and juicy.

CLEAN UP YOUR ACT

JUST when we thought we couldn’t get excited about any more hand care products, along comes Sanctuary Spa Antibacterial Hand Gel Spray, £5 (Boots.com).

This super-fine aerosol spray is quick and convenient to use, kills 99.9% of bacteria, and is scented with Sanctuary’s signature fragrance – practical AND pampering... divine!
