WHAT WE’RE LOVING THIS WEEK:
■ Sally Hansen has thoughtfully put both steps of its Miracle Gel polish system into one handy double-ended bottle, meaning you will always have that vital glossy seal to protect the colour. Miracle Gel It Takes Two, £11.99, comes in 10 of the original’s best-selling shades, from classic nudes to pops of colour, and promises a week of shiny, pristine wear.
■ Ethique started its plastic-free crusade with solid bars for hair and body. Now it has moved into make-up with a line of gorgeous lipsticks, £15 each, which come in zero-plastic, fully compostable tubes that you can bury in your garden, or even a plant pot, when you’re done with them. Alternatively the empties can just be recycled like regular cardboard. Factor in the smooth lippy texture and seven wearable shades, and it’s giving fresh meaning to the term “natural make-up”.
■ Proving that skincare needn’t be complicated or aggressive to be effective, Simple’s new Supercharged Booster Serums, £7.99 each, are designed to target specific complexion concerns without irritating sensitive skin. There’s a vitamin-rich formula to brighten, hyaluronic acid to hydrate, or niacinamide to strengthen, and each booster can be either used on its own or mixed into your favourite moisturiser.
