EDWINA’S PERSONAL TOP TEN

-

Clockwise from top left: NO 7 THE FULL 360 MASCARA,

£10 until 13 February then £14, boots.com This doesn’t launch until Wednesday but it impressed me and the YOU team when it arrived recently. It doesn’t clump, can be layered to build up, separates lashes and has a well-designed curved brush to shape them. It’s a brilliant all-rounder.

MARY KAY PRECISION BROW LINER,

£12, marykay.co.uk Yes, there are some interestin­g products out there for brows at the moment but, for a good pencil that helps to give a bit of oomph and distinctio­n, this one really is excellent.

COLGATE MAX WHITE EXPERT WHITENING TOOTHPASTE,

£6, boots.com I’m terrified to do the full dental whitening, but I’m extremely impressed by this range. Don’t expect the same results as a pro treatment; it does brighten, though.

HOUSE OF GLAMDOLLS GLAMBASE WHEEL,

£15, houseofgla­mdolls.com You get a lot for your money with this as it contains concealer, sculpting and illuminati­ng options and is also well pigmented. I was introduced to it by make-up artist Lee Pycroft and I was seriously impressed. It gave coverage but looked natural, didn’t settle in lines and made me look loads better. Available for a range of skin tones.

WESTLAB RELAXING MAGNESIUM FLAKES,

£8.99 for 1kg, westlabsal­ts.co.uk These are a must when I need a good night’s sleep and help with winding down. At this price I’m happy to pour a load in the bath.

ELF NO BUDGE SHADOW STICK,

£5, boots.com Sure, you can buy expensive versions in fancy packaging but, frankly, this eye pencil is brilliant. I use it more as a chunky eyeliner and blend it out a bit. And it stays put – even throughout a rather merry and prolonged evening recently. I love it.

LANOLIPS HYDRATING LIP LUMINISER,

£13, cultbeauty.co.uk I always like a bit of Lanolips and am a fan of The Original With Colour too but this latest version also cares for lips and gives an added gloss-like shimmer.

PAUL & JOE FRAGRANCE ROLLERBALL,

£14, feelunique.com Launched this month, this rollerball fragrance smells as delightful as it looks. Not a complicate­d high scent but that isn’t always what I’m after.

SUPERDRUG NATURALLY RADIANT HOT CLOTH FACE CLEANSER,

£5.99, superdrug.com This creamy formula is a popular choice with beauty editors as it leaves skin clean and looking brighter. It also comes with a muslin cloth.

RITUALS THE RITUAL OF AYURVEDA FOAMING SHOWER GEL,

£8.50, rituals.com It couldn’t be more luxurious. Choose from a variety of fragrances or the one that comes out in the shape of a 3D flower. A treat to use.
