Oskia Get Up and Glow

£64.50

Twelve skin-friendly ingredients such as hydrators and vitamins are packed into this extremely moisturising serum.

It feels cool and refreshing when applied, and if your skin is normal or oily, you might find you can skip moisturiser altogether after using it.

Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipsticks

€19

Matte lipstick is a difficult beast to get right. True mattes tend to dry out lips, and, although they may look fantastic initially, they can make your lips look flaky by lunchtime. This is a creamy matte, with an ever-so-slight sheen that is soft and easy to wear.

The colour range is vibrant; wear it as loudly as you dare.

Kerestase Materialiste All Over Thickening Spray Gel

€23

Halfway between a hair serum and a hairspray, this works to bulk up fine hair.

It’s particularly good if you want to braid or put your hair up the same day you’ve washed it; it gives enough grip and bulk to stop hair slipping.

Max Factor Masterpiece High Precision Liquid Eyeliner

€10.99

A marker-style eyeliner with a thick and thin side. Use the thin side of the pen to achieve a fine line and use the thicker side for maximum drama. It is very easy to use and ideal for those with shaky hands or anyone who is unused to liquid liner.

I love pens like these because they require very little effort.

Bumble and Bumble Don’t Blow It

€33

The smell of Bumble and Bumble products is always gorgeous, and this styling cream is no different.

In keeping with a heat-free hair-care regime, it allows your hair to relax and fall into place naturally, while keeping flyaways and frizz to a minimum.

Clarins Super Restorative

Serum

€110

The latest plant-based serum from Clarins is formulated to give help to skin weakened by ageing, particularly those hormonal changes that we have no control over, which can lead to skin that is more fragile, with noticeable age spots, dryness and discolouration. This serum will give mature skin a blast of hydration, smooth and brighten.
