Gloss Volupté, €25, Yves Saint Laurent
Confession time; we'd happily buy this product for the gorgeous packaging alone. YSL products are a fantastic looking addition to any makeup bag and this beauty is no exception, with a clear case, silver embossed ring and gold cap. But looking good is one thing, what about the content? This gloss is a keeper. The key to a good gloss is something light-weight but long-lasting, with good colour payoff and for heaven's sake make it non-sticky. Gloss Volupté ticks all the boxes. Available in 24 shades and three finishes, you can opt for one of ten 'Scandalously Gold' shades boasting warm gold flecks, any of five 'Sinfully Iridescent' shades with pearlescent flecks, or one of nine 'Irresistibly Pure' shades for a sheer lacquered finish. The kiss shaped applicator is pretty sweet too.
Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant Nighttime Miracle Moisturizer, €40
Eight Hour Cream is one of those all-time greats, well deserving of a place in the beauty hall of fame. If you're a devotee too, you may like this new addition to the line, designed to restore and renew skin throughout the night for the ultimate beauty sleep. Trials showed that after 1 use, 95% of women felt their dry skin was soothed and softened the next morning, and 89% of women felt their skin was deeply moisturized overnight. After just 2 weeks, 9 out of 10 women agree that it soothes and relieves their tired and dry skin. The lavender-scent of the silky formula is another cue to your body that it's time to relax and recuperate.
