Beauty Tip of the Week

Soft and super-luxe, Chanel's new brush set, €98, contains a trio for blush, concealer and lips, and comes complete with a chic black makeup case, trimmed in the brand's iconic tweed.

Must Have of the Week

Swit-woo, eh? With a glossy lacquered compact studded with sparking faux-diamonds, Giorgio Armani's Crystal Palette, €85, is just as nice inside: four shadow-shades and a shimmering all-over highlighter are nestled within.

Body Con

Fan of La Mer's iconic Crème de la Mer? Then you'll be equally smitten with its new Body Crème, €150, packed full of marine miracles to smooth, firm and hydrate skin stressed by winter weather.

Nifty Fifty

Once skin hits the big five-oh, it starts to need more than mere hydration: age spots, lack of tone and hormonal influences come into play, meaning skincare needs to ramp up a notch or five if it's going to battle the signs of ageing effectively. Overnight is great time to put products to work, and Lancôme's new Absolue Nuit Ultimate serum, €200, looks set to become a firm friend of many a fiftysomething woman who wants to hold on to her good looks. Plumping, clarifying and toning ingredients tackle skin concerns while you get your zeds.

Light My Fire

This Christmas, you can scent your home with Clinique's iconic fragrance, Aromatic Elixir, thanks to this elegant frosted glass pillar candle, €38, finished with an embossed, golden lid.
