Bag exchange

what do men know of the secret beauty lives of women? Do they even suspect that vibrating mascara wands, colour corrective foundations or lipsticks that are designed to make your teeth whiter even exist? They probably don't realise either that this time of year is designated 'spring clean your make-up bag' time when you should throw out the potions and lotions past their sell-by-date. The first task is to bin any cosmetic bag that's grubby and worn. This faux-snakeskin number from Urban Outfitters is roomy enough to carry essentials and very, very stylish. €17.20

Float on

fashion houses have their cruise collections so there's no reason why nail polish brands can't have one too, especially when it's as fashion-forward as Nails Inc. This particular cruise collection consists of four, limited edition shades, including a soft grey, navy slate and pale apricot colours. 'Festival Pier' is our favourite, a bright coral shade, which is the colour du jour and perfect for spring. €32 for set of four available at Brown Thomas.

Bobbi's Girl

one minute you're comfortably swaddled in winter layers. The next, you're suddenly expected to expose limbs that haven't seen daylight in months. The lovely new shimmering body oil from Bobbi Brown has pink and platinum pearls, as well as essential oils to give a healthy glow. It smells good too, being lightly fragranced with Bobbi's Party, a new perfume debuting this winter. Available at Brown Thomas, €35
