Body Rockin'

Keep up gals: it's no longer just our faces we've to worry about, as a recent spate of anti-ageing body products has attested. One with real power to address issues like a crepey cleavage is the new Total Transforming Anti-Aging Moisturiser from turn-back-the-clock whizzes, Prevage. Not cheap at €130, but aren't you worth it?

Beauty Editor's Choice

I don't know about you, but last month's cold weather left my hands in a dry, raw state. I've found a gem of a fixer though, and it's ArtDeco's Hand Balance, €22.65. This little wonder contains Himalaya salt crystals, shea butter and oils to gently exfoliate and nourish chapped digits. A winner.

Cream of the Crop

I love a bit of Urban Decay fun, and their new Cream Shadows, €15 each, come in 12 gel-based and crease-free shades. Perfect for this season's trend for lilac lids is Delinquent, a deep, fluid purple with serious sex appeal.

Going for gold

Heading states-side any time soon? Keep the cash you save at the outlets and book yourself in for a rare treat while you're there. I recommend heading to the Chantecaille Spa at Barneys New York for the Nano Gold Engerising Facial, $275/€220. A real once-in-a-lifetime treat, it's a results-based splurge worthy of the price. This is the template all facials should follow: relaxing and beneficial, you get results thanks to 90 minutes of massage, extractions, acupressure and use of the spa's wizard energy lift machine. Go in grumpy, come out glowing. Chantecaille Spa at Barneys New York, 660 Madison Avenue, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10021

Beauty Tip of the Week

Retro and recession-friendly, that's Boots' new Original Beauty Formula range. My pick is the rose-oil infused Cold Cream, a steal at €7. It'll provide a bit of old-school glam to your cleansing routine, and if you use it with a hot muslin cloth, you'll get even more treatment benefits.
