Think pink

with its neat click pen applicator and understated moniker, Trish McEvoy's 'Liquid Face Colour' is simplicity personified but you should know that this is a very valuable weapon to have in your make-up bag for peaky days. The light formula that goes on smoothly to give you a healthy, natural glow which suggests that a chicken snack box has never passed your lips and you're just back from taking your adorable puppy on a brisk walk. It's also portable and airport friendly (an important consideration when it comes to make-up purchasing these days) and can also be used on lips. Get it at Brown Thomas, €30

Straight up

if you're a woman who is permanent­ly attached to her GHD straighteners – of which there are many – or you've a cheeky weekly blow-dry addiction, you might like to check the 12-week blow-dry at Dylan Bradshaw's salon. It's a keratin-based treatment which soothes hair and doesn't use any damaging chemicals. The treatment is applied section by section and left in

the hair for two days. After you wash it out, you'll be able to get that fresh-out-of-the-salon look with minimal effort and it will last for three months. Cost is from €200. Dylan Bradshaw, 5 Johnson's Place, Dublin 2. Tel: 01 671 935

Smells like summer

he dresses michelle obama, Salma Hayek and SJP and while we can't afford Narciso Rodriguez couture, his beautiful perfumes have us enthralled. Until now, 'For Her', with its distinctive black or pink bottle and musky sensual notes, was one of our favourite scents ever. Its position is threatened however by his new scent, called 'Essence'. Described as being both 'intense and ethereal', it's deliciously clean smelling and summery, with musk and notes of rose petal and iris. The bottle, all futuristic mirrors and curves, is just as memorable as this very modern scent. €75 for 50ml, available at Brown Thomas.
