Beauty Therapy: Your summer stars are here!
Just like the hottest fashion launches, the best new beauty buys can sell out if we’re not quick off the mark. Here are my just-landed limited-edition picks – grab them while you can
Tom Ford Soleil Lip Blush; Jo Malone London Frangipani Flower Cologne; Dolce & Gabbana Blush Touch; Clarins Limited Edition Water Lip Stain; Dior Orange Sienna; Laura Mercier Sun-Kissed Veil
1 Tom Ford Soleil Lip Blush (£44, tomford.co.uk) looks very groovy – sheer balm with flecks of 24-carat gold – and is one of those formulas that boosts the pink of your own lips, just with added bedazzlement.
2 For a fragrant summer interlude, try Jo Malone London Frangipani Flower Cologne (£98, jomalone.co.uk). With added notes of jasmine and ylang ylang, it’s escapism personified.
3 For the face, it’s all about Dolce & Gabbana Blush Touch (£31, harrods.com), which has a cushion tip applicator and delivers a fresh flush of dewy colour that looks natural.
4 Also for lips is Clarins Limited Edition Water Lip Stain (£19, clarins.co.uk). It’s a sparkling version of the watery but buildable lip colour that hydrates as it goes, courtesy of aloe vera extract.
5 I love the fresh and summery punch of Dior Orange Sienna (£22, dior.com) for nails, a more zingy stance than the Pantone of the year, coral.
6 Laura Mercier Sun-Kissed Veil (£30, spacenk.com) – this palette is a thing of beauty and contains a balmy and lightly shimmering bronzer for face, décolletage and limbs.
7 I’m obsessed by the seasonally counterintuitive deep night sky blue of Givenchy Le Vernis No 12 Strong nail varnish (£21.50, debenhams.com).
