I am so profoundly fed up with the winter, and am sniffing my bottle of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse d’Or daily as it smells quintessentially of summer. It also makes your limbs soft as a newborn’s, and adds a supermodel-worthy sheen.

I’ve always been a fan of Benefit’s humorous approach to beauty. Of course, it would be pointless if their products didn’t work, but they do, so that’s all right then. I particularly like their kits for those of us who are fumbling a bit with how to use products like eyeshadow, so today’s best beauty buy is their Big Beautiful Eyes kit — eye shadow and concealer. There’s also free postage on orders over £50.

Ah Ren. What’s not to like? It’s skincare that uses the latest hi-tech bio actives, but still uses 100% natural fragrances, and is free from harsh sulfates and synthetic colours.   My Copenhagen hotel had Ren products in the bathrooms, and I slathered myself in the Neroli & Grapefruit Body Wash in the shower each morning. Glorious.
