March must-haves
Clarins Brilliant Sheer Shine Lipstick, £18
Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick in Coral Tulip, £18
MY obsession for lipsticks never fails to wane, so I’m always scouring the beauty shelves for my latest addition.
One lipstick range that I’m seriously impressed with right now is Clarins’ Brilliant Sheer Shine Lipstick range, which features three limited edition shades for their Opalescence Spring Makeup Collection.
Having chapped lips is a serious annoyance of mine, so I’m forever searching for a lipstick of which I don’t forever have to apply lipbalm over.
This product is great because it packs plenty of punch but keeps lips deeply moisturised and shiny at the same time.
My favourite is Coral Tulip, which is a bold but versatile coral and perfect for spring.

Odylique Toning Fruit Butter, £20
FREEZING temperatures can wreak havoc on skin at this time of year, leaving it looking and feeling both dry and uncomfortable.
However, your secret weapon to keeping it in tip-top condition is using an intensive moisturiser which can help protect and nourish the skin during the rougher weather.
Organic beauty brand Odylique have recently launched a new toning fruit butter which is perfect for soothing dull and cracked skin.
This has an uplifted aroma and feels like a luxurious treat when rubbed onto the body. It also contains sea buckthorn to combat ageing UV damage and stretch marks and ylang ylang, which helps to tone the skin.
A little goes a long way with this product and feels like a sublime treat after a nice hot bath.

Colour Wow Raise The Root Spray, £16.50
Colour Wow Raise the Root Spray, £16.50
VOLUMISED hair is predicted to be a strong look once again for 2014.
The catwalks were brimming with big-haired beauties this season, with stylists amping up the volume with big, soft waves.
To get the look, start off by using a clarifying volumising shampoo with a small amount of conditioner before spritzing on a root-boosting hair spray.
Right now I’m loving Colour Wow’s Raise The Root Spray, which should be used on damp hair and gives your hair bounce and volume after blowdrying.
Formulated with three lightweight “elastimers” that keep hair pliable and soft, this unique thickening resin forms a supportive spring around each hair, creating volume and instant lift without the need for backcombing.
