Lancome Visionnaire Nuit €49
With a gel texture that is light enough to sink into skin without weighing it down I would choose this moisturiser for someone with normal or oily skin or who does not like or need a heavy night cream on their face.
It will refresh skin and leave it feeling soft come the morn.
Benefit the Porefessional License to Blot €21.50
I would love to work for Benefit and invent cosmetic-related puns all day long. “Oil has finally met its matte” they chirp about this product and indeed this teeny blotting stick is a handbag- friendly shine reducer that works.
It won’t dry up your skin but will take away the oil slick look from noses, foreheads and other oily areas throughout the day.
Foreo Luna Mini ‘Save the Sea’ €119
A soft and whizzy alternative to sonic cleansing brushes, this gadget is gentle enough to use every day. As it is made of silicone and therefore less porous than other materials it is more resistant to bacteria build-up. Including that facecloth you “forgot” to throw in the wash.
Cloon Keen Minted €40
I am unashamedly candle crazy. If I were an eccentric millionaire type I would light my house with the glow of hundreds of expensive scented candles, spurning electric light, while I shuffled around in dusty slippers and mad hair. Until that happy day arrives, I cherish each of my scented candles and this fresh scent is my new favourite.
David Beckham Beyond €33
If you’re the type to turn up your nose at the thought of celebrity fragrances, I am right with you most of the time. Many of them are targeted at the teen market and are very sweet and sickly smelling. A handful buck the trend, however, and the extensive David Beckham range for men is consistently good. With grapefruit and black pepper notes, this one may surprise you.

L’Occitane Aromachologie Rebalancing Black Soap €18
It is almost a misnomer to call this product a soap, as that term will make most of us think of the traditional hard cake.This is a soft, melting mixture that is gentle on skin and yet cleans thoroughly. I love something that intrigues me in the world of copycat cosmetics and this body paste with a mix of olive oil, eucalyptus and essential oils has done just that.
