Tell me more

Available in two universally flattering shades (a fair pink/nude and medium/deep nude), Plumpgasm has a precision application tip plus:

• Heat and ice technology for a soft, tingling power plump effect with ultimate comfort
• Collageneer for a juicy, glazed finish and bouncy feel
• Hyaluronic acid for instant hydration
  

Bringing game-changing haircare for coils, curls and waves, Aveda’s Be Curly Advanced collection is packed with seven powerful, plant-powered solutions. Hot on the heels of the Aveda Be Curly system (which was a John Lewis bestseller), these new, vegan and silicone-free formulas were created to boost curl performance (with improved frizz protection, hydration, strength, shine and definition) and deliver gorgeous results. Think: 72-hour frizz protection in high humidity, 92% more hydration, three-times stronger hair and 89% improvement in curl definition. 

The ultimate spring skincare switch-up, think of Benefit The POREfessional Shrink Wrap Overnight AHA+PHA Pore Treatment as your pore-perfecting, skin-smoothing miracle worker as we shimmy into warmer weather. This 10% resurfacing acid blend is loaded with: AHAs (to visibly tighten pores); PHA (to visibly retexturise); BHA (to help soothe); and niacinamide (to maintain the look of pores).

Weddings, birthdays, baby showers, BBQs and ‘just because’ days – celebratory season is upon us, and with it a whole host of great gift ideas.

• Diptyque Gourmand Candle Collection These three delectable candles in Café (coffee), Chantilly (whipped cream) and Biscuit (er, biscuit) promise a sensory experience akin to the bustling heart of Paris. They were co-inspired with Café Verlet, the oldest purveyor of coffee in the French capital. 
• Maison Margiela’s new From The Garden fragrance range An earthy, fresh and uplifting scent that evokes the joyful feeling of an afternoon spent in a tranquil, sundrenched garden. Perfumer Olivier Cresp was inspired by his memories of spending time in his childhood garden with his father, and later doing the same with his own son, Sebastien.
• Elie Saab Le Parfum Bridal This floral, woody, musky fragrance evokes the idea of movement, the texture of lace and the rustle of satin, with a floral bouquet of neroli, ylang-ylang and notes of orange blossom.
