Hero buy: Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme
Tired eyes? You’ll love this.

Adored by Oscar-nominated Ana de Armas and with five-star ratings as standard – treat someone you love (you, treat you).
Celebrating 10 years of Tilbs’ Magic Cream
Created backstage to instantly transform models’ skin, MUA Charlotte Tilbury’s secret formula became so popular that she felt compelled to bottle it, launching (klaxon) Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream in 2013.
Fast forward to today and the (refillable) forever five-star rated, moisture-maxing concoction of skin-plumping, gloriously glow-giving, dewy-inducing loveliness is a brand bestseller, beloved by A-listers and well, everyone.
Loved by experts: Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream is 10/10
Why it’s magic... With peptides (to plump), vitamins C and E (to brighten), hyaluronic acid (to hydrate) and aloe vera (to soothe and calm), Tilbs’ iconic formula floods skin with moisture, helping to create the perfect canvas for red carpets and/or school runs.

Science says: yes. Colour experts have long waxed lyrical about the magnetising power of red whether you’re pitching for a promotion or angling for a hot date. Red nails strike the perfect balance between chic and quick – a surefire way to look ‘pulled together’, even when you’re not. Red nail theory or not, it’s one way to justify your new buy...
