Yves Saint Laurent Libre Vanille Couture Parfum

£121.00

The brand-new, limited-edition YSL Libre Vanille Couture perfume gives boss energy while still being beautiful (think: sophisticated and not overly sweet). It has the Libre DNA with the orange blossom, but is paired with lavender and rum absolute to make it a true showstopper. Even better, the floral ambery scent arrives in a stunning gold bottle. Divine.

Clarins Multi-Active Glow Serum

£59.00

The new serum has a bi-phase formula, which means it has two active molecules: Vitamin C to brighten and Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to refine skin texture. Simply shake the bottle to bring the ingredients together, then press the serum into your face and neck, morning and night. Non-greasy, great under makeup and gives an instant glow. Magic in a bottle.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, Fox

£92.00

Every year, ahead of the Holiday season, luxury beauty brand Hourglass Cosmetics releases limited-edition palettes; this year the stunning artwork is by Ukrainian tattoo artist Sasha Unisex. There are four face palettes for different skin tones, and Fox has an impressive five new shades – including warm coral and rich berry tones for a soft-glow finish.

Fenty Beauty Holiday Makeup Gift Set

£18.00

Exclusively at John Lewis, Rihanna’s mini-me versions of her brand’s bestselling Hella Thicc Volumising Mascara and Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer are not to be missed. Perfect for gifting – in the festive season or beyond – the mascara promises thick, lifted lashes and the lip gloss arrives in a rich brown shade. Get ready for mini proportions and maximum impact.
