Must haves
Boots No7 Instant Radiance Beauty Lotion makes tired skin glow. It's a light, easily absorbed beauty fluid that gives your skin a moisture boost, leaving it radiant. It works under your favourite foundation or is ideal for those 'no make-up' days. With smoothing moisturisers and tightening, toning larch extract for younger looking skin, it's one of those products you'll soon find you can't live without. Boots, £14.75.
No girl's make-up bag will be complete this summer without a couple of items from the Clarins 'Summer Fever' range. Warm, sun-filled colours to enhance a tanned complexion have been created by Clarins' artistic director. Sun Tinted Gel SPF10 (£18), Sun Palette SPF20 (£25) and Sun Blush (£18) are just three of the key products of this limited-edition range. Clarins is available at John Lewis.
Launched last year, Sarah Jessica Parker's second perfume, Covet, is yet another sign of her irrevocable style. The fragrance is described as addictive, and is for those of us who know that 'I just had to have it' feeling. Its classic, feminine aroma contains notes of lavender, chocolate, honeysuckle, musk and amber. Covet by Sarah Jessica Parker, Eau de Parfum spray 30ml £22.50 at The Perfume Shop.
As summer arrives the idea should be to wear less not more make up. Most importantly, you should be using sun protection on your face every day to avoid sun damage and premature aging. Korres have brought out a tinted moisturiser in three shades with SPF30. It incorporates watermelon, which prevents photo-aging and erythema (redness of the skin caused by irritation). At £18 it's reasonably priced, easy to use and is a medium coverage alternative to a heavy foundation.
If you don't feel confident enough to bare your legs but want to avoid wearing tights, Pretty Polly's Lovely Legs range is the answer. The Moisturising Leg Shimmer and Natural Tan Leg Bronzer will give you that just-tanned look. The Velvet Bronze Leg Balm comes in an adorable compact, and the Bronzed Leg Gloss helps define and highlight. Pretty Polly Love Legs products are available from Boots and from £1.50-£10
