Buchanan Galleries

How wonderful is it when you find a luxurious product at a bargain price? Well, that's just what I did in John Lewis recently when I came across the fantastic Kings & Queens range. Made in Greece, the products contain Royal herbs. The range comprises shower gels and varying body butters and lotions, as well as soap. Our favourites are Caspar Myrrh Body Butter, a rich and heady scent, and King of Sumatra Pepper and Bergamot shower gel that will certainly wake you up! Other fantastic scents include Nefertity Honey, Queen of Sheeba Pistachio and the interesting Tsar Peter Tobacco. Shower gels are £5 and body butters £6, available exclusively at John Lewis.

J Lo must love her perfume, as this year she's launching yet another to add to her collection. This time it's Deseo Jennifer Lopez, which means desire. The bottle is pure bling, as you might expect, designed like a gemstone with multiple facets. The perfume itself is a floral woody scent, with top notes of bamboo and freesia, a heart of jasmine, orange blossom and pink geranium, and a base of amber, oak moss, sensual musks and sandalwood. And it's actually very nice. 100ml EDP £38, 50ml £26, 30ml £21, body lotion £13.50 and shower gel, £13, available from Boots and The Perfume Shop.

Korres has been a big hit since moving into the Galleries last year, and the success looks set to continue. Next month they launch a new range for problem skin, so if you suffer from oily skin that is prone to breakouts then this is a wonderful range for you. Using ingredients such as lime, cinnamon, thyme, echinacea and sage, the range comprises of Cinnamon & Thyme topical gel (£7), Cinnamon & Natural Clay Deep Cleansing Mask (£17), Cinnamon & Echinacea Cream-gel Moisturiser (£16), Thyme & Sage Facial Gel Cleanser (£12.50) and the gorgeous Lime & Sage Shower Gel (£9).
