As the last rays of summer disappear although we might feel a little sad   there’s plenty of new products to pamper ourselves with, give us an energetic vibe and dispense a great feel good factor.

We can hang on to the tan with a plethora of products that give us a great glow, pamper skin that may have become dehydrated with the sun and the heat and generally products that give us a sense of well being.

Fragrance is a great pick me up and there’s some great new launches around that are sure to please everyone.

From Chanel comes Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu a warn sweet take on the original Coco Mademoiselle. Its an intense amber composition, threaded with the sensuality of vetiver and vanilla, the vibrant radiance of grapefruit and lychee, the sensuality of rose and jasmine, and the enveloping depth of patchouli. It’s refined and audacious and the epitome of  exceptional craftsmanship.

The Aramis range , that all time classic, has added a new member to its family.

In Vanilla Fowers a flirty floral and Hey Bouquet a sultry floral gourmand it’s a new way to layer these favourite Fenty fragrances.

Body powder was one of the first products I ever used and one of the first products I bought out of my pocket money. I was hooked and have been a keen user of it since. From being a travel writer and author exploring the world to living in Australia for a long time this was always my go-to product. I took the hint from mum and grandma there’s nothing you cannot use it for – keeps you fresh and absorbs perspiration, helps prevent chafing, you can use as an alternative to dry shampoo, helps reduce redness and irritation and even freshen up bedsheets and footwear.

So its little wonder that in the hot weather and for those visiting hotter climes in the winter this has made a quiet comeback with the body powder generations have all loved by Yardley of London.

Top favourites are Lily of the Valley, English Rose and English Lavender plant based and natural, vegan and cruelty free – step out now and treat yourself.

And finally a product from that you will not want to be without this autumn M·A·C  has expanded Lustreglass with a new generation of lip and skin innovations where shine, colour and reflection converge.

The all-new Lustreglass collection includes hybrid formulas that meld stained-glass colour, lasting hydration, and performance.

We love the  Lustreglass Stainglass Lip tint a gloss and stain all in one that gives a glossy shine, a transfer resistant stain that last all day and a barrier protecting comfort and the Lustre Glass Sheer Lipstick that wears like lipstick and feels like lipbalm.
