Celebrate life and be somebody with Philosophy

It\'s around this time of year - the lull before spring and the financial aftermath of the sales - that anything offering a pick-me-up is a real godsend. Philosophy\'s motivating and life-affirming beauty and skin care products have always been eagerly snapped up in our office and their new range of shower gels, shampoos and body creams are no different.

The vibrant Celebrate 3-in-1 bath and shower gel range consists of three new fragrances and themes; Celebrate Life lime blossom, Celebrate Dreams lemongrass and Celebrate Love blackberry musk. My personal favourite is the zesty, uplifting Celebrate Life which never fails to sweep away winter\'s gloom. Unlike many other shower gels these days this shower and bath gel is high-foaming so you can get a great lather going to unleash the fragrance.

If that isn\'t enough to get you back on the right road then Philosophy\'s second new range Be Somebody, certainly will. Consisting of a super clean, super soothing shampoo, bath and shower gel and a daily moisture lotion all stamped with inspiring words that will give you a boost, the range smells incredible and will leave you with a warm glow all day.

Philosophy\'s celebrate shower gel trio, £32, Philosophy\'s be somebody 3-in-1, £12.80, daily moisture lotion, £19.20, Selfridges and QVC.

Vaseline Sheer Infusion range

Vaseline\'s latest offering, just in time for some pre-spring moisturisation, contains their new Stratys-3 technology which includes glycerol quat, glycerine and hydroxylethyl urea to give skin a hydration hit across all its multiple levels. To you and I that means skin will stay moisturised for longer, will not appear greasy - as the cream won\'t sit on the top layer of our skin - and will work to prevent further drying. We love the new Mineral Renewal lotion which not only contains extra skin loving minerals but smells fruity and fresh with extracts of pear. Skin is left soft and touchable in an instant.

£4.99 each, nationwide.

Barbara Daly S/S Mini Fashion Nails

Make-up surpremo Barbara Daly has been in the beauty industry for years and her own range, sold in Tesco stores, is loved by everyone from beauty experts to those simply wanting to invest in a new season must-have. We love her new mini spring nail polish range which is sure to be a hit with its bright shades of blue, burnt red, orange - big for summer - and purple. They really are a great way to add a ray of sunshine into your look without breaking the bank. It\'s another winning range from one of our favourite make-up artists on the high street.

Plus if you are a keen London Fashion Week fan you will be pleased to know that the Barbara Daly range is even used backstage. This year - and for the second season running - cult British designer Amanda Wakeley enlisted the help of make-up artist Sharon Dowsett and the Barbara Daly products to get a healthy glossy glow on her runway models.

Sharon\'s favourite must-have products from the range included the Barbara Daly Face Lift (£6.75) moisturiser which she used to give the model\'s skin a luminous, dewy appearance, the Face Lift Foundation (£8.75) and Concealer which were used to even out the complexion and the Soufflé Blush (£5.06) in Glow which Sharon applied backstage to the cheeks using a foundation brush to give skin a radiant glow. Sharon\'s other hero product is the High Impact Mascara (£5.62) in black which enabled her to create bold lashes on the models. Word on the street is that the models loved the mascara so much they begged the make-up team to let them keep them after the show!

Now who said getting catwalk looks was impossible on the high street? Not us!

Limited edition Mini Nails collection, £2.70, Tesco stores. All other Barbara Daly products available from larger Tesco stores nationwide. For further information visit barbaradalymake-up.co.uk

BareMinerals new foundation pots

I am a huge fan of mineral make-up and don\'t go a day without applying a dusting of the bareMinerals foundation. As I suffer with rosacea, open pores and dry skin, using minerals is the best and most caring way to get an even, flawless complexion.

What we\'ve found has put most people off trying minerals is the mess and the faffing around with powder. Well fear not, this is all about to change thanks to bareMineral\'s new packaging. Containing a new click-and-lock container it means you don\'t have to worry about mess and can easily tap out just the right amount - we\'ve been told by the experts it\'s the same as a sprinkle of chocolate on a cappuccino - of foundation you will need. A bit of tapping and buffing later, no mirror required, will leave you looking ready to face the day.

Ladies with sensitive, problem skin should definitely give minerals a go this spring.

Rimmel Colour Show Off Lipstick

If you like getting your hands on beauty products before everyone else then head down to London in the next couple of weeks and visit the first ever pop-up Rimmel London store in Selfridges. In support of London Fashion Week, Rimmel will be giving customers a chance to buy their new lipstick and waterproof mascara at the store while everyone else will have to wait to get them in March and May.

We managed to get a sneak preview of their new lipstick range and are seriously impressed. Not only are they highly moisturising - what lipstick isn\'t these days? - but each one is an on-trend colour with a creamy texture that lasts for hours. We are in lurrve with the bright red shade - called Red Fever - which is a matte, bold red with serious staying power. It\'s the perfect way to add some colour into your look as we head into spring.

Visit the new pop-up Rimmel London store in Selfridges, Oxford Street London from 18 February to the 18 March.

What\'s more it comes with a kitsch Marc Jacobs Daisy Garland which will enable you to bring a bit of tropical fun home. Marc drew inspiration from blue skies, cool clouds and fresh air.

Neal\'s Yard Remedies Wild Rose Beauty Elixir

This is Neal\'s Yard Remedies\' most expensive product to date but don\'t let that put you off. Famed for their use of organic and fair trade ingredients and results driven formulas, this new serum is going to put them ahead of the game. The serum contains a potent mix of antioxidants to protect skin against environmental damage, rosehip oil which is great for redness and scarring plus hyaluronic acid which will really give skin a dose of hydration. I love the smell which makes me want to use it but the creamy texture is also quick drying and instantly gives my skin a boost, which makes me love it even more. For those that want to invest in a natural serum with nourishing and regenerating properties then this is for you.

£42.50, nealsyardremedies.co.uk and stores nationwide.

Lancôme Crystallized Swarovski Elements blusher

This year Lancôme celebrate their 10 year anniversary as the official beauty partner to the Baftas, and what better way to do it than with this glitzy Swarovski encrusted blusher. We know it looks too pretty to use but trust us it\'s the perfect way to perk up dull winter skin. It suits all skin tones with its multi-shade palette and the pearlescent highlighter adds an instant healthy glow to skin. Although there are only 100 of the crystallized limited edition blushers being sold in the UK don\'t despair the original spring blusher, exactly the same but without the crystals, is on sale nationwide all spring long. Hurrah!

Lancôme Crystallized Swarovski Elements O My Rose! Pop\'N\'Cheeks blusher, £45, Selfridges.

Harajuku Lovers Sunshine Cuties

What\'s not to love about these kitsch Harajuku Lovers from Gwen Stefani? Even for a grown-up perfume bottle collector like myself, these are a great addition to my collection. These new limited edition minis are über cute with each girl in their beach wear with painted nails and some even in their sunnies. The collection definitely has a sweet feel to it, which I often don\'t go for. However, I really liked the Love scent with its light fruity floral notes and the G fragrance which again has a softer more delicate finish to it as opposed to being too sickly sweet. In two words: I\'m hooked.

£14.50 each, at The Perfume Shop exclusively until the 17 February and then nationwide.

Nubar Nail Lacquer in Lavender

I\'m a big fan of the Nubar nail polish range; they last really well, always have on-trend colours and are cheaper than most other high-end polishes. As we are having a lilac moment at Handbag Towers right now, I\'ve been painting my way through a whole host of polishes in the quest to find the perfect one. A lot of the other lilac colours I\'ve tried have turned out very light - sometimes verging on pale pink - so I was impressed that this had a noticeable lavender colour to it. It\'s just what I was looking for and the thick consistency meant I only had to apply one coat.

It\'s a pretty colour for both spring and summer, plus it\'s a cool-based shade which is likely to look great against black in the winter too.

£8, cultbeauty.co.uk and beautyshed.co.uk
