YSL Tinted Veil Tan Booster make up
We love products with versatility and this new tube is right on the money. Not only does it boost skin\'s melanin, thereby creating a natural tan, but it also deposits an instant glow and prolongs a natural tan. Add to that the ability to moisturise, mattify and luminize the complexion and you have a true summer staple.

Stila Cherry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain
It\'s official, we\'ve fallen in love. This amazing multi-tasking product not only moisturizes and protects skin with cherry and pomegranate anti-oxidants, but it also reacts with your skin\'s own pH to create the perfect, personalized lip-and-cheek flush every time. It\'s taken cheek stains from red-faced to rosy cheeked territory - and we can\'t live without it.

packet of Korres Cleansing Wipes for your face
Even old-school ‘cleanse, tone and moisturise\' aficionados cannot argue with the skin-loving feel of these new on-the-go wipes. Drier skins should opt for the Milk Proteins wipes, which nourish and moisturise at the same time, whereas oilier complexions will benefit from Pomegranate, which tighten pores, tone and refresh.

10. Mister Mascara Travel sets
Mister Mascara,skin care
travel set containing clear plastic bottles by Mister Mascara
It\'s one of our pet peeves, but most of our skin and bodycare essentials come in massive or breakable packaging that simply cannot be chucked into a suitcase without fear of accidents. To reinstate peace of mind, we\'ve come to rely on Mister Mascara - whose travel packs ensure that every minefield is dodged. Case in point, the ‘Flight Friendly\' bag, which includes 5 bottles, all less than 100ml in size, plus a funnel and spatula to help you decant your favourites into travel-friendly EU regulation packaging.
