Philosophy coconut frosting
We\'re heading for the tropics with this collection of fruity and exotically scented beauty treats. If your piggy bank can\'t quite stretch to a holiday in the Maldives or a cruise around the Caribbean islands then this collection of beauty and skin care products will leave you with a relaxed glow and revitalising scent to match that holiday mood. We say don\'t just eat your five-a-day; treat your skin to the mood and skin-enhancing qualities of your fruit bowl with papaya, mango and strawberry body lotions and butters or floral face masks. From eye shadows that will have you doing the hula to scrubs filled to the brim with coconuts, it\'ll be a Hawaiian holiday in your bathroom without the queues at passport control.
Philosophy Coconut Frosting Salt Scrub This hardworking salt scrub from Philosophy smells as though they\'ve taken a lovely bunch of coconuts and poured all that coconutty goodness into a pot to recreate a tropical paradise in your bathroom.

Bobbi Brown Lip Tint
Available in eight juicy shades, we love the Black Cherry version of this wax-free, gel-based lip tint from Bobbi Brown. Not only do they give your lips a sheer hit of colour they contain SPF15 to protect your delicate skin from the sun. And with a hint of mint they will keep your lips fresh and kissable.
