Dove Derma Spa Summer Revived Body Lotion

€9.99

If the thought of winter approaching is sending you into despair, you’re not alone. This lotion, part of the new Dove Derma Spa range, contains subtle self-tan so you can hang on to summer for a little longer.

Marc Jacobs Decadence (from €62.20)

Warning: unashamed gushing is on the way. Scent is one of the best mood enhancers, and this one comes in a handbag-style bottle that can’t fail to make you go “ooh”. The scent is sophisticated, with a blend of plum and iris, bedding down to a warm amber and vetiver base.

L’Oréal Infallible Mega Gloss €11.99

A punchy lipstick can work wonders for your confidence and brighten dull days. With this collection of 20 mostly high-shine shades (four have a terrific matte finish), you can go as loud as you like with rich purples, reds and pinks.

The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Bath Tea (€19.95)

I don’t know about you, but a long soak in the bath does wonders for my mood and sense of wellbeing. A bath tea was a new one on me, but I was happy to steep in green tea, relax and unwind. Great before bed.

Ren Wake Wonderful Night Time Facial €43

I’m a big fan of Ren: its products really work. This mask delivers instant gratification. It’s packed with skin-friendly acids and moisturisers that will give you an instant glow and fresher skin. Definitely one to put on the wishlist.
