category of winning products – and this vitamin C-charged<br />

whipped gel balm/mask hybrid (which has a lovely scent<br />

of frankincense, orange, geranium and lemon) put on an<br />

incredibly impressive show, for the price. (Not cheap-cheap,<br />

but darned good value.) “Even with light movements it<br />

gives an instant facelift – in fact, I can’t believe the impact<br />

this product has in such little time with so little product!”<br />

Smooth in a line-blurring primer. If you’re redoing<br />

your make-up, a primer really will make it say put<br />

for longer – and my personal favourite is the new-ish<br />

Guerlain Blurring Active Base, £32 for 30ml, with a<br />

fab complexion-smoothing action (and the wonderful,<br />

signature violet-rose scent of Guerlain’s make-up collection).<br />

Let Sam McKnight fix your hair. Earlier this year, Sam<br />

– session stylist to the stars (no kidding) – brought out<br />

the most brilliant collection of styling products, which<br />

I’ve been using as quick fixes when my own hair’s overdue<br />

a blow-dry. (Perfumer Lyn Harris – founder of Miller<br />

Harris, now with her own fabulous Perfumer H boutique<br />

on London’s Crawford Street) – created the scents. There’s<br />

a quartet of products, of which I’m using three – starting<br />

with Cool Girl – a lightweight texturizing spray for (and I<br />

quote Sam) “rock ’n’ roll and sexy, the hair that everyone<br />

wants”. It breaks up a too-smooth hairdo beautifully,<br />

delivering a great chunky finish that doesn’t have to be too<br />

just-rolled-out-of-bed if you use just a little. Lazy Girl is<br />

a terrific dry shampoo in lightweight powder-mist form.<br />

Don’t just think of it as something to get hair clean; dry<br />

shampoos can be genius for adding a bit of volume when<br />

hair’s gone pancake-flat. Last but not least, Easy Up-Do will<br />

soon become a must-have if you are fond of a chignon or<br />

a bun, and perhaps planning to put your hair up for a<br />

party. Sam describes it as “20 hairpins in a can”, because<br />

it literally transforms the texture of hair, to give it “hold<br />

and bite”. (Prices are £19-25 for 250ml at liberty.co.uk).<br />

Thus, Cinderella, you shall go to the ball. Or the carol<br />

concert. Or the office karaoke ‘do’. And nobody, but<br />

nobody, need know just how knackered you really are…<br />
