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 />
130x90 Running Hub <strong>Wealden</strong><strong>Times</strong> ad 12.15_130x90 Running Hub <strong>Wealden</strong>T<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 />
