Clarins Fix Make-Up spray is a brilliantly hydrating and refreshing mist that sets makeup in place and helps it to last longer. The cooling spray revives radiance that can be lost with the application of foundation and powder, and brightens the complexion with a boost of Vitamin C. It also absorbs excess shine and 'fixes' make-up so that it doesn't fade or slip. Apply throughout the day for a refreshing lift and a healthy glow. Hydrates especially well in air-conditioned environments and hot climates. Rose Cohobat softens Grapefruit brightens Silica Microspheres control shine

This really works for me. It gives my face a lovely glow, and it's so cooling and very refreshing. I keep it in my handbag and spray very liberally throughout the day to give my make up a boost. It also has a lovely fragrance. A must for me.

 Clarins Instant Light Complexion Perfector
Clarins Instant Light Complexion Perfector
A true beauty secret. The Clarins Instant Light Complexion Perfector illuminates to reveal skin's radiant freshness and natural transparent beauty. The lightweight, fluid texture is imperceptible on the skin, instantly melting to leave the complexion smooth and even. The perfector ensures that the complexion stays flawless and satin-smooth in any lighting and fixes make-up, giving a natural, long-lasting result for all skin types. Apply a small amount over the whole face with a foundation brush or with fingertips, either alone or underneath foundation. Can be mixed with foundation to create a dewy finish, or to create a naturally luminous glow, dab onto the browbone and the tops of cheeks after applying foundation. Clarins Anti-Pollution Complex protects against free radicals and environmental aggressions

This is probably the best of its kind around, and I've just ordered another. I mix it with my foundation, and wow, what a difference, it gives my skin a lustre with a beautiful radiant finish. I sometimes use it on its own and it's just as good. I've got Rose Shimmer which is such a pretty colour. I can't recommend this highly enough, and it's certainly a product I couldn't be without.

 Stila Perfecting Concealer 8ml
Stila Perfecting Concealer 8ml
The full coverage Perfecting Concealer hides away a multitude of sins! Idea for diminishing the appearance of eye circles and other imperfections, it is a secret weapon for complexion perfection. Despite its full coverage, the Perfecting concealer leaves a delicate, semi-matte finish that doesn't look or feel too heavy. It is extremely blendable and versatile - it can even be used as a full coverage foundation for those with numerous imperfections. Scars, redness, capillaries, and pigmentation are disguised, and high colour is neutralised for a more perfected finish. For a more natural finish, use your fingers to apply the Perfecting Concealer. Press the product into skin rather than swiping it for greater longevity and a more forgiving finish. Conceal blemishes with a diffused stippling motion with your chosen concealer brush.

This is one of the best concealers I've used. It's full coverage but isn't heavy, and a little goes a long way. It blends easily, and covers my little imperfections very well. I bought shade D for the summer, but will have to get a lighter colour for the winter though.

This is a very pretty primer. It leaves my skin with a soft sheen that isn't greasy like some I've tried. It makes my complexion look fresher, and when I use a tinted moisturise over it, it gives my skin a lovely glow. It also has a nice fragrance too.

What a great brush this is. Because the handle is short, and the brush itself so large it makes using it very easy. You don't over powder/bronze because you only really need one application. It's soft and gives a flawless look. A good purchase.

This is a beautiful soft fragrance, and if you love orange blossom, you'll love this. Ideal for day, but a bit too light for me for evening. A good sized bottle too, and well priced.

Just what's needed for dry skin around the eyes. Easy to apply, and quite rich for a eye balm. I use this at night as a teense bit rich for the day, for me. I love all Clarins products, and this doesn't disappoint.

 Daniel Sandler Baby Jet Mascara 4.5ml Black
Daniel Sandler Baby Jet Mascara 4.5ml Black
Bring all of your lashes out to play with the Daniel Sandler Baby Jet Mascara, a little mascara that makes a big impact! There's no excuse to miss those little lashes anymore, as Baby Jet's micro-fine brush grabs each and every one to elongate and defins them, bringing them to their full potential. The glossy and intensely black formulation makes for especially luscious lashes that are perfect for making a flutter in the daytime. Daniel says: "If you slightly wiggle the mascara brush from the lash to the tips, they'll look even thicker. Gently bend the brush 30 degrees to help application and get a true pro finish." Hypoallergenic.

This really is a good mascara, and the slimline brush a great idea. My eyesight not being 100%, using a fat brush blocks my line of vision, and mascara ends up being everywhere except where it should be. This brush is fabulous, it not only gets the mascara onto the lashes in the inner corners, but the lower lashes look more defined as well. I do the 'wiggling' bit that Daniel suggested, and it really works. Makes my lashes look thicker and longer. A great product.

If Escentual hadn't put a sample of this in with a previous order, I probably wouldn't have thought twice. But I'm so glad they did, because I adore this. It's ever so slightly sweet, but with flowery and spicy notes which last for hours. Gorgeous. Next time I may splash out and buy the Eau de Parfum.

Captivating and voluptuous, the Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Eau de Parfum is a legendary femme fatale. The supremely seductive oriental floral fragrance opens with a romantic note of rose, velvety and sweet. In the heart, the warmth of orange blossom creates a solar impression, before the creaminess of vanilla caresses the skin. The Eau de Parfum is a richer version of Classique with a higher concentration of perfume oils than its Eau de Toilette counterpart, ensuring a long-lasting fragrance. Our Fragrance Expert says: "Released in 1993 simply as "Jean Paul Gaultier" Classique is a voluptuous and buxom floral oriental with notes of rose, orange blossom and vanilla. The perfume is a contemporary twist on a classic style, with a gauche spirit that epitomises all that is Jean Paul Gaultier - naughty but nice." Top Notes: Rose Heart Notes: Orange Blossom Base Notes: Vanilla

A lovely feminine fragrance, and for an Eau de Parfum, not too heavy. A beautiful mixture of floral and oriental musk. And what a gorgeously shaped bottle. One of my favourites.
