2. Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara $58
Volume, length, separation and curl; that's the Holy Grail of mascara followers and Lancome attracts more worshippers than other prestige brands for its ability to deliver a convincing message to lashes. Now with cutie pie packaging.
3. Taylor Swift Wonderstruck rollerball 10ml eau de parfum $31
Ideal sized fragrance to pop in a clutch bag, though if you're not into sweet, Miss Swift won't strike the right chord. There is also a 200ml scented body gel ($45) and lotion ($47). (From Farmers and selected stores, or online.)
4. Stila Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss in Euphoria $62
This is one of those glosses that gives a lipstick-like performance, but with a comfortable moist feel. It brushes on in a dark berry shade that lasts. Stila also makes superior lighter glosses and lip and cheek stains. (Get it from Mecca.)
5. Becca Lip and Cheek Creme in Tuberose $65
This watermelon pink is great to enliven lips and cheeks, but if you fancy something more subtle there are delicate pink, peach and caramel tones too. Blends well and being shimmer-free leaves a natural look, and the little compact with mirror is easy to carry about. (From the Department Store and Glamorpuss, Newmarket.)
