Product Watch: December’s hair and beauty launches

Bobbi Brown’s Christmas collection is more private members’ club glam than her signature natural-look makeup. The artist describes ‘Scotch on the Rocks’ as “a gorgeous combination of sexy, strong and confident.” Her Warm Glow Eye Palette, €69, has a faux-croc leather case and a versatile selection of shimmer and glitter shadows in nudes, brown and champagne. The seasonal Lip Gloss, €24, and Nail Polish, €14, comes in a more traditional range of burgundy, cherry and rose. The rich Scotch on the Rocks Lip Colour, €29, looks best in Beige Gold. My top pick is the Highlighting Powder, €43, which comes in Bronze Glow and Pink Glow and provides elegant, subtle highlighting for the face.
