Tried and tested: Handy-pack sun creams
This dinky tube fits nicely in your palm. I tried the SPF50 and the creamy consistency is pretty thick, so required some rubbing in, but you’re rewarded with a fresh, holiday fragrance and non-greasy finish.
I loved the accurate dispenser on this skinny tube – ideal for throwing in my handbag. The super-lightweight formula absorbs instantly, making it perfect for quickly applying over or under make-up.
Best suited for dry skin, this high SPF hydrates like a moisturiser but doesn’t leave a sticky finish. I’m usually quite sensitive to face SPFs (eye watering/redness) but didn’t have any problems with this.
Make holiday packing a breeze with Fragrances of Ireland’s Sampler Gift Set. Containing three of their signature scents - Caru, Inis and Moonlight, the mini edit is ideal for fragrance-loving globetrotters who want to bring a little bit of the homeland with them. Available from www.perfume.ie for €29.95 with free delivery.
When it comes to beauty retail therapy, half of people surveyed (52%) shop online to avoid pushy sales assistants, while more than a third (36%) say they buy via the web due to a lack of time, according to a new vouchercloud.com survey. From Sunday to Tuesday is when most (46%) online beauty sales are made, with Tuesday the most popular day to order those new cosmetics, potions and perfumes - leaving plenty of time to ensure they arrive by the weekend.
