Tried and tested: Body lotions

A hydrating body lotion is all the more important during winter.

Korres Basil Lemon Body Milk, €13.45 ( www.lookfantastic.com )

“The perfect pick-me-up for skin during the colder months, this body milk combines almond oil and shea butter to provide suppleness and lasting hydration.

"The enriching, thick texture is quick-absorbing and for someone who typically avoids citrus scents, I was pleased to find the zesty fragrance light and fresh.”

4/5

Dove DermaSpa Goodness Body Lotion, €4.49 (Boots) “Winter can be tough on legs, hidden beneath tights and leggings.

This rich- textured lotion soaks in straight away, taking with it dry patches and leaving smooth, soft skin. Great price too.”

4/5

Kiehl’s Creme de Corps, €19.50 ( www.arnotts.ie ) “Rich and hydrating, this thick creme is ideal for dry winter weather.

"Despite its consistency, it doesn’t feel greasy or heavy, but melts into the body easily giving skin a silky gleam. After using once a day for a week, my skin felt wonderful. Definitely a hero product.”

Tom Ford Beauty has fast become the last word in luxe and the latest offering is no different.

The Patent Finish Lip Color, €48, promises ‘a new, lip color innovation’ combining a lip stain with a high-impact glossy finish.

It comes in the form of a click-pen with a sponge applicator — allowing you to neatly paint on the perfect pout.

And eight the colours are suitably bold from the bright cherry red of — No Vacancy to the vampy plum of Orchid Fatale. (Brown Thomas)

BEAUTY BULLETIN

Everyone is talking about REN’s just-released Instant Brightening Beauty Shot Eye Lift, €40. For the simple reason that it does what it says it will.

Containing hyaluronic acid and glycerine, it works instantly on fine lines and crow’s feet, tightening and firming while also intensely moisturising.

Too good to be true? We thought so but after just one use, we’re convinced. ( www.cloud10beauty.com )
