I’m a sucker for pared-back packaging any day, but this super budget-friendly product really does what it says on the packet by way of hydration. It dealt to a seemingly always dry patch on the bridge of my nose after just a few days of applying morning and night, and overall my skin felt brighter, healthier and more supple. I’m an absolute convert. – Colleen O’Hanlon If, like me, your skin is both dry and sensitive, this is the product for you. Rich and hydrating, and packed with anti-ageing superstars like hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5 and vitamin E, it leaves my face feeling soft and looking bright. While this product is most definitely an oil, it s not actually oily; the serum soaks right on in there and makes a perfect base for your moisturiser. - Senior Entertainment reporter, Emily Brookes

When I first stated using make-up, one of the first things I learned to do was a sharp slash of eyeliner. That was back in the 80s, when the rage was for lining your eye in a thick smear of black kohl and then spending the rest of the night trying not to blink it all over your eyelid. Grim times.
