9. Best new luxury men’s fragrance
Boss
Orange Man Edt, $70.5

brash or overly complex; just gentle, comforting and sexy – exactly how we like
its wearer.

luxury make-up product: face
Clinique
Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Makeup Spf15, $40.5
Joining its sell-out Repairwear skincare

revolutionary beauty product of the last 20 year
Liz
Earle Naturally Active Skincare Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, $22.43
Salon-fresh skin is genuinely achievable at

with the accompanying muslin cloth.

self-tan or suncare product
St
Tropez Naturals Self Tan Lotion, $39
At last, a 100 percent natural ‘tanning’
agent Vegetan that still produces the luxurious and authentic bronze finish
you’d expect. But what else would you expect from the brand that made fake tan
fashionable?
14. Best new
hand, foot and nail care product
L’occitane
Immortelle Hand Cream, $24
This decadent hand cream’s key ingredient,
the immortelle flower extract, could almost be sprinkled with anti-ageing gold
dust as it stimulates collagen production to fill wrinkles and boosts
microcirculation to enhance cell renewal.

luxury women’s fragrance
Marc
Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Edt, $72
Yes, you can bottle a sunny day in the park
according to Marc Jacobs, whose whimsical daytime fragrance includes crisp
raspberry, wild rose and warm plum. It also hits the mark design-wise; just
looking at the bottle will make you smile.

Yard Remedies Beauty Sleep Concentrate, $48.38
Parched skins rejoice; this wonderful serum
