Estee Lauder 'Advanced Night Repair' Synchronised Recovery ComplexThis just seems to work for my skin, and once you find something that works you stick with it! I always use it after flying to rehydrate my skin. (£45 for 50ml).
Bvlgari Jasmin NoirI like this because it's not too overpowering, perfect for wearing during the day when you don't need something heavy. The purse-size spray is so handy and doesn't create extra weight in my handbag. (£48.45).
Caudalie Beauty ElixirMy Secret weapon to fight against our office's stuffy central heating. I spritz this on as often as I remember to refresh and brighten my skin (£9.90 for 30ml).
Aveda Stress Fix ConcentrateI always keep this on my desk and roll it on my wrists when things get frantic in the office. I find it helps me keep calm and remember to take a break every now and again (£21).
Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Brownberry - I'm a huge fan of these because they give a hint of a colour but aren't too shiny or sticky like so many other glosses. (£18.50).
MAC Lip Conditiner (Tube) - This is one of my go-to lip balms, it's really hydrating and smells good too. It has a thin and feather-like consistency which I love. (£11).

My Beauty icon… Olivia Palermo – I would kill to look as groomed as she does. My formative beauty moment… Stealing some of my mum’s Guerlain Météorites (one ball in each colour) and hiding them in my own little pot. Eavesdropped from an MUA… Applying foundation only where you really need it, rather than all over your face – it stops you getting that mask-like look. Balm, lipstick or gloss… Tinted balm – all the colour without the goop. My default face… By Terry Sheer Expert Foundation or Lancôme Ageless MinéraleMax Factor False Lash Effect MascaraPaul & Joe Eyebrow Pencil, Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing PowderBobbi BrownBlush, Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip BalmAlways in my bathroom… Estée Lauder Advanced Night RepairSkinceuticals PhloretinCFFresh Soy Face CleanserMy beauty shame… Messing with tiny imperfections and making them a million times worse – I should really know better. My fantasy trolley dash… Selfridges – it’s got it all!
