Laura Mercier Caviar Hydra Crème Lipstick – 520 Flame Challis, £36
Does anything say super-sexy as provocatively as a daring red lip? Providing up to eight hours of pigment-true wear, this hydrating formula resists creasing, feathering and fading, and is a win for more mature skins because of this. Drying down with a sculpting satin finish, it helps to nourish the skin, minimising the look of fine lines and dryness.

bareMinerals GEN NUDE Blonzer Blush + Bronzer, £27.50
A clever hybrid that gives skin a soft, rosy warmth, like a natural flush rather than full-on bronzer. Buildable, easy to blend and flattering on everyone. A grown-up upgrade from the bronzers we lived in back in the day, and we’re very into it.

Marc Jacobs x Murakami Eau de Parfum, 50ml, from £90
A joyful reimagining of a classic, with Murakami’s iconic flowers decorating the Daisy bottle in vibrant colourways. The scent itself is creamy coconut, soft white peony and sweet praline, pretty, playful and very wearable. A collector’s piece that also smells lovely.
The pink, green and yellow will be available at Selfridges from 28 Jan, and will then launch on 25 Feb nationwide alongside the blue fragrance, but this one will remain exclusive to Boots. Shop Marc Jacobs other products here.
