The next time you pick up a Cowshed product (from £9;
cowshed.com), you might notice it looks a little
different. The bath and body brand has undergone a
refresh – while the quality formulas and uplifting scents
remain the same, they’re now available in short, squat
500ml bottles, decorated with beautiful botanical
illustrations, and the cheeky product names like Moody
Cow and Knackered Cow have now
been replaced with simple spa-like
words such as Relax and
Replenish (although a small
part of me will miss
deciding who to buy
the Grumpy Cow range for
this Christmas...).If you’ve got your
skincare routine
down to a tee but
occasionally suffer
from the odd moment
of a) redness and
irritation, or b) dull,
tired-looking skin, keep
one of these Elemis
Boosters (£27 each;
elemis.com) on
standby. Shake to
mix the active
ingredients then
pat three drops
over your face
before your
moisturiser. Both
contain superfood
ingredients- calming cici
and agave and
brightening
pumpkin and
cherry – to bring
your skin back
to its best.

Lancôme has broken
the mould with its
latest fragrance, Idôle
Le Parfum (from £48;
nationwide), and not
just with its super-slim,
15mm-thick bottle
(it’s about the size
and shape of a
smartphone). The
ingredients are
ethically sourced, with
Lancôme supporting
social development
programmes around its
supply chain, and the
bottle is refillable at
more than 200
counters nationwide.
The fragrance itself
is equally as modern- a clean scent that
reimagines the classic
notes of rose.
