5 Smart Beauty Buys To Add To Your Summer Wishlist

By Sarah Halliwell

What’s on our radar? …

Clarins mascara

LONG LASHES

I’m currently using the new Clarins Wonder Perfect 5D mascara (€35) – it’s a beauty. The glamorous tall glass tube contains an inky, lash-lengthening formula, as black as ink. Check out the neat new brow gels (clear and tinted, €28.50), too – they bump up your brows while looking entirely natural.

Hildun

GLOW UP

Make-up artist Hannah Martin has collaborated with Irish-owned Hildun again this year. The summery Peptide Pearl Balms (€22) come in three shades. The Italian-made balms gleam with micro pearls so you get a sheeny, reflective glow that’s also hydrating. Very pretty. @hildunbeauty

Trinny London

FINE LINES

Lip liners are a key tool to pair with summer lipglosses, adding definition and a bit of a boost. For the luxury option, check out the new La Beauté Louis Vuitton collection of LV Crayon lip liners, €50 each; there’s even a Pochette pencil case to keep them in. Also, Trinny London’s new Line2Define Lip Liners (€28) work perfectly with the light, non-sticky Pro-Collagen Lip Oils (€30) to enhance lips easily.

REFY APRICOT_WATERCOLOUR_COLLECTION

COLOUR POP

Refy, a range of user-friendly make-up under €30, is new at Brown Thomas. Try the UK brand’s easy to wear Watercolour blushes and bronzers.

Shower Steamer

SHOWER SCENT

Treat yourself to a Donegal-made Shower Steamer (€5 each): put it in the shower, away from the water source, and essential oils of lavender or mint will mingle with the steam.
