Best Beauty Buys in April

1. ELEMIS BIOTEC - NEW Energising Skincare System

Elemis have just launched their latest skincare innovation 'Biotec' after 3 years of development.

This is the follow-up range to the original ground-breaking Biotec product a few years back - i tried it back then during a spa break at The Shelbourne Hotel and i can honestly say i looked 5 years younger after my Elemis Biotec Facial so it comes highly recommended. But if you can;t make it to your nearest Elemis salon now you can re-create the effects at home.

The new BIOTEC Skincare System range, includes a Cleanser, Day Cream and Night Cream, all priced from £39.50 (€50) upwards and is available from your local Elemis stockist

2. Shu Uemura's 'Straightforward Time-Saving Blow Dry Oil

I have that limp lankey hair that some of the less fortunate of us are blessed with, so i'm excited to try out Shu Uemura Art of Hair’s exciting new Straightforward Time-Saving Blow Dry Oil..

Even though putting oil on your limp hair may seem like a serious no-no, this works if you use it before blow drying, and keeps hair looking styled and controlled throughout the day, plus super shiny. It gets a thumbs up from me! (RRP €27)

3. Clarins Multi-Activ Duo

Clarins have created a dynamic duo that are set to turn back the clock for Women over 30 (if you feel you need it of course - we think you look fab as you are!). Consisting of a Day Cream (Jour) and Night Cream (Nuit), the Day Cream (€57) contains extracts of a South African plant Myrothamnus which helps retain tone in the skin. We're excited to find out the Night Cream (€60) contains extracts of Organic California Poppy (thats a new one for us!) that helps the skin look smoother and less stressed.

4. NUXE Nuxuriance Ultra range

Nuxe is a long-held favourite of mine, from the smell to the texture, they never miss a beat and you'lkl always feel like a born-again Glamour-puss when using it. The new Nuxuriance Ultra range isn't any different - its currently going through patenting because its so ground-breaking. It promises to leave wrinkles looking less obvious, skin replenished and to enhance natural radiance, and it does. My favourite in the range is (bit of a mouthful) the Nuxuriance Ultra Replenishing Serum Global Anti-aging (RRP €50)
