Here are the must-have beauty items of the week… from £3.99 Radox Bath Oil to £72 Elizabeth Arden Night Serum

We share a selection of this month's must-have beauty buys which won't break the bank.

Splash out

With the evenings drawing in, I’ve rekindled my love for baths and, thanks to Radox’s new range, my end-of-the-day soaks are more relaxing than ever.

Just one capful of Revitalizing Eucalyptus Bath Oil, £3.99, creates the most beautifully de-stressing aroma, while the Bath Therapy Detoxed Bath Salts, £4.99, wash anyway any impurities after a busy day.

Hair we go

After months spent basking in sunshine and dipping in and out of chlorine-treated pools, my hair can’t get enough of Grow Gorgeous Intense Thickening Hair & Scalp Mask, £25.

Formulated with amino acids to help disguise the appearance of damaged strands and hyaluronic acid to deliver intense moisture to the scalp, my post-summer locks have never looked so good.

Face up

When I discovered dermatologists recommend you start using retinol in your mid-20s, I thought I’d better get some quick-smart!

I’ve been applying one capsule of Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum, £72 for 60, to my face and neck after my evening cleanse, and I’m really impressed.

My skin is smoother and any dryness has been kept in check. Despite the steep price tag, these are worth the investment – I’m a total convert!

Sleep tight

I’m ashamed to say I’m not someone who religiously gets my eight hours of sleep a night, but now, thanks to This Works Sleep Power Nap Spray, £28, I can get some ZZZs in the afternoon without feeling guilty.

Formulated for irregular sleepers, the product stems from research that suggests napping peaks creativity and reduces stress.

A few sprays of the calming lavender, vetivert and camomile blend on my pillow and I’m out like a light, whatever the time of day.

Ask Beauty Editor Lauren

I couldn’t agree more – the majority of foundations just aren’t versatile enough for modern-day life!

There is one exception, however. For truly custom coverage, No7 Match Made Custom Blend Foundation Drops, £18, are foolproof.

Just add 1-3 drops to your moisturiser or primer depending on the level of coverage you want.

Visit a No7 counter in Boots and they’ll even give you a hi-tech shade match.

However, if you’re enjoying the foundation you already have, try playing around with your application techniques.

Using a wet Beautyblender, £17, to apply your foundation will add extra glow and, thanks to the new Beautyblender Blender Defender case, £10, you can top up on the go – it’s my new handbag must-have!
