THE MASSAGE SPOT:

Mason & Fifth

If you’re craving some R&R, you can’t beat a quality massage. Stylish Westbourne Park guesthouse Mason & Fifth has a newly-opened treatment room nestled within its wellness space The Grounding and it’s well worth a visit. Not sure what to book? The signature massage combines myofascial release with soothing touch to help you unwind, whereas the Deep Roots targets the muscles and connective tissues and relieves any built-up tension, leaving you feeling supple and revived. Plus, the pricing is refreshingly reasonable.

THE MAKE-UP KEEPSAKE:

Hourglass Charms

Trust us, an Hourglass palette is a failsafe make-up investment. Loved by the SL team for its ability to blur imperfections and give your skin a soft, lit-from-within quality, the coveted six-pans are rarely in stock for long. If you’re looking to treat yourself, head to Selfridges London where you can customise yours with gold charms. From celestial motifs and good luck talismans to gem-encrusted letters, there are plenty to choose from. The powder is so finely-milled, it feels like silk – go for ‘Volume I’ if you’re fair, otherwise ‘Volume II’ has a richness that looks beautiful on darker skin tones.

THE BRAND TO KNOW:

Cair

Created by the minds behind French heritage label La Bonne Brosse, Cair is now available to shop in the UK. Built on the idea that beautiful hair is healthy hair, it’s all about supporting and strengthening every layer of the hair’s ecosystem, from root to tip. Inspired by South Korean cosmetics but manufactured in France, the sulphate-free formulas are stripped-back but still efficacious, blending natural ingredients with hardworking actives such as caffeine and pollustop. Expect deep nourishment and a luxurious, salon-grade shine.

THE HAIR INNOVATION:

Dyson Omega

Forward-thinking Dyson never misses a trick, as proven by its latest hair drop. Having spent a decade experimenting with and investing in precision farming, the brand knows a thing or two about growing sunflowers – over 800,000 of them to be exact. Sunflower oil – the hero ingredient in Dyson’s new Omega line – works in tandem with other nutrient-rich plant oils like sesame, olive and avocado to deeply hydrate and smooth the cuticle. Currently there’s an oil and a leave-in conditioning spray, both of which are ideal for bringing sun-scorched hair back from the brink.

THE COOL-GIRL LASH TREND:

Ghost Lashes

If you love a clean, understated lash, this one’s for you. Barely there but still impossibly pretty, Ghost Lashes have been spotted on everyone from Sofia Richie Grainge to Hailey Bieber. Think weightless, whisper-soft lashes that give the illusion of skipping mascara but ultimately no one can quite tell. The key to nailing this look is keeping things minimal – either curl your lashes from the root to open up your eye and add a light coat of brown mascara, or you could even book in for a tint and lift combo treatment for an effect that looks fresh and minimal, without the added thickness of traditional mascara pigment.

THE LIPSTICK LAUNCH:

Guerlain Rouge G Majestic Feathers

Guerlain has knocked it out of the park with its limited-edition autumn collection. Inspired by feathers, the casing of its iconic Rouge G lipstick has been reimagined to pay homage to three majestic birds: the songbird, the phoenix and the peacock. There are no two ways about it – this lip launch has got future heirloom written all over it. There are eight new shades to choose from, available in the brand’s signature creamy, velvet-matte finish.
