Monique Lhuillier using Mac

Prepare to journey into the deep as the new season’s beauty takes us on a watery voyage with greens, aquamarines and sea-soaked products that promise to wash away the winter blues…

Zing the new blues

Sweep Kiko Water Eyeshadow in Indigo Blue (£8.90, kikocosmetics.com) up to brows for Monique Lhuillier’s wave of colour. Transform it at night with Mac Pigment in Golden Lemon (£16.50, maccosmetics.co.uk) at the inner corners of your eyes. Or channel Issey Miyake water babies by mixing Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadow in Eternal Silver (£4.99, boots.com) into lip balm and washing it over lids.

  Marine dreamy 

Once upon a decade ago, Elemis created Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, an anti-ageing gel-cream containing a trio of moisturising seaweeds so effective that one pot is now sold every minute. To celebrate its birthday, it is available in a limited-edition aqua blue pot that can be refilled for the next ten years. £99, timetospa.co.uk.

Make a splash with this limited-edition aqua blue nail varnish and your S/S 13 wardrobe will thank you for it. Every season, Headline Colors identifies the five shade trends that’ll make it from the catwalks into our closets – then blends nail polishes to match. You can get your pinkies on Poolside Party, £9, at victoriahealth.com.

 

Mood indiglow

Are lighter mornings disrupting your sleep? The Philips Hue links your bedside lamp to your iPad or iPhone, allowing you to create your own personal ambience using its different settings or even lighting based on your favourite photos. For a great night’s sleep, we chose its Deep Sea mode and nodded off to the indigo glow. £179.95, apple.com/uk

Guerlain Jambes de Gazelle

A sunnier spritz

Give winter pins some instant summer loving with a swoosh of Guerlain Jambes de Gazelle. Back by popular demand after being discontinued, it creates an instant back-from-the-beach sheen – and sends senses reeling with its tropical scent. £36, available nationwide from tomorrow.
