I've Worn This 'Radiant' Skin Tint for Nearly A Decade – It's Still The Best One I've Ever Tried
The desperation for sunshine is constant when living in the UK. On the rare days the sun decides to show up, it barely sticks around long enough to leave a glow - let alone a tan - and when you do manage to soak up a few rays? It's all sunburn, peeling, and regret. My only option? A tinted serum. One product that has been a constant in my beauty arsenal for over eight years is By Terry's CC Serum in Sunny Flash. As a very fair-skinned girl, I'm always looking for a product that removes unwanted blue undertones and adds a natural, healthy-looking glow to my skin - and this serum hits the brief, and then some. Bronzing drops are one of the best ways to achieve that fresh off the plane glowy look, with many hitting viral status recently; notable mentions are Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi and L'Oréal's Glotion, but none quite satisfied me quite as much as By Terry's CC serum. Although I've tried countless bronzing drops, I always find myself going back to this radiant, glowy formula. 1. Shop: By Terry Cellularose CC Serum - No.4 Sunny Flash So, why do I love it? Firstly, the shade: Sunny Flash instantly makes me look like I have had a two-week holiday tan, minus the jet lag or sun guilt. It's the most popular shade in the ever-growing line-up, and one that I used to regularly recommend to customers during my time working at SpaceNK, regardless of skin tone. The phrase 'universally flattering' gets thrown around, but this shade is designed to add warmth and radiance to every skin tone with its bronzy hue. Forget unflattering orange tones; the golden, bronze serum glides over the skin and instantly creates a hydrated and tanned finish. The texture mimics a hydrating, water-based serum you'd typically apply before moisturiser. However, this versatile formula can be applied as a primer, a complexion booster, mixed with your foundation or alone without any further make-up. The colour-correction formula helps to disguise any discolouration in the skin and treats any unwanted tones to leave the skin looking more even. Although this product doesn't gradually tan the skin, it instantly cheats the appearance of a warmer complexion, and I for one, would be lost without it.

Five beauty hacks to look better during a heatwave
The mini heatwave over the next few days will see some parts of the UK reach temperatures of 28 degrees, making it the warmest April in Britain in seven years. This means, of course, being extra diligent with sun protection. (SPF is not just for holidays!) But while your mind may be preoccupied with the thought of a new pair of sandals for the warmer weather, think also of the beauty implications of the heat. They are not desirable, for the most part: sweaty, shiny skin and frizzy hair come to mind. Fear not. A couple of key weatherproofing products will help see you through the mini heatwave. Heat-proof make-up As soon as the weather warms up, we need to rethink our base makeup. Ditch your usual foundation and apply concealer where you need it with a light translucent powder over the t-zone if you need it. By Terry's Hyaluronic Pressed Hydra-Powder is a best-seller for a reason. It hydrates the skin while reducing shine, so it is perfect for midlife skin. It might be good to switch to a more matte formula on the lips rather than anything too shiny. The Bisou Balms by Violette FR work really well to impart a powdery hint of colour on the lips without feeling too dry. The brand's latest shade, Mon Cheri, is a suits-everyone nude-brown. And of course, eyelashes will benefit from a waterproof mascara in the heat to avoid panda eyes. A really good option for a waterproof mascara is the Maybelline Lash Sensation Sky High Waterproof mascara. However, if you'd prefer not to use a waterproof formula, try a tubing mascara instead. These humid-proof heroes create little tubes around the lashes to add volume and length, without going crusty or flaky. Once you're ready to remove the mascara, you simply 'roll' the tubes away with warm water. The Unlocked Instant Mascara by Hourglass is one of the best around. Anti-shine essentials Start thinking about keeping your skin cool from the moment you put on your moisturiser. If you are prone to oily skin, try switching to a lighter moisturiser, such as the Light Moisturiser by Skin Rocks, £56. (As an added bonus, this cream is available in fragrance and fragrance-free formulas.) Next, find a UV protector and make-up primer in one: Murad Oil And Pore Control Mattifier SPF45 PA++++, protects, mattifies and keeps your make-up place. While blotting papers have been around for decades, they really do help to keep shine at bay. The Aburatorigami Japanese Blotting Papers by Tatcha are highly effective and slim enough to slot into your purse. Cooling facial spritz If you really feel the heat, a cooling face spritz is a saviour. Not only will they freshen up the skin, they will also add moisture back into the skin (excessive sweating can leave the skin feeling dehydrated). We love the Spots and Stripes Refreshing Face Mist or the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra 8 Face Mist. Heat-busting hair 'A ponytail is always good for a heatwave because it keeps you cool,' says Paul Percival, co-founder of Percy & Reed. 'To keep the look modern, just keep the pony quite low, and give it a slightly wet texture if you can (try Percy & Reed's Session Styling Define & Hold Finishing Cream). 'Another tip is to give your hair a cold rinse post-shampoo, not just to keep you cool but to shut the hair cuticle and help prevent hot-weather frizz,' he adds. To combat greasy roots, a dry shampoo works wonders in warmer temperatures. We love Batiste Instant Hair Refresh Dry Shampoo & Volume which is available at supermarkets and high street chemists. Fight the frizz-factor If high humidity levels are sending your follicles into a mushroom-shaped frenzy, try a portable product to help. The Briogeo Style + Treat Yuzu + Plum Oil Sleek Stick looks like a roll-on deodorant - but that's where the similarities end. It is fantastic for smoothing flyaways and keeping your style looking smooth and slick.

These refillable lipsticks are the new future heirlooms
One of the biggest trends in make-up for spring/summer is the refillable lipstick, and all the top labels are offering their own take. From Lisa Eldridge, By Terry and Guerlain to Chanel, Dior and Hermès, investing in a high-quality case concealing a beautiful bullet of colour is the most stylish way to update your routine right now. Undoubtedly the push for sustainability, which has become increasingly important in the beauty industry in the past few years, is driving part of the appeal – but there's more to it than that, including the 'lipstick index' – a term coined by Estée Lauder's Leonard Lauder, who theorised that lipstick sales go up during financially turbulent times because we need a relatively inexpensive injection of joy. I'd also argue that in politically uncertain climates (such as ours), we covet comforting possessions that last; beautiful items we can hold on to; something to cherish and pass down (or up) to the next generation. For years the classic heirloom, gifted from parent to offspring, was a watch. Increasingly, as beauty moves away from its transient and disposable nature, I think we're going to see these types of objects (which, like watches, can also be engraved) being handed down. As the proud owner of a tiny Estée Lauder powder compact that used to belong to my late grandmother, maybe I would say that. But I love that every time I use it, I'm reminded of her. Alongside the emotional aspect, there's also a very physical presence to the compact that gives it a sense of permanence: it feels weighty in your hand; it gives a satisfying click when you close it. The new refillable lipsticks are similarly designed for longevity – created to outlast not just a season or two, but several generations. Terry de Gunzburg, of By Terry, says she too bonded with her grandmother over beauty, eventually designing By Terry's refillable lipstick, Rouge Opulent, £49 in honour of their shared passion. By Terry Rouge Opulent Lipstick, £49 'During my childhood, I had the privilege of being surrounded by my grandmother's beautiful collection of precious cosmetic objects,' she says, recalling 'a Cartier refillable compact case, a Van Cleef jewelled lipstick case adorned with sapphires and rubies, a gold mesh powder case, and lipstick. My mother cherished these treasures and passed them down to me. They are like family heirlooms, shaping my style and my vision of ultimate sustainable luxury.' Dior Rouge Premier Refillable Haute Couture Lipstick, £555 with refill This sense of heritage is reflected in the press materials for Dior's Rouge Premier lipstick, £555, a ceramic and 18ct gold case decorated with the toile de Jouy pattern Christian Dior chose for the walls of the first Dior boutique. '[It is] designed to last […] to be kept carefully over the years, following the tradition of valuable objects handed down from one generation to the next, like a legacy.' Chanel 31Le Rouge Satin Lipstick, £145 Similarly Chanel's 31 Le Rouge lipstick, £145 features a glass case, intended to echo the mirrored staircase in Coco Chanel's apartment, with two gold-coloured metal rings, described as being 'like two wedding bands that seal the precious union between the present and future.' Guerlain, arguably the pioneers of the trend having launched the first refillable lipstick in 1870, last year relaunched their Rouge G collection of cases, £67 with a hidden mirror, saying they are 'intended to be refilled, kept and passed on.' Guerlain Rouge G The Customisable Ultra-care Lipstick, £67 And, perhaps inevitably for items designed to be kept, the craftsmanship is jaw-dropping. Chanel spent four years trying to work out how you could make a glass case durable, and used a master glassmaker from Japan to design it. While Dior spent five years working with a Limoges-based porcelain company to create their ceramic case. For Lisa Eldridge, a long-time collector of vintage make-up, the desire was to create something covetable with genuinely sustainable credentials. The result is Rouge Experience, £49, a world-first with refills made entirely from aluminium — no plastic — so they can be easily and infinitely recycled. Lisa Eldridge Rouge Experience Refillable Lipstick, £49 'After years of collecting and studying beauty history my ultimate goal was to add something significant,' says Eldridge. ' And this uniquely beautiful object combines cutting edge futurism with old world charm.' Her design — like so many of the refillable lipsticks — has a timeless feel to it. And, while some of the cases have very distinguishing features (the Dior toile de Jouy is unmistakeable, and those in the know would clock those Hermes stripes at 20 paces) most don't scream their brand name at you. Hermes Rouge Amazone Engraved Limited Edition Lipstick, £66 In the same way that the most exclusive watches aren't instantly recognisable, these are beautiful, enduring objects given a twist by virtue of having a component that can be swapped according to the mood or style of the owner. So while your mother might have been a satin coral type, when you inherit her lipstick case, you can bespoke it with your own signature shade. Pierre Hardy who designed the Hermes case, said of it: 'Intuitively, to become timeless, this object had to be able to morph, remain iconic, but stay fluid, be part of a connected sequence, and perpetually recognisable. A constant yet ever-changing object.' It's that sort of individuality that makes them the ultimate status symbol, the very epitome of stealth luxury. And, in a world where everything seems so fast-paced and disposable, the elevation of such an everyday object to something that manages to combine tradition with modernity is a joy — to give, and to receive.
