I'm a beauty editor who tests hundreds of new beauty products – these are the best new launches this month from £16
EVERY day's a school day, as they say, and I've just learned something new about myself. Normally, I have an aversion to hand cream - I understand why it's good, but the experience puts me off. I hate the greasy residue, and how it leaves behind smeared fingerprints on everything I touch after applying. But I've now found a cheat-code that makes me want to keep reapplying - cute packaging. Like a child who won't eat veg, by hiding it in something pretty, it's suddenly palatable. 7 I'm a sucker for pretty packaging Credit: Guerlain Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Hand Cream, £52 READ MORE IN BEAUTY The product that brought me to this conclusion are , which comes in three scents inspired by the brand's iconic perfumes - a fruity blackcurrant and lychee, a zesty mandarin and green tea, and a fresh cucumber and mint - housed in pretty pastel-coloured, hexagonal packaging that fits into the palm of my hand.

Most read in Fabulous Before you start - yes, I know they're ridiculously expensive, but I went cold turkey with gel manicures after Christmas, and have saved myself a small fortune by skipping the fortnightly salon appointments, so I can justify the cost (girl math!), especially as they last a lot longer than a manicure of the same price. 7 I'm a fan of Dior's new mascara Credit: DIOR BEAUTY Dior Diorshow Overvolume Mascara, £35 It's a great month for Dior launches , as has also wowed me - I'm a long-time fan of Dior mascaras. The brand's , was one of the first luxe beauty products I bought over a decade ago, and I've loved pretty much every mascara since then, but when I saw the campaign imagery for the latest launch, I thought I'd hate it. The main benefit is volume, and I often find volumising mascaras can leave lashes heavy and clumped together, so usually I'd steer clear. To my surprise, the super-flexible brush combed through lashes, defining them while adding volume, so they didn't end up stuck together. It doesn't flake or irritate my sensitive eyes, and it has stood up to my constant weeping thanks to hay fever. I've been using it every day for almost a month, so it's safe to say it's got my seal of approval. 7 Clarin's new formula is a game-changer Credit: CLARINS Clarins Double Serum Light Texture, £65 It's not the only new product I was eagerly anticipating this month. When Clarins announced the launch of - a lightweight version of the brand's best-selling - I practically jumped with joy. I'm all for efficiency and love a serum that does it all, so the combination of brightening antioxidants to even my skin tone, hydrating squalane and glycerin, collagen boosting tri-peptides and soothing aloe, oat and turmeric to reduce redness and inflammation, is right up my street. It absorbs quickly and feels weightless on my face - after just a few weeks, my skin looks and feels healthier, so I can't wait to see the results by the time I finish the bottle. 7 Nuxe's roll-on makes application easy on-the-go Credit: NUXE Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Roll-On, £26 Similarly, as soon as , came out, I immediately questioned why they'd not thought of housing the iconic oil (which has an incredible scent of magnolia, orange blossom and vanilla that's like sunshine in a bottle) in a roll-on sooner. Much like the hand-cream issue, I tend to dislike applying body oil as it's messy and ends up everywhere, but the roll-on completely eliminates that - it's so faff-free, you can even apply it once you're dressed! It's not often I praise an entire brand, especially new ones, but when I saw Tocobo in the new-in section on I had to try it all. 7 K-beauty brand Tocobo has recently launched in Boots Credit: Tocobo Tocobo Multi Ceramide Cream, £21 The fun packaging looks like something that belongs in the Barbie house, but the formulas inside are far more sophisticated.

New mascara that gives incredible volume in one swipe and enhances blue eyes
If you want lots of volume from your mascara, our beauty editor Laura has found an excellent new one, with the added benefit of enhancing eye colour too As someone who wears mascara pretty much every day, I'll always jump at the chance to try out new ones as soon as they launch, forever on the hunt for the 'perfect' one. I've recently hit upon one of the best mascaras for lengthening, but if it's noticeable volume you look for in a formula, I was instantly impressed by this new one. Dior already has one smash hit mascara on its hands with Diorshow Overcurl Mascara, and now it's back 'over'-delivering with its newest one, Diorshow Overvolume Mascara, £35, with claims that include lashes that appear 440% fuller, an intensely pigmented black, and no-transfer, 24-hour wear. Thanks to diligent use of lash serums my eyelashes are long and plentiful but they're fair and fine, so I like a mascara that really amps up the volume without clumping – and I think I've found one here... Dior Diorshow Overvolume Mascara review First up, a brief moment for the packaging. With a luxe black quilted design, it's inspired by Dior's iconic handbags, and I think one of the brand's most striking yet. A definite win in the style stakes. It has my favourite type of mascara brush – silicone bristled – in an hourglass shape that does a great job at reaching between and grabbing every hair. What impressed me first was just how quick it is to apply and achieve a voluminous look, without having to go over and over your lashes; you could honestly be done in one or two swipes. Most days one layer is enough for me, but I sometimes wiggle a second coat into the roots of the lashes for added dimension. Cleverly, it delivers dramatic volume without clumping or looking spidery – a real 'false lash effect'. Another surprising benefit was just how flattering the colour was against my blue eyes, and it actually reminded me of a similar effect from using the black Diorshow Liquid Liner; Dior just does black pigments so well. I would never test a mascara's 24-hour claim, but it definitely lasted well all day without any smudging or flaking (it did just seem to 'fade' a little bit as the hours wore on, so I would add another coat if I was going out in the evening). Another minor niggle is that the brush is a little big for doing your lower lashes; I would have preferred a pointier tip for painting these tiny hairs. Overall, though, despite how fussy I am about mascara, I've been super impressed by this new Dior formula for the volume and pigment it delivers, and it has become a new firm favourite in my make-up bag. If, however, you find that the only mascaras that don't smudge on you are tubing mascaras, you should try Too Faced's new Ribbon Wrapped Lash Mascara, £28. And for length, nothing much beats Haus Labs' B Structural Volumizing + Lengthening Mascara, £27, for me.
