Infused with biotin, the eyeliner even works to nourish your natural lashes upon wear. Sold.

Andrew Fitzsimons Virgin Repair Restructuring Mask, €16.99 THE days may be dark but I’m bringing you some light with my favourite products, all under €20 and this one is a cult favourite. Formulated with ceramides, this deeply conditioning hair mask helps protect the hair from future damage by leaving it super shiny, soft and smooth. There’s no need to put up with breakage, frizz, dry or damaged tresses any longer.

Nuxe Rêve de Miel Honey Lip Care, €16.50

aside from your bank balance, one thing that has likely taken a hit over the festivities is your lips.

If you’re dealing with a cracked, sore kisser, this iconic lip balm is about to become your new best friend. The honey-scented oil nourishes and beautifies dry lips with zero stickiness. How cute is the wooden stopper too.

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Spray, €13.95 JANUARY is miserable enough, so let’s do it with a tan. When I am caught on the hop, which is often, this instant spray is my go-to. I have been using it since I was a teenager, and it has never let me down. Although my mother will say I ruined many a good bath towel in my time by spraying it too liberally, so be sure to aim for your mitt. Truly a long-lasting makeup for your pins that stays put.
