New Fake Bake Fair is described as a gradual tanner: apply like a regular tan, before bed, and aim to build it up over a few nights until you reach your perfect, natural-looking glow. €34.95

Standing in front of a sea of identical bottles Jo Malone fragrances, unsure which way to turn? Here's a hint: Sweet Lime & Cedar is inspired by the diverse flavours of Thai cuisine, making it a brilliant choice for free- spirited, well-travelled…
