L’Oreal Paris new True Match Roll’on Foundation
It might not be the most glamorous piece of make-up kit but L’Oreal’s new True Match Roll’on Foundation is certainly worth checking out if only for the novelty factor. Featuring a miniature paint roller for applying the foundation with, it’s a pretty quirky invention and, gimmicks aside, it does do the trick effectively enough giving ultra-fine coverage to all the right areas. £12.71, at Boots.

Cleanse me
This rather strange looking object is actually a vibrating power cleanser and, believe it or not, it’s set to become the beauty must-have of 2009. The Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser is a sell-out success stateside, with four being sold every minute… And happy days - it’s now available this side of the pond, so we too can get with the wave power! But what’s the big deal we hear you ask? Well, this little baby vibrates to open up pores and emit a cool cleansing foam that deep cleans, removing more grime, oil and make up than traditional cleansing. What’s more, disposable pads are attached to the head so you can even change them to ensure it’s really really clean. What’s not to like? £12.99 from Boots.com

Flip-flops with a difference
I’ve just put my name down on the waiting list for a pair of FitFlops - the latest celebrity craze sweeping the UK and US. Having read the hype, I’m itching to get a pair… OK so I’m a sucker for anything hyped by A-listers but these functional and fashion-forward sandals are being billed as the flip-flop with the gym built - and that sounds good enough to me. Made with a multi-density midsole they are said to activate hard to reach muscles giving you a workout while you walk: each step tones and stimulates both your legs and your butt! How cool is that?! According to reports they’re flying off the shelves and I wanna be in on the action. £36 from Boots.com

Brown girl…
We girlies love looking sun-kissed but it’s got to be out-of-a-bottle these days and definitely not the result of days exposing oneself to harmful rays or countless trips to the tanning parlour. That said spray-tans can be expensive and who wants to spend an hour standing in front of a beautician with only a pair of paper knickers on anyway? The answer comes in the form of the Babyliss Beach Bronze Salon Tanning System. Once you get the knack of it, it’s actually pretty good and also a darn-site cheaper than going to the salon. £29.99 from Boots.com (on special offer - usual price £59.99).

Quick fix haircare
Now I love a good rock festival as much as the next person but if there’s one thing I absolutely cannot bear about weekend-long music fests it’s the not being able to wash properly, and worst of all not being able to wash one’s hair at all. Cue weapon of choice - dry shampoo - and, in particular, Toni & Guy’s Model.Me dry shampoo. Simply spritz it on paying close attention to the roots and massage in a little. The result is hair that looks almost as good as if freshly washed. Model.Me Erin Quick Fix Dry Shampoo, £5.49 at Boots.com
