Deck of Scarlet Threeway Solid Lip Oil in Natural Nectar, £25, deckofscarlet.com. This three-in-one lip colour combines the sheen of a gloss, the colour of a lipstick and the care of a balm. A glamorous and handy little space-saver for holiday packing. Available in a range of shades.
Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara, £29, hourglasscosmetics.co.uk. Yes, we know this is pricey as mascaras go, but in our defence we have found this to be properly waterproof even when combining swimming pools and general summer sweat (sorry, ‘skin dew’). It’s a bestseller for a reason.

RMS Beauty Eyelights Cream Eyeshadow, £25, spacenk.com. This eyeshadow offers long wear and no creasing. It also adds a shimmering metallic finish to eyes with just one swipe and instantly dresses up a look, but can be layered to add more drama. Comes in an aluminium tube and with a key so you can twist out even the very last drop.
