Add to your travel checklist: with eight eyeshadow shades, Extremely YSL for Eyes ($75, at duty free), will help you make the stylish transition from au natural day makeup to evening smoky eyes – there’s even a mini mascara in there! And the glossy purple case doubles as a handy coin purse.

Same cult formula, now fragrance-free. Apply liberally on lips, eyelids, cheekbones, cuticles… Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream Skin Protectant Fragrance Free, $38. CLICK TO BUY

Make-up and wellbeing come together in Physician’s Formula’s powders, infused with arctic rose (it mimics the effect of endorphins), omega-3 (an anti-depressant) and violet floral notes (mood-enhancing). Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Face Powder & Bronzer ($21.95) and Blush ($29.95). CLICK TO BUY

Magnetic nail polishes – where a magnet is swept across freshly-polished nails to induce a wave pattern – are currently sweeping beauty counters. Three that have landed on our desk: Layla Cosmetics ($19.95, CLICK TO BUY) requires no base or top coat, although we would still recommend a base to avoid staining nails; Ulta3 ($5, 1800 181 040), which gets our vote for its wallet-friendly price; and Nails Inc ($24.95, CLICK TO BUY) which has some very on-trend metallic shades

It might be too cold to dip into the ocean, but one sniff of this energising body fragrance – with notes of citrus, jasmine and algae – and it’s almost the same thing (it’s also packed with glycerine for hydration). Biotherm Eau Oceane 100ml EDT, $49. CLICK TO BUY
