March Beauty Bulletin

One month we're lovingly grooming our lashes with a vibrating mascara wand, the next everyone's talking about (but probably not wearing) YSL's black lip gloss. It's hard to keep track of what's new in the fast moving world of beauty.

Stay in the know about one-minute wonders to avoid and what's going to become a permanent fixture in your make-up bag, with our monthly Beauty Bulletin featuring a selection of the latest beauty launches rated by our always discerning Beauty Editor.

Balenciaga Paris Eau de Parfum, £42
They say: Exclusive to Harvey Nichols, this is a classic and chic fragrance with an inventive mix of violet notes and pure architectural woods.

We say: This is the kind of scent you’d expect from a couture fashion house, being immediately evident yet absolutely wearable and suitable for any time, any day and any occasion.

Perfect for: Treating yourself to a fresh new fragrance for Spring.

Chanel Empreinte de Chanel, £43

They say: A graduation of rosewood, beige and flattering browns – embossed with the famous logo – give a silky sheen for the face and eyes.

We say: Applied with a large brush to the cheeks or face, or to the eyes for a sexy shimmer on lids, this pearly highlighting powder brings warmth and enlivens a tired complexion.

Perfect for: Glamming up your handbag – this is a take-everywhere compact you’ll want to show off!

Givenchy Printed Lips Lip Pen, £16.50

They say: A new quick and practical way to give lips a little colour, this neat pen applies a soft impression of colour that looks fresh for hours.

We say: When lipstick is too much and you’re not a fan of gloss, you’ll adore this pen that delivers just the right amount of colour for a delicate look.

Perfect for: Completing your new spring look.

Rodial Glamoxy Snake Serum, £125

They say: Taking its inspiration from the potent venom produced by the Temple Viper, this serum has a neuro-peptide (syn-ake) that works to freeze the muscles, lift the face and plump lines and wrinkles.

We say: You’ll find this innovative serum more than delivers when you need to look more youthful and rested. It’s oxygenated to encourage the skin-plumping and has pomegranate anti-oxidants to protect against stresses.

Perfect for: Boundary-pushing beauty junkies.

Essie Art of Spring Nail Colour Collection, £8.89 each

They say: With the latest must-have shades of lilac and pink plus a vibrant coral and striking pinky red, the spring collection from Essie brings nails up to date.

We say: Essie's Spring collection varnishes - with colours to suit all skin tones - go on smoothly, so you’ll get great results in a jiffy, and with a little care you’ll go chip-free for ages.

Perfect for: Giving nails a budget-friendly trend update.
