Paul & Joe Face & Eye Colour in Smitten Kitten £25, asos.com
Surely the prettiest pressed powder around, this blusher will suit all (not just cat lovers). The warm shades can be used separately to contour and highlight, although if that’s too fiddly simply blend together with a blusher brush to give cheeks a flattering flush.
Baylis & Harding Royale Bouquet Lilac & English Lavender Luxury Hand Wash £5, House of Fraser
Add some pretty petals to the bathroom with this gently cleansing hand wash with a light floral fragrance and packaged in an eye-catching dispenser. The sizable bottle is excellent value, too – it’ll last for ages.
Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps Eau Florale EDT £40, John Lewis and Harrods
If this arty bottle and vibrant box designed by London-based designer Camilla Frances aren’t enough to tempt you, the scent certainly will. It’s equally fresh and feminine, blending peony and honeysuckle with warm musks, and will suit all.
By Terry Baume de Rose Face Cream £55, Space NK stores and spacenk.com
An indulgent treat for the skin, this moisturiser harnesses the nourishing, restorative power of the rose to produce a silky cream that feels heavenly on the skin. It’ll hydrate, repair and protect all skin types, and it smells incredible, too.
Jo Malone London Mother’s Day Floral Box £130, Selfridges and the Regent Street boutique
There’s no need to decide between buying her flowers or perfume with this beautiful box. Packed full of freshly cut flowers from top florist Philippa Craddock and your chosen Jo Malone perfume, presented in stylish cream and black packaging, it will certainly impress.
Origins Flower Fusion Sheet Mask £5 each, origins.co.uk
Sheet masks are no new things, but these ones are pretty special. Made from 100 per cent natural bamboo, they’re eco-friendly, smell lovely and feel wonderfully soft. Choose from six hydrating variants, from tension-soothing jasmine to refreshing raspberry.
M&S Florentyna Body Lotion £4, Marks & Spencer
This luxurious lotion is light both in texture (it will sink quickly into skin) and in fragrance – the scent blend of gardenia, jasmine, lily of the valley and orange blossom is feminine and fresh like an English garden without overpowering.
EcoTools Modern Romance Five Piece Brush Set £13.59, ecotools.com
Perfect for travelling or make-up bags, these brushes – a foundation, angled cheek, lip and two for eyeshadow – are all you need for expert make-up application.
Not only do they look lovely, they’re also made from recycled materials like bamboo, aluminium and synthetic bristles.
