Call them Mivvi lips – the idea is that you look as if you’ve enjoyed a really good lolly. These cheeky gloss lips were all over the SS18 catwalks, from Dolce & Gabbana’s cherry-juice shades to high-shine fuchsia at Chanel, and perky raspberry pink at Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini. If you don’t have the weather for an authentically lollipop-stained lip, dab a slick of balm over your pinkest lip stain.

Bathing beauties
Jo Malone London’s Queen of Pop Collection is curated by Poppy Delevingne and includes the most delightful bubble bath. Soak in Velvet Rose & Oud, then slather yourself in Tuberose Angelica Body Crème.
Natural selection
Deciem’s first product from new skincare range Abnomaly is here. Petrowhat? is a lip and skin ointment with ‘very complicated plant stuff’. It replaces petrolatum with an army of cruelty-free, vegan, plant-based ingredients and natural flavours.
Fancy pants
Thinx, the period-proof underwear, is coming to the UK – it launches in Selfridges next week. It is a proper alternative to tampons and pads, with a variety of designs using a special four-layer technology holding up to two tampons’ worth. Bloody good idea, we say.
