And since you’re out shopping anyway... Mandy Temple admits to some Christmas purchases that might not make it out of her handbag.
Pucker Up I like to take care of my lips so I am always on the lookout for the latest lip balms. I am a big fan of Body Shop balms as they not only smell divine, they always leave my lips feeling soft and supple. That’s why for Christmas I would like the limited edition Fruit & Nut Trio, featuring Coconut, Mango and Shea. Fruit & Nut Trio, £10, The Body Shop (01227 767837)
Luscious Locks A good dry shampoo or conditioner is a must have for any girl-on-the-go. Christmas is the ultimate time to let your hair down and socialise, but it’s not always easy to be perfectly groomed. So if you fi nd yourself short of time before a Christmas party try Fudge Dry Conditioner! It’s lightweight, smells gorgeous and it really does refresh your hair. Dry Conditioner, £8.95, by Fudge available from 01282 683100 or
