VERDICT The brush is easy to use and the volumiser creates lusher, longer lashes more quickly.
NADINE’S TIPS: TRAVELLING IN STYLE
ON YOUR JOURNEY Try the three ‘D’s of lightweight travel: ditch anything that’s not a skin or beauty essential and leave it at home, then downsize by buying minis, sachets and smaller sizes of your favourite beauty buys, and finally decant your everyday items into smaller bottles.
AUTUMN TREND ALERT Hot off the catwalk this season are Indian earth shades for skin; think terracotta, rich roses and spice shades.
So look out for blushers to warm your skin and use with nude, neutral lip colours like the iconic Juicy Tubes, and a va va voom mascara for false eyelash effect.
