Who doesn’t love Eight Hour Cream? Can't see any hands up, from where we’re sitting in Dorset (Sarah) or Hastings (Jo and Amy). Well, for all of us Eight Hour-lovers – or most probably, at this time of year, an Eight Hour devotee on your Christmas list – here’s something really lipsmackingly lovely: a sleek palette containing a trio of lip colours infused with this protective, nurturing beauty classic of a skin treat.

There’s a deep rose-pink, a pretty-darned-perfect scarlet, and a deeper plum, accompanied by a lip brush and with a good mirror that you’ll want to hijack for all your make-up application. And if you want to slip it in your handbag, not only is everything there for on-the-go touch-ups – but the bright red palette’s easy to find in your bag.

(Which happens to be our tip for phone and wallet colours, too.)
