Lancôme Énergie de Vie The Overnight Recovery Sleeping Mask

Oh, Andy, how could you do it to us...? On a Sunday night, when we were looking forward to some beauty sleep...? Like many of you, we finally drifted off to sleep around 2 a.m. on Monday morning after Andy Murray's marathon against Juan Martin del Potro. We've managed to stay away from much of the Olympics mayhem, till now – but with Team GB right up there on the wins chart, we've been caught up in medal madness (and are loving every nail-biting minute).

Trouble is, it's all on so late! But it's given us the chance to put this through its paces. Lancôme Energie de Vie The Overnight Recovery Sleeping Mask will, we promise, ensure you wake up looking radiant despite having five hours of sleep. (Or less. Men's 10,000 metre final, anyone...?)

Instantly and seriously hydrating, it plumps up skin while you (finally) slumber – light rather than rich, instantly melting into skin. By morning, we're pretty sure your complexion will have bounced right back again.

For overnight use, apply a thin layer – or for a super-quick fix, be more generous and leave it on for 10 minutes.

As quick fixes go, it deserves to be right up there on the winners' podium. (And we may be getting through quite a bit of it before this is over.)
