The other day, tail-end of a successful week, having literally shaken the last from all even the travel bottle of eye make-up remover that was in her sponge bag, Jo thought she’d splash out treat herself to a replenishment of her favourite dual-phase remover. Off she duly toddled to a Chanel counter on Oxford Street, only to be told: it’s being reformulated.

Drama! Disappointment! What to do? Well, grab the nearest alternative is the answer. Which happened to be from Garnier Naturals. And you know what? It may not have Chanel’s luxury ‘wow’ factor, but it’s a great discovery for budget-conscious eye make-up wearers, magically removing traces of shadow, liner, mascara (even Benefit’s quite hard-to-budge BADGirl Bang!)

And with change from a fiver, we call that a little bit of high street magic.
