Beauty buys for the week

by Taryn Davies | 5 March 2012

We all need a little something to perk us up on Monday morning, so here we have the ultimate beauty buys that you should be investing in this week.

We say invest, because we all know that putting money into our skin will only make it look better now and in the future.

Thanks to our unpredictible cold and wet weather, our skin takes a beating during the winter months and central heating doesn't help much either. This is the must-have product to help hydrate your skin and leave it feeling smooth and glowing. Ahava's Hydration Mask can be used for 5 minutes or left on all night (which I recommend), you'll wake up to brightened, soft skin. Made from dead sea minerals, these wonders from nature provide our skin with a concentrated source of essential minerals, necessary for maintaining nornal skin cell functioning. (Available from leading department stores, sales and pharmacies. RRP £24.50)

Thanks to Desperate Scousewives' Jodie Lundstram thick brows have certainly become a trend again. If you're not blessed in the thickness department, or you've just over plucked them then you have to buy this brand new product, Rapid Brow. First they brought us the Rapid Lash and now another wonder serum. It helps to tranform weak, uneven, sparse brows into healthier looking ones. It says to expect results after 60 days, but after using mine for three weeks I can already notice a difference. Use this twice a day and it also acts as a tamer to keep wild brows in place. (Available from Boots, £37)

This balm has to be the ultimate multi-purpose product, and not only that it smells amazing too. Created and formulated for every household, this premium new antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial skin remedy helps address everyday skin troubles for the whole family. It's small enough to keep in your handbag at all times and will meet all of your health and beauty needs as it moisturises, tends ro grazes and bruises, reduces stretch marks, relieves sore muscles and eases sunburn, to name but a few. (Available from ASOS, £29)

If you're looking on enhancing your natural colour, flirt with a new shade, or cover your greys then try the award winning Tint of Nature's new range of conditioning semi-permanent hair colours. They are certifies with 65 per cent os organic ingredients and comes in eight radiant shades. After using this my hair was left with a glorious gloss and it felt nourished right through to the tips. The colour lasts up to 12 washes, I'm on to wash eight and the colour still looks like it does when it was first applied. (Available from selected department stores, organic and health stores, or to buy online from Herb UK at tintsofnature.com, RRP £8.99)

Michelle Williams was wearing this product on the night of the Baftas and her skin was positively glowing. The secret to her flawless skin was Keromask Camouflage Cream. Not only does it last 10x longer than any other make-up, it covers everything from under eye bags to acne, unwanted tattoos and scars. It comes in 24 different shades, so you're going to find one that matches your skin perfectly. You can also buy a Keromask starter kit for jsut £4.99, which is perfect if you're not sure of the right shade and you don't want to commit to a new product. (Available from Keromask.com or coverwithconfidence.co.uk)
