BB Creams have made their way over from Asia in the past year and have created quite a stir in the beauty industry. Clinque are the latest brand to create their own, the New Age Defense BB Cream SPF30. The multi-tasking BB Cream helps prevents the permature signs of ageing with UVA/UVB and environmental protection while immediately concealing imperfections. Fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced using a unique complex of optics, and skin is soothed and hydrated for a more youthful look. It also helps to balance the skin and provides oil and shine control to extend the life of foundation all day long. (Available exclusively at Harrods now and Clinique.co.uk, then to be nationwide at selected Clinque counters from March 2. RRP £25)

The brand has grown from strength-to-strength in recent months, and has just won the 2011 Newcomer of the Year award at QVC. The lipsticks come with a light and a mirror, so you're never to be caught short with a smudged pout and the if you're not the best at the perfect smoky eye then the i-smoulder pen is the perfect product for you. The double end has a pencil on one side and an eyeshadow applicator on the other. Line the eyes with the pencil and then fill in the eye with the shadow - you're left with a look that even Kim Kardashian would envy. (Available from newcidcosmetics.com and QVCUK.com)
