Net-a-Porter’s The Ultimate Beauty Kit is 32 products strong – 16 full-sized and 16 travel-sized – for a steal at $1,800 “There’s Vernon François’ Dazzling Spritz Shine Spray, which is amazing and will give your hair body. But there’s also a This Works Sleep Plus Pillow Spray, so when you’ve partied too hard, you can still get some sleep. We have the Burberry lipstick in Military Red, because we need to have shades which are quite universal. We have the Hourglass Ambient Light Correcting Primer, their new primer, a colour-correcting one.” Slip’s embroidered silk pillowcase is simply a pure silk pillowcase “Because cotton dries your hair and skin out, and when you sleep on your face, it creates lines. I’m the sleep advocator for everyone. I will train everyone to sleep on a silk pillowcase because it will save your life. Technically the healthiest side to sleep on is your left, but I say sleep on your back.” Charlotte Tilbury’s Giant Magic Cream moisturises, boosts collagen and protects against sun damage “It’s 150ml. And one of our personal shoppers, he loves it and said he was going to buy it and slather it all over his body.”
