Charlotte Tilbury Cryo-Recovery Face Mask, £49
After using ice as a backstage quick fix for years, make-up queen Charlotte Tilbury created this easy-to-use cryotherapy mask that works to depuff, lift skin and boost glow at home. Embedded with cooling gel bead pockets along the forehead, cheeks and chin – and metal beads along the brows to target acupressure points – it makes light work of inflammation and puffiness to have you party ready in no time.
SL's Beauty Editor Rebecca Hull says: "Reusable, this clever mask combines icy, cooling benefits with facial acupressure to stimulate circulation, and in turn, refresh dull skin. I love the cooling metal beads inside which target certain areas of your face - think the cheekbones, jawline and above your brows. They gently press into your face, relieving tension and muscle pain."

Sarah Chapman Skinesis Meso-Melt Infusion System, £138
Designed to mimic the effects of one of iconic facialist Sarah Chapman’s most popular facials at home, this clever microneedling device creates tiny channels in the skin to kickstart collagen production. Once you’ve rolled for five minutes, apply the contents of one of the ampoules to your skin, then roll again and watch the hyaluronic acid-loaded needles dissolve into your skin. A double whammy of hydration and reviving peptides, this is one of the best tools out there for a serious glow.

KNC Beauty All Natural Collagen Infused Lip Mask, £33
What’s a festive beauty look without a perfect pout? You may have spotted KNC Beauty's lip mask all over Instagram. Blended with moisturising rose flower oil, cherry extract and vitamin E, you'll feel the plumping effects of its deeply conditioning and collagen-infused formula via the subtle tingle. Applying one just two or three times a week will leave your lips feeling smooth, full and perfectly primed for lipstick or gloss. A great pick-me-up just before a party, you get ten in a pack.
SL's Beauty Editor Rebecca Hull says: "A great stocking filler, these provide instant, softening gratification, thanks to ingredients like vitamin E and rose flower oil. They're great fun, too and smooth lips ready for any colour application."

Omorovicza Cooling Derma-Globes, £100
Beauty tools are the next best thing to your facialist’s expert hands. Keep these cooling globes in your freezer and deploy every time your skin needs perking up. Roll in upwards movements to tone and boost circulation, or roll downwards to reduce puffiness. Our top tip? Massage under the cheekbones and from the inner eye outwards to refresh skin before applying make-up.
SL's Beauty Editor Rebecca Hull says: "Considered the 'OG' of ice globes, these are expensive, but worth it if you're looking to bring the cryo facial experience into your home. I love to use it from the centre of my face outwards, gliding them towards my hairline and near the temples, too. They quickly contour and firm with a cooling sensation that's so satisfying."

Christian Louboutin Beauty Les Yeux Noirs Lash Amplifying Lacquer, £55
Christian Louboutin’s mascara is a cult product in the making. Aside from the chic art-deco packaging, it boasts an outstanding brush that grips and lifts even the smallest of lashes, and layers on highly concentrated pigments for a wide-eyed, dramatic look that stays put without flaking. For maximum impact, apply a second coat before the first application dries.
SL's Beauty Editor Rebecca Hull says: "Not for the faint-hearted, this jet-black mascara is a must-try if you want density, volume and an expensive, inky-looking finish. Just a few sweeps provide impressive results with a non-clumpy finish. A mascara everyone can benefit from."

Not enough time to drop by the salon pre-party? Creamy and nourishing, this quick-acting mask promise to give dry and damaged hair some instant TLC. Prickly pear oil softens strands and banishes unwanted frizz, while biomimetic ceramides help improve the appearance of split ends – just in case you’ve left it a bit late. For best results, use it after washing hair and leave it to work for five minutes before rinsing. With regular use, hair will look shinier and feel stronger – plus, inula flower extracts work to revive and protect pigments in natural or coloured hair.
