Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, € 33.99, COLOR WOW, at Sephora.pt.

Promises: to waterproof hair and stop frizz, even in the worst humidity. Vogue's word: I confess that ever since I saw the video of Chris Appleton, Kim Kardashian's hairdresser, using this product, I've been obsessed. I have very curly hair, so getting it straight - especially at a time of year so prone to humidity - was practically impossible. Dream Coat Supernatural has changed that: as well as giving my hair an enviable shine, this product has managed to make it completely sleek, resisting humidity like never before. A real must-have.

C+C Vitamin Cream, €109, NATURA BISSÉ

Promises: to offer the benefits of vitamin C for instantly brighter and more energized skin. Vogue's word: Natura Bissé's C+C Vitamin range has been one of this year's most positive surprises. And its star product, the C+C Vitamin Cream, deserves an honorable mention. Wrapped in a silky texture and scented with a citrus fragrance, this cream provides a luxurious experience from the first application. However, the results go beyond expectations. Its formula - enriched with three types of vitamin C and other ingredients that stop skin aging, such as collagen - provides hydration, firmness and radiance, resulting in rejuvenated skin.

Eau de Parfum Libre L'Absolu Platine 90 ml, € 170, YVES SAINT LAURENT.

Promises: to be mesmerizing and sensual. Vogue's word: it's not easy to win over someone who has been wearing the same perfume for thirteen years. No matter how intoxicating and exquisite they may be, other scents are never a match for the one that once took your senses by storm. Until, unexpectedly - just as happened when we fell in love with our all-time favorite eau de parfum - a new scent comes along that takes us aback. This iteration of Libre, one of Yves Saint Laurent's classics, is a masterpiece of modern perfumery. The "masculine/feminine" tension, so characteristic of the brand, is felt on first application, which immediately spreads a curious feeling of freedom: it's not just strength and sensuality, it's almost a mixture of joy and fireworks that lingers in the air.

Advanced Night Repair Serum 50 ml, € 104.99, ESTÉE LAUDER, at Sephora.pt.

Promises: to reduce the appearance of multiple signs of aging, giving the skin a more youthful, smooth, radiant and even appearance. Vogue's word: in a year in which my hours of sleep have been substantially reduced, Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair has turned out to be my elixir of youth of preference. Known for combining seven serums in just one, it effectively stimulates the skin's natural repair, increases natural cell renewal and promotes collagen production. On those days when snooze seems like the only salvation, Advanced Night Repair gives us the boost of radiance we so desperately need.
