We’re now approaching the close of 2010 and as such, you’re likely considering a few New Year’s Resolutions to benefit your body and/or mind in ‘11. However, many women ignore the fact that their makeup collection and beauty regime could do with a harsh sorting.

Cosmetic and beauty products, brushes and applicators which have seen better days can collect germs and therefore you should be replacing them every six months. The start of a new year is the perfect time for a beauty spring clean, especially if you stumble across a low down of brands that are going to be huge in the coming year…oh, and you have!

The Eve Lom skin care range has grown substantially since Vogue crowned a product of theirs as “probably the best cleanser in the world” a while ago. The collection comprises highly effective, multi tasking skin potions that give you beautiful, youthful skin.

My favourite product in the range has to be the TLC Radiance Cream (50ml) which contains the detoxifying properties of arctic raspberry and Vitamin A rich rosehip to hydrate and lift skin like no other product on the market.

Products are priced between £12.50 and £80 (for comprehensive gift sets) and are a great investment for any ladies sick of empty “better skin” promises from other well known brands.

If your skin is particularly sensitive or has special needs, the botanical skin care of Aesop may be more relevant and are priced similarly to Eve Lom’s range not to mention they smell absolutely stunning!

OPI already sell 30,000,000 bottles of their highly acclaimed nail polishes around the globe every year but now they are set to take the UK beauty scene by storm. Many people including celebrities, salon professionals and magazine editors has heralded the varnish brand and their products for their long lasting and hard wearing formulas.

OPI’s secret varnish recipe ensure that nails are chip free and have a sleek finish.

Products are priced between around £5 and £18. My favourite so far has to be Finishing Touches ‘Cherry’ which is a beautiful hue of deep pink-red.
