MERIT The Uniform is a new addition to the MERIT line-up, and if your FYP is anything like mine, you've seen it doing the rounds. After trialling this one for over a month, I'm pleased to report it lives up to the hype. The ultra-lightweight tinted sunscreen is formulated with mineral SPF 45 that redefines daily sun protection – it was two years in the making, after all. It's the ultimate no-makeup-makeup base – sheer, yet buildable, not matte and not shiny. There are 15 shade options too (I wear shade 28), so you're bound to find one that suits you.

CHANEL Serum-in-Mist is my new (super luxurious) desk essential. The latest release for the brand, N°1 DE CHANEL Serum-in-Mist is formulated with red camellia – an ingredient studied by the CHANEL laboratories for 19 years. The extract is rich in protocatechuic acid, helps to boost skin vitality mechanisms, and protects skin from oxidative stress. The mist is ultra-fine and lightweight which I love and delivers a burst of hydration that soothes and refreshes my skin instantly. Its serum-like formulation penetrates deeply without feeling heavy or sticky, leaving my complexion radiant and smooth. It's the ultimate pick-me-up throughout the day.

mudie cow passive to passionate eau de toilette is a mood-shifting fragrance that promises to take your game up a notch – and it succeeds. This slightly smoky and woody scent opens with saffron and cinnamon, is balanced perfectly with some of my favourite floral notes in the heart (think ylang-ylang and jasmine), before settling down to a base of Tahitian vanilla and tobacco leaf. It's one of those scents that has you sniffing your wrist for a hit all day long.
