A daily hit of the most stupendously brilliant things to land on the beauty desk. This is survival of the fittest

CC creams have been doing the rounds for a while now, so it takes a really stonkingly good one to make ears prick up. One that goes beyond the call of duty and does things to your skint hat you didn't even realise you wanted.

Like this one. It does the usual smoothing, evening out and reduce redness that others do but wait for this: it also contains vitamins C and E to protect against free radicals, Smartcolour Technology to match your skin's pigment and hyaluronic spheres to hydrate skin wherever you apply it. Oh and aloe to soothe damaged skin as well. All in one chic, duck egg blue compact. Nice.
