The BD team get their gold on with an array of products boasting the luxe hue.
If you’re after a super moisturising self-tanner that leaves you with naturally bronzed limbs – look no further than St. Tropez Self Tan Luxe Dry Oil. I applied the formula with my St. Tropez Applicator Mitt (like I would with any self-tanner) and I was left with even, streak-free colour. The dry oil makes it feel less like a self-tanner and more like a moisturiser – but you’re left with great colour. It contains a subtle golden shimmer, making you feel like a bronzed goddess. - Caitlin
ghd advanced split end therapy
For those gals who love the lighter shades of blonde and the beach as much as me, they’re going to have to, like me, suffer the offset of developing bad split ends. And rather than having to undergo weekly cuts, I’ve begun using ghd’s advanced split end therapy to address the issue. Containing a blend of nutrient-rich ingredients that nourish and fortify damaged ends, this product helps defend the hair against daily styling and environmental stress. Activated by the heat of your styler, simply apply before blow-drying and the product will work its magic to bind broken hair fibres together and give hair a protective coating to prevent future breakage.

Moisturising, non-sticky and super glossy, Elizabeth Arden’s Limited Edition Sunset Bronze Prismatic Lip Gloss is the latest edition to my on-the-go cosmetic case. Packed with aloe vera and vitamins A, C and E to soothe and protect lips, it is perfect to wear alone or layer over lipstick. But what I love most is the ultra-fine light-reflecting pearls that create a multidimensional effect to give your lips that little extra drama. Mwah! - Sophia
As I have dry skin, I tend to use a lighter coverage on my face so my make-up doesn’t look caked on. That’s why I am always on the lookout for new BB creams that will make my skin glow and look flawless, but still natural. I trialled the Physicians Formula Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil BB Cream which glided onto my skin and concealed all my imperfections. Its lightweight formula evened out my skin tone and delivered an excellent hit of moisture without leaving my skin feeling greasy. I will definitely add this to my daily make-up routine. - Laura
It turns out that gold is not just a pretty face – the metal has a bounty of skincare benefits when utilised in a beauty regimen. La Prairie is the latest brand to jump aboard the gold bandwagon with the release of The La Prairie Cellular Radiance Perfecting Fluide Pure Gold. This treatment emulsion tackles a novel of skin complaints, helping to transform wan complexions through an exotic Golden Lotus Blend made from Asian flowers. - Sarah
Clarins
Develop a fantastic product and then add luxe gold packaging and I’m sold. In a mascara, I generally don’t like the ‘volumizing’ formulas as I find they’re super clumpy. This Clarins wand of wonder lengthens and thickens each lash without even a hint of a black clump. Plus the gold case looks beyond uber chic on my make-up stand. If you can’t tell, I’m a big fan. - Kelly
Talk about multitasking! This anti-ageing facial moisturiser is formulated to repair and enhance the skin with a myriad of benefits – it works to target irregular pigmentation, redness, inflammation, sun damage, and wrinkles, as well as sagging, ageing skin. Formulated with a mixture of marine plant extracts and refreshing essential oils, this beautiful product leaves my skin feeling super soft to the touch. I’m pleased as punch to have found a natural moisturiser that is so results-driven. - Skye
