“But I already have so many lipsticks!”, pish posh. One can never have too much makeup and you know it, especially not at such dirt-cheap prices. The longwearing liquid Melted Lipstick from Too Faced doesn’t lie – rocking a 10/10 colour payoff, what you see on the tube is exactly what you’ll get on your lips. Go on and coat your smoochers in their crazy range of shades, from nudes to pretty pastels and dark goth hues.

If you don’t fancy the iPhone 7 and would rather camp for 8, have the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 as a stand-in instead. Don’t look down on this China-born brand – its phones are hella sleek and the Redmi Note 4, in particular, has a 13-megapixel primary camera rivalling Samsung Galaxy 7’s 12-megapixel one.
Yes, selfie queens, there’s beauty mode included – who needs Mei Tu Xiu Xiu? In fact, this phone might just grow on you and make itself your mate for life…’til the next Redmi comes out, at least.
