I love them and could spend all day talking about my favourites.

It’s the way they make you feel, the thrill of treating yourself to something that only you can enjoy, and the pleasure you get from hiding away from the rest of the world to indulge in a relaxing face mask or something just as lovely.

So when I found myself in full beauty flow with the delightful Dannii Minogue at a Children In Need event last year, I was, as you can imagine, in my element.

And after hearing how much she loves the brand By Terry, and how highly she rates their Light-Expert Foundation Brush, £38, I had to have one.

I headed to my nearest Space NK the very next day, and haven’t looked back since. I was that impressed.

With this in mind, when she recently sang the praises of ModelCo, I knew I’d be wise to follow her lead and have stocked up on Lip Lights in Indian Summer, £15 (www.hqhair.com).

Not only is this gloss fantastic, but it has little LED lights concealed in the lid, plus a mirror on the side so you can touch up in the dark and not make a pouty mess – it’s beauty perfection if you ask me!

I went on to discover ModelCo’s Glow Summer Bronze, £18, which is a fabulous sheer bronzer.

It contains the perfect amount of gold flecks for a healthy, sun-kissed look that you can flaunt all year round.

Dannii certainly knows her make-up and has led me to some great products. Some might say she has the ‘beauty X Factor’!
