Marc Jacobs Daisy Limited Edition
Fashion designer Marc Jacobs marked 10 years of his iconic fragrance Daisy with a limited edition white bottle. While the scent remains the same - a classic blend of berries, white violets, jasmine and sandalwood - the new packaging is gorgeous and seriously chic.

YSL Black Opium Pure Illusion
We're already obsessed with the famous black glitter Black Opium bottle, so we were delighted to discover there's a new addition to the family - Pure Illusion, a limited edition bottle destined to be a collector's item with black glittery stripes interspersed with a crystalline rose. And fear not, Black Opium lovers - the iconic fragrance inside remains unchanged.

We love a good dry shampoo - it's the ultimate time-saver and regularly affords us an extra hour in bed. And our friends at Aussie have created six deliciously scented dry new versions to counteract those dreaded greasy roots and limp strands on-the-go. Plus, it's a lightweight formula that won't leave you with any white resiude.
