Chanel 19 Poudré EDP
A lighter more delicate take on the classic Nº19, this new release from Chanel was conceived by head perfumer Jacques Polge who wanted to focus particularly on the iris. Although fresh and powdery, The Poudré is a fragrance for all seasons. £86 for 100ml. The old classic: Infusion D’Iris by Prada

Kiehl's Ultra Light Moisturiser
This little bottle of magic promises to fast track it's way to the classics' list. Easily absorbed (one minute, we timed it) and non-greasy, it's suitable for teens right through to octogenarians. £24. The old classic: Dramatically Different Moisturiser by Clinique

Dior Blue Denim Varnish
Although not vampy like Chanel's rouge noir, Dior's latest edition, really is the perfect autumn colour: a jean perfect shade with just a hint of indigo. It's a limited edition along with the Tuxedo colour but we suspect the popularity of this product will give it staying power. £17. The old classic: Rouge Noir by Chanel

Chantecaille Tea Rose Lipstick
Consistently a best seller (often sold out at Liberty’s), this small and chic looking lipstick is expensive but it ticks a lot of boxes. Not only is the dusty pink shade perfect for all skin tones, it has added collagen to give lips a plumping boost. You’ll not find a better product that combines a lipgloss and lipstick finish either. £27. The old classic: Pure Color Lipstick by Estée Lauder

Margaret Dabbs Nourishing Nail & Cuticle Serum
This wonderful serum was first launched as Emu Oil, and although the name has changed to something more marketable, the main ingredient has remained the same. As a native Australian, Margaret Dabbs had heard of the benefits of emu oil many years before launching her own products and salons. Emu oil is a completely natural by-product, and has been used by aboriginals for centuries for its healing qualities. It is non-pore clogging, antibacterial, an anti-inflammatory and a superb emollient. Results are outstanding and everyone should have one of these to apply to fingers and toes! £10. The old classic: Solar Oil

Hourglass Calligraphy Liquid liner
This is a liquid with a difference. Exclusively sold at Liberty’s London it won’t drag or budge thanks to its quick dry formula. What makes it stand out from the rest? It really does stay in place and is as easy to use as a writing pen plus it’s infused antioxidant-rich rosemary, perilla, chamomile, and aloe extracts to soothe and moisturize the eyes. £23 from Liberty. The old classic: Lancôme Art Liner

Sue Devitt Eye Intensifier Pencil
The perfect pencil for smokey eyes and it comes in 13 colours! This wouldn’t be a future classic without a secret ingredient though: Nylon-12 expands and contracts with facial movements without creasing or cracking, guaranteeing durability and long-lasting coverage. No party girl should be without one! £23.50. The old classic: Bad Gal by Benefit
