WE update our wardrobes at the turn of the season, but often our makeup bags get neglected.

Did you know the cosmetic lifespan of mascara is just six months, eyebrow pencils 18 months and perfume 36 months. Yet most of us double these figures.

Well, if there’s a good time to revamp your makeup bag it’s now, thanks to Harvey Nichols.

The department store is currently offering a free gift with purchase worth over £130 to customers who spend £110 on fragrance, skincare, beauty or cosmetics. A selection of prestigious brands come in a limited edition Harvey Nichols cosmetics bag designed by everyone’s favourite blogging bunny – Fifi Lapin

Beauty products include Eve Lom Cleanser, Shu Uemura’s High Performance 3 in 1 Cleansing Oil, Lancome’s Visionnaire serum, Clarins’ Firming Neck Cream and ESPA 24-hour Replenishing Moisturiser. Makeup goodies include Laura Mercier Radiance Foundation Primer, Bare Minerals Eye Shadow and the YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Luxurious Mascara.

The free gift bag is available while stocks last.
