Being backstage at the shows at New York Fashion Week has meant being privy to lots of hot-off-the-press new products, all being trialled by fashion's top hair stylists and make-up artists. I’ll be first in line for the following:

Redken's Aerate 08 Mousse.

It’s hair mousse, but not as we know it. This one comes in tub and one generous scoop will give your hair body and bulk with no crunchy residue. Hair stylist Peter Gray snuck me a jar from his kit and I have to say the results from first use were incredible.

Out December – write it in your diary.

Nars's Orgasm Illuminator.

If you love the classic, pinky-coral blush, you’ll want to get your hands on this sheer liquid version. Dabbed along cheekbones, it lifted models’ complexions beautifully.

Out early 2010.

Treatment Oil by Moroccan Hair Oil.

I spotted this backstage at Carolina Herrera and J Mendel. It smells divine and gives hair lustrous shine and a healthy base for styling.

Out early 2010.

Elbows at the ready!
