The best and worst in fashion this week: MAC, Victoria Beckham and Covetique

What we love, we're buying and we're not sure about

We love… Gold touch

Designer Prabal Gurung has teamed up with make-up maestros MAC to create a rather swanky new collection. The shiny gold packaging brings out The Audit’s inner magpie, and what lies inside is pretty special, too.
From £17.50, maccosmetics.co.uk

We’re not sure about… Face tech

Forget lotions and potions – there’s a new weapon in the war against wrinkles. The Slendertone Face device tones face muscles using electronic pulses. As scary as that sounds, it’s still a walk in the park compared to a surgeon’s scalpel.
From January £149, slendertone.com

We’re buying… Season’s greetings

Trust Harvey Nicks to solve the problem of unwanted gifts with a tongue-in-cheek range of Christmas cards that can include specific instructions for your nearest and dearest. Subtle as a brick, but effective.
£6 for a pack of six, harveynichols.com

We can’t wait for… Posh paws

The Beckhams have their fingers in many pies, and they’ll be perfectly polished thanks to the latest endeavour. The Victoria Beckham collection for Nails Inc launches online today, including shades inspired by the Japanese feel of her spring/summer collection, such as Judo Red and Bamboo White.
£25, nailsinc.com

We’re saving up for… Retail rewind

Cursors at the ready! Pre-owned luxury online retailer Covetique is hosting an exclusive sale of a privately held Chanel archive. The very special 60-piece collection includes bags, dresses and jackets dating back to the Eighties, with prices starting at £400.
Sale starts 10am, 12 December, covetique.com
