5 buzz-worthy beauty and fashion items to kick off the new year

January Style Opener

Micro management

Proving good things come in small packages, the micro bag is one of the hottest handbag trends of 2015. It’s a great alternative to a clutch and has just enough room for the essentials: your credit card, keys and lip gloss du jour. It may be tiny, but it sure is mighty.

Lip slick

YSL’s new Volupté Tint-in-Oil is the perfect combination of lip care and colour. The innovative product combines vibrant pigment and five nurturing oils to create one long-lasting gloss that moisturizes, plumps and delivers rich, shiny colour too.

New heights

This unique collection (shampoo, conditioner, mask and booster) has been formulated to add volume to thin hair. A patented ingredient (filloxane, which works like a filler) penetrates the hair fibre and expands it to add thickness and body. Results are instant, and with regular use hair becomes thicker and stronger.

Fibralogy Shampoo, $6, L’Oréal Paris.

Custom kicks

Thanks to fashion designers and trendsetters, the white tennis shoe has become as iconic as a Manolo Blahnik pump. Sneakers have been spotted on countless runways (with designer price tags to match) over the years, but the original Adidas Stan Smith has reached cult status. Sport the classic or check out the company’s website to customize your own with metallic trims and fun neon detailing.

Wonder wand

At last, a perfect-for-day mascara that lengthens, defines and adds just the right amount of volume (but isn’t spiky or clumpy). The flexible wand makes coating lashes a breeze, while the brush fans lashes for a soft sophisticated finish.

Lash Sensational Mascara, $10, Maybelline.
