Salute your ladylike side with these feminine finds

Sometimes it's nice to be a strong, confident woman and avoid wearing any pink.

But a girl can change her mind and with the era of the "ladette" long departed, we're free to be girly when the mood takes us. So why not make friends with your split personality with these ladylike beauty finds?

Although fat is not a nice word, it's said with tongue firmly in cheek when it comes to Bliss Fat Girl Sleep (32, Boots), a rich cream which contains a special "slenderiZZZe" complex to fight cellulite overnight when your skin is busy working to restore itself.

Make your pout stand out with Oyster Girl tinted Lipglass (12), Girl's Delight Dazzleglass (14.50), and Shy Girl lipstick (12.50, all MAC, Harvey Nichols). And if you're working from dawn to dance floor, pick up a Bloom Sheer Colour Cream in Coy (10, Superdrug), a great shade for eyes, lips and cheeks.

Be mysterious with a sweep of dark plum Shadowy Lady eyeshadow (11, MAC). And flutter those lashes with a little help from the Girls Aloud lash range (5, Superdrug). Or go to town with the Sex and the City lashes (6.45, Boots).

Boots 17 Fast Finish Nail Polish (2.99 each) is for girls on the go, so grab a bottle and give your nails some colour.

Feeling ambitious? Work that confidence with a hit of Soap & Glory Glow Getter (10, Boots), a rub-resistant face and body sun powder spray. It's fun, easy to apply and looks natural.

Go inter-galactic with a dip in a Space Girl bath ballistic (from 1.85, Lush), with grapefruit oil to refresh and popping candy for fizz. Or scrub up nicely with Soap & Glory Clean, Girls Body Wash (5.50, Boots), a skin-softening treat with notes of bergamot, blackcurrant, magnolia, freesia, vanilla and musk.

Keep your locks lovely, with minimum effort, with Batiste Diva Dry Shampoo (2.30), which has an oriental fragrance of fruits and floral notes. And add some shine and hold with Schwarzkopf Got2b Sparkling shine hairspray (2.95, Boots).

Put an end to blunt blades with the man-repelling bright pink Wilkinson Sword Quattro Wave Razor for Women (5.10), with soothing conditioning strips to give a perfect, smooth result.

Stay smelling like a lady with Nivea Female Dry Confidence Anti-Perspirant (2.95), with 24-hour protection, and no alcohol for gentle care. Or throw caution to the wind and be a Bare Naked Lady with the gentle rosy-scented dusting powder of the same name (7.50, Lush).

If you're feeling lovable, Ghost Sweetheart (from 21.99) is a summery scent that captures the spirit of a young, romantic woman. Or put Ted in your bag for on-the-go aroma - Ted Baker that is, Woman (3.95 Boots).

Whatever your mood, be the best version of yourself every day - that's the mark of a real lady!
