Pamper yourself with diamonds
Marilyn Monroe once claimed: “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” Nowadays, diamonds are not only worn, but also used in beauty regimes. There are numerous facial creams and other items that possess this precious ingredient, and these items all come with a luxurious price tag. 
The St. Tropez Diamond Tan uses real diamonds in a spray formula that covers the body in a delicate mist of diamond dust, leaving skin dazzling and luminous. This limited edition Diamond Tan is available exclusively at Selfridges, London throughout December at St. Tropez’s flagship Skin Finishing Studio. 
The Refining Facial by Crème De La Mer features pure diamond powder and polished sea quartz that exfoliate, gently bidding farewell to dry surface cells. Available at John Lewis for £58.50, massage your face once a week for smooth, bright skin. 
For the ultra-luxe nail polish, try this Black Diamond Nail Polish created by specialist jewellery maker Azature. Containing 267 carats of black diamonds and holding the title of the most expensive nail varnish ever, it is priced at a whopping £160,000. A more affordable and similar glittery version is available for £17. However, it contains just one diamond!
