new_scents

The Perfume Shop have taken out their little crystal balls and predicted just what will be hot for the coming year! Look forward to new releases from Chloe, Gucci and Calvin Klein… [More...]

Calvin Klein Beauty

Calvin Klein has come a long way from the eponymous CKOne scent (which always reminds me of being 15 and summer holidays in Spain). Their latest addition combines Jasmine and Cedar Wood for a light and refreshing scent. This will be available from the 25th August.

Twilight Makeup Range

Those Twilight kids are at it again, with everyone wishing they had that eerie pale skin and blood red lips. The new installment of Twilight makeup is named ‘Eclipse’ (yes, surprise, surprise) and features a suitable array of vampirish like beauty products.

Hot product sin the range includes a gorgeous glitter eye pencil which will imbue your eyes with delicate flecks of glitter, some creepy looking varnishes which range from red to black to shimmering moonlight and my favourites, a selection of duo baked eyeshadows.

The eyshadows are very complementary colours, and though they may err of the side of drama, are still very wearable. They can be applied dry or wet (for a deeper look) and will give you eyes that will have R-Patz come running (hopefully). The range should be out pretty soon- to tie into the film!

The landscape you see is actually imbued with tiny little LEDs that light up when you open it, and as usual the pull out drawer will [...]

Johnson’s 24 Hour Bodycare with Shea and Cocoa Butter!

Mmm, Cocoa butter! There’s something about the feel and scent of this on my skin that I adore, and I’m thrilled to find out that Johnson’s have made the move into Coca and Shea butter. Combining the beloved formula with these delicious ingredients is a great idea, as you can now enjoy all the delights of Cocoa Butter with the moisture lotion that everyone loves. Their new range features three brand new products to enjoy.

Firstly we have the first EVER exfoliating bodywash from Johnson’s which contains mini exfoliating beads to gently slough away dead skin and leave it looking soft and radiant. I’ve been using this for a week and my skin is left looking fresh and clean after use- with a faint scent as well, which is unusual in an exfoliant.

Save money on blades with the Razor Pit

Well that could be about to end with news of an ingenious new product that promises to seriously extend the life of your razor blades. The RazorPit is a Danish invention which sharpens your razor blades, thus making their lifespan considerably longer.

Miami Travel Essentials : The Top Five Products to Pack

There are many places to travel to in the world- the beautiful shores of Thailand, the slopes of Switzerland and the glacial beauty of Iceland. Each destination requires different beauty products however, as the differing climates and humidity can make your skin play up if you’re not careful. In the first of our destination travel guide editions I suggest the product you might need for a trip to Miami.

I’m not going to address what you should pack in your carry-on, as that’s a separate post, but rather look at the beauty products that you should have in your suitcase, as they may make all the difference between being a beach goddess and beach burn-out.

A Good Sunscreen

Miami is known for having major rays, and whilst that will feel great, you don’t want to burn accidentally. use a minimum of SPF30, and if you do a lot of watersports consider a waterproof version- and apply regularly. I love the Lancaster Sun products, as they’re great for fair skin, and don’t clog the pores.

Product Review: Tigi S Factor Diamond Dreams Conditioner

There are many conditioners in the world, but few that come infused with diamonds, champagne and pearls- a truly decadent treat for the hair. I was a little wary at first that this would be a novelty product with the ingredients added purely for their name, rather than their properties. However this exceeded my expectations as it left my hair feeling silky soft, nourishing it from root to tip and smelling rather divine as well.

It’s infused with Shea Butter to add extra moisture and they sat that the Crushed Pearls in the mixture help create a shimmer effect on the hair. It had a really nice thick texture to it and felt pleasurable when I was running it through the hair, as it felt instantly softer, even when wet. It was easy to rinse out as well, and as it’s sulphate free so it conditions without stripping colour.

Product Review: Clinique Superbalanced Makeup

I’ve been on the hunt for a lightweight foundation for a while as the changing weather has meant that my skin needs something less heavy than usual. I tend to be fan of thick matte coverage so was initially a bit dubious about the Superbalanced liquid foundation as I felt the texture would be a little too light to cover my blemishes.

I was pleasantly surprised n application though, as it easily blended into the skin and felt velvety smooth to touch. It’s non acnegenic and oil free which was a relief for my congested skin and it really evened out my skintone.

The colour was extremely long lasting and gave me a radiant natural looking glow, that was sheer enough for spring but still gave me enough coverage to walk around confidently.

The formula is water resistant and coped well with

We’re all told that it’s important to get your five a day of vegetables and fruits, but how about your five a day of beauty? The new lip glosses from E.L.F provide you with a daily wardrobe of delicious lip treats that will suit every personality and style.

New Studio Minty Gloss

Combining mint with gloss is not a new idea, but one that I’d like more brands to sign up to. It’s always a treat to reapply your lip gloss and get a lovely whiff of mint, and that’s just what this product does. There are six colours on offer, each named after a US state, and I’m torn between New York and Los Angeles (like, who isn’t?).
