Now that reviews of Perricone’s wonder scent, Neuropeptide Synergy are starting to emerge, some beauty reviewers are thinking it might actually be working. Dab the anti-ageing aromatic on your top lip to get the maximum anti-anxiety and mental clarity benefits. Or possibly don’t bother….because each dab will cost you around about five pounds, and for…

Every year I get a Debrett’s/Estee Lauder Pink Ribbon Diary – and love it. Perfectly proportioned, it’s actually a rather good read too, since the back section contains a wealth of information such as international clothing conversions, where to buy a nice cake and where to go if you want to see beautiful sculptures. It’s…

Stylish denim house, Rock & Republic, have launched their new cosmetic range stateside….apparantly, it’s coming to Harrods in the not too distant future. Critics have said it’s all style and no substance; i.e. the make up formulations aren’t that great for the price – which range from between $18 and $225 (eek)- but I’m not…

Due to a lack of decent pictures, I’ve been unable to post about these amazing eye colours from Ruby & Millie…My own home efforts at stylish photography were so absurd…So, firstly I need to say THANK YOU to the Daily Mail from where this image came. Right, on to the colours. Using a radically different…

As I use Saaf Cleansing Balm every day of my life to whisk away any last specks of make up and keep my skin soft and clean, it’s a pleasure to know that they’ve just got BUAV (British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection) approval. Along with a raft of other pleasing accreditations, such as…

Which well known beauty company is bringing out an anti-ageing night cream next year that contains ingredients to help you sleep? Don’t stay awake worrying because when I can tell you, I will!

As a complete Fitflop Addict (it can only be a matter of time before there are support groups and a 12 step programme) I’m excited that the first images of the winter versions are finally around. Not due to hit shelves till November, there are already stockist waitlists (Victoria Health, notably)….The Gogh, at 65 pounds…

Is it wrong to be crazily excited about nail varnish? Actually, don’t answer – I think I know it is! But, have to confess to a small flurry about these new limited edition nail colours from YSL coming in stores at the end of October. Paint Moonlight White over the entire nail, and tip with…

Friends at Cultbeauty have bagged this brilliant brand in an on-line exclusive – Boadicea The Victorious (or BTV for those in the know) is a niche new Brit brand with an eclectic twist on traditional fragrances. Blended in the Cotswolds, with the intricate pewter bottles made in Sheffield, this is everything good about UK creativity….Spritz…

News from New York: Exclusively at Neiman Marcus is Glowelle – a beauty supplement in powder form to add to your drink. What’s interesting about this band wagon supplement (because if you ain’t sucking, licking or sipping your skin vitamins these days, you’re truly out of touch) is that it’s from Nestle. And apparantly hideously…

It’s surely only a matter of time before we see fairytale make up brand Rouge Bunny Rouge making its way onto beauty counters…Already a hit in Russia, all Rouge Bunny Rouge colours are inspired by a magical tale that’s part Victorian fantasy and part elaborate contemporary story-telling. Having got my hands on some samples, the…

For those who don’t know the name Maurice Roucel, he’s the ‘nose’ who created the infamous fragrance for Frederic Malle, Musc Ravageur. Noted for being the fragrance to wear if you want your date to end in sex (how handy for lean times), Roucel’s newest collaboration with Malle is Dans Tes Bras (In Your Arms),…
