Harrods is just a little economic micro-climate where the rich keep shopping with no signs of abeyance and no nod to the national credit crunch. Guerlain’s newest fragance, Fontaine Imperiale, launches exclusively there on 15th April, priced at a cool £5,215. Gulp.

Due out shortly, L’Occitane’s new cream, Ma Creme Nature, does away completely with preservatives by having you get busy in the kitchen. By mixing different compounds together at home and then storing in the fridge, you know that it’s as fresh as it can possibly be. The radiance boosting cream contains olive water, shea butter…

I’ve just spotted this gorgeous palette exclusive to airports. Its the Bronze Goddess palette and comes with two long last lipsticks, two shimmery shadows and a bronzer. Chuck an eyeliner, Bronze Goddess and mascara into my make up bag, and that’s me done for holiday make up. Out in April.

I’ve just had the skinny on the next fragrance coming up from Jo Malone; Vanilla & Anise, set to launch in September. Nice, no?

I’m so out of touch with the Aveda brand, so I’m going to trial a couple of products to post about, since its their 30th Anniversary this year. But, I’d love a britishbeautyblogger reader (UK based) to trial some too. I’ve got Aveda Chakra 1 Balancing Body Mist – an infusion of essential oils based…

The Sephora home page has a definite natural and organic feel – not surprising really, when you discover that natural and organics are one of the fastest growing beauty areas. They’re cashing in. A new brand, Nuts Cream Perfume, caught my eye; the ‘solid’ perfume is encased in a wooden ‘nut’ – from sustainable sources…
