There’s news that Burberry is launching a make up range next year….Lauren Luke of YouTube make over fame has launched her own line in America…and, September brings the launch of an amazing organic skin-care range from Greek brand, Korres.

Yes, I’ll admit that if Sisley sneezed I’d probably try and buy it! Unlike other beauty companies, Sisley doesn’t just churn out product after product, and in fact, produces fragrances rarely, so to bring out three at once is quite a surprise. But, instead of trying to push one scent to everyone, having three at…

I picked out Aveda Caribbean Therapy Body Creme when I was asked if I wanted to try some Aveda products. To be honest, the reason I picked it out was that the name conjoured images of coconut/mango/pineapple laden fragrance which I generally absolutely love. So, initially I was disappointed in the scent. But, I’ve grown…

Thanks Mizz Worthy for being my first guest blogger, and for opening up the world of make up swapping! ‘How many times have you bought a makeup/beauty product and just found it didn’t work for you? Or used something a few times, and then moved on to a new favourite?The solution is something that the…

The lovely Jet Set girls flagged up this edgy brand on their blog (thejetsetgirls.blogspot.com) whose design led nail colours are truly things of beauty. Created by beauty entrepreneur, Jane Schub, each set is limited edition and each ultra saturated colour is inspired by talent in the design world. A set of 8 shades costs $79…

What was supposed to be a pleasurable half hour browsing the Harvey Nichols beauty department ended up turning into 50 second sprint – to get away from the sales assistants! Fabulous Irish blog, beaut.ie, have recently posted about poor service from beauty counters (Mac: look out!) but the onslaught of sales pitching I received today…

I confess, I can’t help wanting a suntan, much as I know that it’s about the worst thing I can do for my skin. I don’t bake, but really feel so much better if I have a gentle bronze going on. I took Institut Esthederm to Las Vegas a few weeks ago, having tried it…

Since I am totally addicted to Fitflops (though wish they’d make them with a kitten heel…come on boffins, it has to be possible!) I’m obviously going to be entering the competiton to win a weekend trip plus 500 pounds! All you have to do is guess the city from the map that’s been embossed on…

For the first time ever, Chanel are launching an online campaign for iconic fragrance, Chanel No5, starring the beautiful Audrey Tautou, starting on May 5th. It’s rumoured to be a love story about a couple who keep missing each other on the Orient Express (how big can it be?) and is shot by director Jean-Pierre…

The very mascara that I’ve raved about – Max Factor False Lash Effect – has just pulled a prestigious gong at the CEW(UK) Awards held at the Intercontinental in London. A Lalique statue is heading in the direction of the mascara hailed by industry insiders as The Best New Make-up Product.

I really like this new brand; Mitchell & Peach, whose lavender fields in Kent yield a variety that has strong peachy notes, hence the name. Made in the UK, the four products are lush, beautifully packaged and include soap, shower wash, relaxing bath oil, and a nourishing pot of body cream. Although it’s a tiny…
