Scarlett Johannson At Selfridges Today
Pic of Scarlett in Selfridges today to promo Dolce & Gabbana make up, looking slightly more landgirl than Hollywood icon.

Uchenna: You Made Me Smile
One of the perks of the job is the occasional treat – time constraints mean that I rarely have the complimentary treatments on offer and other than a little bit of Botox every now and again, I’m actually pretty low maintenance in the beauty department. But I couldn’t resist having a Zoom tooth whitening treatment…

Last Words On Embargoes (For Now)
Explaining to a friend about embargoes…the final moments of the conversation sums it all up so nicely. “So, what you are saying is that beauty brands who want you to massively publicise their product for free, in the most glowing terms possible, tell you how, when and where you are allowed to do that.” “Yep.”…

How Timely: New Bath & Body Care Line Gets It Spot On
While the new beauty range Me! Bath (not as in ‘me dinner’, I hope) comes in a mind boggling 40 flavours, I’m loving that they have a line called Summer Rain. It just couldn’t be more appropriate for the showery time we’re having here in the UK now. It’s apparantly a scent fusion of tropical…

Love Lippy? You’ll Adore Rouge Dior Serum de Rouge
Smooth lips are a beauty must have, but boy, it’s a struggle to keep your pout in perfect condition. No wonder lip balms are in every girl’s essential beauty kit. Apart from the old toothbrush trick (gently scrubbing dry skin on lips with an old toothbrush for a completely free exfoliation), there aren’t many things…

Thierry Mugler New Fragrance for 2010.
Angel fragrance was launched in 1992 and has now become one of the most iconic scents of all time. In fact, in France, Angel outsells Chanel. Fans of Angel are diehards, even requesting the pantone for the blue packaging in order to decorate in the style of Angel! There’s a huge fan club, called The…

Accessorize Fragrance
Today I went to the launch of the first Accessorize fragrance, fully expecting it to be dire. And, if I’m brutally honest, I only went because I like the PR who was hosting it. However, a surprise lay in store. The fragrance (called Accesorize – I could weep for the missed naming opportunity there) is…

Embargoes: You May Not Repeat This Until 2012.
Unfortunately for some, the internet has made fools of embargoes – once an image or some news goes out into the ether, it’s kind of fair game, surely? I’ve been asked yet again today to respect an embargo that is only in place because a national newspaper wants to feature it first. There’s a particular…

Let’s Hear it For The Groom: Clarins Get Brows Beautiful
For those who love their power brows, I’m impressed with the Clarins Eyebrow Pro Palette coming out in September. Three shades of powder, brow wax and a highlighter, along with the mini-est tweezers you ever saw mean you’ll never have dishevelled brows again. £28.

Just add shimmery purple or darkest beetleback green nails and you have a look. They’re not available till mid-August so you truly are first with the news….Liberty are setting up a wait-list…

Look Who’s Fronting Anna Sui Autumn 09
Anna Sui cosmetics has a huge Japanese following, and although it was briefly in the UK a few years ago, sadly they pulled the plug. But, look who is the poster girl for the forthcoming A/W range: Agyness Deyn! Seen here are Moisture Rich Foundation Primer in the cutest ever bottle and butterfly oversprayed limited…

Jin Soon Choi: Nails For MAC
Jin Soon Choi isn’t a name that is familiar here in the UK, but believe me, Stateside, she is THE nail guru. After a historic 7 page spread in the New York Times Magazine, she’s the nail world’s most wanted. Known for her exquisite nail art, she’s worked on some major ad campaigns, including Prada,…

SilkSkin Pillowcase
I’ve been using the SilkSkin pillow case for a couple of weeks now: the claims for this as an anti-ageing tool are that natural silk contains the same proteins and amino acids as skin, making it the ideal surface on which to place your face at night. Also, the pillowcase can stop your skin drying…

First Look: Prescriptives Palettes
Loving these gorgeous seasonal palettes (see what I did there, not mentioning the Xm*s word) in both warm and cool. We’ve a while to wait til they go on counter, but love to know what treats are in store……
