First Look: Clinique Spring 2010
New collections are previewing thick and fast at the moment: just got the news on the very pretty Clinique collection for Spring 2010, called Juiced Up Colour. I really like the look of this collection; it’s got a level of detail that makes it interesting, and the colours are gorgeously feminine. Spot the new mascara,…

Caudalie Premier Cru La Creme: Reader Review
This is the cream that I’m hearing the most about at the moment, and it’s getting rave reviews everywhere. At £89, its not cheap, but with a formula based on grape polyphenols, it seems to be giving phenomenal results. Reader Lynne has tested this for three weeks. “I am a great fan of grapes preferably…

Pretty from Puresha
Shea Butter Chunky Soap Bar in Fig Gardenia Soy Candle Green Tea Fizzing Bath PowderI like organic skincare in theory well enough, but very few ranges cut the mustard when it comes to performance. I’m happier sticking to bath and body products because all they have to do is smell nice and not dry out…

Jean Paul Gaultier: Classics Revitalized
I’ve mentioned before that French fragrance press releases are beyond comprehension, even when they’ve been translated into English. I had another example today, describing the new Jean Paul Gaultier ad campaign starting in November that was so baffling I had to throw my hands up in defeat! Between us, the PR and I decided that…

That Old Chestnut: Lipstick That Makes Your Teeth Whiter
Poppy King’s recent release of Butterfly Ball Lipsticks is catching everyone’s attention – her lipsticks are always lush and lovely. This time around, I’m disappointed – it’s such an old, old trick to add hints of blue to the formula that give teeth the illusion of looking whiter..Benefit did it way back, so did Sally…

Chanel Gift Set
Just spotted this cute little gift set on the Bergdorf Goodman website..and it’s only $50…this one’s a gift that looks way more pricy than it actually is. I’m hoping we’ll get something similar in the UK (I will check) but more thinking maybe its time to visit New York.

She’s Back: Jo Malone
Since selling the Jo Malone brand to Estee Lauder, Ms Malone has been mighty quiet. Now she’s turning her hand to a 4 show series where she acts as guru and mentor to entrepreneurs by using her skills in marketing and branding to help the wanna-be’s succeed in turning ideas into a cash making reality.…

Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes Collector Set
Very, very desperate to get my hands on this lush set of 25 Aqua Eyes liners. Aqua Liners are famous for their long-last formula and waterproofness (is that a word, I wonder?). Liners are my thing, but this set is a Sephora exclusive in the US only. Torture, I know.

Sneaky Peek: Illamasqua Christmas Sets
Half the bloggers in Blighty will be hoping Santa remembers to stuff a couple of these in their stockings. They both cost £42 – with a value of £54. The gold themed box is called Golden Goddess, and the silver is Silver Seductress. Golden Goddess Contents: Liquid Metal in Solstice, Pure Pigment in Furore, False…

Here We Go Again…
Regular readers of this blog will remember that way back in the day, I wrote this anonymously. Quickly (ish) realising that I’d never get any decent information that way, I had to have a rethink. In the intervening period however, I was outed twice – once by a social media specialist agency who decided to…

What’s In A Name? EVERYTHING!
I have just come across this fragrance from the creator of mineral make up line, Bare Escentuals whose name is Leslie Blodgett. Now, I know you can’t do much about the name you’re landed with, but I’m not so sure I’d have it plastered across a perfume bottle unless it was something quite sophisticated or…
