Michael Kors Very Hollywood Signature Scented Ink Pen
I’ve taken exception to the execution of this so-called ‘ink’ pen, with ink scented with the notes of Very Hollywood. For a start, when I was at school, an ‘ink’ pen was a pen with a nib that required ink cartridges or a bottle of ink. Not a ball point pen. Any thoughts of writing... Read More
Leighton Denny Gelato Collection Spring 2011: So Bad and So Good
I picked out a couple of shades to try from the upcoming Leighton Denny Nail range and chose Ice To Meet You in what looked like a pearly cream colour and Lolly Pop, a vibrant pink with a drop of coral. First off, it is a very, very long time since I’ve used any Leighton... Read More

The shades are all very wearable – there... Read More
Givenchy Summer 2011: Acid Summer
I went along to the Givenchy launch today for their summer collection – somewhat bizarre to be looking at such hot and vibrant colours while tiny flakes of snow were falling from the sky, but it was a welcome burst of neon on a bitterly cold day. Nicolas Degennes, the Artistic Director of Givenchy Le... Read More
