London Calling!




If any of you are near Harvey Nichols in London anytime on January 19th, head to the Stila counter with an old lip gloss.

Basically, to celebrate the new Stila counter at Harvey Nichols London, Stila are introducing ‘Stila Steal’ makeup amnesty for one day only.

On 19th January 2012 from 10am, Stila are offering all beauty connoisseurs a chance to trade in their old worn out lip gloss for a complimentary award winning Stila Lip Glaze in Stilas hero Kitten shade, a gorgeous nude, suits all shade.


So get yourself down there! In fact, I'll race you to the counter!

Absolutely flawless!

Getting ready for work in the morning is always a bit harder in the Winter, I find.
Skin is drier, less moisturised, less hydrated or even more tired after the party season.
Putting on foundation in these conditions means that it just doesn't smooth on as well or look as velvety.
However, Rimmel have found a great solution.

It's called Wake me up Foundation and I've got to say, it is a cracker.


It goes on a treat, really easily and with no need to work it in hard. I find using a foundation brush is best, but my friend is using her fingers and has also been raving about it.

Skin looks more refreshed, more 'alive' than it does with some other foundations, so all good.

I think the finish is down to a silky textured and creamy liquid. It looks natural and allows movement in the face rather than feel 'bogged down' and heavy. I also like that there are some vitamins and minerals in the mixture, which feel as though they are doing some good.

Another plus is the fact that it sets quickly, so you don't end up with make-up on every towel and shirts and jumper in the house. Or on your other half's suit when he's on the way to work.

So grab yourself one and try it out. I promise you will love it. It's available in Boots, Superdrug, good chemists and most supermarkets to and is a bargain at only £8.99.

Modern classic for men

I know we have just said good bye to the Christmas tree and saluted the start of 2012, but you know, Valentine's day is just around the corner.





So with that in mind, I've had a little thought about what us girls might like to buy him indoors.
I'll bring you knew ideas until V-Day!

Joop for men is a classic. It's not the most expensive, nor is it in the high-end, but the truth is, it smells wonderful.

It is of course, bright pink, so is greeted with a touch of scepticism. But don't be shy: the fragrance is full of fresh citrus notes like bergamot and orange blossom, but it is countered by some rich vanilla, cinnamon and jasmine vibes too.
Utterly delicious, but be careful, This is a great but strong fragrance and a little goes a long way. Great gift for blokes of all ages!
