Product of the day!


Sleek Fish High Gloss Serum is my current favourite hair product. It is great for dry or damaged hair and makes your hair really shiny and yes, sleek.
I really love it and it is perfect if you blow dry your hair a fair bit, because you really need the extra gloss and protection from the heat.
Fish is a well-established and well-loved London salon and their products are fabulous - but I find them especially good for hair that needs a bit of extra loving.
Get yourself a bottle now!

Product of the day!

Product of the day is…Soap & Glory Sexy MotherPucker!

It is a must-have for every beauty queen!




So, the first thing I love about Soap & Glory Sexy MotherPucker, £8, is the humour - the name is brilliant, the packaging cheeky and retro. It's a bit of a laugh, which is what beauty should be. So, thumbs up there.


But the best thing is that it really does pump your lips up! You tingle for a bit and then you end up with a pout which would have made Brigitte Bardot in her hey-day envious!

The glosses contain superfill microsphere which help make your lips fuller and they really do. Also, it has a lovely little touch of glitter running through it so it's not over-the-top, but subtle and sophisticated.

It's great on its own, but also lovely under, or on top of your usual lipstick or gloss.

Get out quick and buy it! Your lips will never be the same again!


Available from Boots.

Get lippy!



There's been a fair bit of fuss about Rimmel London's Vinyl Max lip gloss, £5.49. Not all of it good either.


The wand is too big, the colours too similar, too drying, too sticky - these are just some of the criticisms levelled at it.


Naturally, I wasn't going to let a little beauty controversy put me off, so I gave it a go.


It is massive, is the first thing I noticed. At least twice the size of most other lip glosses. That's not a bad thing, just an observation.


The wand itself is also a lot bigger than your average. But rather than that being a hindrance, I found it very useful and I am sure for unseasoned gloss-wearers it is a blessing as it makes the product very easy to apply.


The gloss smells delicious and fruity, not synthetic and horrid. It smears on very evenly and is extremely shiny and brilliant, in the truest sense of the word. So all good on that front. I also like the tingle-effect it had on my lips. It was cooling and I felt like my lips looked plumper - but that could have been an optical illusion because of the shine on my lips enhancing the natural shape.


The colour I've been using is Breathless but I would say that of the six colours, Addictive is probably the prettiest.

All up it's a very good lip colour. After all, what do you want from a gloss? Shine, colour, sheen, slight jamminess. Well, it's all of those things, so I don't think it deserves the bad wrap!
