It’s organic, all natural, it’s eco-friendly, it’s exclusive, but it’s affordable. In short it manages to combine many of the current beauty buzz words – it’s easy editorial. Add to that the mystique already surrounding the brand, which sells...

  • D&G bring back Marilyn, no wait it’s Scarlett
    The latest D&G campaign pays homage to the siren Marilyn Monroe and Scarlett Johansson’s resemblance to the most glamorous of movie stars is amazing. Scarlett has been brought on board for the latest cosmetics venture for the dynamic duo. The campaign which was shot by Solve Sundsbo captures the blend of sex and beauty that underpins D&G and in fact Marilyn...

  • Beauty: Nail-Back Painting
    As every woman knows, an outfit can be made or indeed broken by the tiniest detail, and a sure-fire way to ruin even the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous of ensembles is a shoddy manicure. A true fashionista would never be seen proudly parading her new Alexander McQueen Novak with uneven, unkempt and grubby nails - *shudder*. My manicurist LuLu must cringe when I book my...

  • Beauty Inspiration: Chloe A/W 08
    Summer already seems to be drifting into the recesses of distant memory. Which would all be “oh so depressing” if it weren’t for all those lovely Chloe AW08. A blurred vision of stained berry lips and scruffily pleated hair, the girls strode out like the lovechildren of the Bloomsbury group and some 70s folk musicians; all nonchalant and romantically hazy as...

  • Garnier Eye Roll-on: The New Beauty Pick-Me-Up
    What with all of the air-brushed, picture perfect models gazing at you from the pages of every fashion glossy, looking good isn’t an option these days, it’s simply a necessity. We know deep down that these models don’t really have such perfect skin, but we still strive to recreate that flawless look. I don’t know about you, but with all the stresses and strains...

  • Trends: The Heidi Braid
    A perennial style classic, beloved of eternal girl-child icons the world over (think Kirsten Dunst, Mary-Kate and, well, Lolita) the ”Heidi braid” has me utterly enchanted this summer. A playful reminder of childhood days and ribbons, of girls who don’t take life or fashion too seriously, girlish and whimsical without being overtly feminine it is the...

  • Try Something Different: Smudged Style
    Although the perennial make-up look for summer is, of course, ‘fresh-faced’ beauty I’d like to venture a painterly alternative. Wild, I know, but as anyone who has actually ventured out of said ‘fresh-faced’ beauty will know from bitter experience, this is an elusive look that seems to mysteriously occur solely in the forbidden realm of supermodels...
