Just when you think that the Spring/Summer nautical trend has reached its peak this season, MAC gets in on the action by launching a brand new range inspired by deep-blue oceans and sparkling luxury cruise liners. The Naughty Nauticals collection is designed to create the illusion of a summer spent cruising the Med, with inspiring colours ranging from the brightest bell-bottom...

The olfactory overload when entering a perfume store could send a consumer out the door screaming, well this consumer at least. Last week I decided to take the plunge and spend some time picking out a new scent for the season. The sun was shining, the flowers were bright and vibrant but everywhere I turned, one perfume after another, was the stench of the notorious...

At first glance she could be any girl, Viktor & Rolf, the extravagant pair who brought us Flowerbomb perfume and trenchcoats with “NO” sewn in 3-D have designed 3 pairs of fake eyelashes including a beautiful pair of ‘paperclip’ inspired ones that emphasize the length of your eyes.

No, a girl can never have too many beauty products and there has never been a time like the present when us ladies have been as spoilt for choice as we are today. The latest brand to light up our universe is Satellite3 - an enviromentally friendly cosmetics line inspired by astronomy and the exploration of space.
