Ecostore eco friendly bodycare & cleaning products
I've not yet had the chance to visit New Zealand, but I'm fast becoming convinced that plenty of good things come out of that little country. Beached whales for one. My latest find, though, is an unassuming, unimposing little bunch of products by a NZ brand called Ecostore.
Principessa beauty range for skin and hair

Mediterranean Breeze by Elizabeth Arden
Sweet sparkling fruits and delicate florals combine with sensual woods and addictive musks to create a scent reminiscent of a warm breeze on a summer day. An inviting, and in fact truthful, description for Elizabeth Arden's latest fragrance, Mediterranean Breeze.

Chloe Sevigny bright red lipstick trend
Bright red lips, an ongoing beauty trend, can be anything from sexy to sultry to classic. Just look at the elegance of Charlotte Casiraghi or the vampishness of Eva Green. Chloe Sevigny wore the trend to the premiere of Generation Kill yesterday.
Beauty review: Schick Quattro Razor
For all the money I spend on skincare and moisturisers and the like, I must confess that when it comes to shaving I'm a bit of a cheap-arse (particularly in Winter - much to the disdain of the men in my life). So when I received a Schick Quattro for review, my expectation was for another over-priced piece of plastic and metal that wouldn't do my skin any great favours.
I was pleasantly surprised.
Agyness Deyn for Jean Paul Gaultier's Madame
Looks like her jeans aren't the only thing that Agyness Deyn is taking her scissors to. In this TV spot for Jean Paul Gaultier's Madame perfume Agyness takes to not only cutting up her wig but also ripping up her clothes too.
As for the inspiration behind the fragrance Jean Paul says: "It's my type of woman — at the same time fragile and strong, like a tomboy that is a little androgynous in attitude so, you know, she can cut her hair if she wants". Well if that doesn't suit Agy to a tee we don't know what will.
PS: I love Agyness with a fringe.
Lindsay Lohan: your skin is blinding me
When I first glanced across some of the recent paparazzi photos of Lindsay Lohan it crossed my mind that she'd finally stopped wearing black leggings. The actress come singer come Marylin Monroe breast-a-like had finally moved on, found something else, expanded her horizons. And what did I think she'd found? White leggings. Out with the black, in with the white.
Perfect grooming: bringing girly glamour back
Look at these pictures of Christina Aguilera. The picture on the left could be anyone, on her way to get the paper and interrupted by an annoying phone call. Now check out the one on the right. Wow!
For me, these pics drive home a major lesson: don't get lazy with your outfits! The magic is in the little things: that flash of colour; that unexpected touch; that little bit of perfection, like a gorgeously manicured hand. You might not notice it at all until you're about to part ways and someone offers you their hand to shake, complete with chic black nails. It's a footnote that says: 'you know I'm hot!'
