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.

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.

Paris Hilton gets lip augmentation?

Lindsay Lohan gets some odd lip augmentation

I'm all for plastic surgery. Whether it's because Mother Nature has started to take her cruel toll, or because various parts of you might have needed the odd enhancement to begin with, as long as you're comfortable with it then go for it. Within reason.

Tattoos: fashionable or faux pas

What once was a sign of rebellion is now more a sign of uniqueness. Tattoos are being worn by a large range of celebrities, everyone from Christy Turlington who has a flower tattoo on her ankle, to Nicole Richie with a reported 9 tattoos.

Avril Lavigne has a star on her wrist, so does Gisele Bundchen - and even seemingly innocent Mandy Moore has a heart on her toes.

Despite risks, the tan is still hot

The debate of tanning has arisen again recently when Beauty Queen, Brittany Leitz, approached the media to warn people about skin cancer after developing a melanoma. Tanning salons are still huge, and so is the tanned look. But there are some moving away from the Tan in favour of more natural looking skin.

Here we can see different celebrities skin tones. Jessica Simpson normally prefers to keep it tanned, so does Posh spice, while the likes of Nicole Kidman, Dita Von Teese and Scarlett Johansson prefer to keep their skin natural and pale.
