Officially toxic!

Officially toxic!

Posted by John Gustafson at 16:34 on 19 Oct 2007 beauty, organic, Channel 4, how toxic are you, toxic, chemicals, parabens

By now you will have all heard about last week’s programme on the toxic ingredients and effects of some of your normal everyday cosmetic and skincare products. To be honest? I feared the worst. I though the next day would be filled with a barrage of phonecalls asking for all products

Girls aloud, purple power and C-list heaven

Girls aloud, purple power and C-list heaven

Posted by Jessica Hopper at 17:16 on 18 Oct 2007 girls aloud, Sketch, purple, samsung, mobile phone

I had a fantastic night last night – despite the fact that I’m paying for it today, to the point that I vomited on the train this morning during my commute (I’m so glamorous).

When an invite to help celebrate the launch of the new Samsung F210 Purple landed on my desk, I couldn’t

My hand job

My hand job

Posted by John Gustafson at 14:31 on 17 Oct 2007 scars, surgery, hands, hand cream

As a makeup artist, my hands are one of my most valuable tools. So it was with something akin to horror that about a year ago a funny little growth appeared on the back on one of them. Sort of looked like a wart right in the fleshy padding between my thumb and forefinger on the most visible part of my right hand. The most obvious place

Is Kate losing her crown?

Is Kate losing her crown?

Posted by Tracey Sayer at 10:59 on 12 Oct 2007  

When Kate Moss cherry picked Irina Lazereanu to launch her Topshop collection, I bet she wasn’t expecting that within a few months the quirky Irina, ten years her junior would be engaged to Pete Doherty. Nobody wants to be swopped for a younger model and Kate literally had-been. The young upstart had not only nicked her man but she is also a muso, which

Buff up

Buff up

Posted by Jessica Hopper at 17:27 on 10 Oct 2007  

Part and parcel of writing about beauty means we get to enjoy the odd desk visit from PRs to tell us about any new products and even sometimes supply samples. Well, last week I had a particularly nice desk visit from the lovely peeps at Sally Hansen, who not only bought a nail-friendly goodie bag for me to enjoy, but also treated to me an at-desk mini manicure by manicurist

Time travelling in Notting Hill

Time travelling in Notting Hill

Posted by Danielle Radojcin at 15:17 on 09 Oct 2007 Sienna Miller, Portobello Road

Driving through Notting Hill last night, I was surprised, on turning into All Saint’s Road, to have apparently been transported back to the sixties. All Saint’s Road, normally home to The Pelican pub and a Jamaican food restaurant, now houses such swinging sixties throwbacks as Granny Takes a Trip, The Chelsea

Tom Ford For Men

Tom Ford Black Orchid is now a staple in my perfume wardrobe (which incidentally is a very slim-line wardrobe – Narcisco Rodriguez for day, Tom Ford for night).

So my husband is about to be a little disturbed to discover that from now on I’m going to be insisting we wear his n’ hers  scents when

A PR for Sonia Rykiel has just emailed me a picture of the actress Evan Rachel Wood. The accompanying text reads, “Actress Evan Rachel Wood wore a black silk and mohair dress from the Sonia by Sonia Rykiel A/W collection to a screening of ‘Across The Universe’ in Los Angeles, CA.

Celebrity fragrance wars

Don’t ever think that the big names behind the new wave of celebrity scents don’t care about their products. Judging by this reported exchange between Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs and Mariah Carey, celebrity fragrance rivalry is getting a little heated.

A very close shave

A very close shave

Posted by John Gustafson at 12:01 on 25 Sep 2007  

Yesterday morning was not a good one. From the moment the alarm clock went off I had the feeling that pulling the covers over my head and chasing after sleep might be the only way I could get through the day. I should have listened to that little voice in my head – as is so often the case. But as is also often the case, I decided to ignore the voice and
