Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
I’ve been really slow to test the Good Works range from Kathy Phillips, former beauty editor of Vogue. I’m a big fan already of her premium aromatherapy range, This Works, so wasn’t in a great rush to ‘downsize’. Now I’ve actually made the effort to test some of the Good Works [...]
Feeling Blue: Brilliant Bourjois
Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
Bourjois has reformulated SoLaque nail polish to make it super-super shiny; their new range of colours, out in March, will match any premium brand, and I am totally feeling it for this navy blue shade that nods at the not-quite-over goth look but embraces the new bolds. Remember how Chanel’s Blue [...]

Submitted by Beauty Brains Blog
Starhopper says…Could you guys help me figure out what’s up with my old contact solution? When I first got soft contacts a couple years ago, my eye doctor recommended I use Clear Care contact solution. It’s based on hydrogen peroxide, so it’s supposed to kill all the little germies that get [...]

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
It’s impossible to get a decent visual for this range, making its debut at Saks 5th Avenue New York in June, despite emailing the press office to ask for some. With make up artist Pat McGrath in charge of making it fabulous, I’ve every faith that it will be exactly that. [...]
Manicure Match
Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
I think I love the ‘fashion nails’ manicures at Hari’s Salon (Knightsbridge) by manicurist Zoe Irwin. She’s taken inspiration from amazing designers and bags and conceived a ‘matching’ manicure - the best one being Loving Luella after the modern iconic Seymour Bag (pictured above). Pink neon tips complement the strips in [...]

Pantene Is Bad For Hair: Myth Busted!
Submitted by Beauty Brains Blog
Right Brain retorts:
On several occasions we’ve blogged about how many people believe Pantene is bad for your hair. It looks like the marketers at P&G (the makers of Pantene) are paying attention to blogs like the Beauty Brains because their Public Relations agency has just sent out this press release on [...]
