Clinique All About Eyes De-Puffing Eye Massage and Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
 

I seem to remember that the concept of a cooling metal roller ball for de-puffing products was pioneered by Creme de La Mer, but other than feeling pleasant to the touch, I don’t think these really make any actual difference to the skin - it’s just too fleeting a moment for [...]

Do Sunless Tanners Damage

Submitted by Beauty Brains Blog
Sonia says…Lately I’ve been using Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanning, and I like how it looks, but I was wondering, this sounds just too good to be true, don’t these self tanners damage the skin in the long term?

Jane Fonda Under The Knife

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

Jane Fonda Back In The Day

Jane Fonda Now
The 72 actress fronts a campaign for a L’Oreal Anti Ageing Cream, and yet has just admitted to going under the knife - again. But, she’s one of the few who are happy to admit to it. Frankly, I don’t blame her for ‘tweaking’…ageing [...]

Blogs: The Heart of The Matter

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger
 

I was just about to do a round of speed reviews when I thought I’d rather talk about what’s on my mind. A few days ago I had an email from the fabulous Blog Herald, who talks so sensibly about all things bloggy, from technical information through to the general blogging [...]

Illamasqua First Look: Illumine Dry Body Oil

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

Oh yummy! This dry body oil from Illamasqua is part of the summer Body Electric range out in April. In the bottle, it looks irridescent; flashes of violet and pink-blue incorporated into a white milk. Consistency is very fluid, smell is perfect for my tropical tastes - it’s a kind of [...]

Beauty Science Reporting Gone Bad: Warrior Blondes
