Compagnie De Provence Extra Pur Collection

The 'Compagne De Provence Extar Pur' natural collection captures & reworks the fragrances as well as the colours of what is described as France's most legendary region. With the sleek design, modern, bold & colourful typography these make a fashionable chic statement to any bathroom and with irresistible fragrances including wild rose, grapefruit, orange & cherry blossom, verbana as well as olive & lavender they add a new twist to natural bath & body care.
Their brightly packaged liquid & bar soaps also pay homage to Provence's most famous export which is the iconic 'Savon De Marseille' cubes, these were blended in cauldrons according to techniques that were passed down over 400 years. The 'Extra Pur' bars are made from natural glycerin with pure olive & palm oil, the body lotions & hand creams are formulated using a blend of sweet almond oil, shea butter & vitamin e. The hand lotion unlike many others absorbs instantly giving a fresh feeling as well as moisturising the skin leaving it feeling soft & smooth, as with the body lotion too which again leaves your skin feeling fresh as well as soft & silky. The soap cleans & freshens the skin while preventing any dryness as many soap bars can do, all these products have a very striking fresh & natural scent, definitely reminiscent of the French countryside!!!
The range also includes Shower Gel, Foam Bath as well as relaxing & soothing Candles, retailing under £13. Available from John Lewis, The Conran Shop, Cologne & Cotton and Harrods. Check out the site on www.lcdpmarseille.com

Mineral Mania - Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics

Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics are taking the cosmetic market by storm at the moment, as we all know that minerals are the most natural way to a flawless complexion. The Lily Lolo range contain natural mineral ingredients so are free from any harsh chemicals, dyes, fillers & nano-particles, some of the ingredients that are included in the make-up actually have healing & anti-bacterial as well as sun-screen properties so the make-up is actually good for your skin - the best news we've had for a while!!!!!
The make-up also has a high light reflecting action so fine lines are minimised (more good news!!) & as the minerals are soft & silky on application they give an airbrushed finish to the skin.
I have been trying out some of the eye shadow this week in 'Deep Purple' which is also the hottest colour this coming season, it is a loose shadow that applies easily with a blending/fluff brush to create a soft wash of colour over the lids. The shadow can also be adapted to a creamy shadow by simply adding a little water to the powder, you'll get a much stronger colour with this & you can create a bolder evening look this way, using it dry gives a soft wash of colour suitable for the day. Both dry or wet the shadow is eay to blend & apply to the lids as well as being long lasting too.

Best Inexpensive Lip Gloss - Rimmel

Looking for an inexpensive lip gloss that goes the distance???....well Rimmel's Sweet Jelly range is definitely worth trying out! Firstly they smell & taste amazing, literally good enough to eat (!!), and secondly they last really well staying put for quite a few hours, they also feel great on the lips & glide on easily with no sticky feeling. I have been using this gloss (120 Sweetie) with clients over the last few weeks, I bought it as a temporary replacement for a popular Mac gloss that was out of stock & I must say everybody that I have used it with has absolutely loved it, not only for the great taste (this one tastes like caramel) but the feel of it as well - I think it will be a permanent fixture in my make-up box from now on!
