Danni Minogue's Yummy Mummy Glow!

Dannii Minogue was glowing yesterday as she unveiled her new fashion line at Selfridges in London. Project D, which goes on sale in June, is in collaboration with designer Tabitha Somerset-Webb, includes day dresses, cocktail chic and red-carpet-ready dresses. Dannii's burgeoning bump was looking effortlessly chic in her sparkling sequined dress which fitted beautifully, she said herself, "This one's stretched sequin thankfully so it goes over the bump! Being pregnant has completely opened my mind to having to really try different shapes and things I haven't worn before. You've got to dress cleverly around it but I've managed to get into my dresses without any alterations."
Danni spoke about her reasons for launching the new range, "Fashion has been a passion of mine since I can remember and I hope that every woman who slips on a Project D dress will feel glamorous yet effortless.
"Our philosophy is to make feeling confident with your wardrobe easy. We will do the hard work and get the details on the dresses right, so all you have to do is enjoy them.
"To me a dress design never comes to life till it is slipped on - who knows what adventures the dresses in this collection will get up to?"
The Autumn/Winter collection will be the first from the range & will also be followed by an accessories collecting plus a new fragrance later this year.
Get The Glow!
Get Dannii's fabulous glow with some gorgeous bronzer, go for one with a warm pink tone through it to give that healthy complexion look Dannii is pulling off so perfectly! Try out Benefit's 'Dallas' bronzer, it has the perfect pigment balance between bronzed & rosey making it suitable for even paler skin tones, just sweep over the cheek bones with a large brush, start on the apple of the cheeks & focus most of the colour in that area by smiling in the mirror as you apply it.

OLD HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR GETS A MAKEUNDER AS BRISTISH WOMEN VOTE NATURAL BEAUTY AS THE SECRET TO A MODERN SCREEN SIREN

Modern day leading ladies like Kate Winslet and Jennifer Aniston lack the Hollywood glamour of previous film goddesses like Elizabeth Taylor and Raquel Welch, new research revealed yesterday.

But that's the way Britain's women like it because they prefer the understated, realistic girl next door look, according to a poll by Venus Embrace.
Film fans say the glamour surrounding female film stars may have dimmed compared to big screen icons in the '50s and '60s, but the latest rom-coms showing stars such as Sienna Miller and Cameron Diaz in natural styling and make-up are more appealing to modern women than the unattainable soft-focus beauty sirens of yesteryear.
An overwhelming seven in ten women polled nationwide said they believed that leading ladies who harness their natural assets are the modern goddesses of this generation.
Rather than bold lips and over styled hair, women cite more subtle forms of glamour to help them feel more confident in their own close romantic moments, and toned body (41%), groomed legs and bikini line (25%), flattering outfit (20%), highlighting scent (14%), a as their secret weapons.
Surprisingly, only a mere (3%) felt awkward body scars (2%) their cleavage, or lack of tan (0%) posed as a barrier to confidence when with their partner.
The understated beauty of actresses like Jennifer Aniston and Kate Winslet has won the hearts of women all over the country, as they top the poll of screen goddesses British women admire most.
At number one is Jennifer Aniston, admired by 24 per cent of the 2,000 women polled by Venus Embrace, for her glowing and natural look.
At number two is Kate Winslet, whose English rose look is loved by 14 per cent of modern women, while eight per cent still admire 'sultry and exotic’ Sophia Loren.
Marilyn Monroe's curvaceous and glamorous look is still loved by eight per cent of women, while four per cent love Cameron Diaz for her beach goddess image.
Screen icon Elizabeth Taylor is still admired three per cent, while Julie Christie's ‘preened and modish’ image is admired by two per cent.
At nine in the list is 'slender and elegant' Kate Bosworth , while bottom of the list is Raquel Welsh.
To help women feel like a leading lady in their own lives, Venus Embrace has enlisted the help of beauty expert from the film industry to advise women on how to harness their natural assets - taking the lead from the modern on-screen goddesses we love.
Make-up artist Tina Earnshaw said: "I have noticed the change in trend towards achieving a more natural look on screen, rather than the elaborate sirens from the past.
"The challenge with this understated look is with the advancement of cinematic technologies such as high-definition, every detail is visible on screen which means fine flaws such as smudged make-up or rogue hairs are easily detected.”
She advises women hoping to match Hollywood's modern natural look to invest in a five-blade razor like Venus Embrace for red-carpet worth legs, use tanning and bronzing products to achieve that LA glow and always apply smudge proof make-up for those up-close moments with your leading man - are you ready for your close up?

Table - Top screen goddesses:

1 Jennifer Aniston (24%)
2 Kate Winslet (14%)
3 Sophia Loren (8%)
4 Marilyn Monroe (6%)
5 Cameron Diaz (4%)
6 Rachel McAdams (4%)
7 Elizabeth Taylor (3%)
8 Julie Christie (2%)
9 Kate Bosworth (1%)
10 Raquel Welsh (0%)

Get Set For Summer With Gillette Venus!

We've had the weather we all complain about never seeing over the last week, amazing sunshine & even though it's still April, looking out the window it could be July!! So out goes the old winter togs & Uggs and back in with the shorts & gladiator sandals, only thing to do is remove the winter fuzz & get our legs back in smooth summer glory ready for the sunshine!
So Gillette some new additions to their razor collection just in time to come to our aid, never has shaving been so easy, so you can say goodbye to nasty shaving rashes & say hello to gorgeous smooth hair free legs & underarms in minutes!
I have just tried out Gillette's newbie the 'Venus Spa Breeze 2in1' & quite frankly it is the best razor I have ever used, I love it!!!! It has built in shave bars that include skin conditioning ingredients to keep the skin moisturised while shaving as well flex around your body to ensure a smooth finish. So no need to lather up in the shower before you start shaving, then mess around with reapplying & dragging your razor back along, just one quick & clean swoop & you're done - perfect!!!! I definitely recommend all girls to stock up for summer, the shave gel bars last really well too & I haven't had to change mine over just yet (they also come with a handy case for your razor as well to sit it the shower), certainly no need for waxing when you have such a good razor!
Also in the range is the Venus Embrace, this provides a really precise finish with 5 blades & a moisture strip that adjusts & contours the body. The moisture strip is excellent & really helps minimise any shaving rash & the blades are so precise you can guarantee no cuts!
So anyway, get shopping & get those legs out before the sun disappears!!!
