In Spring 2010 Lancôme are launching another Pret-à-Porter lipstick in the U.S and this time they are collaborating with hot-new-kid-on-the-designer-block Chris Benz. To celebrate they have just launched a new competition and are asking you to come up with a brand new name for their lipstick!
The shade is yet to be designed but will be inspired by Benz' SS10 collection and will be worn by all his models at the September show. The name can be anything but should be inspired by his 'fashion personality'. You may not of heard about him so get googling!
The winner will receive a $500 Lancôme voucher (roughly £300 for us Brits but still impressive).
All you have to do, and this is the bit we love, is become a fan of Chris Benz on Facebook and post your suggestions on his wall before the 12th of July!
Tis the season for bright and beautiful nails! In the Summer we tend to unleash our colourful side so bright nail polishes are always popular at this time of year. But if this season's neon shades scare you a little then why not opt for one of the subtle rainbow colours in Ciaté's new Candy Couture range. Inspired from the SS09 catwalks (Chloe, Versace, DKNY to name but a few) the six-strong collection includes a gorgeous pastel blue, lemon yellow and dusky pink shade. We are loving 'Fruity Pops' a creamy coral - the mellow way to wear orange!
Ciaté Paint Pots are £9 each and available to buy at www.ciate.co.uk
Arrogant Cat, the unique fashion label, has just launched its first two fragrances. If you're a fan of the boutique's eclectic designs then you'll love these unique new scents housed in striking cat-eye bottles.
Dawn I is for day and Dusk I is for those glam nights out. With the same notes of plum, orange and cedar wood they are equally as heady but have different concentrations so smell totally
individual. Both are sexy, strong and intoxicating - in a good way! But whilst Dawn (blue) is still intense it is slightly fresher with the notes of lily really prominent -it smells like a seductive talcum powder! Whilst Dusk (red) is far deeper, fruitier and the essences of orange and plum make it a strong oriental scent.
The perfect antidote to sweet girly fragrances, if you like sensual perfumes like Christian Dior's Poison and Agent Provocateur's you may have just found your next signature scent.
Dawn I and Dusk I Eau de Parfum, £69 each, are available exclusively at Selfridges, all Arrogant Cat Stores and at www.arrogantcat.com.
Yesterday I went down to Boots' Christmas Press Day (they are done early for all those monthly magazines that work WAY in advance) and met the fabulous Gok Wan.
I expected him to be there as a guest providing words of wisdom on all things stylish but it turns out he is actually launching his own beauty range for Boots, come Christmas.
The range called Gorgeous by Gok is a selection of bath and body products all designed to pamper, pamper, pamper!

As a beauty writer people always expect you to have amazing hair, a cellulite-free body and flawless skin. When they meet me I think they're a little disappointed that I don't look like a Disney Princess!
Now, I won't Iie I have somewhat blossomed since I started in the beauty industry but the one thing that really lets my 'beauty writer' appearance down is my skin and there is one very shameful reason for this. Something that will have beauty professionals (and all you K&M readers) shrieking with horror.
I have no skincare routine.
Yep 'do as I say and not as I do'.
Read on after the jump to find out how I get on with Clinique's 3-step Skin Care System - my first ever skincare routine!
