Coloour changing nail varnish seems like something you should have left behind when you entered your teens, but seeing as everything youth orientated is now in style (Barbie makeup, multicloured nails, hair streaks) ther's no reason grown women can't enjoy the sensation of watching their varnish change colour. Del Sol is the latest brand on the market to offer this, and they've just come to the UK. They work via sunlight, so your nails will be one colour in the house and another in the sun. There are twenty four shades in the range, so you should be able to find something you like!

I love mascara. Love, love, love the stuff. It definitely makes it into the top three of my desert island beauty picks (sunscreen and lip balm in case you were wondering) and I get very excited about any new products. I've recently been playing with the brand new Volumizer mascara from Bourjois, and am very impressed. The mascara features TWO brushes to allow you to create two different looks, the idea being you go for subtle during the day and vamp it up at night.

I'm a big fan of creamy cleansers as I find they work really well for my skin, removing all traces of makeup, whilst laving it soft and supple. I have never really got to grips with cleansing mousses however, but the latest launch from Decleor sounded so tempting I had to have a try. Entitled the Hydra Radiance Smoothing Cleansing Mousse, it's also known as the 'Aroma Cleanse' (well, according to the bottle anyway) it's a product that comes with three promises- Deep Cleansing, Skin Polishing and Perfecting and Hydrating and Plumping. Woah, that's a lot of claims for one little cleanser- will it live up to them in the testing process?

First off I want to admit that I don't struggle that much with large pores. Well, at least I think I didn't till I tried this product. It's not that my skin worsesned after use, rather that my nose area seemed so much smoother that made me wonder why I'd never tried a pore product before.

Digging into our fall makeup box we're very excited about the Estee Lauder Blue Dahlia Collection. Yes, yes, we were seduced by the beautiful image of Hilary Rhoda. But trying out a few of the colors has only improved our opinion.
"The blues and purples in the collection are iconic colors for autumn and winter," said Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director. "I like to give women choices in the way that they look. From a neutral to a smoky to a fashionable, strong look, these shades can be used with them all.
We review a couple things from each of the two color palettes after the jump.

Pronounce 'ee-loom' this tricky to spell product is the latest wonder cream to hit the UK, and I'm afraid I have to tell you that it 100% works. The cream was created to give your skin more radiance and help prevent prenature aging, and it uses a range of impressive ingredients to do so. Formulated to work as part of a two step programme, the cream is designed to be used in conjunction with their specialist skin supplement, to heal the body inside and out.
Due to the fact that I'm not very good at taking pills, I've just been trialling the moisturiser for the last four weeks, and am happy to report that you can get great results without swallowing daily supplements (though I'm sure they help).

Due to the strange weather, my skin has been playing up lately, and when I noticed large blemishes appearing all over my face, I knew it was time for something slightly stronger than my normal routine. Skin can become used to the same products, so I decided to try something different, and I'm so glad I did. When I received the Witch Blemish Pen I was initially a bit sceptical, as this is a brand I associate with my teens, but the results spoke for themselves.
I was a big fan of the applicator, as the squeezy tube ends in a brush head, so you literally stroke the product onto your skin, and don't need to dab or use your fingers at all. The gel formula is completely invisible, and it dries very quickly. I found that I got better results slightly overloading the skin and using this overnight, as under makeup it looked slightly shiny.
