Beauty Releases

Clarins have launched a new Sun series to ensure you a beautiful tan with maximum protection. The series includes self tanners, sun cream with self tan in and after tan products. Intense Bronze Self Tanning Tint is not for the pale-skinned. It leaves a beautiful colour that deepens to a "I've been at the Bahamas for a week" kinda tan and last for almost a week. The new Clarins

Dr.Hauska is expanding his fantastic Rose Cream series with a new Rose Day Cream. Make sure you read his 7 pearls of skin wisdom and join the holistic movement, but remember that not all skin is created equal.

Elizabeth Arden have created a new version of their long loved Ceramide Capsules. Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules for the face and throat claim to help strengthen the skin's barrier against the visible signs of time. Each capsule is a single dose and contains the right amount of product for face and throat for a peachy complexion. I have already switched my regular Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Advanced Time Complex Face Capsules for these new supercharged Gold. Oddly seductive with Catherine Zeta Jones as the spokes model.

Lancome is back with more of my favorite juicy tubes. With cool tube detailing and bolder colours, 25 new juiced up glosses are hitting a Lancome make-up counter near you. Now all I need is to get a detector on each one so I don't keep losing the damn things! Lancome hav also come out with one of the oddest looking mascaras ever.... see if Cils Design Pro is your cup of tea.

MAC is as always trying to be a little edgy and different and this time they have def succeded.

Clinique is taking their famous 3-step-system three steps further and created the 3-step Anti-Blemish Solution. Kill them with kindness seems like an alternate way to handle spots...

Philosophy almost always have something on the go. I love the way the bottle make you feel god about yourself while you use them, and the products themselves are absolutly divine. I will be saving up for the new pink lemonade series coming out soon. For a sneak peek at what is coming out soon click here. Until these become availiable I will be sticking to some of my favorites, and despite not being a Bride-to-be I will be taking the handy and divine Philosophy Here Comes The Bride with me one hols which will keep me prim and prime in Hong-Kong or the Gobi desert. This set is also great if you are a Philosophy first-timer as it reflects the brand's standard and diviness!

The Body Shop has launched a new range of skin care for mature skin called Wise Woman. The long living noble stance of The Body Shop is branching out with everything now 100% Vegitarian. With half the products already recommended by reputable magazines and with The Body Shop's history of high class product, this'll be one not to miss this season if you have mature skin!

Molton Brown has created a new haircare line using natural scents such as lili shampoo and plum. I can't wait to try out this series. If you are new to Molton Brown products why not try an old favorit of mine Molton Brown Easygroom Quillaja Hair Texturizer, which gives hair medium hold, a light sheen and good texture with a subtle smell of sweet nutmeg.

Neutrogena are preparing us for a summer of sun with high factor sun protection essencial with our ozon layer rapidly declining and giving us less and less protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays. My newly bought Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunblock availiable in SPF30 and SPF45 in great for the girl on the move. The areosol can is maybe not so enviroment friendly but it does mean you can reach all those hard to get areas without any help, who needs to bring a man on holiday anymore?!

What have I forgotten? Or is there a brand that you would like to see here? I'm always up for testing new products!
