md formulations. I’m intrigued…

I’ve heard many great things about this brand so have decided to introduce the four step program to my daily routine – Cleanse, Correct, Hydrate and Protect. It’s been established for over 20 years, they were the first company to combine Glycolic Acid and Vitamin A together (which translates to penetrating through to the basal layer of your skin), clinical and medical papers back up md formulations claims of dramatically improving skin (in as little as four weeks) so I’m in. I’ll be the guinea pig. I’ll get back to you in a few weeks Sticky Lipsters with my full review.

I have heard that Glycolic can make skin sting when you first start using it, but I’m assured its totally normal! Introduce the products slowly and build up to am and pm application daily once your skin has adapted. This is results driven – no fancy packaging, no marketing gimmicks – the results (apparently) do the talking. md, over to you….

Hi I’m Matte.

Matte wants to be used…Matte wants to be your friend with benefits…I always look better after I’ve been with Matte…So I tapped Matte last night…And again this morning…

And no.  Matte is not a guy (sob). Matte is the new foundation from bareMinerals – yet to be launched nationwide, but not far off. Infused with RareMinerals Active Soil Complex, Matte is clinically proven to reduce pore size, increase cell turnover and eliminate shine while providing a gorgeous velvet matte finish.

Need Matte now (and who could blame you)? QVC had Matte all of July and Selfridges have had the lovely Matte for all of August. Come September, Matte will be on the underground, your local bar…well, Matte is available and interested in meeting women!

Sticky Lipsters – this is the first mineral company to have ever produced a matte formula! If I were you…I’d get in with Matte quick. Take me to the beauty counter! W1? I’m all over it!

If there is one genre of consumer magazine that is absent as I flick through the many titles in my local Smiths - it is most certainly a smart, engaging pop magazine aimed at women - not teenage girls. The launch of the X Factor magazine is promising to be an exploration of interesting features, beauty and fashion - with a dash of pop, naturally. I can’t wait for the first issue! Roll on September…I need a ‘get the look’ Cheryl fix NOW!

Picture this. A candle lit bathroom, Jill Scott’s delicious vocals and a deep bath sprinkled with Golden Emu Oil & Poppy Seed Bath Oil. Heaven? Perhaps. A few drops is all you need to feel and smell divine. Best of all, 50p from every sale of this product is donated to the Royal British Legion Trading Company. Relaxation has never been so good for the soul!
