Review of Trish McEvoy Instant Pick-Me-Up Lips

Trish McEvoy Instant Pick-Me-Up Lips (£19) is a product that launched last year, but it's something that I've just discovered. Remember when you were a kid and you could buy those green or blue mood lipsticks that would change colour when you put them on?

Little Bu Nail Polish for Young Girls Launches

Not only do I love this new safe, fun and adorably packaged nail varnish range for little girls, but I love the story behind how it was created. I first met founder Patricia Dente-Haimes in Paris on a press trip for Chanel where we became fast friends. Soon after, she moved from New York to London, to my delight, and has since gotten married and is due to have her first child early next year. Read more
