Selfridges

Last month, Georgia Jagger and Jerry Hall launched hot new Aussie suncare line Invisible Zinc at Selfridges and ever since I've been dying to try out some of the products! The unique selling point of the line is that it actually creates a natural physical barrier on the skin, protecting completely against UVA, UVB and environmental damage. Each product is made from Zinc Oxide which is said to be the best and safest blocking agent from the sun but is invisible when applied.

What is it with models and skincare lines? First Cindy Crawford launches her own skincare range. Then Gisele jumps in with an skincare ethical line. Now Georgia Jagger and Jerry Hall have stepped in to the frey. Yesterday the mother-daughter duo unveiled their latest collaboration with Invisible Zinc, an Australian skincare line at Selfridges. Check it out!

Georgia and Jerry have teamed with the brand to promote its range of skincare products that specialise in giving complete protection from environmental and sun damage using zinc oxide. The range includes face cream, tinted cheek balm and serum roller pens (for targeting specific areas) among a host of other goodies and is being sold exclusively at Selfridges (£23-27). Invisible Zinc already has a formidable reputation in Australia so it's exciting that it's hitting UK shores. I'll be experimenting with the range over the next week, so watch this space! Are you interested in Invisible Zinc?

Oxfam are set to open Britain's biggest charity shop tomorrow as they prepare to launch a pop-up store inside Selfridges. It will sell donations from celebrities and high end designers including Beyonce, Alexa Chung, Elle Macpherson, Dame Helen Mirren, Little Boots, Dame Shirley Bassey, Dame Vivienne Westwood, Anya Hindmarch, Stella McCartney and Christian Lacroix.

The Oxfam Curiosity Shop will be open until 20th May. Some of the A list donations will be auctioned online, including Carey Mulligan's BAFTA gown. Bidding has started on the Vionnet dress at just £50. She commented, "I'm honoured to be able to donate my Bafta dress to support Oxfam's work helping women living in extreme poverty across the world." There are many celebrity appearances planned at the shop. Will you be going to check it out?

Lancashire cricket ground played host to Fashion Kicks last night, which was a fundraising event for Macmillan Cancer Support. Soap stars and footballers attended the event which included a fashion show of Selfridges clothing. Some famous faces appeared in the presentation including Carlos Tevez, Patrick Viera and Amber Le Bon. The evening was organised by Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given and his wife Jane. See below for more photos from Fashion Kicks 2010.

I don't know about you, but there have always been a few makeup techniques that have eluded me. The perfect brow, for instance, I have never been able to achieve. Meanwhile, my attempts at creating a rock chick smokey eye shadow have ended up looking more like Alice Cooper than a music goddess! That's why I was excited to hear about Estée Lauder's latest project Beauty Gossip. The free initiative runs this month in all the brand's concessions and offers informal mini makeup tutorials to consumers on everything from creating the perfect brow, to tips on making makeup last all day long.

I swung by Estée Lauder's counter in Selfridges yesterday to check it out. To find out how I got on, just read more

Who needs a barbecue summer when you have fake tan? That's the verdict that Selfridges customers have reached anyway. The company announced an 80 percent uptick in fake tan sales yesterday!

Selfridges carries Fake Bake, Xen Tan, Shiseido and St. Tropez, along with tan prep treatments by Bliss, Kiehl’s, and Clarins. They said sales of one hot tanning brand were up as much as 56 percent in the company's Birmingham and Manchester branches.

Weather experts are predicting that this summer will be the hottest on record since 1976, but clearly shoppers, still jaded from the promises of sunshine last year, are taking matters in to their own hands.

Personally, I love fake tan, particularly gradual tanners like St. Tropez's Everyday gradual tanning range. They're great for having a golden glow without any of the guilt of damaging your skin. Are you a fan of fake tan?

Last night, two Alices teamed up to throw a fun party at London's Selfridges. Ms.Temperley held an Alice in Wonderland themed party to celebrate both the new Disney film and the latest Alice by Alice Temperley collection. There were performances by Courtney Love and New Young Pony Club whilst party goers danced and sipped champagne which was literally labeled 'drink me'. Some of Alice's celebrity friends attended the party including Jasmine Guiness, Jade Parfitt, Emilia Fox and Jade Jagger whilst Alice Dellal DJ'd. See below for more photos from the party.
