+ London Fashion Week Beauty Trends (02/03/2010 - 09:09:14)
+ Retro Makeovers for Macmillan Cancer Support (06/02/2010 - 08:45:34)
Beauty on the catwalks of London, usually so wacky the looks make your eyes bleed, this season was as bland as a beige twinset. Very little to be said really, flawless matt skin, camel, caramel, taupe, greige, cream, toffee, tan, stone, fawn - are you asleep yet - tones. Light brown or no mascara, strong Natalia Vodianova-style eyebrows, contoured blusher with a hint of peach on the apple and basically a couple of seconds to run a brush through the model's hair before they made their entrance.

Jane Iredale's PurePressed Compacts are now available in a new greener and refillable version. The new compact is made from anodised aluminium meaning it is kinder to the environment and easy to recycle. The refill that accompanies the compact is a cheaper and greener way to enjoy the PurePressed Bases. The new system couldn't be simpler - just use the pinhole at the back of the compact, 'pop' out the old pan and 'swap' in the new refill, fixing it to the magnet on the inside of the new style compact. The new refillable compacts are slightly more expensive initially, but there is a significant saving each time a refill is purchased. Complete (Refillable) Pressed Powder Compacts RRP £39.95. Pressed Powder Compact Refills RRP £29.95
