Berry beautiful

by Sarah-Jane

There aren’t many female celebrities who not only look amazing, are fantastically talented and you think would be super nice with it, but Halle Berry ticks all those boxes.

So it’s no surprise that her new fragrance - Halle by Halle Berry EDP, ₤23 for 30ml (available nationwide), is a huge success. A huge fan of fragrance, the Oscar winning actress says ‘For years I have created my own personal scents by mixing and layering fragrances, trying to come up with something unique and different.’

And that’s exactly what she has done with her new fragrance. It’s a mixture of fruity pear, floral freesia and woody sandalwood, but don’t take my word for it, it’s out in the shops now so stop and have a sniff.

Wonder mascara

by Sarah-Jane

I have often waxed lyrical about various new wonder mascaras that either vibrate, are shaped like a cactus or lengthen the lashes as well as coating them decadently black.

Well, there’s a new contender on the market and it’s no surprise that it comes from Lancome, who are known for their innovation in mascara. Their latest offering is the Hypnose Drama mascara, ₤19.50 (www.lancome.co.uk) , it’s unique S-shaped brush makes sure that every lash gets covered, even the teeny tiny ones in the corners of your eyes. I have had so many comments from friends about it that I’ve now got them all converted. Hopefully you will be too.
