I am always on the hunt for the new nail trends, sad I know but it’s what us beauty journalists live for! So when I heard that Sienna Miller, queen of the new trend has been loving nail brand Essie new shade, Mink Muffs, £8.95 (www.nailsbymail.co.uk) then I had to try it out and I can safely say I’m in nail heaven. It’s a few shades darker than a natural pink and a few shades lighter than a brown so it’s the perfect everyday colour as when it chips – and they always do – you don’t really notice. Get yours now before Miss Miller buys the stock out.

Preen yourself
by Sarah-Jane
I have always loved Urban Decay make-up palettes. They always include just the right mix of colours and the pigment in the eye shadows means the colour you see is the colour you get.
Plus the packaging is so fun and quirky and their new palette, Preen that you Preen, £18 (larger Boots stores), is no exception. Encased in the peacock printed palette is a mixture of peacock inspired purples, blues and greens as well as the fantastic 24/7 glide on eye liner – it truly is one of the best that I have ever tried. Plus if that wasn’t enough there is also a mini sized version of the Eyeshadow Primer potion, a silky smooth primer that keeps your eyeshadow in place all night. Perfect for the party season.

Bathtime Bliss
by Sarah-Jane
There’s nothing better than a long hot soak in the tub, so I predict that this Soap & Glory Big Bather gift set is going to be a sell-out. It costs a bargain £15 and includes Clean Girls moisturising body wash, The Daily Smooth body butter and best of all a gorgeous retro satin shower cap. My top tip? Pour a cupful of the Clean Girls into the bath, slather on your favourite hair conditioner, pop the shower cap on and soak your troubles away and then smother the body butter on whilst your skin is still a little bit damp for optimum moisturisation. It’s available from Boots now so make sure you put it on your Christmas wish list.

Chocolate treats without the calories!
by Sarah-Jane
If you, like me, struggle to say no to anything vaguely chocolatey then you will love these new sweet treats from Asda’s brand, n-spa (0500 100 055). They have just launched two new bath syrups in deliciously irresistible flavours, Chocolate Waffle and Chocolate Cranberry. They are normally £3.89 each but at the moment you can buy three for just £10, how can you resist?

The right present
by Nina
October just started and somehow retailers want us to believe that Christmas is on our doorstep. It seems like it is starting earlier every year. On the other hand it is good to be reminded early on so you can think about what presents you should tell your Santa about.
125x125.png)
For me Christmas presents are about fragrances. And each year I get a fragrance that is absolutely not my thing but I have to smile anyway and say I love it. That is why every year I try to ‘hint’ to my Santa what fragrance I like. On LatestInBeauty.com we have some very different fragrances to try out at the moment and it gives you a great opportunity to find something new you might like for Christmas. 
We have DKNY Delicious Night for Women. It is a very nice and seductive fragrance and you will get 2x bubble vials and 2x 7ml sachets of their gorgeous body lotion. Or you can try one of the Fleurs de Bach award winning fragrances from France. Présence(s) is nice and flowery and Vivacité(s) is more of a woody type.
Both fragrances do have the mood enhancing ‘Bach Essences’ which gives more than just an olfactory experience. Finally for some fun the new Avril Lavigne Black Star Eau de Parfum. Perhaps you are a big fan of her or your teenage niece might love you for getting her a sample.
All in all there are some different things to try out but most importantly; try before you 'let Santa' buy to make sure none of you will be disappointed!

It’s a Parisienne beauty
by Sarah-Jane
Once I have found a perfume I like, I don’t tend to stray. I can remember smelling a particular fragrance when I was 13 and I’ve worn it ever since. So, as you can tell, it takes quite a special scent for me to usurp one of my stables in favour of a newbie.
But this is exactly what has happened with YSL’s latest perfume, Parisienne. Not only does the cute pink bottle look gorgeous, but the smell – a mixture of blackberry and rose – is divine. I haven’t stopped wearing it since it landed on my desk and I have had so many comments about it - a sure-fire way to know you're on to a winner. Plus Kate Moss is used in the advertising and if it’s good enough for Kate…
