This year’s trend for glamorous 70s

style is not limited to the clothes

rails – make-up counters are getting

in the groove with their own take on

disco dazzle. No 7’s Summer Limited

Edition Sundowner Collection brings

bronze metallic eyes, shimmering

skin and glossy red lips into the 21st

century. The gorgeously glittery No

7 Sunset Metallic Eye Palette and

Sultry Glow Bronzer, both £13.50,

will be available from May 18, along

with special shades of Lipgloss and

Stay Perfect Nail Polish. But the

collection won’t be hanging around

for long, so snap up your favourites

and get the diva look before they

boogie off into the sunset.

For a bolder take on this year’s metallic trend, have a look at the

new 17 Miami Pop Summer Limited Edition Collection at Boots.

Combining luxe bronze tones with hot neons, this range covers two

trends in one. With its funky flamingo design, the packaging pays

homage to Miami’s Art Deco district. Available in bright orange and

hot pink, the Nail Colour, £2.99, gives you fashionable fingers but

remember to pick up the Bronzer, £4.99, for that perfect golden

glow. Don’t miss your chance to add a touch of Florida sunshine to

your look – the collection will be available for just four

weeks from June 15. RVP

Protecting your

skin against the

harmful effects of

summer sun should

be second nature,

but how many of us

remember to protect

our hair? The new

UV Shine Protector

Spray from Trevor

Sorbie Professional

is designed to

shield tresses from

damaging UV rays,

while adding an

extra healthy gloss.

Available exclusively

from Boots, the

product comes in

Kiss & make-upGirls just love great make-up products and if

they come in fun packaging, so much the better.

So Clinique’s new Chubby Stick Moisturising Lip

Colour Balm, £13.50, is sure to be an immediate favourite

when it goes on sale at Fenwick on April 15.

Shaped like a big crayon, the product looks fantastic and

comes in eight quirky shades, such as Chunky Cherry,

Woppin’ Watermelon, Super Strawberry and Whole Lotta

Honey. Already a hit with make-up artists looking for the

perfect pout, I predict this nourishing new lip product will

become a real handbag must-have this season. RVPClinique Chubby Stick

For your homeEstablished in 1953, Chilstone’s long history has enabled us to perfect a reconstituted stone with a superb texture, making it virtually indistinguishable from quarried stone and a perfect for compliment for your home. From wall caps to complete staircases our stone is entirely hand made by craftsmen, giving us the kind of control during the production process which enables us to readily adapt our standard items to your design requirements.

For your gardenEach Chilstone ornament is handmade in reconstituted stone by a special process, developed over our long history to ensure a fi nished texture virtually indistinguishable from natural stone. The colour and texture of the material is midway between Portland and Bath stones, and its composition encourages the spontaneous growth of mosses and lichens, which rapidly gives it the aged quality of the original. This important characteristic ensures that each ornament blends harmoniously with its setting.

For youDue to the diversity of our production process and skilled craftsmanship Chilstone can now provide a complete bespoke commissioning service. From a small stone statue to a large brass sundial we can design, create and personalise the perfect gift to your exact requirements and needs.
