London Fashion Week is well underway and the very fashionable girls at Catwalk Queen have been working like crazy to cover every minute of it for you (yes, even over the weekend!). So far, they've met and interviewed Matthew Williamson and Diane Von Furstenburg, and shared their fashion week outfits with the world. So that's the clothes, but what about the hair and makeup?

The Nivea Oxygen Power Testers have been dutifully testing the new Nivea Oxygen Power Reviving Day Cream for a little while now, and they'll be sharing their initial thoughts with you throughout the week...
I've been using the Nivea Visage Oxygen Power Reviving Day Cream for
just over a week and am reasonably
pleased with it.I have very greasy, oily skin and I usually find that moisturisers
that aren't specifically for oily skin make me even greasier and
oilier. This isn't doing that, and nor is it tightening the skin
unpleasantly as some moisturisers for oily skin do.
It smells very fresh and pleasant, and sinks in nicely...Charlotte HowellsFacial MoisturisersNew ProductsProduct ReviewsBeauty Neighbours: What's on at Shiny Gloss and Beaut.ie are one tag:typepad.com,2003:post-388920132007-09-14T17:18:45+01:002007-09-14T16:18:45Z2007-09-14T16:18:45Z

The Private Collection scent was originally created by Aerin Lauder for herself and her friends, but the blend of tuberose and gardenia has now been released to the public.
The stones on the solid perfume compact and the parfum bottle are all natural semi-precious gems including aventurine, yellow and green jade, citrine, lemon and mustard stones, making each bottle totally unique. And also - totally expensive.

First things first, how difficult was it to recreate those leopard print eyes?
When I originally planned the shoot for this look I thought it was going to be very difficult to recreate but in fact it was quite easy. I used a base colour all over the lids. Then using gel liner I drew the shapes in adding in a red pigment inside of it. It was time consuming making sure it was all blended perfectly and the eyeliner was perfect and I do recommend practising this look a few times first before doing it for real...

(Yes, I have crazy combinations of interests). While at a surf trade show last week, I discovered two products that straddled both my obsessions. Perfumes...for surfer gal types. Fffrozen make a lovely scent called Beach and they also sell Stoked by Bethany Hamilton (a Hawaiian surfer girl who got attacked by a shark but still surfs!). I had a good old sniff of them both and they're both lovely beachy scents (think coconut and tropical flowers), which is a bit late for summer, but at least we can pretend. Here's a little vid of the products (sorry the sound isn't great, it was noisy).Charlotte HowellsAudio & VideocastsPerfume & FragranceRunway Rundown SS08: Coloured streaks and rock-chick glitter at Anna Sui by Pat McGrath and Garrentag:typepad.com,2003:post-387806212007-09-12T11:57:47+01:002007-09-12T10:57:47Z2007-09-12T10:57:47Z

I've read a lot of beauty books. A lot. With the amount of beauty tips I've amassed from reading them all, I could probably write my own. So it takes something special for me to get excited about a new release, and when I heard that straight-talking outed blogger and ex-beauty editor Nadine Haobsh was releasing a beauty tips book, I was excited.
