Barry M’s new lip gloss range is absolutely kisstastic!

Bubblegum Pink, Tropical Tango, Clear Coconut or Strawberries and Cream: whatever your taste you can be sure good ol’ Barry M has got it covered with this new range of lip gloss wands.

The new range features nine gorgeous shades, each with their own delicious scent. The easy-on gloss is smooth on the lips and despite the smell and taste; it won’t spend a lifetime on your hips. It will however take up long term residency in your make-up bag.

My favourite is the eye-popping Bubblegum Pink; the colour is perfect for summer and has that unmistakeable, feel-good smell. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been kissed more whilst wearing it ;-)

Now available in Boots and Superdrug or online at www.barrym.com.

Street Style: a savvy mix of old and new

Jen, 25, London

We like Jen’s relaxed, feminine style – her layered New Look dress featuring oh-so-summery florals works well with her fresh yellow cardigan from Portobello Market. Pale yellow is a great colour for showing off a summer tan, something that Jen has down to a T.

Jen’s sandals are from New Look; they look fab with bare legs and give the outfit the edge it needs to prevent it becoming overly cutesy.

Our favourite thing about Jen’s outfit has got to be the bag. It’s all about the bag. A classic style and quality leather, the bag was bought by Jen’s mum many years ago in Egypt - a proper vintage gem.

As with most vintage items, to wear them best you need to use your initiative: pick key pieces that fit well with what's currently in fashion. Don’t overdo it and choose vintage pieces that you can wear with what you’ve already got. Think shape, style and colour and avoid anything that makes you look like your granny.

SATC Movie OPEN Casting Call!

OMG times a million, as if I didn't wish I was in New York enough, August 4th plays host to open auditions for the new Sex and the City movie! Yes, SATC wants YOU! So if you happen to be across the pond next week (if you are, do you want to swap?) then get yourself down to the Metropolitan Pavillion at 10am. Baring in mind that former glamour model Jordan is rumoured to be auditioning to play the part of Carrie and Big's sexy English nanny, you could well be in with a fighting chance. Get your air tickets before they sell out!

SEQUINS ARE SENSATIONAL... AND WE LOVE THEM

The glitz, the glam and oh how we love sequins…

Check out this bad boy from topshop.com, a purple sequin frenzy of absolute gorgeousness (£50). The perfect Ibiza party frock for this weekends Radio 1 big bash. Which I might just add Fashion Victim is checking out… so watch this space for some cool street style… the Ibiza way!

INSIDERS TIP ON KEEPING THAT JUST LEFT THE SALON LOOK

With the credit crunch continuing to be taking it’s toll on our cash flow we need to look at ways of making the pounds go further. A great tip from those in the know on how to keep that just left the salon look longer is Silver Shampoo…

If your blonde hair is looking a little brassy put off that expensive trip to the hairdressers with the new Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Hairtherapy Amino Cell Rebuild Color Save shampoo. Containing silver pigment the shampoo neutralises yellow tones and leaves you with a more sophisticated ashy effect. The Color Save shampoo (£8.65) and conditioner (£9.85) strengthens and moisturises hair too, adding shine and freshness to coloured hair. Available from salons or online at Schwarzkopf.co.uk. We love this little gem and think it is well worth the investment, used once a week or every two weeks depending on how often you wash your hair, it will prolong your colour for at least another three weeks!

STELLA'S DELIGHTFUL DISNEY CAMPAIGN

We are brimming with joy at the sight of Stella McCartney's cutesy cartoon campaign for her new Autumn/Winter 09 collection. Featuring Bambi and Thumper this animated add is sure to appeal to your inner child whose fond memories of classic Disney films are recoiled. We would love to see the Little Mermaid with Arial and Sebastian under the sea, or Cinderella or the Seven Dwarfs; it is all just so magical and wonderful, with cherries on top and glass slippers.
