We’re big fans of Clinique products at Beauty Now, so when we heard about their latest line for Spring we were overjoyed. Their Spring Collection is called Juiced up Colour, and features an array of delicious looking products. The lineup has been inspired by their Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Lip Colour, and all the cosmetics on offer bear some correlation to the fruit family.

The range covers all areas, from alluring face powders and shimmers to multi-toned eyeshadows that add some sparkle to the eye. We’ve decided to share our favourites from this forthcoming collection with you. (more…)

The newly relaunched HQHair and my-wardrobe.com, an entirely fashion-focused web site offering you the latest season’s high fashion clothing, shoes, and accessories, have joined forces to provide you with the lowdown on the hottest, most on-trend looks.

This expert advice combines the fashion wisdom of my-wardrobe.com and the beauty guru-ness of HqHair.com, and includes details of key pieces that will help you achive the trend, as well as a full selection of make-up and cosmetics to complement the fashion style and assist you in replicating the complete catwalk look in the comfort of your own home.

This season’s look is “architectural” and you can find out more here.

Just a quick technical notice that Beauty Now has been successfully launched onto our production environment (as opposed to our technical team’s development set-up).

In non-geek speak this means we’ve got a shiny new home! It also explains why we’ve been a bit quiet for the last couple weeks, as we were cut off from our precious blog during the move (we think it ended up in the box marked cutlery).

Our new landlords are the lovely Amazon, whose EC2 hosting platform is considered one of the most advanced, secure and scalable hosting solutions in the world (blimey!) Basically if its good enough for the world’s largest shopping website, its probably good enough for us!

As such we are one step closer to launching (more of this in our forthcoming Beta Progress Post). Hopefully those of you already visiting and using the site will notice that it starts to get much quicker over the next couple of weeks as we continue to tune everything up in anticipation for telling the world to come pay us a visit!

It party season and the mags are full of handy tips for products to help you look fabulous at each and every event you attend (even if it just one round of client drinks and the office party – you grump!)

To save you from reading through them all (and lets face give you more time to read all about Katie/Peter, Cheryl and of course the mighty Jedward!) we’ve compiled a list of some of the best tips and have even provided links to our beauty price comparison page for each – well its what we love doing…

The first 5 are for looking your best on the night; and numbers 6, 7 & 8 are to prevent all the late finishes and early starts (not to mention the onset of the cold and associated central heating) from making your skin and hair suffer too much!
