One of the leading beauty trends for summer – besides the predictable bronzed, ‘straight-outta-Rio’ look – saw pale pastel shades lighting up models eyes, cheeks and lips. Cottoning onto this, Benefit have launched their latest palette, a collection of glosses and shadows in tender pinks and seductive golds, quaintly named: ‘Pink to please a woman, Gold to get the guy’. Mix and match (with the cute brush provided) for an ethereal, high-summer look.
Pink to please a woman…Gold to get the guy!

If you’re as big a fan of fashion editor, Hadley Freeman’s, wry weekly advice column in The Guardian as we are, it’ll be music to your ears to hear she’s released a whole book of the stuff. Filled with Hadley’s typically sardonic approach to your sartorial dilemmas, Ms Freeman’s pinch-of-salt attitude in this A-Z of everything fashionable will have you laughing all the way to Bond Street, darling (most probably out loud, and in public).
