With holidays and press trips a plenty, there’s no excuse not to have perfect, polished tootsies right now. We recommend a little tripette down to our favourite place, the Margaret Dabbs Foot Spa in the basement of Liberty. Ok, so we might have banged on about how great these guys are before, but seriosuly they are worth shouting about. Today we had the delightful Victoria who got to work on those unwanted ingrown toenails and hard skin immediately. And all in an hour we were prepped and primed ready for the impending trip to Ibiza on Wednesday. Vi

Picture the scene readers, lovey dovey dreamy eyed newly-weds Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz were bored one day recently, so decided to have a lovely day out. On their way to London Zoo they stopped off at Boots and Daniel decided to buy Rachel a prezzie. After staggering out of the shop with the most enormous magnum of Bulgari’s fragrance, Jasmin Noir (after all, nothing is too good for Rachel) they made their way happily to their destination.
Well, London Zoo is a big place and that bottle of pong was extremely heavy and the weather was pretty hot. T

God forbid you try and travel anywhere in London last night as the phenomenal and final Harry Potter premiere, oh and the biggest crowds we’ve ever seen outside Glasto, hit Trafalgar Square last night. Our eyes, naturally, were peeled for a glimpse of the lovely Miss Emma Watson who emerged in a divine Oscar de la Renta creation and a darker, more structured version of her now famous pixie crop which we reckon she’s currently growing out. We loved her very natural Lancôme make up look, especially those perfectly defined dark brows (very A/W ’11), which had the entire Grazia beauty team considering dye jobs to transform our altogether invisible blonde brows. What are your thoughts?
Oooh and talking of brows, we’ve just got wind of the fact that La Watson is a fan of our fave Blink Brow Bar saying, ‘I love Blink Brow Bar and won’t trust anyone else with my brows!’ Wowzer. We’re booking in and you should too.
And as for those mini tears? Being the consumate

One of the highlights of working in Grazia Team Beauty is that amongst other things, we get to try out lots of lovely beauty products. Don’t get us wrong; we have had to scrub off many a hideous mask in our time, but generally the trial and error is all part of the fun, especially when it involves scented candles. We’re always up for testing these guys in and outside the office and the latest ones are from Aroma Works. These smellies are made in England (and ever since that Royal Wedding we’ve been loving all things British). As well as being completely natural – they’re made of organic soy and beeswax - they also contain the purest essential oils out there. With a ra

Liz’s Chanel-ified beauty bureau
I’m not a signature scent kind of girl; I get easily distracted from my current bottle by the latest and greatest one to land on my desk. (Lucky me!) This summer though I have been determined to cultivate a chic fragrance wardrobe (as part of an operation to de–clutter my life!) and here it is; courtesy of Chanel. Now, I’ve got it down to three ‘go anywhere’ fragrances; Beige, Sycamore and their latest classic No 19 Poudre. The first can only be described as cashmere in a bottle. I literally fee
