“After a lifetime of very luckily being spot-free, once I’d had my fourth child, my skin decided to rebel and I am now prone to the odd breakout so I was interested to test out the blemish stick as there’s nothing worse than having a belisha beacon of a whoppa on the end of your nose!” - Kathryn

Welcome to the 21st century, for we now have toxin free nail polish! I am seriously blown away by this stuff, having shunned nail polish for the last few years I am now a lot more confident knowing that I can use Zoya’s products instead of regular nail polish full of toxic chemicals. These nail polishes are vegan friendly and safe - free of toxic Toluene, Formaldehyde, DBP and Camphor as well as being the longest wearing natural nail polishes available.
I have been rocking the Roxy, dancing in Diana and kissing in Casey…next up Raven! Perfect for A/W09.

Just because your summer clothes have been packed away, it doesn’t mean you should let your body beauty regime slide. It is just as important to apply moisturiser in the winter months; central heating, hot baths and cold weather cause your skin to dry-out, flake and itch. But which products work? Here ten ELLE staffers bravely put body butters, lotions, oils and creams to the test…
Best for: eco fans
This eco brand should be top of any ‘green’ beauty fan’s list. The packing is green (of course) and looks unfussy enough to be expensive. The cream smells fresh and feels light, and almost frothy. It did take a while to absorb into the skin, feeling slightly greasy at first but after a couple of minutes it made my skin smooth and glowing, without any residue. At the end of the day my skin felt softer still - this is one hardworking body cream.
