Trilogy, Rosapene Night Cream, £28.50
‘I once read that your skin regenerates itself between midnight and 2am, which really makes the case for using a night cream. Trilogy’s Rosapene night cream is one of my favourites. It comes in a frosted glass jar, giving it that apothecary feel, but it’s what’s on the inside that will get any lover of skin-healing oils going. The ingredients pack a powerful punch, with rosehip, marula, acai, sweet almond and avocado oils, blended with cocoa seed butter, aloe vera leaf extract and goji berries. It’s a cream with a consistency of substance, but isn’t cloggingly thick. If your skin could ask you for one thing at night, this would be it.’

New Name, New Bangs! Newly Married Millie Mackintosh Debuts Her Fringe

UPDATE: Mr and Mrs Manderson are back in London! Newly weds Millie Mackintosh and Professor Green hit the town last night for the first time since returning from their honeymoon, spending the evening at Pro Green’s new nightclub Ink.
The couple were looking suitably matchy-matchy with Millie wearing a white blouse and matching skinny jeans topped off with a cropped black jacket embellished with gold swishes while her hubby chose a black T-shirt also adorned with a gold print.
But what has us most excited is seeing Millie’s brand new fringe in real life. We’d seen a blurry snap of it on Instagram, but this is the first time the 23-year-old former Made in Chelsea star has taken it out on the town. It’s fluffy, slightly centre-parted and adorable, but may need to grow a few inches to nail that Sienna-esque boho vibe. What’s your verdict
23 September 2013: Millie Mackintosh Gets A New Fringe

She’s only just returned from honeymoon, but newlywed Millie Mackintosh has taken the plunge and opted for a new haircut to signal the start of her married life. The 23-year-old former Made in Chelsea star, who has changed her name to Millie Manderson on Twitter, shared an Instagram pic titled ‘I blame Sienna’, suggesting she was inspired by boho chic style queen, Sienna Miller. Millie had been previously testing out the look, by layering a piece of hair over her forehead, with an earlier tweet ‘Thinking about getting a fringe cut.. to chop or not to chop!!’. She didn’t take much convincing by her followers however, as an hour later she popped out of the hairdressers and unveiled new ‘do.

Millie’s dramatic transformation comes after honeymooning in Italy with new hubby, Professor Green aka Stephen Manderson. During their time away Millie’s social media accounts appeared rather quiet, as she waited until she arrived back in the UK before sharing romantic photos – as well as the full extent of her swimwear collection – with the world. Let’s hope she likes the look, as the dreaded transition of growing out a fringe is never ideal, even for a Chelsea girl!

Blogger Tanya Burr Reveals Her Diary In Pictures Including ‘The Face’ Launch
Posted on May 28, 2014 at 8:32 pm
YouTube Sensation Tanya Burr is a 24-year-old beauty expert, who has taken the video-sharing site by storm with her accessible and aspirational make-up and style tutorials. At the forefront of beauty, Tanya is also followed for her fashion flare. During this season’s London Fashion Week, she sat front row at shows for designers such as Mulberry, Topshop Unique and Burberry. The blogger and vlogger extraordinaire will also be teaming up with ‘The Face’, airing from 30th September on Sky Living HD, for some exclusive beauty tutorials replicating the looks from the show. Now you can see what she gets up to in a typical week with her Grazia diary in pics…
Last week was a busy one for Tanya, who attended a number of events, including the catwalk show for Fearne Cotton’s newest collection for Very, as well as the Topshop Unique and Mulberry Spring / Summer 2014 presentations. She also jetted off to a sunny destination with her fiancé Jim for some ‘Beach time’. This week the vlogger had another set of high profile engagements from the launch of Sky Living HD’s ‘The Face’ with supermodel Naomi Campbell to an event to celebrate Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts’ appointment as the ambassador for clothing label Key Fashion. Plus she set some time aside for a meet-and-greet with her fans, which she described as ‘one of the best days’ of her life.
Tanya told us, “I met Ashley Roberts this week and she was so lovely! The Key Fashion collection of dresses was beautiful too. I loved the gold one Ashley wore to the launch – she looked incredible”. Of her experience of ‘The Face’ she explained, “I was so excited to watch the first episode at the screening. The show is so gripping and funny too! I loved seeing all the supermodels interacting and competing and I’m so proud to be involved with such a fashion forward exciting new TV show. My first exclusive tutorial for the face goes live today on the Sky Living website – so stay tuned!” She added, ” I also had my meet up yesterday afternoon after ‘The Face’ launch, which was such a great success! Benefit hosted it for me and 400 people came to their new Carnaby Street store to say hello. I had the best time meeting lots of my fans. I love them so much!”
Phew! If that wasn’t enough excitement, another photo from the beauty expert’s diary also caught our eye this week – a snap of blogger Kate Snooks wearing a white t-shirt with Tanya’s name and face on. Tanya tells us, “Lots of my viewers have been requesting that I bring out official merchandise for a while now so I thought I would do a cute t-shirt with my face on. I’m sure my viewers will just use it as a PJ top, but I’m so happy with how it turned out! I’m also going to be bringing out a few other designs with positive and uplifting quotes on as so many of my viewers tell me that my positive attitude helps them stay positive in life. They’ll be available for purchase in November.”

Carey Mulligan Goes Back To Her Brunette Roots As She Unveils Darker Hairstyle At New York Film Festival
Posted on May 26, 2014 at 7:39 am
Before and after: Carey’s blonde locks earlier in April this year and her natural darker colour unveiled on Saturday night (Getty)
Who said anything about blondes having more fun Clearly ready to mix things up in the hair department, Carey Mulligan stepped out on the red carpet on Saturday night at the premiere of her new flick Inside Llewyn Davis sporting a gorgeous head of glossy brunette locks. Way to go Carey- we think you look absolutely stunning! Whilst the 28-year-old actress has been rocking a shorter, blonder ‘do over the past few months, we were thrilled to see the new Mrs Mumford embracing her natural, darker hair colour, which is bang on-trend for autumn, we’ll have you know.
Looking every inch the sophisticated starlet in an embroidered Alexander McQueen cut-away dress, we also think Carey’s new head of locks really shows off her gorgeously gamine features, and doesn’t the darker hue really make her eyebrows pop! Teamed with a flawless milky complexion, a slick of pale pink across the lips and luscious lashes, we think Carey’s beauty look totally stole the show. Although we loved Carey’s Great Gatsby-esque, blonde look, we can’t help but feel this new style is a little more elegant and sultry for the imminent autumn/winter season. Good work, Carey!
Carey stars in the upcoming Coen brothers film which centres on a week in the life of young singer Llewyn Davis and his experiences in the Greenwich folk scene in 1961. The best bit Well, apart from Carey’s glossy brunette locks, of course, but Grazia beauty fave Justin Timberlake also stars in the flick, so you now have every excuse to check it out come December.
