Okay, so MAC is having a shaky time with bloggers right now, but I’m impressed with their new range, Tartan Tale. It’s really different in terms of looks and concept, and the fact that they’ve incorporated a ‘Tis Noble To Give Viva Glam Lip Bag into the range where every penny of the purchase price, £20, goes directly to the MAC Aids Fund is, of course, great. There is also a cheeky checked teddy bear, £12.50, and a set of Helping Kids Christmas Cards, £5, under the same terms. I love the Eye, Lip & Face Kits, the Brush Sets and the amazing tartan eye shades. These gorgeous innovations have the tartan pattern on top of the compact layed down through a patented flocking process with tiny individual nylon fibres pre-dyed and laid down in the specific patterns. The colour goes all the way though – so there’s no overspraying here – and it’s actually a cosmetic industry first. The whole lot launches in November and it’s all limited edition. Intriguingly, the correct title for the range is Tartan Tale (Chapter 1) implying there is more to come.
I can’t help thinking that Burberry beauty must be kicking themselves for not getting hold of this technology. Would have been perfect.

Jurlique Love Balm

We might have had a last minute heat wave, but everyone knows that a multi-purpose balm is a winter handbag essential – if it isn’t the wind whipping your cheeks into some kinda chapped hell, then it’s your lips succumbing to the central heating/cold weather combination and shrivelling in front of your very eyes.

I love this little balm from Jurlique that smells gently of roses (and not, thank god, vanilla). It’s a limited edition and contains soothing botanicals such as chamomile, calendula, marshmallow, rose gallica, daisy, sweet violet and pansy all grown at Jurlique’s biodynamic farm in South Australia. It’s free of nasties – no SLS, SLES, Parabens, artificial colours etc, and uses a base of natural oils including soybean and avocado. It’s no-fuss but power-packed and is perfect for emergency moisturising just about anywhere on the body. £10 from November.
