Copper is a mineral that occurs naturally in many foods, including
vegetables, legumes, nuts, grains, and fruits, as well as

If you're a regular reader of BBB, you'll know that I'm a smitten
fan of Bobbi glosses - I'm almost embarrassed by how many I have
and can barely pass a Bobbi counter without buying one. My picks of
the Bobbi Brown autumn/winter 2010 are what I feel to be the
stand-outs; the ones that aren't the usual nude/neutrals, and my
absolute favourite is the Lip Gloss (I know, so predictable!) in
Red. If you normally shy away from reds like I do, you'll find that
the pigment in this is high enough to be a true red but not so high
that you feel your lips have a life of their own. It's sheer, super
glossy and intensely flattering. There are two colourways; Red and
Scarlet, but personally, I think Red is the one!Limited Edition

boutiques and Selfridges. Khaki Vert for me, please.
You've probably heard all about The Perfume Diaries event at
Harrods by now. It's a one-off fragrance exhibition that for
fragrance addicts will be a sensorial spectacle. Along with Estee
Lauder solid fragrances dating way back - and some of the rarest
and most highly collectable pieces - the exhibition chronicles the
history of fragrance from the 1800's. It's really a must-see. Along
with the (free) static exhibition on the 4th floor, there are
fragrance events taking place throughout September. While scent
coinnoisseurs will flock to hear some of the most influential
fragrancers speak, the one I'm most interested in is Jade Jagger's
personal appearance. She's redesigned one of Guerlain's most iconic
bottles - Shalimar, giving it a re-interpretation using her well

It's a shame that this gorgeous palette is purely a Sephora
exclusive, but if I was heading to NY anytime soon, the Laura
Mercier stand would be my first port of call. The Bonne Mine
palette does that rarest of things - gives a 'like you, but better'
look that lifts radiance and gives the healthiest of glows. Because
that's quite a tricky number to pull off in reality, the palette
houses instructions on exactly how to use the bronzer, cheek colour
and highlighter. It's kind of perfect really for the post holiday
period...where you want to keep your holiday look of tan,
relaxation and glowy looking skin for just a leeeetle bit longer.
Roughly translated from French, bonne mine means you look very
healthy.
I just heard that this palette is coming to Selfridges as a UK
exclusive...and thank you to the very kind people who offered to
pick one up for me in the US. The palette hits the store in
September and will cost £35.
Maiden PinkSinuous ClaretNebulous TaupeSaffron CopperOk, so this
isn't, in my view, Art Deco's strongest range, but nonetheless I do
like the way that they make sure that every palette is decorative
and something a bit different. This time, the palette is inspired
by Missoni fabrics and the shades are a clever twist of caramels
and purples...you could even conjour up your own 'greige' with a
bit of mixing. The limited edition Beauty Box Quattro is
£12.15.I especially like the nail polishes; Ceramic
Nail Lacquers - so called because they contain fine ceramic
particles for extra shine. They're £9.30 each and the
line up is Sinuous Claret (No. 45), Maiden Pink (No. 54), Saffron
Copper (No. 88) and Nebulous Taupe (No. 102). available at

I'm loving the inspiration behind luxury brand Le Metier de
Beaute's fall collection, Le Cirque. Based on Le Cirque de la Belle
Epoche in late 19th century Paris, the popular and dazzling
entertainment was frequented by artistic luminaries such as Picasso
and Degas. I can't help thinking though that this highly
imaginative collection is just begging for some embellishment
either on the packaging or the make up to match its intentions - no
matter how beautiful the colours, it's a stretch of any imagination
to conjour up fanciful inspirations without a little bit of visual
help. Imagine opening up the Kaleidoscopes to find a visual vintage
circus imprint on each colour. Nicer, no?Kaleidoscope Lip Kit: Les

I always love Mavala for their bite-sized bottles and also their
price point: £3.95, which doesn't induce nearly the
same shopping guilt as £19 for a bottle of Chanel Le
Vernis. This line up is my favourite autumn/winter nail collection
so far - I'm especially crazy about Marron Glace (single pic) which
was specifically created for the Pringle of Scotland A/W catwalk
show. Session manicurist Teresa Smith blended Mavala Velvet and
Minsk nail polishes to create this fashion shade. Marc Jacobs used
similar shades on his catwalk, too.The range launches in September
and the line up is from left to right:Marron Glace, Dark Brown,
Cedar Green, New Dehli, Onyx and Black Cherry.
Anyone who has a blog will be familiar with Trolls. Those nasty,

‘Anonymous’ that

I'm often confused by the fragrance world, and do end up feeling
that maybe I'm one of the few that 'just doesn't get it'. I see
other people's reviews of some perfumes that I've sampled and
wonder how I missed all the nuances of lemon peel, antelope
whispers and rainbow drops, when clearly they were so obvious. So,
I'm truly intrigued at the news that the Sun is to produce a
fragrance called Buzz - which I'm assuming will co-incide with the
launch of their new magazine, which probably will have the same
name. But, I'm just wondering how anyone sums up The Sun in a

Some trends emerging in the make-up market, other than the
blatantly obvious ones, will be I think a gradual transition for
the professional ranges into a more open consumer market. If
bloggers have shown the buyers anything, it’s
that so called professional ranges are used by
– gasp – non-professionals!
I’d love to see a counter (yes, Harrods,
Selfridges, Liberty and Harvey Nichols, that’s
you) that deals in professional make up from around the globe. The
other big trend I’m predicting is make up from
the Asian markets coming over to the UK. We’ve
kind of almost sucked America dry (not quite...but near enough) of
the goodies we want, so buyers will be searching further overseas.

Finally! Nail lovers have been waiting for a peek at Andrea
Fulerton's range - it is really very impressive, so here's a view
of some of the polishes modelled by my friend Anna. I'll have
product pics shortly, but wanted to showcase some of them in the
place they're meant to be first! What I really do like about the
entire collection - that includes everything nails, from buffers to
remover, is that it puts the fun back into manicures. There's a
vibe for all things haute in grungy colours and at wince-making
price points that this range is the absolute antidote for. The
range is comprehensive, affordable and exciting - it's taken some
creative steps that premium brands haven't even thought of yet.

Ok, all the new nail collections had got me thinking that maybe I
could blend my own perfect colour. So, I got to it and found it
isn't nearly as easy as I thought it might be, but ended up with a
colour (only enough for one hand though! and I'll never be able to
make it exactly the same again...) that I love. I was aiming for a
blue based beige so I used a base of Revlon Grey Suede and added in
drops of Chanel Blue Satin. This just created a kind of denim grey
so I added in OPI's blue sparkly Absolutely Alice which blinged it
up no end. The result is a blue grey with goldy/blue sparkles - it
shouldn't work but it does. What do you think?
To celebrate the opening of an envelope, uh no, sorry, the
re-opening of the New York SoHo store in Spring St, Peter Phillips

and Strong (purple metal), and the SoHo de Chanel face palette.

I'm having a little 'does not compute' moment and wondering how on
earth I've missed that Nicole by OPI (the more budget friendly OPI
little sister) is in Boots. Not sure how this one passed me by -
for all I know it's been there for years. But, on an internet trawl
for new and exciting beauty things, I found the Nicole by OPI
Gossip Girl collection (USA only presently) - see above - and kinda
liked it a lot. Has anyone else used Nicole? I'd love to know how
it shapes up in comparison to grown-up OPI because at
£6.95 a pot, it's a lot more budget friendly.
If you love a face balm, this will be your trip to skin heaven.
It’s easily one of the best balms
I’ve ever come across; a fluid, light balm that
literally floats over the skin, wiping away every last bit of
grime. In fact, you just want to massage and massage and
massage...which any way you look at it is good! The feel of it is
intensly silky and cloud-soft and it slips around the skin in a way
that heavier balms can't do. It smells lightly floral/herbal and
contains collagen boosting properties, Zinc, Vitamin A and E, Omega
3 and 6, and Prebiotics. Amazingly lovely. £38.50.

Dubai skincare range Shiffa looks, feels and acts hugely premium.
The packaging is beautiful – I loved the way
the inner box opens out to reveal product information, and a duck
egg blue ribbon just adds to the luxury look of the blue and cream
boxes. The oil is gorgeous; easy to apply, it sinks into the skin
without leaving any greasy residue and really does add softness.
The only thing about it is the smell; it smells like a million and
one other oils (citrus/herbal from orange oil, nutmeg, bergamot)
and that feels at odds with everything else about the brand which
in essence is quite different. I’d definitely
gift this range if I wanted to treat a friend to a beautiful and
pampering experience, but I would have loved it to smell of
something less predictable. It uses hazelnut oil fo...
I get sent a lot of products from this range and never really give
them much attention, but this one simple sachet of Dead Sea Salts
is a little mineral packed marvel. It claims to alleviate dry and
flaky skin conditions, improve and soften the skin, relieve aching
joints and relax the body. All I can say is that I have had
terrible back ache and very painful wrists (from typing)...and the
salts really had a good effect. I’ve had plenty
of hot baths that didn’t relieve the symptoms
other than briefly so I can only attribute the fact that my back
felt looser and relaxed and, more importantly, my wrists were pain
free for a period of time for the first time in days to the
addition of the salts. The effects lasted well into the next day
putting the salt bath over and above a regular bath....
Ever since I used M Lab's body cream (saved for special occasions)
I've been a fan of this range - even at the wince-making prices. On
holiday I managed to sun-ravage my hands into some kind of
mock-croc state - weirdly, nowhere else suffered the same fate but
had the same amount of sun. Although I'd half-heartedly used M Lab
Hand Treatment pre-holiday, I thought I'd give it another go to see
if I could rid myself of 80 year old hands. I've been treating the
dryness with a facial oil - more of which I will post about later -
but adding the Hand Treatment over the top literally gave an
overnight result. My hands looked this morning the age they should!
The dryness - okay, lets call it by it's proper name - wrinkles -
has considerably smoothed away. And, I mean considerably. It's

Although the new YSL Rouge Pur lipstick comes in 18 colours, I've
picked out my favourites above for their out and out glamness and
originality. Quite how many will be brave enough to wear white
Rouge Blanc remains to be seen (in fact, I think you can use it to
adjust your choice of red). The range is designed by YSL Creative
Director Stefano Pilati in new-gold coloured cases.The best thing
about this range is that it takes into account three distinct skin
tones - light skin, olive skin and huzzah!! - black skin! About
time, too. Rouge Noir is actually a kind of cola brown - true black
would be just too harsh, and the predicted big seller is red La
Rouge. They launch exclusively at Selfridges on Friday.
£22.
I'll admit straight away that I haven't tried this fragrance yet
but in theory, it sounds like a goodie. If you're a fan of
'florientals' you certainly will want to get a sample as the notes
of black rose, carnal violet (is that an actual violet variety or
just saying that violet is carnal?? the ambiguities of a press
release..) and ylang ylang sound nothing short of delish. It hits
Selfridges counters on 24th September, from £35.

A dog's indiscriminate taste is not always a positive trait. In
fact, it often leads to gastrointestinal infections and consequent
ailments such as diarrhea and vomiting that come from eating
spoiled food. Others develop gastrointestinal diseases such as
inflammatory bowel diseases that are not directly attributed to the
diet, but are influenced by intestinal bacteria. Researchers at the
University of Illinois are making strides in devising dietary
interventions to combat these infections through advanced DNA
pyrosequencing technology. Researchers at the University of

Most weight loss programs try to motivate individuals with warnings
of the long-term health consequences of obesity: increased risk for
cancer, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and asthma. New

longer, even as their tumors continued to grow.
Children at risk for diabetes before they reach puberty also appear
to be at risk for weak bones, researchers report. A study of 140

babies that are more likely to die in infancy, according to new
research. The study, which focused on women living in rural
Bangladesh, provides the first finding of its kind in a non-Western
population. The research indicates that mental health issues are
likely to be a primary contributor to infant mortality and poor
child health, above poverty, malnutrition or low socio-economic
status.

government's National School Lunch Program are more likely to
become overweight, according to new research. Yet children who eat
both the breakfast and lunch sponsored by the federal government
