Restore Your Good Karma!

It's snowy and horrible outside and it's Monday. But here's a treat just for you to pick up on your way home: Good Karma shower Gel & Good Karma Body Spritzer both by Goodworks (True Aromatherapy). Nothing like them to restore a good mood after a manic Monday. The packaging is so lovely and will have you dreaming of Spring in no time. Love it!

Today's Beauty Find: Line Away

Turns out that humidity is no better for makeup than rain is. They both smudge and cause you to have to reapply constantly. But step up 24 hour eyeliner by Colorsport for those of us who are too wimpy to get a tattoo eye liner (for life) this should be the answer to the prayers. It promises colour endurance, a smooth even line because of its specially shaped nib and a water and smudge proof black line. I bought mine from Boots in Canary Wharf for £6.99

Do let me know how you get you on... So line away...

My Next New Buy!

The Independent considered it top on their list and said that it is over-the-counter botox. We're sold and we'll be telling you what we think of it soon. Watch this space. Obagi - £56

What's Hot This Week!

Forget Satin Blue Nail Polish 461 by Chanel. Think Dark Pleasures by Revlon. We love the texture, the stay and the price . It's what I'll be wearing this spring. Hurry up though, it's a limited edition.

The Valentine Countdown

Ok, folks, listen up. We will be counting down to Valentine starting today. Each day up until Feb 14, Whimsy ChiChi will be offering an idea for a gift that you could give to your partners or those you see worthy. I will be checking out what is out there and then posting it with full details. Any suggestions you might have are highly appreciated.

For Him

Attitude, by Giorgio Armani, from £30. Whimsy ChiChi thinks it smells divine. Have him use it on the day and then let the potion do its magic. This one's a real subtle turn-on girls.

For Her:

Fact: This fragrance has never failed Whimsy ChiChi. Ever. Each time I put it on I am bound to have someone ask me what I'm wearing. This is one guy magnet. And boys, if you give it to your girl it just shows how confident and trusting you are. Your lady is bound to fall for you all over again. L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake from £42

Traveling? What To Pack For Your Hair!

Here are some hair products that Whimsy ChiChi swears by and always takes with her on her beach holiday. You don't have to take all of them (it could get pretty heavy) but choose what does it for your hair and trip. Bon Voyage!

1. After Sun Protect Shampoo & After Sun Nourishing Balm both by L'Oreal Solar Sublime.

2. If you're strictly into swimming on your holiday, then you might want to pack this: Kiehl's All-Sport Swimmers Cleansing Rinse for Hair and Body. This product removes chlorine residue from the hair as well as the body. It is also enriched with Glycerin).

2. Leave-in Hair Conditioner (to replenish your locks in between shampoos and to give it time to repair itself from sun exposure). We recommend Kiehl's Leave In Conditioner. It also contains a UV filter.

3. Worried that frizz will spoil your holiday look? Whimsy ChiChi recommends you use 3 minute miracle frizz remedy by Aussie.

4. Beach Creme modeling cream by L'Oreal for that beach look that carries from day to night.

5. Illuminating Shine Spray by Paul Mitchell for that finished hold. This product is ideal for styling with heat irons.

Beauty Find: Cake!

Swap shower gel for Sweet Cheeks Brown Sugar Body Scrub from Cake for extra smooth legs this summer (eliminates in-growns)

Proper Care of Your Blush Brush!

Blushers are a must this season (go for peach) and that's why it's essential to keep your brushes clean or they will transfer bacteria to your face (clean them once a week with a good brush cleaner like Estee Lauder's Makeup Brush Cleaner. Here are some tips the experts recommend:

Clean your brushes with baby wipes. If you don't keep your brushes clean, they'll gather bacteria and transfer it to your skin.

For a sexy look, dab a little shimmery blush on the highest point of your cheekbone nearest your eye.

Using powder blush? Always sweep it in one direction. Going over & over or around and around causes streaks & can hurt your brush.

Cream blush is great for mature skin. It blends easily & therefore looks very natural. For gel or cream blush, dab a dot on the apple of the cheek and two smaller dots up the cheekbone. Blend the dots together up to the hairline.

Dusky pink blush will warm up any tired-looking skin.

Beauty Product of The Week: We Love it!

Matt & Shine Sun Powder Shade by Lancaster

Sculpt and shade your ideal natural-looking glow using a mix of matt and iridescent powder with this ultra-versatile, velvety compact. Nothing will warm up and wake up your complexion faster. It comes in 2 luminous shades 01 & 02.

Whimsy ChiChi loves this and it works well with a fake tan too. Just be sure to blend it in well.

The IT Accessory: YuRoll!

Aficianados include Scarlett Johansson, Kate Moss, Madonna and Kylie, no name a few and they're all into this DIY facial massage jade roller.

Beauty Item of the Week!

With its lush, melt-in texture, AROMESSENCE BAUME DE NUIT YLANG YLANG by Decleor offers all the benefits of a made-to-measure aromatic night-care product: cleanses and purifies the complexion, helps to re-balance the skin, diminishes imperfections and reduces inflammation.

How to Use: At night, warm a little dab of the balm in your cupped hand, then apply in light sweeping strokes.

Our Verdict: We absolutely love it. It smells wonderful and it actually calms the face down. It feels like a spa treatment every night. And you don't need to use a lot of it so the jar lasts a long time.

This is The New 'miracle' serum

THOUSANDS OF SHOPPERS rushed to Boots the Chemist hoping to get their hands on a bottle of youth. Queues of up to two hundred people had already formed when the chain's four main flagship stores opened their doors at 7am, as shoppers rushed to get their hands on a bottle of No7 Protect and Perfect anti-ageing serum.

Just two hours after the London Oxford Street store opened, 750 bottles – at £16.95 each - had been swiped off the shelves and across the country a bottle was sold every eight seconds. By lunchtime the London and Manchester branches had sold out, with Nottingham and Edinburgh out of stock by early afternoon.

Shoppers were limited to one bottle each to guard against eBay trading, but by mid-morning hundreds appeared on the site, selling for up to double the retail cost at £31.50 including postage. It can only be presumed that these eager shoppers are unaware that stocks will be replenished in the four main stores the morning after and nationwide the following week.

Beauty Tip: Your face base for when you wear red lipstick

Christina Aguilera

If you're wearing really dark red lipstick, your base should be fresh, sheer, glowing and above all undetectable. Base should be flawless because red lips will highlight any blemishes. Apply concealer over moisturizer to paint out imperfections, and then lightly powder the T-zone. Having very little base on the skin will prevent the powder looking overdone as it will not have a strong foundation to adhere to. Make sure you only use loose powder, rather than pressed, for the lightest coverage.

Lips This Spring: Everything Goes!

For this look, Exfoliate lips (you can do that by brushing with a toothbrush for 2 minutes), then use lip balm. Soft coloured lip liner to get the shape, then fill in with this dark lipstick.

Lipstick, No7 Stay Perfect Lip Lacquer in Red
