Beyond a bargain (about 53.5% off actually), this dryer has superpowers – 2200W, ionic technology which aids frizz and static control, a pro-style long life motor for serious hairdrying plus the usual features you’d need – three heat settings, two speeds, a nozzle and cold shot for sealing your sleek blowdry.

You’ll have seen many breast cancer fundraising beauty products this month, but I wanted to share this with you as it’s so super cute. Clinique’s Great Lips, Great Cause Key Ring, £15 – three pink shades of my fave Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 lipgloss, complete with a heart-shaped mirror for checking application on the run. Love the dinky size too (why is miniature makeup always so appealing?), and of course the fact that £2 from the sale of each key ring raises money for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Available at Boots and Clinique counters (not online, sorry) Call 870 034 2566 for stockists.
Imagine the soothing delights of a bath infused with to-die-for Aromatherapy Associates bath and shower oil, on a much larger scale – spa sized in fact. Finally, one of the most respected aromatherapy brands has its own home – a just opened boutique and treatment rooms.
Upstairs, sniff and sigh your way around the gorgeous smelling oils and lotions. Look out for the multi-award winning Deep Relax Bath & Shower Oil (£37 for 55ml) – or for zonked out mums, search out Support Equilibrium Bath & Shower Oil (£37 for 55ml) – it’s like an emotional helping hand. BTW, a little goes a long way, especially if, like me you eek out a bottle to make it last as long as possible.
Downstairs, try the classic Essential Rose Facial (£90/60mins), Ultimate Rose Pregnancy Massage (£90/60mins) or Ultimate Rose Post Pregnancy Skin Nourisher (£90/60mins). I had the pregnancy massage, oh, five years ago now, and it was lovely – a good massage (you lay on your side on the bed, so no special cushions or tummy holes here) complimented with the beautiful rose body products. Back then I tried out the treatment for a magazine and was subjected to a treatment room in a gym – you can imagine I looked a little out of place there so I’m pleased to see the relaxed, stylish rooms now available.

I’ve written about and loved the Jemma Kidd Masterclass here –
1 pro makeup artist + 10 women = 10 fantastic new looks.
But book by this Tues August 9 2011 and it’s half price! Instead of £200 for the class it’s £100 – £10 per person. A complete steal. Rustle up your girlfriends – no date needed to book by Tuesday, just organise it before October 31 2011. Perfect timing for a new A/W look.
