Fantastic new Starlight Collection from Elemis!
Look out for these gorgeous Elemis Christmas collections of award-winning spa and beauty products. Beautifully presented in shiny boxes, stylish vanity cases and make-up bags, they make perfect gifts for the special people in your life.
Priced from £22 – £195, each collection has been specially selected to offer exceptional quality and value. Choose from top skin care products, bathing elixirs and body washes, top to toe spa treats, men’s products, fragrances, candles and diffusers. Here are some of our particular favourites!
We loved the Bathing Treasures set (£35) – six 100 ml bottles of gorgeous elixirs and body washes for long and indulgent soaks in the bath or short revitalising showers. The set includes such delights as Quiet Mind Relaxing Bath Elixir, Tranquil Touch Creamy Body Wash, Tranquil Touch Indulgent Bath Elixir and Lime and Ginger Hand and Body Wash.
The Fragrance Duos (£45) are another popular choice – two uniquely different fragrances – Elemis Eau de Parfum, a fresh and aromatic scent, ideal for daytime wear, and the exotic Elemis Eau de Parfum Exotic, a heady mix of Arabic cedarwood, jasmine and tuberose. These retail individually for £35 each, so the Duo saving is worth over £25.
Create the evocative ambience of the Elemis Day Spa with the special edition Elemis Day Spa 10th Anniversary Candle. The 40-hour burning candle will fill your home with the heavenly aroma of cinnamon, myrrh, clove, tangerine, frankincense and black pepper.
The Starlight Collection is available from www.timetospa.co.uk, spas, salons, selected Debenhams, John Lewis and Harvey Nichols nationwide.

Travel in style
Top brand Samsonite has developed a new collection of light, soft-side luxury luggage, so you reach your destination looking your best.
Instead of using traditional exterior piping to give the suitcase shape, the X-ion provides tension and structure from the interior (like the poles of a tent), to create a modern suitcase that is strong and light. It also includes a removable garment sleeve, with hanger and foam bars to keep hanging garments clean and wrinkle-free. A great choice for fly-cruise passengers who have to travel light but want to look their best when they arrive on aboard for that first night cocktail party.
The new X’ion range comes with a smart lining and is available in a range of colours. Matching business items are also available. From good department and luggage shops nationwide.

Beauty from Japan
DHC’s Perfect Pro Double Protection Mascara is an exciting new Japanese innovation that gives your lashes a professional and defined finish that stays on until you take it off.
Just a single application wraps each individual lash in tiny water-resistant polymer tubes, creating length and volume. Unlike most other mascaras, the colour is resistant to smudging and won’t running, clump or flake – so no more panda eyes in the morning!
To apply, just brush at the base of the lashes and sweep up to the tip.
And when you want to take off the mascara, you don’t even need to use eye make-up remover. Simply splash your eyes with warm water and the tiny tubes gently slide off the lashes.
Perfect Pro Double Protection costs £13.00.DHC products are available from

Take the two week challenge
Looking to drop a dress size in just two weeks without drastic dieting? New company Zaggora’s sensational Hotpants™ can help you lose weight with their unique bio ceramic technology that uses the body’s own heat to break down fat and toxins that contribute to the appearance of cellulite.
The specially developed Celu-Lite™ technology reflects back the heat naturally generated by the body to promote deeper warming of the tissues and higher levels of perspiration. This burns calories aiding lymphatic drainage and promoting good circulation. Many modern women have sedentary working lives due to spending long periods sitting at their desks. Such inactivity can lead to sluggish circulation in the thigh and tummy area.
The two week challenge involves wearing Hotpants™ for at least 30 minutes everyday for two weeks – the more active you are, the more you sweat and the more calories you burn – so they are great for running, working out in the gym or just doing the housework! You can wear them anytime – indoors, outdoors, on their own or over your sports gear or underwear – they are even comfortable enough to wear in bed at night.
Since launching in the UK earlier this year, Hotpants™ has achieved over 54,000 Facebook fans and dozens of positive reviews from satisfied users who have lost weight and dropped several dress sizes.
Zaggora Hotpants™ are available in four sizes; small, medium, large and extra large and cost £44.99. To buy visit
