Buy it now: All the deets on the latest Chanel Les Beiges additions



Chanel Les Beiges 2015 collection

Embarrassing admission: I never really got bronzer until I tried Chanel’s Les Beiges Healthy Glow a couple of years ago. It’s a good starter bronzer – so finely milled that you really get just the subtlest hint of warmth, but enough to make you look ten times better.

This year, Les Beiges has expanded with more gems to impart a similar tango-free outdoorsy glow. The hero is still the Les Beiges Healthy Glow compact which now comes in two new varieties, both striped to mimic the famous Chanel nautical mariniere top. (more…)



THE DRG STYLE INDEX: MARGARET HOWELL, JOHN SMEDLEY, HILL& FRIENDS, DIOR



Here’s the latest weekly DRG STYLE INDEX ranking, a round-up of the brands currently buzzing on my radar…

1. MARGARET HOWELL PAYS TRIBUTE TO BARBARA HEPWORTH
Margaret Howell for Tate by John Hooper

Every year Mr DRG and I talk about going to St Ives and I’ve still never been. Oh well, this summer St Ives (kind of) comes to us with Tate Britain’s new exhibition, Barbara Hepworth: Sculpture for a Modern World. To accompany it, there’s a lovely Hepworth-inspired capsule collection from Margaret Howell, including a smock, work shirt, dungarees and silk scarves. Buy them here. (more…)



Troi Ollivierre lipsticks are here!



Troi Ollivierre

Thank you Jane from British Beauty Blogger for the scoop on Troi Ollivierre. The J Crew make-up artist brought out his own line of lippies last year, but they’ve been rather elusive in the UK. But now they’re available online. There are six dense matte shades, all named after boys. George, a flame red is calling my name (not that I need any more orange-red lipsticks)…

Jane has all the info here.

What’s the big deal with Zoeva make-up brushes?



best makeup brushes from Zoeva

You can see why bloggers are the beauty industry’s best friends. More than magazines or celebs they have a very subtle knack of making you think you need things you’d never even thought about before. Brushes, for example. I never considered makeup brushes a thing until I started watching beauty vlogs and then suddenly, I felt I needed to know the ins and outs of buffer brushes, contour brushes and those funny flat fan-shaped, um, fan brushes.

Zoeva can testify to the huge growth of brush fetishes. This Germany-based brand launched in 2008 and has built quite an army of loyal followers, thanks to its well-priced tools and focus on customer service. (more…)
