Beauty Brand Of The Week: Avène!

Get supermodel skin now!

Who? Born out of the beautiful mountains in the south of France, hi-tech skincare brand Avène is our go-to for banishing problem skin. Their super-powered products harness the goodness of thermal spring water to soothe, calm and moisturise even the most sensitive skins.

Why? The change in season can leave your face dry and patchy. But don’t worry, we’ve found the perfect solution! Start with a spritz of Avène Eau Thermale Thermal Spring Water, £3.15 for 50ml, then blend a couple dots of Avène Hydrance Optimale Light Hydrating Cream, £13.50, over your face. Et voilà! Hello, supermodel skin!

Best Buys? Sick of those dry stubborn bumps on the backs of your arms? Well, Avène Akerat Body Care Cream, £15, will banish the bumps and get your skin in tip-top condition come summer. We're also loving the Avène Soothing Hydrating Serum, £17, which feels water-light but will give your skin a shot of hydration. It's a brilliant base for your make-up.

Better add these babies to shopping list now – your skin will thank you for it!

Bourjois Is 150! Check Out Their Amazing Vintage Adverts

Bourjois vintage little round blusher pots, 2013

Bourjois has been around for 150 years. We know, that means our great-great-great grandma's would of been dusting their cheeks with their signature Liittle Round blusher pots – crikey!

To celebrate, they're launching a new blusher and we're showing you a few of our fave Bourjois ad campaign posters, because let's be honest, who doesn't love a good old-fashioned snap? Especially when it involves one of our fave high street beauty brands...

Bourjois' new vintage-inspired blusher pots are insanely cute and reflect some of the very first designs that were launched in Paris way back when in 1863 by Joseph-Albert Ponsin. How's that for a history lesson?

We couldn't think of a prettier way to update our make-up bags!

Hair Colour Crush: We Love Wella’s Illumina Color

Give your hair colour an upgrade!

Hair colour crushes are a big thing here at Look. There’s nothing worse than perfecting your favourite hairstyle only for it to be let down by a lacklustre dye-job. Well, it’s time to say goodbye to brassy shades, mismatched roots or pesky grey strands, because Wella’s Illumina Color will transform your locks into a stunning shade.

Illumina Color boasts super-sophisticated technology that covers 100% of greys, while reflecting the light for ultra shiny locks – we love it because it also protects hair and gives a boost of silky smoothness.

Wella have just added six new frosty shades to their colour line-up, ranging from cool to ash browns. So what are you waiting for? It’s time for a hair colour upgrade!

Wella Illumina Color is available in selected salons, find your nearest at Wella.com.

Made In Chelsea’s Louise Thompson Perfects Red Carpet Beauty

Made In Chelsea’s Louise Thompson Perfects Red Carpet Beauty!

Made In Chelsea’s Louise Thompson was spotted at the BAFTAs last night and we think she looked uh-mazing! Her wavy dip-dyed hair was slicked to one side with a low side-parting that just oozed chic. Louise teamed her super-hot ’do with brown smoky eyes and pink flushed lips – the perfect combo of sexy yet subtle. You can cheat the look with Look Beauty Triple Hit Eyeshadow Trio in LA Luxe, £7.50. It has three golden brown shades that blend together to create the ultimate soft smoke. Give lips a flush of colour à la Ms Thompson with the Look Beauty Lip Slick in Raspberry Crush, £2.50 – it’ll give your pout a sheen that lasts hours.

It’s no wonder the golden girl had a smile on her face as the whole cast of Made In Chelsea scooped their first ever TV BAFTA last night – congrats MIC!
