Munch Your Way To Perfect Skin
Listen up, ladies! We’ve just got a whole lot closer to our quest for perfect skin. We bumped into Ian Marber, aka The Food Doctor, at Bobbi Brown’s new foundation launch last week (watch out for more on that in the mag) to find out the secret to super-healthy skin. He told us that vitamins and supplements are all very well, but you can actually get the most beneficial nutrients from eating the right food. So he’s worked out the most vitamin-packed menu for boosting skin – just in time, as our skin is looking duller by the day!
Have a sneak peak at his Perfect Day Skin Diet...
- Breakfast: Smoothie consisting of peaches, strawberries, yoghurt and pumpkin seeds.
- Morning snack: Carrots with tomato and avocado.
- Lunch: Pepper and pea omelette.
- Afternoon snack: Sunflower seeds and apricots.
- Dinner: Miso soup followed by grilled salmon with spinach and sweet potato. JH

Love It! Nicole Richie's Stunning New Hair Cut
Wow. How fab is Nicole Richie's new wavy blonde bob? Her new haircut is a drastic change from her long brunette locks and we love it. Nicole posted this photo on her blog yesterday so we'd all get a preview - the paps haven't even had a chance to snap her yet! Nicole wrote, 'Last night we played Clueless. Andy played Cher & Dionne, and I played Tai. 'Aaahh!! Project!'' Stylist Andy Lecompte did the cut and colourist George Papanikolas created the blonde resulting in a new short and sweet style that's set to go cult. We've always preferred Nicole as a bubbly blonde and the new shorter length is super classy. Salons nationwide had better prepare for a weekend of customers wanting a 'Nicole'. -LW

Beauty Tried And Tested: Body Butters
Want to know what the best beauty products are before you buy? Look is here to help... This week our very own Beauty Editor Sophie Beresiner and Look reader Tisha Payne have put body butters to the test...
Beauty Editor: This smelt so natural, I was tempted to eat it! The colour was a bit off-putting but it sank into my skin quickly and my skintone looked much more even. Tisha: This smelt amazing and the scent stayed on my skin all evening. It was easy to rub in and it kept my skin moisturised for ages. Beauty Score 5/5
Beauty Editor: This looked and smelt like lemon sherbet. A tangy skin treat that brightened my skin and gave it a lasting fresh scent. Tisha: I wasn’t so keen on this one because the smell was so strong. It was very thick in consistency and also took a long time to rub into my skin. Beauty Score 2/5
Beauty Editor: Coconut always makes me think of holidays, so this lifted my mood. It didn't spread very far, so apply a little at a time. Tisha: This took a long time to rub in as it was so thick. A long-lasting product that's good for the skin. Beauty Score 3/5
- I Love… Mango & Papaya Nourishing Body Butter £4.50
Beauty Editor: This tropical butter was easy to apply and sank in within minutes. It was particularly good for keeping my knees and elbows moisturised all day. Tisha: This one smelt lovely and was the freshest of the bunch. It left my skin feeling soft but also a little greasy, so you only need to use a bit.Beauty Score: 4/5

Kelly Osbourne Does Granny Chic
Wowsers – get a load of Kelly Osbourne's new hairstyle! She hit the Keeping Up With The Kardashians party with a hairstyle that would make your grandma proud! The former rock chick must have spent some serious time in the salon getting this set and blow dry, but teamed with the biker-girl black leather, we reckon it kind of works – what’s next Kel? Knitting club? JN
