If you are a beauty fanatic, you will be excited to try Bourjois’ three new products: Bourjois Nail Tattoos, Bourjois So Laque Glossy, and  Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara.

This season it’s all about the nails, and for Bourjois it is nude nail art. Seductive nail lacquer shades in nude and bleached pastels and tattoos will help to create a “chic, poetic minimalist nail art”.

Start by applying a coat of the gorgeous SO Laque glossy – one of their most popular collections. Its vinyl finish gives an unexpected jolt to every colour.

Add a pop of art to your polished nails with some nail tattoos for a pure and delicate look. Each tattoo transfer is designed to resemble a piece of creative art. Gracefully applied, they add a touch of modern romantic poetry to the fingertips.

Add to your dramatic nail look with some extreme volume on your lashes. Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara not only increases volume at the roots, but generously delivers the mascara right through to the ends of the finest lashes.

Even better, this high volume mascara is removed in a single step, reliably lasts 16 hours and is available in a waterproof formula with 24 hour hold.

You can’t go wrong when you have the perfect mascara and nail art – it’s time to treat yourself to some new make-up.

Oh no, Barbara, this is a bad idea!

Niall Horan’s stunning ex, model Barbara Palvin, has been seen getting close with troubled singer, Justin Bieber.

The two were spotted on a yacht in Cannes, France recently and things looked like they could be serious between them.

Barbara was first rumoured to be dating Justin back in 2012 but denied the allegations at the time saying they were just good friends.

Eek, we think this girl needs a chat with Selena Gomez and stays with the good boys, like Niall!

Sometimes, it’s the things that take a little bit of effort that make the sweetest gestures!

Has your BFF been there for you every step of a break-up, have you gotten the best pressie ever from your favourite aunt or did all your mates come to your party when you feared nobody would show?

Surprising them with a simple ‘Thank You’ note will probably make their day!

Here are a few tips on how to create the perfect one.

Better late than never
No matter how much time has passed, still send a note. Simply start by apologising that it took you so long.

Keep it simple
Skip cards that are already printed with ‘Thank You’ on the front in favour of a nice design. Select a simple block or script font and look for flat versus fold-over cards. This means there is less room to waffle on a bit, and instead leave a simple, but lovely message.

Don’t mention it
Don’t mention any amount of cash – for example ‘Thanks for the €50, I bought new shoes!’ Thank them for the ‘generous gift’ instead. On top of this, never admit you’ll be returning the gift! And don’t toot your own horn – ‘I’m just the kind of person who appreciates her friends’. A thank-you is about them, not you.

Hard Copy or digital?
Do you need to pen a card, or will an e-thanks do? Ask yourself how memorable you want your gesture to be. An email gets the point across, but something handwritten leaves a lasting impression.

Do the maths
Add up these six elements: Dear So-and-So + Thank You For The Gift Or Action + How You Enjoyed It (or plan to) + Something Nice About The Giver + A Desire to Catch Up Soon + Sign-Off = job done!

If we had to pick two people to be stranded on a desert island with, it would probably be Emma Stone and Colin Firth!

Luckily for us, Woody Allen’s Magic in the Moonlight stars both actors in a ’30s-style comedy-drama where Emma plays a psychic and Colin, the man set out to prove her as a fraud.

We’re loving the ’30s glamour and romance in this movie!

Wow! Vanessa Hudgens is definitely our new gym inspiration after this impressive selfie!

The actress uploaded the selfie to her Instagram account with the caption: “Oh snap hard work paying off #abs #fitnessfreak #healthylife #stayfit #hustlin.”

Vanessa is known to be a big lover of the fitness lifestyle and is often seen attending Reformer Pilates classes.

She has spoken previously about putting on 15 lbs to play the character of Apple in her recent movie, Gimme Shelter. The actress said that following the movie, she worked hard to lose the weight as she “wasn’t comfortable.”

It’s so refreshing to see a celebrity who doesn’t shy away from the hard work they put in to achieve the figure they want – it’s even more motivation for us, ladies!

Things just keep on getting better for Rita Ora, as she revealed today that she is continuing to make a bigger impact in the world of fashion.

Jodie Marsh has been given an apology by online fashion label ASOS after they called her a ‘man’.

The original tweet showed a snap of Jodie competing in a bodybuilding competition in response to a male customer who messaged saying, “Would you mind employing a model who’s built like a man or anyone who actually lifts can buy clothes that fit from you?”

ASOS replied with the picture and said, “This do?”

Taking to her social networking account, the Celebrity Big Brother star fumed, “So @ASOS are saying I look like a man. I am utterly horrified at this comment. Totally unacceptable from such a large company. BULLIES!”

“Check my last RT to see what bullies @ASOS are! Talk about being slapped in the face. This is disgusting and I am horrified. I’m gobsmacked,” she said.

The bosses at ASOS have apologised to Jodie and said their comment was a “genuine mistake”.

“The picture of Jodie Marsh was posted today was a genuine mistake and we’re deeply sorry. We’ve apologised personally to Jodie and made a plan with her to make this right,” they said.

“It is never our intention to hurt, embarrass or upset anyone and promoting positive body-image is something that’s very important to us. Again, we would like to apologise to Jodie and anyone else who was offended by this tweet and we’ll do our best to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again,” they added.

We’d be saying sorry too if we were them! Have you seen her muscles?!

Has their latest tour gone straight to their heads?!

Little Mix are thought to be the good girls of pop but they definitely threw that image out the window after trashing their dancers’ dressing room – and then boasting about it!

The girls launched their UK tour this week in Glasgow and it seems Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock are really getting into the wild pop star lifestyle!

Perrie and Leigh-Anne completely ransacked the room where their dancers hang out, overturning chairs and putting them on the sofas and tables.

The girls then posted snaps of the damage to Instagram, saying, “Casually trashing the dancers dressing room! so naughty!”

The room-trashing comes after 20-year-old Perrie told paparazzi they could ‘kiss her ass!’

“I think we stand for being yourself and being confident,” said.

“[But] it is difficult, no matter how confident you are – if you are caught off-guard by paps at a horrible angle, of course it’s going to upset you. You’re not made of stone.

“At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. Paps can kiss my a*s!”

We’re loving this fierce new attitude!

You are probably constantly hearing the older generation saying something along the lines of “things were a lot better in my day”. They were definitely right on these beauty tips:

Cold cucumbers on the eyes
No doubt you have heard this one before, but have you actually used it? The older generation definitely had the right idea when it came to this one. A cucumber is full of moisture and combined with their coldnesss, they can actually reduce the puffiness around your eye.

Tea bags on the eyes
Just like the cucumbers, tea bags are perfect for reducing puffiness. Simply place a cold tea bag on each eyelid and leave for a couple of minutes.

Vaseline
Seriously that little tub can do so much. Not only does it smooth chapped lips, it also helps to give your eyes a gorgeous shine when you don’t have any eyeshadow to hand.

Baby powder
Before dry shampoo came along, the older generation would have used baby powder to absorb grease and oil from the hair.

Lemons on the lips
Long before plumping glosses were around, ladies would have used lemons to make their lips look redder and more kissable.

Lemon juice in the hair
Lemon juice in the hair is actually still pretty popular to this day. The juice helps the sun to bring out natural highlights giving you a natural set of blonde streaks.
