A pop of pink is all you need to feel pretty, flirty and gorgeous – the girly colour is instantly lifting and flattering.

Thankfully, Bobbi Brown has recently launched her limited edition Uber Pinks Collection.

Their illuminating bronzer is ultra-soft and smooth with a blend of sheer powder and subtle pearls that will instantly give your cheeks a light shimmer.

You can even prettify your nails with Pink Cloud or Pink Peony nail polish and don’t forget to ensure your lips are irresistible by dabbing on a pink shine. The Uber Pinks collection includes two new pink lip colours that will leave your lips soft and supple – perfect for kissing with.

The Uber Pinks Collection is available now at Bobbi Brown Studios nationwide and online.

Trains are the perfect way to truly see a country up close and these reasons will show you exactly why we absolutely love travelling this way.

You’re going to want to ditch the plane ticket in favour of a train ticket after reading this.

  1. You don’t need to turn up four hours before it leaves the station – airports, we’re looking at you.
  2. You can bring bottles that contain more than 100mls (oh the joy!) and they don’t need to be squashed into a tiny plastic bag.
  3. You can use your phone so you’re free to Facebook stalk as you please.
  4. If you’re sitting beside a particularly annoying person you can simply up and move – yay!
  5. You can bring your own food and drink.
  6. When you look out of the window you will see more than clouds and a 35,000ft drop….
  7. The train journey can become a holiday in itself.

Inter-railing anyone?

Kelly is probably best known for not wearing clothes but she manages to look incredible with them on also.

We love her retro style and fondness for patterns; she also knows exactly how to dress for her figure and always enhances her best assets (no prizes there).

Her daytime look is always flirty and feminine, while her night-time look is vampy and sexy – we love it all Kelly!

As you know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The way we see it, a good brekkie sets the tone, so if you start your day off well, it will end well.

If you’re appetite isn’t the best when you wake up, get yourself a glass of lemon water – here’s why:

  • A cup of warm lemon water in the morning will help kick-start your digestive process for the day, making it easier for your body to flush out unwanted toxins.
  • The high level of vitamin C in lemons means it helps boost your immune system. If you’re fighting a flu or a cold, some warm lemon water should help keep it at bay.
  • The pectin fibre in lemons helps fight hunger cravings, so drinking warm water on a regular basis can help with weight loss.
  • Among all the health benefits of drinking warm lemon water, it can also raise your spirits. The mood enhancing properties in lemons mean you won’t have to spend your day feeling stressed out and anxious.

Sean Bommer was one happy chappie after he was treated to a peck from the gorgeous Rita Ora.

The teenager and his classmates from St Mungo’s Academy in Glasgow had been invited along to watch Nick Grimshaw’s Radio 1 Breakfast Show which is where he met the 23-year-old.

The R.I.P singer, who is currently going out with Calvin Harris, certainly left an impression on the teen and the Scottish lad was as pleased as punch as he proudly showed off the lipstick mark she left.

He was a bit worried about how his girlfriend would react though. He said: “I am not sure I want to wash my cheek, but my girlfriend will not be too happy about that.”

Sean was there when it was announced that Rita would be one of the headlining acts for Radio 1’s Big Weekend event in May.

Nick said: ‘So excited to announce that we are going to be partying in Glasgow this summer.  There is a rule that the further north you go, the more fun the gig will be so I’m psyched to be in Scotland this year. Big Weekend always has the best line up and kicking things off are Rita and Paolo.”

We may not grasp the importance of the Super Bowl, but from her reaction we’re guessing it’s similar to a GAA final in Croker on sunny day.

Lucy Watson has never been one to mince (sorry) her words and her new campaign for PETA hasn’t changed that!

Condemning her former Made in Chelsea co-star Millie Mackintosh for her love of fur, she says it’s a “shame”as Millie is an “animal lover”.

Lucy posted about her new campaign on her Twitter account and launched the poster today on Chelsea Bridge – good thing she got to wear her clothes this time, brr!

PETA’s associated director Mimi Bekhachi has said that Lucy is a great ambassador for their anti-fur campaign: “She is a great example for other young women and proves that you don’t need to kill animals in order to have a killer look.”

Removing your make-up the right way is more important that you think. If you don’t do it properly, you could end up going to bed with traces of product on your face – the perfect way to invite acne.

Here’s how we take off our make-up after a long day:

  • Use a cotton pad to remove any eye make-up you have on. If you don’t have a gentle eye make-up remover, you could use olive oil or coconut oil.
  • Use a different removal cream for the rest of your make-up and gently wipe it over your face with a new cotton pad.
  • Drape a warm towel over your face to open your pores and make it easier for cleansing.
  • Gently wash your face with your usual cleanser.
  • You might have some eye makeup running at this stage. Use a cotton bud dipped into oil to remove this.
  • Close your pores by splashing cold water over your face.
  • Pat your face dry with a towel.

You must feel pretty good now!

Kellan Lutz has been chatting to Men’s Health about how he got in shape to play Hercules in the upcoming film of the same name.

Using his spare time while filming Twilight to visit the gym and having a dietician when filming Immortals seems to have done the trick for him. He said: “Every hour they’d hand you eight almonds or a plate of spinach”.

Kellan also revealed his secret to staying on track when eating out: “Just ask if they have salmon and avocado and if they would mind throwing together a salad for you. It’s being deliberately ignorant but it works”.

Well Kellan, all we have to say is, whatever you’re doing, never stop. Ever.
