The Body Shop's Beautifying Oils

Summer sun brings it's own beauty issues - that's if we ever see the sun of course. But if you're heading off on your hols, don't forget to replenish from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

New Summer Perfumes 2012

It may only be heading into May but I think, Nifty readers, you ought to be prepared. In fact, I feel it is my duty to give you the low-down on the latest in summer scents. That way when you hit the high street or airport shops ready to treat yourself, you are completely and wholly armed for your summer perfume shopping experience. Me? I tend to enter these shops a little over excited, spray about a dozen then have no idea which one is which so just go for whichever bottle appeals to me the most.

Model Lily Cole is such a fan of The Body Shop's new limited edition animal friendly makeup range she's put her name to it. Lily's Cruelty-Free Makeup contains no animal products and hasn't been tested on animals so you can stay beautiful and your conscience stay clean, all at brilliant prices.
