TALKING
The first time I ever
used a pair of ghd stylers
was a real beauty light
bulb moment for me.
Now ghd has completely
reworked and rebuilt its
styler to introduce gdh
Eclipse, £195. With an
optimum temperature
of 185°C, plus six heat
sensors so the super-
smooth plates stay
evenly and consistently
heated, it is the Rolls-
Royce of heated hair
straighteners. Visit
ghdhair.com.

Beautifully tressed
Recently, my TV friend Ruth
Langsford persuaded me to try a
new range of bristle brushes that,
she said, had transformed her hair.
And she’s right – they are great. With
lightweight cork handles and traditional
boar hair bristles mixed with heat-
reinforced carbon fibre nylon, they grip
your hair without pulling it and reduce
blow-dry time while fighting frizz.
Try the Bristle Brush Medium Round Brush,
£22, and Paddle Brush, £28; visit

NET GAINS
With its brilliant edit of designer items,
online fashion site Net-a-Porter is my idea
of shopping heaven. And now it also offers
beauty, combining the perfect mix of classic,
cult and must-have buys including products
by Sarah Chapman, Chantecaille, Ilea
Beauty, Aesop, Le Métier de Beauté, 3Lab
and James Read. No wonder Sarah Jessica
Parker, Liberty Ross and Alexa Chung are all
fans. Try Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight
Facial, £45; Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted
Moisturizer SPF15, £57, in six shades; and
Ilia Beauty Tinted Lip Conditioner in Nobody’s
Baby, £20. Visit net-a-porter.com.

Lemon Crush
What better way to herald the
new season than with the scent of
fresh lemons and spring blooms?
My perfume passion for spring is
Lemon by Mary Greenwell, £90.
This opens with a citrussy burst
of juicy lemon, then warms to
bergamot, narcissus and hyacinth
before drying to oak moss and
subtle patchouli. Simply delicious.
