Quick Switch
I have to admit, sometimes my handbag feels like the tardis, especially when I'm desperately searching for my ringing mobile that has somehow disappeared into a parallel universe in there. This nifty little gadget may just be the solution... it's the Borne Naked Liner. Pop all your bits and pieces into the sectioned compartments and never again will anything be lost. The best part... you can quickly change handbags without having to think about what you may or may not need for the day. Without doubt, this must have been designed by a woman! Perfect for wedding day and honeymoon organisation, especially if switching from handbag to beachbag at a moment's notice.


Before...


After... blissful organisation. Small liner $24.95 and large $29.95 + postage.

Napoleon Perdis Makes A Difference
In Greek mythology Hera was the queen of heaven, an all-powerful goddess who blessed and protected women’s lives. Nowadays, we need a little more tangible help, which is why organisations like Ovarian Cancer Australia qualify as modern-day godsends. Ovarian Cancer Australia’s mission is to raise the profile, education and community awareness of ovarian cancer, and to support ovarian cancer patients through their journey. Every year in Australia around 1500 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and more than 850 will die of the disease.
From October 20, 2008, Napoleon Perdis is teaming up with Ovarian Cancer Australia, donating the net proceeds of every DeVine Goddess Lipstick in Hera (RRP $30) to the charity. So each time you purchase the shimmering pink shade, you’re contributing to an extremely worthy cause. Ovarian Cancer has always been considered a silent killer: About 75% of women diagnosed will be at an advanced stage, where the cancer has spread and is very difficult to treat successfully. When ovarian cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, the outlook is exceedingly good, with as many as 90% of patients being cured. Unfortunately, only about 25% of diagnosis is at an early stage. So make it your new year's resolution to do your bit to help ovarian cancer and make your lips look luscious at the same time!

Following on from the huge success of St Ives Apricot Scrubs a new range of facial masks have been released.

I tried the Mineral Clay Firming Mask and was amazed that it actually did what it said it was going to do! My skin felt firmer and now feels so nice and soft.
The range consists of the Mineral Clay Firming Mask, the Apricot Exfoliating Mask - Invigorating, and the Peel Off Hydroxy Mask - Deep Cleansing. The range is avilable now from all major supermarkets and selected pharmacies www.stives.com.
