Australian brand Inika Cosmetics is now available in the UK. The product line contains a blend of crushed mineral pigments, all of which have been certified vegan. The complete line features 58 skus including products for the face, cheeks, lips and eyes.

Complexion

Miss Sporty's new So Clear range is aimed at teenage skin prone to breakouts. The range comprises of foundation, concealer and pressed powder all designed to absorb oil, control shine and moisturise the skin. Anti-bacterial and dermatalogically tested, each product comes in a choice of shades.
Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation is new from Max Factor. The solid foundation becomes liquid upon application to give even, lightweight coverage and the ultimate matte finish.

Rimmels latest foundation is Renew & Lift with a peptide rich time reverse complex designed to lift and regenerate the skin. Antioxidants protect against environmental aggressors and built in SPF protection prevents UV damage. The mineral containing formula is available in a range of shades.
Lips

New are Ben and Jerry's famous Ice Creams in lip balm form. Choc Chip Cookie Dough, Choc Fudge Brownie and Peanut Butter Cup smell and taste exactly like the real thing and leave lips shiny and moisturised.

Eyes

Revlon's new 3D Extreme Mascara has a "bold impact brush" and plumping formula which is said to make lashes 25x fuller, 70% curvier and lashes 80% longer.

Maybelline's new Define-A-Lash mascara has a lightweight formula and a unique in-built clump remover which prevents clumps getting onto the brush, and in turn transferring to lashes. The flexible brush defines lashes individually.


GTC tested- this mascara really defines lashes and the flexible brush gives a thick clump free coat. This would definitely be a mascara I would buy again.

Color On Press On Eyeshadows provide instantly made-up eyes. The "sticker" is applied to lids, peeled off and eyes are ready for mascara. A variety of colours and designs are available: toned, smoky and zebra!

New Miss Sporty Fabulous Eyes Eyeshadow pencils double as eyeliners and eyeshadows and come in vibrant shades like Bluespark and Chocolate.

Nails

Duo Pens from Nails Supreme make nail art easy. Each pen comes with two contrasting polishes, and each colour has a brush and fine-tip pen for easy application.
