Aromatherapy spritz

This new Scottish aromatherapy brand has taken our beauty department by storm. Using fresh natural ingredients in their luxurious, ethical and therapeutic range, it's no wonder we have fallen in love. This face spritz was a pleasant surprise; it's not your normal floral fancy that you find in most sprays and this is what is so enjoyable about this range. This misty spray smells like a herb garden, a wild winter's day on the Scottish moors and a woodland forest all rolled into one. It's extremely invigorating and is designed to purify your skin making it great for problem and sensitive skin. Uplift your skin and your senses on those cold dull winter days.

Pssssst...

What do Mel B, the Sugababes, Estelle and Dancing On Ice star Aleysha Dixon all have in common? Marian Newman nails, of course!

They simply loved the quick-drying Black Beth and Gold Leaf colours and easy to use applicators. So there you have it - a celebrity must that is available on the high street... phew!
