Beauty Assistant Katie Corcoran brings you this week's hottest beauty news...



Glamorous summer nights

Let your eyes do all the talking this summer by wearing nothing on your skin of an evening but your tan and some eye make-up to attract all the attention you need. MAC's new Starflash Collection consists of 12 limited edition rather sexy eye shadows to add some glamour to sun kissed skin. How about the Brazen Beauty or the Smoke and Diamonds or perhaps the Sunset B colour?
The shadows are creamy, luxurious and apply smoothly over the skin for zero creasing. Small enough for your clutch bag but big impact for your looks.

Mac's Starflash Collection eye shadow from £10 out now nationwide and at maccosmetics.co.uk

A timeless classic

Bvlgari's new perfume launches this week and with our own beauty pages full of summer scents and magical fragrances, we couldn't help falling in love with this Jasmin Noir perfume. We are sure it's set to be a new timeless classic. With top notes of pretty gardina petals, Sambac Jasmine, satin almond and woody undertones it's a whirlwind of alluring glamour that has a seriously delicate finish. We just love it for seductive summer nights now and then cooler autumn days tomorrow.

Starting from £40 at House of Fraser
