Ouch!

We bet there's a few models at London Fashion Week this week who could use the services of our Foot Pampering Gift Set, in particular this unlucky model who was captured falling over at the Burberry Spring/Summer 2011 show yesterday. Mortifying as it may be to fall over in front of the influential fashion pack, this unlucky model has had her fall from grace uploaded onto YouTube and shown on ITV's Daybreak this morning.

This will make you feel better ...
We're not sure what will sting more ... the embarrasment or her feet? The feet we can certainly help with ... our Intensive Foot Treatment Balm, contains a nourishing medley of ingredients (including Sweet Almond Oil, Vitamin E and Pro Vitamin B5) to help those battered, sore feet leaving them feeling revived and soothed.

Our Walking On Air Gel Pads (included in the Foot Pampering Gift Set) are a must have wardrobe addition for the girl who loves her heels ... they'll also give slippery shoes some much needed grip, so you can avoid any catwalk catastrophes.

Minimal Make Up is all the rage ...

Everyone's doing it! Last weeks blog entry featured Gemma Atherton treading the red carpet without a stitch of make up, and today we bring you the news that Kelly Brook has also dared to bare at New York Fashion week.

Whilst some magazines may now be claiming it's all the rage to ditch the lippy and step out without a scrap of make up on, we can see that Kelly hasn't ditched her cosmetics bag completely. No, that youthful pink flush doesn't come naturally, Kelly has used a subtle pink glowing blush to enhance her complexion like our Blushing Beauty Blush.

For skin that appears smooth and flawless, it's highly likely Kelly started her base with a primer like our Prime Time Face Primer. This helps gives skin a perfectly smooth finish and a healthy glowing complexion just like Kelly's. You can then follow with a foundation to give you added confidence, or dare to wear alone.

Well shaped eyebrows make a real difference to anyone's look and Kelly's eyebrows are impeccably groomed, framing her eyes perfectly. To achieve a similar look try our Brow Stylist . This will help even out eyebrows, fill in any gaps and create the perfect arch.

Finally Kelly's gone for a natural looking lipgloss to finish her minimal look. High shine glossy lips create instant glamour and help lips look fuller. For a similar effect try our Satin Shine Lip Gloss in Creme Brulee.

What do you think of this year's Strictly Come Dancing Contestants?

The wait is over ... the star studded line up for the 2010 series of Strictly Come Dancing was announced today and as always there's some interesting characters in the line up, including Patsy Kensit, Paul Daniels and Anne Widdecombe.

As VIE at home is this year launching a make up collection with Arlene Phillips we were bound to have an interest in the series. Yes, we're a little sad that Arlene's not going to be appearing on the judging panel, but we're quite pleased that she's been spending the extra time working with us to launch a really fab make up collection.

To honour the dancing theme, not only will we be launching the Arlene Phillips Dancing With Colour make up collection. Many of our Jewellery pieces for Autumn/Winter are celebrating dance.


We think star of Corrie, Tina O Brien would look great in our Dancing Queen Necklace








Felicity Kendall would look perfect in the Foxtrot Necklace












And ex-Eastender Kara Tointen would look fab with our Salsa bangle

Would you hit the red carpet bare faced?

Gemma Atherton, star of Quantum of Solace, St Trinians and new release Tamara Drewe did just that last night, turning up with just a hint of barely there make up, perfecting the classic english rose look(which just goes to prove you don't have to be fair skinned and blonde to be the typical english rose.)

Dare to bare? Make sure you've got the foundations right. Prep skin daily with our Superfood Skin Serum, packed full of skin goodies to help skin glow and appear younger. For special occasions start the night with a moisturising face mask like our Moisture Treat Face Mask

For barely there make up choose a light foundation, like our Sheer Perfection Tinted Moisturiser. This will give you just a hint of coverage and helps even out skin tone to give you extra confidence. To recreate Gemma's look pick a blush with bronze, peachy tones like our Bronzed Beauty Blush and apply to the apples of the cheeks. Then for eyes keep it simple with a dark lash defining Mascara like Precision Lash Mascara (we like black/brown for a natural look). Finally try Satin Shine Lip Gloss in Creme Brulee for a glossy, natural look.

Under the bright lights of the paparrazi's glare, we think Gemma looks fab with her barely there look. For the rest of us who don't have to worry about being papped, this could be just the make up look for the party season that's fast approaching.
