Topshop has to be one of our fave places ever. Clothes, shoes, cool collaborations, accessories, bags, hell Topshop even do their own sweets (yum)! But the reason we really love the high street hotspot right now is the fact that it’s fast becoming a one-stop shop for all your beauty needs. Ok maybe not all your beauty needs but you get where we’re going with this. We could literally fill our make up bags with these good quality affordable products. Some Topshop bits and bobs that make our wish list include:

Eye shadow Crayon in Satchel £5.00

This multi-tasking product can be used for lining as well as shadowing making these crayons some of the best on offer. Easily blended with a subtle hint of sparkle this soft pencil will really give you an eye-popping look.

Lip Marker in Popsicle  £8.00

As well as a wide range of lipsticks to choose from Topshop now have these handy lip markers. A long lasting lip stain that’s easy to apply, the cute candy coloured pink makes it our fave. Wear it as it comes for a matt look or layer with a gloss for that Hollywood look.

Metallic Nails in Hyperreal £6.00

We are seriously coveting Topshop’s metallic polishes, non more so than this deep gold/bronze. Fast drying and long lasting we reckon after a glossy topcoat it would look fabulous.

Coral Bow Make Up Bag £14.00

What better place to keep our wish list lust haves than in this cute coral bag?

Standing out from the crowd in the party season isn’t always easy. Everyone’s always looking their best, wearing their best and feeling their best so how do you compete? What can you do to give your party look a pop?

Well, here at TheirMag we have it all figured out and it doesn’t involve expensive new outfits or pricey products, oh no. All it takes is a bit of practice and a dash of patience. We’re talking about nail art of course. While everyone else just gives their nails a lick of paint this festive season why don’t you go the extra mile and turn your nails into a masterpiece?

That’s right we said YOU, as there really is no need to go to a salon to achieve professional looking designs.

Models Own have created a handy nail art pen that makes all your artistic endeavours possible. Available in both black and white with a thin brush to create stripes and a precise pen nib to create dots and shapes the world of nail art design is literally your oyster, if you can think of the design then you can do it with this perfect product and for £6 it’s a total steal.

Now I’ve tried and tested these pens, all the pics in this post are of my nails, which I painted and decorated myself. Being the least artistic (and probably the least patient) person on the planet didn’t prevent me from giving it a go and creating some funky (if I do say so myself) designs. Trust me if I can do it, so can you.

The best advice I can give you other than mastering a steady hand is to not be afraid to make mistakes. Just go for it. Its only nail polish so if you mess up, wipe it off and start again. Simples. While it might be slightly more time consuming than just painting your nails it’s guaranteed to give you an extra edge. The amount of comments I’ve received after jazzing up my fingers with this pen has made the added effort worth it, and the looks of surprise when I tell people I did them myself after they expect me to give them the name of a salon is priceless. So go on, give it a try.

However if you’re a busy bee and don’t really have the time for such things then crackle polish is for you. Fast drying with no skill needed Models Own do their own version, as do others such as Barry M, OPI, and Sally Hansen to name a tiny few.

To set your fingers apart from the rest try two toning your nails underneath then painting the crackle polish on top, or why not go for an accent nail where you just paint crackle polish on one finger of each hand? The possibilities are endless.

You can always rely on us to help you stand out from the crowd. And why not? You deserve to.

The best blow-dries this Xmas season…

As us girlies sometimes know beauty routines can be hard work, nothing more so than having to wash and dry your hair. As a matter of fact, sometimes, despite how much we love them, looking after our locks can feel like a bit of a bind. Whatever your hair type or style: long, short, straight or curly and however you choose to dry it you never quite manage to achieve the Cheryl Cole bounce you were aiming for.

So to help jazz up what is usually a boring job we’ve found some stylish hairdryers to brighten up your blow dry.

To kick things off we have the Mark Hill Limited Edition Raw Dryer.

How cool is this dryer? Super fast to help you create a smooth frizz free look and it even comes with its own celebrity style guide. If pink animal print isn’t really your thing Mark Hill has also produced this product in leopard print and zebra print so you practically have a whole hairdryer jungle to choose from!

£29.99 at Boots

Next up is this perfect pink BaByliss 5223U Cord Keeper Hairdryer.

The popping pink colour isn’t the only awesome thing about this product, for easy storage just wind the cord up inside the dryer at the touch of a button, genius!

£24.99 at Boots

We LOVE this bright stripped candy cane Corioliss Couture Professional Turbo Hairdryer for the simple fact it looks good enough to eat (although we wouldn’t advise it to be honest.) There are other reasons too, like its professional sized diffuser for creating show-stopping curls. 

£44.99

If none of these tickle your fancy then what about this sophisticated Nicky Clarke Desired Professional AC Dryer?

This fashionable shiny dryer has a number of speed and heat settings as well as a swivel cord so there is no need to get in a tangle. A worthy choice we think.

£29.99 at Boots

Irish glove designer Paula Rowan is bringing her amazing glove designs over the Irish Sea, anchoring herself at London’s Westfield Shepherds Bush and setting up her very own pop-up shop.

Paula is currently the only designer in Ireland and the UK who specialises solely in luxury gloves and her new Autumn/Winter collection is as glam as ever! And you need look no further for proof of just how glam these gloves are than reading her list of clientele which includes everyone from pop sensation Gwen Stefani to big time film director Martin Scorsese!

Designer Paula said:

 “I have designed my AW 11 Collection to be both stylish and practical, especially considering the cold winters that we have had over the last two years. I wanted to make sure that there was something for everyone in this collection.   I know that things are tough for people at the moment, so what I’m suggesting is that, instead of replacing your last season’s winter coat, why not buy some new gloves to update your look?” 

Our Editor Cleo is a big fan of the black furry ones….hopefully they’ll find their way into her stocking!

CHERYL SHOES US HER DESIGNS! @cherylcole @stylistpick

Who loves Cheryl Cole?

WE DO!  So we have to admit to being super excited about the launch of Miss Cole’s very first capsule shoe collection in collaboration with Stylistpick.com.

Whatever it is you love about Cheryl you can now own a piece of the starlet all for yourself.

The exclusive, high quality collection provides you with a shoe-drobe for all occasions with glam killer heels and comfy casual boots.

Cheryl has said of the eight individual designs “I think people were expecting just a handful of high heels made in different ways, but that’s not what I’m about. I wanted each girl to have something she can relate to, whatever she does or however she feels.” She said “We’re all different, we all do different jobs, I really do feel there is something for everyone here.”

If you were going to walk in anyone else’s shoes Cheryl’s are the best ones to strut it out in after she’s appeared on every best-dressed list in every major fashion poll. For her first foray into the world of design a spokesperson for Stylistpick.com has said, “Involved at all stages of the design process, from details like toe shapes and embellishments, to the packaging itself, Cheryl has even created names for each style.”

With luxurious finishes and fabrics our fave pieces include: Funky Munky (£119.85) Your Royal Hotness (£79.90) Glam Slam (£79.90) Byker Groove (£119.85) and Ri Ri (£119.85) The whole range is available now so be sure to check it out and keep your eyes peeled for additional styles being added to the collection in the new year.

We’d love to know which design is your fave and with Cheryl recently admitting in an interview with Grazia Magazine that she owns in the region of 2,000 pairs of shoes, (jealous? Us?) Will you be adding to your collection with a Cheryl Cole Stylistpick design?

@jlsofficial tweeted us earlier with this pic from TheirMag! It’s Aston’s wishlist! 

If you want to see more where that came from head to www.theirmag.com now to buy!!!!

JLSters and Olly fans, this is definitely the party that you will be most wanting to crash at New Year. 

Olly told The Sun that he is planning some kind of getaway with Mr Merrygold, potentially Amsterdam, to bring in the New Year.

With two single lads let loose on Amsterdam, we doubt it will be a civilised sit down dinner affair! Do you hear what I hear? Party!

L’Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Universal Lip Glow

Here at TheirMag us ladies love it when a new, interesting product comes out for us to test, so we have to admit to getting a little excited when we heard about L’Oreal’s new Universal Lip Glow.

You see this is a lipstick that doesn’t really look like your typical lippy. The rather eye catching transparency of the product is down to the combination of two gelling agents and the absence of wax used in the lipstick.

So now we’ve got the science bit out the way we can tell you that the most awesome part of this product is that it is specifically designed to react to the heat and moisture of your lips, which means that the final shade of pink will be unique for everyone.

Having happily purchased this product ourselves we can confirm that it’s non drying to the lips and glides on perfectly. Its nourishing smoothness gives you the feeling of wearing a lip balm rather than a lipstick and its subtle outcome is perfect for day wear.

At £8.99 it may be a little pricey compared to other lippies but for a sum that will hardly break the bank you get bespoke, tailor made colour that is individual to you.

So go on, treat yourself.
