I’ve just been mooching, mamas, in M&S (as we do!). I got sidetracked from the birthday cards and childrenswear by the lovely new Limited Collection make-up treats.

The nonstopmama verdict? Impressive – great, on-trend colours and at £3.50 for a glossy nail polish (and not even a mini), it’s a must-check out …

Well not quite, maybe, but Bobbi Brown’s DELICIOUS Beach Fragrance (on counters now, and online) really captures that summer beach holiday mood  …

… but without the stick-on sand.

If you like sweet, pretty, fresh and feminine, then – like me – you’ll love this!!
