Just Arrived - K By Beverley Knight Cosmetics

K By Beverley Knight is a cosmetic range launched by the soul superstar Beverley Knight. Beverley has always felt there was a gap in the beauty industry for and this range was born from her desire to create a brand to cater to every skin tone and type. She says; 

“Time and time again I would find myself looking for make-up that would work for my skin – everything from bases to eye shadows and lipsticks. The choice was very limited and, like the vast majority of black and dark-skinned women, I found there wasn’t anything that provided the full spectrum of colours I needed. I was so excited to be offered the chance to work on my own range of products, introducing a home-grown brand which caters to all tones of black and Asian skin.”

Holiday Must Haves


We just can't believe it's April already and that means our Holidays are that little bit closer. We asked our Buyers for their must haves to help you get ready for your 2012 holiday.






The Luggage

You start getting in the holiday mood when you start packing your suitcase, so don't just settle for that tired old battered case, treat yourself to a new one.

Sub 0 G

Our range of Sub 0 G have consistently been a best seller for the last 5 years, our luggage Buyer says "With airlines now being so strict on baggage charges avoid costly extras by using Sub 0 G luggage. It is the lightest luggage in the world so now you don't have to choose between those 2 dresses because you can take both". That's good advice that we intend to take, the only decision we need to make now is which colour should we get??


                               

This green floral print is our buyers favourite, she says "You'll be sure to spot your case first coming around the carousel with this funky print".

The Sub 0 G range is not only the lightest luggage (it starts at just 1.85kg) it is has also exceeded the standards for loaded drop tests, handle strength tests and material tear resistance tests AND they have a 10 year guarantee. All of that from just £24.99?? Sounds like a great deal to us.









Constellation

  
This Constellation collection mixes both functionality and classic style and starts at an unbelievable £14.99. They have retractable handles, are expandable for extra space and are available in a range of sizes from 18"-28". Our buyer says "Our customers love this classic design and colour. This range is expandable so perfect for those who like to squeeze a bit extra in and at these prices we expect this range to fly out".


Safety First

We all know the dangers of spending too much time in the sun unprotected but with our range of sun care it has never been easier to get protected. Our beauty buyer says "The sun can have devastating effects on the skin including dark spots and premature ageing and can increase your chances of getting skin cancer. To ensure you are protected it is recommended that you use SPF15 or higher".






Malibu suncare is one of our most popular ranges and our Buyer says "Malibu make suncare products you can trust at prices you can afford. In our range we stock lotions, dry oil spray and tan extender moisturiser all for only £2.99 each. Look out for the aerosol spray coming soon."








Riemann manufactures specialist skincare and defines themselves as creating products that work and this is why our beauty Buyer recommends it. She says "Riemann are the manufacturers of P20 suncare, the original once a day application sun protection. It goes on in the morning and dries in seconds and protects you and your family all day long, even after swimming. Riemann P20 is the brand you can trust and it is available in SPF10 or SPF20".









Just Fake It!!


As all girls know the only real way to have a healthy tan is by faking it. Our beauty Buyer says "Fake Bake is the brand loved by celebrities and now it is at TJ Hughes, starting at only £5.99. We have a range of products available including mistifier spray, tan enhancing lotion, oil free moisturiser, shimmer instant tan, bronzer instant tan, tanning butter, self tan mousse and tanning lotion".
