Dame Judi's ahead of the rest
Mothering Sunday is the perfect time to buy something special for your mum – or yourself. Stephanie Smith has some ideas.
Treat your mother (or yourself) to a new haircut.
The Dench, a short, textured hairstyle made famous by Dame Judi, has been voted the top inspirational hairstyle for British women over 30.
"The reason it's so popular among older women is that it can be adapted to suit different face shapes," said Robert Eaton, creative director of Russell Eaton hair salon in Barnsley, which has just opened a second branch, on Boar Lane, in Leeds.
The new Russell Eaton Leeds salon, which features a sumptuous Aveda spa in the basement, is on: 0113 246 9162.
Everyone loves Jo Malone.
Check out the Vanilla and Anise selection, the fragrance inspired by the floral landscape of Madagascar, capturing the fleeting moment that the rare vanilla orchid blossoms: only one or two appear in the morning and vanish by late afternoon.
The cologne is 32 for 30ml, the new body crme is 44 and the new candle is 38.
At Jo Malone in the Victoria Quarter, in Leeds, and on 0870 034 2411 or shop online at www.jomalone.co.uk
Diptyque has designed a gorgeous new limited edition candle made from Rooibos and fair-trade Madagascan Vanilla, specifically for RED – a percentage of the profits from the sale of every candle goes to the Global Fund to help towards eliminating HIV and AIDS in Africa.
It costs 38, and is available at Diptyque and Space NK store.
Perfect for taking on a holiday or short break, the Liz Earle Pampering Weekend kit contains daily essentials including Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 30ml and Instant Boost Skin Tonic Spritzer 30m, plus masks and lovely extras. It costs 44.75.
STOP PRESS
The Frontcover Rainbow Eyes Reborn has become a cult product, thanks to a petition supported by Neve Campbell to get it reinstated after its limited-edition run. Now it will be in all larger Boots, but until March 23, you can buy it at the special celebratory half-price of 15.
