G R O O M

Get dolled up with Barbie's new range from M.A.C. and groom your home with Method, the pioneers of planet pampering.

Cult buy of the month
Method cleaning products
www.methodhome.com
Method provides naturally derived, non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning products for the home while maintaining the same high quality of traditional brands. By using natural scents, such as grapefruit and lavender, combined with natural ingredients that absorb rather than degrade, your home can now smell naturally fresh rather than chemically altered. Pack the eucalyptus or pink grapefruit biodegradable cleaning wipes for mucky pups on your next trip.

Kiton

www.kiton.it

Modern connoisseurs will be thrilled to know that Italian luxury goods company Kiton have just launched a new men's fragrance. The powerful and elegant, black bottle, will send a signal that you are one very distinguished and discerning fella. It smells pretty good, too. The new flagship London store opens on Clifford Street, London W1, this month. 

Barbie for M.A.C.
www.maccosmetics.co.uk
It's hard for designers to ensure their chosen muse won't be caught undermining the brand in public, but the latest icon to work with cosmetic giant M.A.C. shouldn't cause too many problems-she's a Barbie doll. With names like Plum Royale and Loves Pink even the most curmudgeonly feminist will find it tough not to indulge in these products.

Straight Up
FOR THOSE OCCASIONS WHEN SLEEK AND SEXY TURNS TO SHOCK AND HORROR, the Straight Up machine is the solution. The saviour of bad hair days has arrived, available in clubs, bars, gyms and shopping centres across Europe. Be it girly scraps or random couplings, a good gossip or a quick game of crossing swords, everyone knows that all the juicy stuff happens in the toilets. Ask George Michael. Ask Ralph Fiennes. Nightclub owners know this instinctively, which is why they make such an effort with their loos, installing everything from lipsticks to lollipops to spice up our trips to the bathroom. The latest innovation to hit the tiles is one that even the grouchiest of the Girls Aloud will love. Beautiful Vending's new hair-straightener vending machine, Straight Up, allows frazzled clubbers to put things right in 90 seconds, for just £1. www.beautifulvending.com
