HEALTH & BEAUTY NEWS A new text messaging support service to help in a crisis, staying hydrated in style, and a gift idea to say thanks to dad – Crystal Rose on the latest updates in the sector
WORK IT
TAKE A MOMENT
The Stila summer collection has landed and it’s all about enhancing your natural look and empowering you to boss whatever you’re doing. From the 12 Beauty Boss lip glosses to the party-perfect combinations in the two new eye-shadow palettes, the Work It collection is beautiful. We met lead make-up artist Sascha Jackson, discovered the incoming lip gloss craze and picked up a few handy make-up application tips. Not to mention that we took a bit of a liking to the Boss Gloss glosses, especially the Win-Win shade.
In a bid to make mindfulness accessible for everyone, Moment Pebble – creator of a product designed to bring short, mindful moments into busy lives – has recently launched a Kickstarter campaign. Acting as a physical mindfulness enabler, the Moment Pebble is intended to give your mind short, frequent breaks with a 30-second hypnotic glow that aims to draw your focus for just a moment. Combining technology and menta- health awareness, the pebble hopes to be a gamechanger for how we switch off and allow ourselves to pause for a break during the day.

BEAUTY OF BATH Inspired by the beautiful city of Bath, the latest collection from The Somerset Toiletry Company is a combination of vintage and contemporary design influences. Available in three scents: violet jasmine ginger, vanilla baies rouges, and cashmere musk noir, you can expect to find soaps, handwashes, handcreams, bath soaks and reed diffusers. The cashmere musk noir soap has a deeply warming fragrance with hints of mandarin and sandalwood. The ergonomically shaped and embossed soap bar oozes elegance and contains shea butter. All wrapped up in a beautifully illustrated gift box with pops of turquoise, this could make a great present. • Beauty of Bath cashmere musk noir soap, £5.95, The Somerset Toiletry Company; water thesomersettoiletryco.co.uk
STAY HYDRATED The use of reusable, refillable bottles is on the rise (and rightly so) and the latest instalment from stainless steel container makers Chilly’s has landed. In a beautiful collaboration with Emma Bridgewater, three new designs are now available. This bottle will keep those essential hydration levels up and help to save the planet from unnecessary plastic waste. • Anemone design, £25; emmabridgewater.co.uk
SHOUT OUT Shout, the UK’s first free text-service to anyone struggling with mental health has been launched by the Royal Foundation.

The service aims to help people that are experiencing problems, from suicidal thoughts to relationship issues. If you’d like to become a part of this vital support service, head to the website to find out about becoming a volunteer. • giveusashout.org
