The singer hit the headlines again this week dying her trademark peroxide blonde locks bright blue, tweeting a photo of herself to show-off her new hue.

And if it’s something you fancy trying for yourself but are scared of the commitment, why not give yourself an instant hair makeover with Colour Xtreme Hair Art Spray in Blue?

One of a number of colours available in Colour Xtreme’s Hair Art Spray collection, it’s perfect for trying that on-trend bright colour look without committing to permanent colour.

You can apply it in seconds and if you don’t like it, wash your hair as usual and it’s gone –what could be better?

It contains a high pigment to deliver a high impact look – simply hold the can 16cms away from your hair and spray onto the area you want to colour.

To remove, just wash your hair as normal with shampoo and warm water.

Colour Xtreme Hair Art Spray costs £2.99 and is available at Boots, Asda and other retailers.

It is currently available exclusive to Boots but will be hitting shelves nationwide in June, and it’s possible that it could be the biggest hit of the year.

And that’s because it’s one of those colognes that you can’t help but like.

It was developed by renowned Spanish perfumer Alberto Morillas, the man behind classics like Bvlgari Man and CK One and is a combination of Zegna Bergamot, vetivert and Cedarwood shot with Violette Captive.

The result is a bright, fresh citrus burst which dries to a strong masculine fragrance.

It’s the sort of smell which you really do associate with this time of year, it seems to have that simple fresh easiness which means you can wear it anywhere, anytime.

I’ve been trialling Uomo for a few weeks now and have been pretty impressed with it.

I’ve had a few people ask me what it was – all of them being female – so it’s clearly a hit with the ladies.

Uomo by Ermenegildo Zegna EDT  is currently available exclusively at Boots with prices starting at £45/50ml.

Not just your average nail polish, A Different Nail Enamel is a new innovation which has been formulated to minimise skin sensitivity.

It has been created to minimise unwanted reactions to the nails, skin and eyes mainly caused by rubbing or touching your eyes while wearing nail enamel.

The result is a fab new product which gives high shine and easy, streak free application. Clinique says it can remain glossy and chip-free for around seven days when used in tandem with A Different Nail Enamel Base and Top Coat for Sensitive Skins.

It is available in 12 permanent and nine limited edition shades, including some of Clinique’s most iconic hues as well as seasonal, trendsetting colours.

Beauty and the North East have been trying out A Different Nail Enamel and has certainly been pretty impressed.

The favourite shade at the moment is Summer in the City, one of the limited edition colours which is like a darkish bubble gum pink with a coral hue.

It goes on extremely well, thanks to its creamy texture and flat brush. Even one coat dries to an almost perfect finish, but with two coats it looks perfect.

It dries very quickly to a high shine, and I used it with my usual topcoat and managed around three and a half days before it began to chip.

It’s a great little nail polish. While I don’t have a problem with sensitive skin, I would certainly buy it again because of its ease of application and its professional finish.

A Different Nail Enamel is available online now at  and cost £12 each. They will be available at Clinique counters nationwide from Friday, May 31 2013.
