When I look for practical cosmetics – I have to admit LUSH is not always my first port of call. The intoxicating and delicious smell that oozes out of LUSH stores places the brand in my mind somewhere in between the realms of florist and grocery. So when I go out looking for skincare essentials for my make-up artist kit it is not normally my first port of call.

L’Oréal has always been partial to a bit of market research, one of the things that I love about them, and at their latest Volume Million Mascara launch I was informed that women in the UK have very specific mascara needs and wants. In fact so specific that L’Oréal, the global organisation, has decided to create a mascara just for us, the British!
