This season's perfect skin is all about a matte complexion that still glows. Banish any thoughts of a shiny face and follow the lead on the catwalks for
super flawless skin that's the ideal canvas for some of
this autumn's more dramatic trends. To make it a little easier Lancome have just launched
Colour Ideal Powder, (£24) which is a silky pressed powder with jaw-droppingly natural results.

Some of us
still keep vinyl around, and then some of us just romanticize vinyl. If that's you, then forget your dream of buying a turntable and just hook up a
Vintage Vinyl CD Packaging Kit ($17)!
These are great for making mixes and giving CDs or DVDs as gifts for the holidays and then "wrapping" them as records, or for your own personal stash of compact discs.

In today's installment of Bargain Buys, you'll find an iPod alternative, a flat screen TV, video games, and a very fun geeky home accessory. Let the deals begin!
A lot of you really liked last week's stylish DSLR bag, the
Acme SLR Bowler Camera Bag, but some voiced concern about there needing to be room for lenses as well.
I couldn't agree more, so I found one that accommodates it all and still looks pretty cute: The
Crumpler 4 Million Dollar SLR Bag.
Despite the name, the bag is just $59, and while it's a bit sportier than I prefer, it's still inconspicuous as a camera bag, so it won't point thieves right to your expensive cargo.

At a time of soaring energy bills, sky high mortgage re-payments and general economising, it’s time to invest in products that give genuine value for money. The revolutionary new Eco Dry from
BaByliss (£19) is not only kind to the environment, it’s also good for your pocket too!
The
Eco Dry uses half the energy of a standard 2000W hairdryer, whilst drying your hair just as fast — saving electricity and therefore saving you money on your electricity bill.

Recently I was lucky enough to meet with skincare guru and expert dermatologist Dr Zein Obagi to talk about how to prevent skin ageing. Dr Obagi is often referred to as a maverick and a visionary; with a vast array of experience working with plastic surgeons, doctors and dermatologists he is undoubtedly one of the leading experts in skin health. Dr Obagi is also a charismatic lecturer and teacher, as well as having successfully corrected a wide range of skin conditions for his clients, which range from facial melasma and acne scars to deep wrinkles and unsightly age spots.

It's all about texture, and more texture. Meet my new feathery friends. The hybrid of feather and fluff makes for a fun vintage look.

I just think Rachel is so cute.
Rumors are swirling about her and her beau, and she's toughing them out in
Hurley's Delany Vest ($160), which
also comes in brown. We've been seeing black leather jackets for months so this a refreshing take on the trend.

Having a penchant for geeky accessories doesn't mean you have to let your freak-flag fly for all the world to see. There are discreet ways of doing it, as with these
Mini Lego Earrings ($15).
They're teeny and unobtrusive, and only the most eagle-eyed of admirers will be able to tell they're legos, and when they do, you're sure to get compliments.
