Keeping Up With BeautyandtheDirt latest video

Each week at BATD we take a mo' to look at some of our favourite products that we've been trialling and wearing. Here is last week's...

My daughter (one of my sternest critics) thinks I don't look at the camera enough - so I really will try to do this next time, but it might be a bit hard without looking a bit too intense... We'll see!

New BeautyandthedirtTV video... and a stunning performance from Amy Winehouse

As it's Sunday and I'm off to Broadstairs for the day to celebrate the birthday of my lovely friend Hazel I don't have time to blog...

But I have promised to try to publish every day even if just a small thing - so here was last week's BeautyandtheDirtTV, Keeping Up with BATD where we discuss the latest fave things to come across our beauty lives...

And because I don't want to think of Amy Winehouse in any other way here she is at the top of her game with the Back to Black tour...

I'm not wishing to join in the feeding frenzy here but just to say what a voice, what a songwriter, what a very ill young woman - and once again bi-polar picks off the finest...

Tangle Teezer and the launch of BeautyandtheDirt TV

As we're the sort of team who are constantly sniffing out new products and trends to bring to the ever successful BeautyandtheDirt, a weekly TV update to introduce the team and bring it all to life was long overdue. So Thursday this week saw myself, Editor Krista Madden and Deputy Editor Emma Skipper produce the first episode of Keeping Up With Beauty & the Dirt - think Loose Women when it was informative and watchable, although we like to think it's more akin to The Culture Show (but who are we kidding). Anyway we wanted to prove that you can produce good video content easily yourself without expensive film crews and studio spaces.

Check out our first mini-programme at BeautyandtheDirt - it may not be as high-tech as Harry Potter 3D but you will find it full of new products all tested by the team and not only that but each Friday we will also bring you our take on all the celebrity gossip, looks and secrets and will have a few guests join us too.

My favourite products to land on my desk this week were the latest versions of the Tangle Teezer. If you haven't come across this little beauty yet then you are missing out. I saw them first on Dragon's Den and I have to say have been the saviour of my curly hair which when wet has seen the demise of many a comb and hairbrush. This all plastic brush has two lengths of soft plastic 'bristle' which bend and therefore don't tear the hair but gently get out every single knot and tangle effortlessly. I have had a boring black version in my bathroom for at least two years now so am very happy that there are some exciting colours now added to the range. The bright orange is the latest colour and can we found at Tangle Teezer for £10.20.  Check out the inventor of the Tangle Teezer and how to use it to best effect below...
