Envious of all those girls with their flawless tans that looks like they have just spent the last two weeks on some private yacht in the Caribbean. Well stop being jealous.

If you can’t get it naturally, fake it.

It’s the best tan from a bottle on the market and you know it’s true.

We all have a bottle of Fake Bake somewhere in our bathroom.

When you need a little of that simply cute sun-kissed look or need a bit of colour on those pasty winter white legs Fake Bake is perfect.

But for you pale beauties out there who shy away from any kind of fake tan as it tends to be too dark we have a little secret for you.

Fake Bake is launching its first ‘Fair Collection’. Now you too can get that radiant golden glow without the terrible steaks and the devastating signs of ageing brought about by sun exposure, which is very important for those with porcelain skin.

This new Gradual Tan for Fair Skin line is perfect for anyone who wants a soft and delicate tan that gradually builds up.   

There is a three-step Fake Bake program with Passion Fruit Body Scrub (£12), a delectable exfoliator containing rare botanical and Aloe Vera extracts that leaves the skin soft, smooth and prepped. Then apply the Fake Bake Gradual Tan (£22) all over the body and allow 20mins to dry.  

It couldn’t be any easier!

If it smells as good as the man looks who is going to be in the ad campaigns it’s going to be sensational.

The new face of the new Emporio Armani fragrance Diamonds for Men is not bad at all. I don’t think there are going to be any protests with these ad campaigns. He’s tall, dark and unbelievably handsome.

Any ideas who it might be?

Georgio Armani announced yesterday that Josh Hartnett will be the face of Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men. This new fragrance with be unveiled at the Spring Summer 2009 Men’s Fashion Week in Milan in June.

This is the latest addition to the Emprio Armani realm Diamonds which was launched last year, 2007.

But why Josh Hartnett? (apart from the fact that he is delicious)

‘I have long admired Josh Hartnett, who represents one of the most talent actors of his generation, commented Georgio Armani. ‘Both on and off screen he has a charm and chrisma that is magnetic. His individuaity, allure and nonchalant way of being are all qualities which inspired me in the veerstipb of this new fragrance.’

Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men will be available in stores nationwide from September 2008.
