This month is all about sizzling hot weather (or so it should be!), with essential make-up tips designed especially for the beach and the sun, managing your summery shorter hairdo like Posh Spice (and Big Brother posh lookalike, Chanelle), and Carol from Big brother is our victim in 'HELP! In need of a Makeover NOW!!!', so let's hope she'll take us up on the offer! Also check out whether your child could be the Tot Idol in 'Hot News', and put some colour in your cheeks with new i-blush, plus competitions and lots more!
Whether you are a Big Brother contestant or just fancy going blonde everyone wants to look like Posh! Here’s how:
Mrs Beckham likes to keep it simple so add a touch of concealor under your eyes and over your cheeks to start. Next use i – shadow eyeshadow in Shimmy-Shimmy to brighten up your eyes and line around the inside of your eyes with i - line in black. Now groom those unruly eyebrows with i – fix eyebrow fixing pencil and finish your eyes with 2 coats of mascara.
Then luminate the tops of your cheekbones with i– shimmer shimmer stick in Sherbet. Finish with i – glow in Ice Pop on the apples of your cheeks as a blush and a slick of i – gloss in Honey pot on your lips for a truly natural looking ‘Posh Spice’ look.

OK, we know Carol isn't exactly intending to win 'Sexiest Big Bro housemate Ever' award, but we'd love to see what the frumpy BB contestant would look like if we got our hands on her for a deluxe make-over! With her frizzy grey and black hair tied back in a scrunchy on top of her head, thick black caterpillar-style eyebrows, dark circles under her eyes and no make-up, Carol is no stunner!
As soon as she gets out of the house, we hope she'll take us up on our free new<id makeover offer, so we can style her to perfection and unleash her true potential... the sooner the better!

We caught up with hair guru extraordinaire and stylist to the stars, Yuki Fung to find out some essential hair tips for managing a shorter 'do like Posh Spice and Chanelle from Big Brother's short and sweet blonde barnets.
Yuki told us that, around the summer time, clients are going for shorter and shorter cuts and are also going blonder. For styling a shorter haircut like Victoria's & Chanelle's, Yuki recommends you shampoo and condition very regularly, as short hair usually needs to be washed more often than longer locks. Use Blonde Glam shampoo and conditioner to brighten the blonde or use UV rescue, which will protect your hair from the sun. Then after the hair has dried naturally, use a heat protector such as Redken's 'Mild Control Satinwear' before straightening the style back into shape with your GHD hair straighteners. Then, finish the look by adding a rough texture to the hair with Redken's Rough Paste.
So why not pick up one of our Professional Hairdressing Experiences and get the 'Posh' look and pick up some handy hits and tips on how to style and maintain your new hair do along the way.
Have you booked your summer holidays yet? Well if you are heading for the sun this month here is my survival guide.
For a start chuck out all those old suntan lotions you have been hanging onto for the last few years. Like all skin care products, these too have a shelf life. Check to see if your bottle of sunscreen is stamped with an expiration date, if it smells funny, feels lumpy or has a bizarre colour, dump it.
Use factor 30!! It doesn’t mean you won’t get a tan, it just means you can stay in the sun longer.
Keep your holiday make up simple, use new<id cosmetics i – bronze in Rio to even out that new sun kissed glow. Fix your eyebrows into place with i – fix eyebrow fixing pencil and plenty of mascara, finish with i – gloss in honey pot, it looks great with a tan!
Send in your holiday snaps in at natalie@newidexperiences.com with you best holiday make-up and include your tips on how you achieve your great beach look and be in with a chance to win new<id cosmetics i - bronze. The lucky winners' look will be published in the next news<id - good luck!
