Get beauty advice from Woman editor Jackie Hatton

As part of QVC's new partnership with Woman magazine, we met up for a coffee with their editor Jackie Hatton. 

Here she talks about credit crunch beauty tips, upcoming trends and the person she'd most like to interview... 

How would you describe your own beauty regime?

I've got really dry skin, am 45-years-old and have really hit the 'age wall'. I force myself to drink 8 glasses of water a day - even though I hate water!

I'm now much more careful with my cleanse, tone and moisturising regime, which I was guilty of not doing when I was younger. It's all about finding a routine and sticking to it, you'll see the benefits after 3-4 weeks.

I think sleep is really important too. I know we all lead busy lives, but if you can kick back for a 20-30 minute catnap, you'll feel better for it.

I've got three sons all in their late teens, and I've told them how important it is to moisturise around their eyes. My words must have had an effect because the other day I caught my 18-year-old son in front of the mirror... putting on moisturiser around his eyes!

Guess the presenter...

How did you do on the last self-portrait? Well lets see if you can get this one right... who is this cheeky looking presenter?

Summer tips from Liz Earle's Caroline Archer

Here comes the summer!

Do you find that the summer plays havoc with your skin? Caroline Archer, our Liz Earle expert, has all the answers, whether it’s melting make-up, bumpy skin or cracked heels. Here are her top tips on how to keep your skin looking healthy and beautiful throughout the summer months...

1. Quick cooling spritz
Keep your Instant Boost Skin Tonic Spritzer in the fridge for an intense blast of refreshment. It’s also vital to up your water intake - sipping 6 - 8 glasses of still water every day will make a huge difference to your energy levels and keep skin clear and smooth.
 

Vote for your favourite presenter pet!

Our presenters love their pets, and we're pretty sure you like reading about them too, so we've decided to launch 'Pet of the Week' where we'll feature one presenter pet each week and at the end you get to vote for your favourite!

So this week we're featuring a flame-haired, fashion-conscious pooch who likes nothing better than posing for the camera...

Name: Tyra
Owner: Simon Biagi
Breed: Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever!
Age: 14 years old (but with her Joan Rivers sunglasses who could tell!)
Likes: Hanging out with the girls, shopping, keeping the couch warm and stealing the cat’s food.
Dislikes: Having her nails cut, the kids pestering her when she's sleeping and skateboarders. Oh yeah and having a bath!
Special ability: Singing at the top of her voice at dinner time and tapping the doors when she wants to go out.

When we've featured all of the pets we'll remind you of them all again, and then you can vote for your favourite. So keep an eye out for next week's Pet of the Week!

Celebrating Silver Treasures of India 6th Anniversary

Saturday 25th July sees the sixth anniversary of Silver Treasures of India jewellery on QVC UK. To mark the occasion we've asked our regular guest and designer Debi Nishimura to explain why Jaipur and its jewellery is so special to her...

In 1986 I was travelling around the world when I fell in love with the city of Jaipur, and my husband too! Jaipur has now been my home for 23 years. It's the capital of the desert state of Rajasthan and boasts the most amazing pink buildings - the place seems like heaven.

Jaipur is the perfect place to explore my jewellery designing dreams as it has the most wonderful artisan-crafted jewellery, created by the most skilled craftsmen. I changed my career from architecture to jewellery design, as it had always been a passion of mine, and my creative juices started to flow.

I designed my very first collection, which was a fusion of western and Indian inspirations. I was so excited and wanted to share my pieces with the world - and that's where QVC came in!
