Kiss & make-up Girls just love great make-up products and if they come in fun packaging, so much the better. So Clinique’s new Chubby Stick Moisturising Lip Colour Balm, £13.50, is sure to be an immediate favourite when it goes on sale at Fenwick on April 15. Shaped like a big crayon, the product looks fantastic and comes in eight quirky shades, such as Chunky Cherry, Woppin’ Watermelon, Super Strawberry and Whole Lotta Honey. Already a hit with make-up artists looking for the perfect pout, I predict this nourishing new lip product will become a real handbag must-have this season.

Proud exhibitors at this years Chelsea Flower Show For your home

Established in 1953, Chilstone’s long history has enabled us to perfect a reconstituted stone with a superb texture, making it virtually indistinguishable from quarried stone and a perfect for compliment for your home. From wall caps to complete staircases our stone is entirely hand made by craftsmen, giving us the kind of control during the production process which enables us to readily adapt our standard items to your design requirements.

For your garden

Each Chilstone ornament is handmade in reconstituted stone by a special process, developed over our long history to ensure a ďŹ nished texture virtually indistinguishable from natural stone. The colour and texture of the material is midway between Portland and Bath stones, and its composition encourages the spontaneous growth of mosses and lichens, which rapidly gives it the aged quality of the original. This important characteristic ensures that each ornament blends harmoniously with its setting.

For you

Due to the diversity of our production process and skilled craftsmanship Chilstone can now provide a complete bespoke commissioning service. From a small stone statue to a large brass sundial we can design, create and personalise the perfect gift to your exact requirements and needs.
