Fashion: Praise the Lauder!

The alchemists at Estée Lauder are known for their miracle-working serums. And their latest treatment, Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator, promises (as if its name doesn't already tell you everything you need to know) to brighten skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and clear up outbreaks. In other words, it makes you look like one of those healthy, outdoorsy types. And hurrah for that! From £46, esteelauder.co.uk

App watch: Edinburgh Fringe

For those already lost among the myriad acts in Edinburgh, download this app from the Fringe Society and you'll be laughing: it uses your location to tell you which acts are on nearby, checks ticket availability, allows you to buy them through your phone, then gives you directions to the venue. Free for iPhone and Android
