It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for, the biggie, the beauty and fashion bible that will see you from summer to autumn and be your holy grail for the next six months – the September issue.

Get up close and personal with our cover star and pop icon Katy Perry on page 270, shop the new season trends throughout and flick to page 306 to see our definitive beauty trend report where we’ve tried something completely new – introducing augmented reality, download the app, hover over the mag and see the trend report come to life.

With 390 pages there’s plenty to get stuck in to this month. Here’s what else is in store beauty wise...

Lisa Eldridge gives a make-up master class in how to do this season’s ‘punk’ trend. Visual classes more your thing? You can watch her new video here...

Have you heard we’ve launched our own Beauty Shop? No? Rectify this immediately and get ready to abuse your credit card. You’re going to want everything...

You’ll never eat lunch the same way again (in a good way) after you’ve read Beauty Director, Sophie Beresiner’s ‘Is your lunch break aging you’ feature.

Our new regulars The Beauty Brief and Chatroom are here to stay. Over on Beauty Brief this month’s hot topic is the Shop and on Chatroom you can join us on the beauty desk quite literally. Tweet us on Friday #AskELLEBeauty and you just might see yourself in the December issue.

A new fave of ours - The Beauty index. Tear out the page and keep it on file for reference whenever you want shiny hair. Erm, always then.

We like to treat you, so this month you’ll get a Free Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray worth £7.50. And if you want even more, subscribe for £18 for 12 issues and get a Moroccan Oil set worth £33.85.

Well that’s a wrap, happy reading!
