Skincare Saturday- LOVE Overnight Repair Serum

Skincare Saturday- 30-30-£30

This month we are running a special offer of 30-30-30 which equates to 30 days of skincare, 30 minutes of treatment all for only £30!!! 

January is a great time to give your skin a  boost after all the excess of the festive period. 

The skin takes 4-6 weeks to repair itself so what you're seeing on your skin reflects what you were doing last month- office parties, family functions and nights out with friends. The rich foods, excess alcohol and often stressful time of year starts to show on the skin. Combine that with the cold weather and your skin will be screaming for attention. So book in for an express facial and take home a month supply of cleanser, exfoliant, eye cream & moisturiser all for only £30. 

Makeup Monday- Red Lips for Spring

The amazing celebrity makeup artist that is Nicola Schuller demoed the new HydraBlur primer by Dermalogica. 

Let's get ready to rumble!!! She is a big fan of MAC and the HydraBlur primer because it locks in hydration for hours. 

Neutral eyes and vibrant lips are the trend on the Catwalk for this Spring. So Nicola did a mini masterclass on how to get the perfect red lip. 

She started with the new Dermalogica HydraBlur primer and then mixed the perfect foundation using a combination of Dermalogica Sheer Tint Light and Dark. Schuller says to 'Apply HydraBlur & mix the residue in with sheer tint. These two will get you through holiday so you can mix the two together as your tan develops.' 

Top tip of the day: Use tissue to aid perfect lip liner application. - Nicola Schuller, celebrity MUA 

The colours and steps to this ruby red lip up by Nicola Schuuler, 'Then blend with a MAC 263 using Ruby Woo red liner followed by Ruby Woo matte lipstick then Dare You on outer corners and Cupid's bow to add definition. Then a Smash box nude pencil around exterior to hold colour in place.'

Feature Friday- The NEW HydraBlur Pre-Launch

Makeup Monday- weekend getaway

We've just had a lovely weekend down in Cornwall visiting family friends in town from New Zealand. Juggling a successful business, young family and a busy household it didn't give me much time to pack. 

I always pack by colour so all my accessories match and I can pack minimal makeup. The MAC travel sets are brilliant for space saving essentials.

I replace the duo brush with a Technakohl eyeliner, pack a concealer and splash proof mascara so that my makeup will be weather proof- rain or shine! The travel packs have two blushers & lipsticks along with enough eyeshadow choice to create several looks day and night. 

Makeup Monday- Wonder Woman

This year for New Years Eve we went to a super heroes and villans fancy dress party. I went as Wonder Woman, my hero & namesake! 

I used the HeShi self tanning gel to add a glow to my body and applied a shimmery body lotion on top to add a subtle scent and healthy glow for the evening. 

To match the costume and theme I chose to do a navy smokey eye with gold glitter and finish the look with a red lip. To achieve this flawless look that lasted over 24 hours, bad for the skincare but excellent for the makeup staying power! 

The products I used were: 

1. Dermalogica HydraBlur to keep my skin hydrated for hours 

2. Dermalogica Skin Perfect Primer to add illuminocity 

3. Dermalogica Sheer Tint Moisturiser in medium to create an even base 

4. MAC mineralize blusher in Petal Power  for a peachy complexion 

5. Then for the eyes I started with the MAC browset in Show-off to comb my eyebrows into shape and add a bit of colour

6. MAC Technakohl Liner in Stirling Silver along the water line of the lower lid to reduce redness and make the eyes look brighter & bigger. 

7. MAC Fluidline in Siahi to line the upper eyelid and outer corner of the lower eye adding definition before blending with pigments to form a smokey eye. 

8. MAC Pigment in Naval Blue to create a shimmery smokey effect on the outer corner of the eye

9. MAC Pigment in Melon to add a gold sheen to the centre eyelid 

10. MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Snow Season to blend the pigment and highlight the brow bone 

11. I then used my finger to dab MAC Glitter Liquid Liner in Glamourgold into the inner corner of my eye and sweep the liquid liner along the lower brow line and along the upper eyeliner and lower outer corner. With the residue I dabbed it along my upper cheek bone to catch the light when I smiled. 

12. To complete the eyes I added MAC Prep+Prime Lash to my curled lashes followed by 2 coats of MAC Zoom Waterfast Lash in Black topped with a third coat of navy. 

13. To complete the eyes I used MAC Mineralize Concealer NW20 applied with 224 brush to subtly highlight the eye & nose. 

14. The look was completed with a generous application of MAC gloss in Russian Red 

Happy New Year 2016!!
