TWO OF THE TOP DARK SPOT REMOVERS...

Jessica Cosmetics available at Gerard International have a great hand cream called simply 'Enlighten Brightening Hand Creme' which is the solution to ageing hands.It is proven to improve skin radiance and refine skin texture, even and brighten skin tone, and reduce age and sun spots with natural skin lightening plant extracts.  £19.95

Bourjois makes another Dark Spot Remover for your face called '123 Perfect CCME Cream'. A trio of ultra fine colour-correcting pigments which works to disguise redness, dark spots and fatigue for an 'airbrushed' finish. £9.99

ANOTHER TIP FOR HEALTHIER HAIR...

A great tip for healthier hair is to avoid washing it in hot water as this dries hair out. Instead wash in lukewarm water and blast with cold water at the end to help seal the cuticles for better shine.

THE FIVE STAR TREATMENT FOR YOUR CUTICLES...

It's that time of year when your nails start to feel dull, and fragile and brittle. But have no fear as Sally Hanson has a 'Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Oil', which acts like a mega-moisturizing dose of TLC to thirsty skin and bring dry, brittle nails back to life in seconds.

Drop on and massage in every night, this reviving elixir contains Vitamin E, wheatgerm, apricot kernel, aloe and panthenol to soften cuticles and condition nails so they never feel the need to break again.

#VINTAGE BEAUTY ADS BY MAYBELLINE...

 

 

I just love vintage beauty ads and these two 1960's Maybelline Adverts are brilliant. 

 

The first one is for the  'New Automatic Magic Mascara', which is REALLY waterproof without any sting or smart and separates and curls lashes in a new gentler way. It comes in for colours, velvet black, sable brown, midnight blue and jade green !!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

The next one is for their Ultra brow, which is just like the ones on the market nowadays and comes complete with contour brush in the lovely ivory with golden rose case.

 

Do you have a vintage favourite beauty advert?

BOOK REVIEW - SUPERMODEL TIPS - RUNWAY SECRETS FROM THE WORLD'S TOP MODELS...

Supermodel Tips by Carly Hobbs came out in August but I have only just had chance to read and review this book. Although I'm not a big fan of these type of books the fact that Carly had managed to get so many tips from top models prompted me to buy it.

Just a few of the tips included -
'Twist up your hair after you've washed it and let it dry like that. When you let it down, it will have a gorgeous natural wave' Naomi Campbell

‘After applying your lipstick, blot your lips with your fingers and then pat the remaining colour on your cheeks for an instant glow’ Kate Moss

'Use intensive masks on your tresses and have it trimmed regularly, I also take vitamin supplements to keep my hair healthy from the inside out' Eva Herzigova
It's crammed to the brim with insider tips and tricks on all things in beauty to achieve the best results.

I know we don't like to talk Christmas just yet, but I do think this book would make a great stocking filler for anyone interested in beauty.

HAY FEVER SEASON AND YOUR SKIN...

With hay fever high at the moment, antihistamines are taken by many. Antihistamines can dry out your skin so skip heavy foundation while the allergy season is rife and instead use a tinted moisturizer.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH A SCALP MASSAGE...

A scalp massage is not only extremely relaxing but it can also stimulate the nerves and blood vessels beneath the skin while calming muscle tension around the head. Tension is felt within the head and neck, so scalp massages can be very effective as a stress reducer.

The therapist will use their fingers to rub the base of the scalp beneath the hair, the sides of the head, the forehaed, chin, hairline, neck, shoulders and spine. Some use warm oil to massage into the scap. It is one of the most relaxing massage treatments available.
