    16th Sep 11
    Fast fading summer, fast fading tan. As soon as I stepped off the aircraft and back into Blighty England I felt my tan was rapidly disappearing. As soon as our skin is no longer exposed to daily sunshine, the melanin production slows and with it our suntan.

  • Self-tanning

    12th Jul 11
    Although the sun has been shining so far this summer, it’s vital to have a tanning back-up with holidays, weddings and long weekends approaching. My first job is to expose the self-tanning myths that have been around for decades. Firstly no self-tan streaks, it’s the way that you apply it.

    The theme this March is long luscious lashes. If like me you’ve marvelled at Cheryl Cole’s long lashes and wondered why every mascara on this planet does not seem to work, then worry no more as she has help.

  • Plans for Spring

    7th Feb 11
    If you’re like me and counting down the days until the spring you may want to start planning ahead for the new season. We will all be updating our wardrobes and losing the layers so why not update our make-up bags and shed a few layers there. Key colours this spring are pastels, think pretty shades of pink and purple from fuchsia and violet to blossom and every shade in between. This season there is something for everyone no matter how much or little make-up you usually wear. If you prefer the...
