Themed Thursday – Sweet as sugar

For a quick way to get your sugar fix, without stressing about calories and fat, bring your favourite sweet products into your beauty routine instead.

For a naturally radiant glow, Bourjois new Délice De Soleil Bronzing Powder, is a must. With a deliciously addictive chocolate scent and ultra-fine texture, this bronzing powder enhances all complexions with a naturally sheer result and sun-kissed glow. And it’s good for the skin, with cocoa beans for radiance, and orange blossom extract providing hydration, along with an SPF 15 mineral filter and a non pore-blocking formula.

To create the perfect base for your make-up adventures, try Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation in ‘Caramel’, the brand’s first Gel Foundation, which has no waxes and fillers, and simply provides coverage that looks and feels 100% you.

To add some extra sparkle to your eyes, try MUA Trio Eyeshadow in ‘Chocolate Box’, an affordable way to get involved in the trend.

For the sweetest kisses, go for Max Factor Max Effect Gloss in ‘Chocolate Brownie’ or NYC Expert Last Lip Color in ‘Chocolate Chip’.  Both are non-sticky options, that give lips a subtle sheen and a pop of colour.

To give nails a boost of energy, try Collection Lasting Colour Nail Polish in ‘Fudge Brownie’, an easy to apply option which gives a high gloss, chip resistant finish.

 

Time to get glowing

To prepare skin for warmer days, and slough off the pastiness of winter, treat yourself to an exfoliator that’s gentle yet effective.

A good option is Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream, which polishes rough, dry areas like heels, elbows, knees; and smoothes and refreshes skin, leaving it feeling cool.

Use it in the shower. Simply wet your body, then massage the product all over, especially on rough, dry areas; but please note, it’s not intended for use on face and neck.

Be my baby

Today I bring glad tidings for the wee ones in your life, or for you if your skin is on the sensitive side. Relief and gentle nourishment for delicate skin is available, courtesy of Buriti Baby Body Butter from The Body Shop.

This is their famous Body Butter in a special paediatrician-approved formula, containing Amazonian buriti oil, for baby’s delicate skin. It moisturises and protects against drying, without irritation, leaving skin soft and cared for.

Peaches and dreams

To start the week with a spring in your step and a smile on your face, treat your lips to Revlon ColorBurst™ Lip Butter in ‘Peach Parfait’. 

This provides soft lips and irresistible colour, and instantly nourishes thanks to its hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter formula which boosts lip moisture.

Happy new week, everyone!

Clear your head

If a day was made for chilling out, seeing friends, catching up on bad TV and generally lounging, then Sunday is it!

To clear your mind, and see your hair come alive, indulge in a heady session with Origins Clear Head Mint Shampoo, with zesty mint, and enjoy cleansed, shiny, silky-smooth locks.

Feel your scalp tingle and your head clear, as Origins zesty mint-trio bursts into an exhilarating lather while kindly cleansers clear the way for hair to shine.

Naturally gorgeous

With summer hopefully just around the corner, you’ll want your body to look buffed and polished in readiness for bidding farewell to tights and hello to shorts, skirts and cut-offs.

Help is here, in the form of Ora Naturals Argan Body Scrub Revive, a natural Argan oil-based body scrub that will help you achieve smooth skin without excess effort.

This deeply indulgent body scrub is made with rare organic Argan oil and plant extracts, combined with grapefruit, red mandarin and lemongrass essential oils for a wonderful uplifting citrus aroma.

The pure Argan oil in this natural formula is packed with Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, which naturally moisturises and enhances skin repair. The finest organic essential oil blend gives a wonderfully zesty and citrusy aromatherapeutic treatment, boosting the energy field and immune system, leaving the mind, body and spirit invigorated.

Not only does this exfoliator get rid of dead skin cells and unclog pores, but it also helps improve cellulite. Massage on in circular motions to increase blood flow which can help reduce the appearance of dimples. If you need a deeper scrub, lightly exfoliate while your skin is dry and remember to pay special attention to knees and elbows that need lots of extra care!

Fast Friday – Crystal clear

It’s never too early to start taking care of your skin, which is why leading spa brand Elemis created Freshskin which has been specifically designed for the needs of young skin – although it works well on grown-ups with delicate and sensitive skin too.

As the products in the Freshskin Skin Clear range target problem, oily and blemish prone skin, it will appear brighter and more radiant. 

Every Freshskin product is formulated with naturally active ingredients which have been specially chosen for their ability to help cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise and target skin problems.

For a quick way to stay fresh-faced all day, try the Freshskin Skin Clear
mattifying moisturiser. New to the Freshskin range, this mattifying moisturiser works to control the shine of oily skin.

A real multitasker, this reduces T-zone shine within one hour of application and maintains a matt finish to the skin for up to eight hours. Shea Butter helps promote skin cell renewal, hydrates and protects all day long, whilst reducing redness, inflammation and helps minimise post blemish imperfections.
