Keep Hydrated and Fabulous on the Move - Ark Skincare


Any gal knows travelling can be a hazardous time for our skin. Excessive vehicle fumes, lack of humidity in cabin air followed by air conditioned waiting halls or central heating affects our delicate cells, causing intense dryness. Dannii Minogue is a fan of ARK and we are convinved a little glass vile of this wonder serum must be stowed away in her Louis Vuitton!

At a handy 30ml, the ARK SkinResponse hydrating serum is the ultimate chic travelling accessory. Not only will it fit into your handbag and pass customs in hand luggage, this mineral rich serum will leave skin moisturised, silky soft and positively glowing, ensuring you look every bit the A-lister as you waltz through the terminal.

ARK’s SkinResponse hydrating serum uses a mixture of potent ingredients and concentrated complexes including Algae and Cucumber extracts which provide immediate and highly concentrated nutrient rich hydration. The serum contains a film forming complex of moisturisers, that locks elevated water levels in the skin, plumping it up and protecting it against moisture loss. It actively addresses the moisture balance in skin that is showing signs of dehydration such as dryness, fine lines and dullness.
The serum responds to the needs of your skin immediately and has a lasting effect by targeting these concerns for a 6-8 week treatment period, after which time you can go back to your normal skincare regime. The hydrating serum should be applied sparingly, 2-3 drops, either directly to the skin or mixed with your prescribed moisturiser or masque. Designed to intensify the bioactive treatment of your skin when required.

Ark has an ever-growing celebrity fan base including Dannii Minogue, Nikki Chapman and Katie Melua.

ARK SkinResponse Hydrating Serum is 30ml £36, and available at Ark Centres in Wimbledon, Putney and Fulham, or online at www.arkskincare.com t: 020 7938 1898

Kim Kardashian Tutorial

This is our third Kim Kardashian look and I love this one just as much as the others. Enjoy!!! =) Keep those requests coming!

Color Explosion!!!

Spring 2011 gives us an infuse of color the likes of which we haven't seen in years. Most seen colors on the New York runways of fashion week? Bright blues,  bright chartreuse (is there any other kind?), bright pink, bright reds...Are you seeing a pattern??? 
*BRIGHT* 
Whites, tans and golds were also thrown into the mix whilst incorporating these bright colors. Look at these yummy images below to see how this trend plays out in clothing and makeup. 
Makes me think of Gidget movies from the late 50's early 60's...well maybe not the head piece...
(image from Vogue)
All shades of red are welcome, but look below for SHOCK value!

Shocking blue can be found on all types of accessories.

Hot pink is fantastic and also very daring. If you can't commit to the brightness in a large way try it out on your lips first. My fav?  Girl About Town from MAC.
Chartreuse may be a color I have to lightly tread into. My goal this next month? Find one way I can incorporate this bold color into my wardrobe. I think it DoEs look pretty fantastic with that tan!
 (Sean Cunningham for HB)
Without QUESTION I heart white! I am even changing my whole ROOM to have white bedding, large white flower arrangements around the room and I LOVE me a great white T with jeans!!!!! I absolutely love these flowing frocks of yumminess and want them like yesterday!
Tan.
Oh the warmness and chicness of tan. You just can't go wrong. Well, maybe you can...

And last but not least GOLDS. 
 Who doesn't love to sparkle and shine? Find an excuse to sparkle sometime this month and if you don't have a reason MAKE one! Have a girls night out and have everyone step it up a notch. Sometimes I get tired of reserving my cute little dresses for Sunday and wear them out when everyone is in jeans. THAT'S OKAY! Rock a look and have fun with it. If you're looking for a fab eye color to go with your sparkle, brush on some MAC Motif (looks gold but has a pink pearl shine to it) and out you go!

Glow Wisdom

It's Monday! So here is some insight from Dr. Jessica Wu over at the Glow.
Have you noticed that certain celebs look younger in some photos and older in others? In many cases, a simple change of hair, makeup, and clothing can make a huge difference in how young or old someone looks. Here are some quick tricks that can make you look instantly more youthful:
 Moisturize 
 Younger skin is soft, smooth, and dewy, so moisturize if your skin is dry or flaky. If you have an oily T zone or large pores, just moisturize any dry, flaky patches, typically the cheeks or around the nostrils and the sides of the chin. (click here for a quick fix)
Light makeup 
The more your natural skin texture shows, the more youthful you’ll look, so use a light hand when applying makeup. Too much foundation or powder can settle into fine lines, accentuating wrinkles. Instead, use concealer strategically, only where you need it: on dark circles under the eyes, red patches around the nose, and/or any sun-damage spots. For the rest, use light liquid foundation or powder. Play up your eyes or lips, but not both. A smoky eye + a nude lip = sexy. A smoky eye + a red lip + loads of blush = painted lady.
Natural hair
Work with your hair’s natural texture and body. Stick-straight hair can look severe. On the other hand, stiff, teased hair can make you look like an extra from Mad Men. We love Joan, but she and everyone else back then appears older, thanks to their sprayed-to-death bouffant hair. Don’t be afraid to loosen up your hairstyle. You can look carefree and pretty but still well groomed.
*BEAUTY BONUS from DR. JESSICA WU*
Stylish & Sustainable
I packed Cove rGirl's NatureLuxe Gloss Balm for a ski trip recently and used it all weekend. It comes in a slim tube and moisturizes like lip balm (it contains castor seed oil, shea butter, and mango seed butter) while also giving you just a hint of sheer color, so you don't look overly made up when you're doing sports or working out at the gym.

M.I.A.

So sweet Jenni was kind enough to inform me that I have been M.I.A. for quite some time and that I left you lovely ladies hanging without results of some products I had been testing. So...
First: Let me just say... I apologize for leaving you hanging on the results of the tested products.
Second: I am totally going to give you my good excuses for being gone so long:

1: I was traveling around working for Lancome, doing makeovers and training counter ladies.
2: I'm pregnant, and therefore getting huge and tired, and still chasing after my two little nuggets who are 2 and 4.
3: Every time I watched a video I made, I cringed and felt incredibly stupid (I.E. "Ugh... why did I make a video when I looked so bad?" "Why do I do that weird thing with my mouth when I'm nervous?" "I sound like a man.").
Third: I hope those were good enough excuses, and I hope you forgive me.
Fourth: Here is my long forgotten review on.....
THE OSMOTICS HAIR CARE LINE!!
*Excuse the makeup in this picture. I was tired, swollen, & just not in the mood to do any. Just try to focus on the hair. :) *

So.... I LOVE IT!! I really feel like the Osmotics hair care line really has given my hair more volume, more thickness, and has made it healthier, softer, and shinier.
The shampoo really cleansed my hair and the great thing about it is that it does not contain sodium lauryl sulfates which dry and irritate the scalp.
The conditioner really makes the hair soft and manageable but does not contain heavy oils or waxes that leave the hair limp and dull.
The serum is the nice little cherry on the top, that really gives your hair A+ results!
Basically, for those wanting to help their lack luster fine locks.... these are a great buy!!
As I said in the video ages ago....
You can purchase these products at either your local Dillards (if they carry it), or online at www.dillards.com.
The Shampoo is $24.00, the Conditioner is $26.00, and the Serum is $69.00.
You can also purchase them straight from the company online at www.osmotics.com. Right now they are having a Stock up Sale and if you Buy 3, you get 1 free.
Anyway, that's the review, sorry I neglected you ladies for so long. Have a great day, and great hair to all!!!

To complement your eyes and complete the look, achieve a fresh complexion, powdered lips and rock ‘n’ roll nails.

CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS - LIMITED EDITION HEAVEN AND HELL ’GRAFFITI’ SOAP


“I first discovered this natural, beautifully packaged liquid soap in France. The French take their products seriously and not just any soap gets the denomination as it must be made up mostly of natural oils in order to be truly Marseillaise." Gwyneth Paltrow

Compagnie de Provence Graffiti Liquid Marseille Soap £16.50

Keep it clean for 2011 with Compagnie de Provence’s limited edition Heaven and Hell ‘Graffiti’ soaps, representing the urban face of France’s most legendary region. This year, the Marseille- based soap and skincare brand invited graffiti artist iLK™ to ‘tag’ its classic glass bottles in homage to the wall art flowering across the Provençal capital, where hip hop and graffiti culture
reign supreme. France’s Banksy, iLK™’s work has also featured on collections by Lacoste and Nike.

Inspired by Marseille’s reputation as a city of contrasts, the ‘Heaven’ and ‘Hell’ graffiti-illustrated bottles symbolise the city’s two extremes: the chaotic buzz of the working port versus the purity and tranquillity of the Mediterranean sea. The limited edition bottles contain a specially fragranced liquid Marseille soap (Savon de Marseille) combining the sparkling sharpness of citrus fruits with vibrant woody notes and green top notes. Each 500ml pump action glass bottle is presented in a beautifully illustrated gift box.

A cult staple in French kitchens and bathrooms for over twenty years, Compagnie de Provence singlehandedly revitalized the ancient Marseille soap industry, transforming the iconic cube into the first ever liquid soap, which is still made in cauldrons according to centuries-old tradition.

Monday Glow Tips: A Healthy, Glowing Complexion

As you age, your skin becomes thinner and can begin to look tired. Environmental damage also can take the glow out of your complexion and leave you with dull skin. If you find yourself yearning for the dewiness of younger skin, there are ways to help restore the glow to your complexion.
get skin that glows
Bad Habits Lead to Dull Skin
Your skin begins to age as early as your twenties. Skin starts to lose its elastic qualities and dead cells do not slough off as quickly, leaving you with dull, dry skin that has lost its glow. In addition to normal aging and your own genetics, factors that can cause your skin to appear dull include:
  • Sun exposure. Over time, too much sun exposure can damage your skin, causing it to appear rough, leathery, and blotchy. Sun exposure is more likely to lead to dull skin if you have a fair complexion.
  • Cigarette smoking. If you smoke cigarettes, the normal age-related changes in your skin happen even faster. People who smoke are more likely to develop a yellowish tint to their skin, and their skin often appears more leathery than that of nonsmokers.
  • Low humidity. If you’re exposed to low humidity year-round because of overheating in winter and air-conditioning in summer, your skin can be left feeling dry and itchy.
  • Stress. Being under stress can cause your skin to become drier and dull looking.
  • Product overuse. Using skin care products that dry your skin, which may include soaps, antiperspirants, and fragrances, can leave your skin looking lifeless.
How to Banish Dull Skin
There are many ways you can help achieve the appearance of younger skin, but the best way to avoid dullness is to prevent it. Follow these steps to prevent a drab complexion or regain your glow:
  • Apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or greater every day, even if it’s not particularly sunny; another option is to use a daily moisturizer with SPF 15.
  • Avoid sunbathing and using indoor tanning beds.
  • Keep out of direct sunlight between 10am and 4pm, when the sun's rays are the most intense — wear a stylish, wide-brimmed hat if you’re taking a walk during your lunch hour.
  • If you smoke, stop; this can help improve your skin tone no matter how long you’ve been smoking.
  • Use a humidifier in your home and drink water throughout the day to help keep your skin hydrated.
  • Use mild facial cleansers instead of harsh soaps (or any soap you might use on the rest of your body) when you bathe.
  • Switch from water-based makeup and powder formulas to creams, especially for foundation and blusher.
  • Take lukewarm, rather than hot, baths and showers — and fewer of them — to avoid drying out your skin.
Techniques to Rejuvenate Your Complexion:

You can take more serious action to help restore the glow of younger skin by:
  • Moisturizing. Use more targeted creams and moisturizers to give your skin back its younger look. Try over-the-counter products with alpha hydroxy acids or see a dermatologist for a prescription for Renova (or Retin-A if your skin is oily) to encourage cell turnover, brighten your complexion, and make it appear fresher.
  • Talking to your doctor. Sometimes dry skin can be a symptom of an underlying health problem. Treating a health condition such as diabetes or kidney disease can sometimes help combat dull skin.
  • Consulting a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. If a change in skin care products isn’t making enough impact, consider a medical approach to regaining the look of younger skin. Treatments include:
    • Chemical peel to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, helping to restore the skin’s glow and a more youthful appearance
    • Dermabrasion, a procedure to remove layers of dead skin and stimulate the deeper layer of skin (dermis) to rejuvenate, which will diminish the appearance of fine wrinkles
    • Laser resurfacing, a more aggressive procedure that uniformly removes a certain thickness of skin and exposes newer, fresher looking skin
If you’re concerned about dull skin, consider all the options for helping restore your glow. Often, a few changes in your skin care routine can leave you with a fresher, younger-looking appearance.

together. Activated with an electrolyte buffer, when the enzyme reaches the higher
pH of living cells, the exfoliating activity is shut off, resulting in a gentle, non-irritating
peel.

Red Seaweed Extract and Glycerin

Long Lashes...Minus the Liner

Liquid eyeliner looks great but if you want your lashes to go on for miles nix the liner. Here we talk about how to do that with false lashes since you still need to hide the band.

We Love - Cosmetics A La Carte Brow Ink!


I have been trying out this fabulous eyebrow ink over the last week & have been super-impressed with the results to say the least, it will definitely be a permanent feature in my make-up box!!
People always say that the eyes are the window to our souls, well the picture frame is pretty important to that as well (meaning our eyebrows of course!). The shape as well as over all finish to your brows can completely transform your over all look, many people find their brows need 'filled' due to over waxing & plucking throughout the years. Some of the over all shape can be a little sparse in areas, also generally thickening & shading will give extra definition anyway which is great for all of us.

Brow Ink will enhance and shape any eyebrow style, giving you fantastic brow definition, also the ink is semi-permanent which removes easily with cleanser. It has an easy to use flexible fibre tip head that gives great control so that you can achieve your look in a few mere moments!
It comes in three true to life neutral shades Blonde, Taupe and Sable, Brow Ink can also double up as a natural eyeliner or semi-permanent body art (great idea for some smudge proof eye make-up!).
