Hey Gorgeous Girls and Guys,
Has the party season started to take it’s toll on you yet? I’m forever trying to find those perfect post-party products that will help me to stop giving away the secret that I danced the whole night away and rolled into bed at 4am! Firstly there’s the bags and the black circles under my eyes, then the dehydrated skin that has that ever so slight grey/green tint to it (depending on how ‘Big’ the night was)!! There’s no need to panic though!

If you’re anything like me keeping up a regular skin routine at the best of times is difficult…who has time for regular exfoliating, cleansing, toning and moisturising after all? But my top tip to help prevent you looking like Frankinstein’s bride the day after is to take your make up the night before…believe me you and your skin will thank you when you wake-up. Keep it simple, quick and fuss-free with a cleansing wipe such as Korres Pomegranate Cleansing Wipes, simply sweep all over your face to remove make-up before crashing into bed.

The day after the night before, follow these three simple steps:

Cleanse: Remove all the nasty pollutants from the night before and rid your skin of any make-up you may have missed with Syence Active Cleansing Gel.

Target: Banish those bags and dark circles with Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash.

Moisturise: Take care of the rest of your face with a fab radiance boosting fluid like Decleor Source D’Eclat Radiance Moisturising Fluid.

And now for the finishing touches…make-up…see Laura’s wonderful Bare Escentuals post for perfecting your look.

Hello Gorgeous Boys & Girls

It’s the party season, and whatever beauty regimes you’ve been painstakingly sticking to throughout the year, now is the time to shine!

Of course if you’ve been naughty, forgotten to put your best product forward and over indulged in late nights and early mornings, and your skin resembles a tree trunk, it’s too late now….tis the season to COVER UP those little indiscretions, be gorgeous and keep mum about how you did it!

Enter stage right ………..

bareMinerals by Bare Escentuals – this was introduced to me my by sister in law after a pre wedding panic about my mottled décolletage and it truly is the MIRACLE CURE. Yes ladies (and gents, there are a few in my family who confess to having had a brush with it) all you have to do is dip the brush and layer the product. There are 3 steps and that’s the trick, the different tones blend to make a natural, yet flawless look. I can see why they’ve called it Bare Escentuals, because it really is the only item of make up that I won’t leave the house without. Once you try it, you’ll probably leave the foundation behind. Whatsmore, if you’re a regular air traveller, this is one part of your make up bag that you don’t have to put in a plastic bag, as there’s no liquid in it whatsoever.

If you’re a newcomer to Bare Escentuals, go for the “get started kit” bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals; it has the whole set for the perfect skin glow. The box includes 4 tubs of powder, all the brushes you need, and even a DVD to explain how to apply for the best results. You won’t regret buying Bare Escentuals…just don’t blame me if you can’t live without it!
