Beauty tips for your wedding day

Be beautiful by spritzing with Institut Esthederm Cellular Water Energising Spray. This will awaken the senses,revitalise skin for radiance. It will also usefully set your make-up to stop it slipping off as the day wears on.

If you are applying your own make-up Japonesque have a lovely range of make-up brushes at Boots.Com. This blusher brush has a lovely long handle making it very easy to apply without overcaking your face, available exclusively at John Lewis.

Exclusive to Harrods from January is an amazing new cream from Clinique. This is multitasking cream with antioxidants, UVA , UVB sunscreens to protect you from sunburn during the photos in the mid day sun. It contains optics to hide imperfections and make wrinkles and fine lines look visibly reduced. It also has shine control and will help balance your skin. This is a huge favourite already in Asia and now available here. My skin loved it and I will use on my wedding day this summer.

From Susan Posnick comes a double sided lip gloss the Colorforever with deep colour at one end and an added lip plumping agent at the other. This will provide colour that will last all day for you.

To ensure you get a good nights sleep the night before try this. I have been using this and it does work! There is a lovely lavender satin eye mask and a cream with lavender and rose essential oils that smell fantastic and lull you off to sleep……..

Indulge your senses on the day with Champneys Thai Spa range smells amazing and will make you feel like the star you are.

I wish you every joy on your wedding day………..

I love Molton Brown, it is a real treat. Gorgeous smelling, lovely colours and beautiful packaging. The shop on the Kings Road is bustling with people buying lovely Christmas Presents. Sure to be a winner is this great gift set.

I have been promising myself a trip to a Champneys Spa in the New Year but just as nice is a spa at home all your friends will love this very pretty luxurious set.

From Rhodes to Heaven is a range of natural products with ingredients such as Juniper berries, Anise extract, beeswax and wild sea fennell. There are gorgeous gift sets or try this lovely cleanser. A great present for your friends.

I like the idea of a collagen stimulating eye cream and am sure your friends will as well. This range is developed by leading cosmetic doctor Darren Mckeown and the products are all used by patients as his skin clinics.

This cream proveds mositure and advanced antioxidant protection to ensure skin is well protected from free radicals. I always use factor 15 or higher in facial creams so the factor 15 is a welcome addition. Creamy, it softens skin without greasiness for a beautiful face on Christmas morning.

Remington I Light : Permanent Hair Removal at Home

by Gabrielle on January 24, 2011

Remington I Light

I was recently sent a sample machine of the new Remington I Light Hair Removal Device. It is extremely rare that a product is superb and very very effective. This is. I have naturally jet black hair so I have hair on my legs and arms which is a pain and expensive to get rid of. It is the first IPL device with multi flashes which means hair removal is quick and easy.

I have been using this for about 5 months now and I am thrilled!! It only takes about 10 minutes and I have big areas with no hair regrowth at all. I noticed this after the 2nd time I used it. I think I have lost approximately 40% of my leg hair after 6 uses. The regrowth is supposed to take up to 3 months but each time I use it more and more of my legs remain totally hair free. The makers claim permanent hair loss or reductions it works!

I am very impressed and the price is the same as one- ONE!! session of laser hair treatment.

Try this for summer. Fab at £349 from Boots, Amazon.
