Best Matte Powder - Estee Lauder Double Wear

After searching for a matte powder that gives great coverage without caking as well as a long lasting finish Estee Lauder's 'Double Wear Long Lasting Powder' works wonders!
It creates a soft matte finish, controls excess oil & shine without drying the skin as well as minimising pores. It will set your make-up perfectly & the powder won't change colour either as it wears, plus it stays put - even increasing the wear of cheek colour as well.
Generally for oily to combination skin, it's perfect for keeping a fresh matte look all day without constant shine touch ups!
A little pricey, but it does last well so well worth it (£22.50).

Latest Anti Aging Facial - Electro Acupuncture

The latest in beauty technology is the Electro-Acupuncture Facial which can eliminate fine lines & wrinkles without the aid of botox..
Without the use of needles the non-invasive therapy involves placing gold plated electrodes over certain reflex points on the skin as with acupuncture. A small micro current is then passed through to energise the skin cells to boost the skin's oxygenation & nutrition which boosts collagen production, this also helps to absorb the skin products that are used in the facial. Facials take around 45mins & unlike botox are pain free & relaxing... Prices From £60, 5 to 10 sessions are recommended.
