New No7 Match Made Concealers

Finally the wait is over for finding a concealer that matches your skin tone with the launch of No7 New Match Made Concealers, £7.50.  Through the No7 Match Made Service, women can now find their perfect foundation shade, format, texture and now the equivalent concealer– the perfect combination for achieving a natural and flawless complexion.

Concealer is a beauty essential for 80% of women but only half believe it matches their skin tone.  In response to this, No7 has created a range of concealers that are in line with No7’s palette of skin true shades and supported by the colour matching technology, to ensure women can now find the exact shade of concealer to match their foundation and skin tone.

Whilst a bright lip or pop of blusher will make you feel great, feeling truly gorgeous starts with great looking skin and finding the right foundation and concealer shade is the first step.  

To find your ideal shade of foundation and concealer partner, the No7 Match Made Service involves just two simple steps:

1.       The trained No7 advisor places the unique device on the jaw-line and takes two readings. Using a series of coloured and ultraviolet lights the device assesses the colour values of facial skin and matches them to one of the 17 skin-true foundation shades, available across the range of No7 foundations and now concealers.

2.       A consultation with the No7 advisor then pinpoints exactly what the foundation needs to do in terms of texture, benefits and finish, narrowing the search down to a single product: your dream No7 foundation. This is then complemented with just the right concealer.

Containing vitamin E to care for the skin, allantoin to soothe the skin and its powders will help keep skin shine free all day, rose oil to moisturise, the No7 Match Made Concealers are available in 17 shades to complement each of the foundation colours.  Covering any flaws, blemishes and age spots it will provide coverage for up to 16 hours, achieving long-lasting and a beautifully even skin tone.

allantoin is to soothe the skin and its powders to help keep skin shine free all day.

“Since the launch of the No7 Match Made Service we have helped so many women find their perfect shade and texture of foundation.  From talking to women they said a concealer that matched their skin tone was the number one product they would like added to the service, so we are expecting this to be a huge hit. Having the right shade of foundation and concealer to match your skin tone is the ideal combination for not only achieving an impeccable base but younger looking skin too”. No7 Advisor, Jay Hickson, from Manchester

To achieve the perfect flawless complexion a foundation will even out your skin tone and cover minor blemishes, but it’s the addition of a concealer used on targeted areas that will help create a fabulous and naturally looking base.  No7 Advisor, Jay Hickson, from Manchester explains the best application techniques to achieve optimum results with the new concealers: 

1.       For extra coverage start by applying concealer before foundation.  For particular problem areas you can then apply concealer again after foundation.  If this is the case, for best results it is important to use a patting motion to avoid disturbing the concealer or foundation.

2.       To start, place the concealer onto the back of your hand and then transfer using a concealer brush.

3.       Apply in a few thin layers rather than in one thick application and use your fingers to pat or smooth the concealer into the skin. The heat from your fingers will help blend the concealer.

4.       Finish off by applying a little powder to help set the foundation and concealer to provide maximum staying power.

The New No7 Match Made Concealers are available in 17 shades, from the 4^th September, priced at £7.50 each.

La Prairie's New Skin Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask & Soufflé Body Cream

Luxury skincare brand La Prairie has announced the launch of the Skin Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask and Skin Caviar Luxe Soufflé Body Cream, two new treatments to restore and illuminate the face and body. 
The first new addition, Skin Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask, £204 for 50ml, is a nightly treatment formulated to rescue skin with the concentrated benefits of a mask and restorative benefits of a night cream, reversing damage and allowing the user to wake revitalised and refreshed. 
The mask is formulated with caviar extract to firm and lift along with sunflower seed oil to replenish skin’s moisture levels. Finally, the natural exfoliation enzyme technology helps to soften and improve the overall appearance of the skin. 

The Skin Caviar Luxe Soufflé Body Cream, £204 for 150ml, is a luxurious treatment that pampers skin with nourishment, energy, and protection. Rich firming caviar extracts are coupled with a new active three-in-one ingredient, designed to reinforce the skin’s barrier function and regulate moisture. 
It stimulates filaggrin synthesis and the production of aquaporin-3, which maintains the water balance within the skin cells. 
Consequently, the skin barrier is restored and trans-epidermal water loss is reduced. Exfoliation is achieved with willow bark extract while algae extracts and caffeine help to improve micro-stimulation and offer firming benefits. Both products will be available on counters from October.

New No7 Lift & Luminate Dark Spot Corrector - Review

New from No7 is their Lift & Luminate Dark Spot Corrector, this is designed to reduce the overproduction on melanin which will in turn cause dark spots to lighten & their appearance lessen. The product contains no bleaching ingredients at all which is great news & is hypo-allergenic so suitable for sensitive skins, the ingredients include saphora, kiwi extract & vitamin c all of which inhibit the over-production of melatonin.

I was lucky enough to receive a tube of the new wonder product from No7, I'm already a huge fan of their Protect & Perfect range so was intrigued by this latest offering! As I'm still a little young for age spots (just!), I kindly asked my Mother In Law to try it out, delighted to be my guinea pig she jumped at the chance after reading glowing reports in a recent magazine! I'm glad to say she wasn't disappointed & in fact noticed only after a week that there was a noticeable reduction in several of the darker age spots that have recently appeared. Now after nearly a month the reduction in their appearance is so much so the need for a new concealer is certainly no longer there & now scored off the shopping list! Over all the density of the colour fades & the actual size is much less which is fantastic! 

A brilliant product over all as it is easy to apply & feels great on the skin, for best results of course follow with a full regime with the Lift & Luminate Day & Night Serum as well as moisturiser containing an SPF.

I would definitely recommend this for anybody who would like to reduce the appearance of their age spots plus it's a lot less invasive (not to mention cheaper!) than salon based treatments which is a great bonus!
