Victoria Beckham's New Bird Poo Facial


Just as you thought celebrity beauty regimes couldn't get any wackier Victoria Beckham's new facial hits the headlines & yes it really does consist of bird droppings, well nightingale droppings (that makes it a bit better doesn't it..!?)
Of course it undergoes a fair amount of treatment before it gets anywhere near your face, it's the enzymes contained within the poo that provides all it's miracle working properties! 'Guanine' is an illuminating amino acid & has apparently been used by the Japanese for centuries to keep the skin youthful in appearance. This is extracted from the lovely bird droppings then dried out & mixed up with other ingredients such as green tea, gold leaf & shea butter, then treated with UV light in order to create a potion the likes of Victoria Beckham would allow on her face! It is said to leave your skin glowing & instantly refreshed, it comes at a price though, £135 for a 90Min Session!

Perfect Skin All Day - Rimmel's New Lasting Finish Foundation


Rimmel's latest offering 'Lasting Finish 16Hr Foundation' promises to go the distance from day to night giving you fresh flawless skin all the way - perfect for partying straight after work on a Friday! It is a light weight liquid with added minerals to keep the skin looking healthy & is also non transferable onto clothes. Users have been giving it the thumbs up so far, with many saying it's one of the best foundations they have tried in a long time, in fact quite a few swapping their Estee Lauder Double Wear for this cheaper alternative saying that is gives a fantastic coverage but also feels very light on the skin. Many others also found that there was no need for concealer either & over all it made their skin look a lot more toned, plus it was easy to blend & it really did last all day. On the down side though the lightest shade 'Ivory' (comes in 5) is a little too dark for paler skin tones, but over all it seems to be a winner! (£5.99)
