Channel Four Extreme Male Beauty


The latest craze that is now sweeping the nation courtesy of Chanel Four is Extreme Male Beauty, we all know how our men have become a lot more in tune with their self image these days & many are very proud to be classified as 'metrosexual', but it seems that the quest for body-perfection is a pressing issue not just for women but also for many men... Next week on the show (Thursday 21/05) we see willing victim Rudi Fieldgrass having a new cult beauty procedure called Vaser Lipo & the treatment was carried out 6 weeks ago at a Kensington Spa 'EF MediSpa'. A new procedure Vaser Lipo, has only just recently come over from the states (don't they all!), it was developed by Sound Surgical Technology & is a process that uses a gentle ultrasound probe to emulsify and remove large or small areas of fat, leaving other tissue intact. This is why it has a much faster recovery time that traditional lipo, with much smoother results. Unlike lipo it can also be used on almost any body part (arms, chest, stomach, bottom, chin, etc) that needs fat removing from it! Sounds pretty good doesn't it, the faster, easier & as if by magic way to perfection - well almost! Anyway check out the before & afters below & watch out for it on Channel Four next Thursday!

Top Mascara - Maybelline Lash Stiletto


Definitely one of the hottest products on the market right now is Maybelline's Lash Stiletto Mascara & as the name describes, it gives you stiletto height to your lashes! The grip brush grasps & coats each lash from all angles while it's elastic formula lengthens for a dramatic finish. It also contains Pro-Vitamin B5 to condition & smooth the lashes to give a black patent shine to complete the striking finish! So far the feedback seems to be all good, great packaging that makes it fit neatly into your bag, the applicator is thin & easy to use, only small thing is in order to get the effect they boast you may need two or three coats, however you can do so with no clumping so no real problems there! Also a penny pinching favourite at under £8!

Hot Topic This Week - The Rise of The 'Pillow Face'!


'The Rise of The Pillow Face' has been a popular talking point this week & I don't think we could find a better term for the new celebrity phenomena that has been sweeping the red carpets of late! Linda Evans snagging the Hells Kitchen trophy this week sparked quite a few remarks on her 'pillow' like cheeks at the 'tender' age of 65, clear give away signs of the new popular non-invasive cosmetic surgery...!!! Increasing numbers of A-listers are requesting the new sought after 'plumped' look, as opposed to the 'wind tunnel' face lift or the 'frozen' & 'shiny' Botox looks that have been all the rage over the last decade.. As we age & our skin looses not only it's elasticity but it's fullness & volume as well, which no amount of botox can bring back & that's where the magic 'Fillers' come in to play, with one simple injection all your youth can come flooding back....or does it!!?? Some may disagree & instead say all we see is unnatural puffed out cheeks & swollen lips!
The most popular fillers are Restylane, Voluma & Radiese & now a new more controversial product called Sculptra which was developed for AIDS patients whose faces would sink around the skill after treatment.
Below are a few other clear candidates for the Pillowface age, some food for thought on how we would like to see ourselves in the next 10 or even 20 years perhaps!!!?? -
