New Spring Trends for 2008 - White Eyeliner & Highlighter

Back in trend this spring is White Eyeliner which is great news for all those tired post party eyes!!!!
An easy trick to master, it makes your eyes appear wider, brighter & more awake with an added sparkle!
The best way to apply this is to the inner rim of your bottom lash line (inside your lower lid), it reflects light really opening up the eye as well as brightening the whites of your eyes too. To get this look go for Mac's Eye Kohl in Fascinating (£11).
Also to really get those eyes shimmering this year use a little highlighter in the inner corners, it will draw light into this area, opening up the eye & giving a more youthful appearance, try Mac's eye shadow in 'Phloof' (£10)


Another big trend for spring 2008 is highlighter which gives a fresh glow to the skin, simply use alone without make-up for a natural dewy look. Apply to the upper part of your cheek bone (just below the eye), take it right up to the brow bone & for some extra definition apply some along the bridge of your nose.
Try Maybelline's Dream Mouse Shimmer, it's really easy to apply & comes in 2 shades - Champagne or Porcelain (£5.99)

January Beauty Detox

With the festive season finally over 'The Detox' is the main thing on everybodys' mind, that & their credit card statement..!
We're going to dedicate the next few weeks to some of the best detox treatments as well as some magical products to take away any tell tale signs of over indulgence during the festive period!!

First up is fresh seaweed...not the most glamorous I know but it truly works wonders in detoxing your skin, perfect for getting back on track with your beauty regime this Jan!


In short seaweed is rich in many vitamins including B Vits -B1, B2, B6, B12 as well as containing many detoxifying minerals, it encourages absorption of minerals into the skin tissue eliminating any toxins. Extracts from seaweed are used in many top spa treatments & is not only good for a healthy glow on your skin but it can also help to break down cellulite deposits on the body.
There are few ways you can treat yourself to this, you could go down the natural organic route & order fresh seaweed directly from the North of Scotland - www.justseaweed.com is a small business on the ISLE OF BUTE & from just £15 you will receive a bag of freshly cut seaweed to make your own face or body mask, just add warm water & place the seaweed on your skin....

Not keen on using fresh seaweed itself...then there's another great way to get all the detoxifying effects. Space NK Spa do a fantastic Seaweed extract bath range, try their bath crystals for a toning & revitalising experience, £18.
