New from Rodial - Glamtox Peel


Rodial's latest skincare addition & alternative to surgery is their 'Glamtox Peel', this is a clay mask which claims it can reverse the signs of ageing in just ten minutes!
It contains their new ground breaking ingrediant 'LaraCare' which firms & lifts the skin as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it also contains 'Aigirline' which can reduce stress in the skin & relax contracted muscles (a little like botox but without the needles!), they also claim that these ingrediants take effect instantly so you can see effects straight away after use. As if that wasn't enough to make you want to try it out, they claim that the fruit acids also refine the skin giving you a brighter, healthier & more youthful complexion!
To use, apply the mask generously to the skin, allow to dry & then remove by gently rubbing the skin with fingertips, finally rinse with warm water.
Available on line at www.rodial.co.uk or at Harvey Nichols (£70).

Brand New Neutrogena Wave - Review


Over the last 2 weeks I have been putting the new Neutrogena Wave to the test, a new innovative & revolutionary way to cleanse the skin! It is a small compact device with a vibrating motion which releases a 'tingly' foam to penetrate deep into the pores, the gentle vibrations then massage the face to give you softer skin just after one use! This means that it can cleanse 10 times deeper removing dirt, oil & make-up, pretty impressive! You simply add the small softly textured pads & with warm water apply the the device across the face, quick & easy whilst you get a salon standard cleanse at home!
Having a naturally oily skin I have found that it can reduce excess oil build up as well, the sensation on the skin is fantastic, leaving my skin feeling very soft as well as banishing any blemishes!! It is very easy to use too which is important & makes cleansing a little more enjoyable each night, no more wiping cleanser away with cotton wool, just a quick fun cleanse & I'm done!
Neutrogena Wave is released in the UK on Monday (24/11) & you can find them in all major Boots stores nationwide, the starter pack is just £12.99 & includes 14 pads (you throw away each one after use), you can buy a refill pack for 4.99 which includes 30 pads, excellent value when you consider the cost of a facial!

Baily's "Listen To Your Lips' Campaign - PhotoShoot Preview!

EyeCandy have been given a sneak preview of the new Baily's campaign photoshoot 'Listen To Your Lips', it launches globally at the end of this month & top fashion photographer Rankin was assigned to create images which feature iconic & contempoaray lipstick/gloss looks.
First Advert Shots To Be Released -



Over 100 models were casted for the print advertising campaign, the key to choosing these models was that they had to have luscious and expressive lips, and were from different cultural backgrounds.
Casting Pictures -


In the first phase of print advertisements the model's make-up was kept natural and the make-up artist used lipstick/gloss colours that built on the models natural lip colour.
Exclusive Behind The Scenes Shots of the Photoshoot -




There are more print adverts to run later in the campaign which feature more dramatic lip looks including glitter, so we'll try post these as well, some inspiration for festive season make-up looks perhaps! Also the first set of tv adverts are out now so keep your eyes peeled!
