Beauty Buy: FunctionLab

From vitamins and minerals to fatty acids and antioxidants, it can be difficult to remember the names of all the nutrients you should consume for inner (and outer) health … let alone where you can find them and the right quantities. Luckily, FunctionLab has done the work for you!

Spring Must-Have: Josie Maran Argan Bronzing Oil

Want a natural glow without harming your skin in a tanning bed? Try Josie Maran’s Argan Bronzing Oil; dubbed ‘liquid gold,’ a few drops of the thick serum spread over your face and you will be glowing (and I mean G-L-O-W-I-N-G.)

Maran’s entire Argan Oil Collection is worth trying out. The main ingredient is a 100 per cent natural oil that’s sourced from Morocco, where it has been used for centuries for its cosmetic and nutritional benefits.

Free from chemicals, parabens and other nasty factory-made ingredients, Argan Oil is an all-natural way to enhance your beauty regimen. Not only does it soothe and soften skin, but it minimizes lines and works to heal acne and scarring. It’s also safe for use on hands (hello, gorgeous cuticles!), hair (goodbye, split ends!) and it’s even safe to use on babies and children.

The Bronzing Oil is rich in Vitamin E, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, so while it gives you a faux tan it will also work to protect your skin from the elements. You can also use it in your hair and all over your body to infuse your skin with anti-ageing nutrients.

Josie Maran is an actress and model who founded her cosmetics line with the goal of fostering ‘beauty with a conscious.’ All products are eco-friendly, non-toxic and often have a philanthropic aspect (like donating proceeds to the Natural Resources Defense Council‘s Polar Bear SOS Initiative or Moroccan womens’ co-ops).

Protect your hair colour

If you spend money to have your hair dyed, it’s worth investing in quality products to extend your colour treatment. Using normal shampoo on dyed hair doesn’t preserve or enhance the colour, plus can lead to fading, discolouration and dryness.

Shhhh….it’s ‘Topchicret’!

An unusual new face for major beauty brand Maybelline, needs an original way to announce the newa. Charlotte Free -known as the model with the pink dyed hair- joins Christy Turlington and Erin Wasson as the new face for Maybelline makeup. But shhhh…it was supposed to be ‘topchicret’. For those who are as big of fans as we are of the hilarious videos ‘Sh*t Fashion Girls Say’ then you’re going to enjoy this video with the always fabulous P’trique and half of the New York fashionscene.

Meow! How to get the ‘cat eye’

Few makeup styles are sexier than a classic cat eye. Whether you like thick glossy application or long wings that fan outwards from your eyes, the look is easier to achieve than you might think. Celebs fans have ranged from Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot to Kate Moss and Angelina Jolie in more recent times – there’s no reason you jump on board the bandwagon too!
