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, FunctionLabhas done the work for you!
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.
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.
Since tanning beds are so passé (we’ll take a pass on skin cancer, thank you!) we’ve turned to San Francisco-based Benefit cosmetics for some help in the summer prep department. Three products are must-haves for getting that perfectly bronzed radiance…
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!
Ready for a trip to the French Riviera? Dior has just released its SS ‘12 CroisetteCollection, which is full of vibrant hues reminiscent of a holiday in the south of France.
Now that the sun is (finally!) shining and spring is in the air, you might be noticing a change in your skin; it can be a tough transition to adjust from dry and damp winter to warmer weather.
If you’re finding your skin oilier than normal this time of year, try Annayake’s Fluide Matifiaint (or matifying fluid for oily skin). To avoid skin becoming shiny through the day, apply this treatment in the morning to absorb excess oil. It restores skin’s balance by regulating the production of sebum, the fatty oil produced by glands to coat hair and skin; excess sebum contributes to acne.
Annayake is a French skin care line that specializes in researching and respecting historic Japanese beauty treatments. It is dedicated to the culture’s 2000 years of traditions in using active ingredients, innovative formulas and delicate textures.
Have you ever heard of a company that offers bespoke skincare solution? Kate Logan is a UK-based skincare specialist who creates products and potions that are perfectly tailored to your skin’s needs. The goods are truly natural products – I’m talking 100 per cent, no garbage added – which means they have an expiration date since chemicals don’t prolong the shelf-life.
After years of trying to calm her own highly sensitive and temperamental skin, Kate began researching the products, facials and alternative therapies that could help – with no luck. Discouraged, she decided to take action and create her own solution.
“I set a goal to create a simple skincare range that was entirely natural – no chemicals, no artificial ingredients, just simple, gentle products to heal and soothe the skin,” Logan says. “Each product is a deceptively simple blend of pure, plant based ingredients that are naturally power-packed to create a wonderfully soothing treatment.”
Today, Kate Logan is one of the most celebrated new beauty brands in the UK. Every single product sold has been made (by hand!) by Kate, specifically for the client’s needs. Begin by filling out Kate’s Beauty Prescription, which asks specialized questions about your own skin so she devise the best plan possible. I recently did this and received an amazing 1,400-word response packed with information about ways I can improve my skincare regime. She recommended a slew of products that will be essential to naturally readjusting and revamping my personal skincare regime. When my order arrived, it was beautifully packaged, each bottle wrapped with a list of its ingredients and how to use it for optimal results. There’s also an exhilaration date on each item, so you know when best to use it before it goes off.
Given the level of cancer-causing chemical and preservative additives put into beauty products today, it’s astonishing people everywhere aren’t more interested in natural solutions. If you’re ready to take on a more holistic approach to skincare, Kate Logan will coach you through the process – and prove that natural products truly work!
