Red Lips – The Trend That Never Dies

Ladies are always seeking for that one big, shinny and very special secret that can help them look fantastic no matter what time of the day or month of the year it might be and no matter what event they might be attending. They always need to look at their best, no matter how tired and worn out they might be and they are continuously trying out new foundation and mascara that can provide them with the “fresh glam” they need. But, according to a friend whom I spoke to after a long time at our inschool staff training, red lipstick makes the biggest difference and watching some Coco Chanel or Marilyn Monroe and Dita Von Teese pictorials, we cannot actually disagree. Red lipstick looks great on these fashion icons, no matter if they are trying to seduce an audience or win over a new heart. But there is more to it than you could probably imagine.

Big Is Beautiful Too

Oprah Winfrey has been a trendsetter of sorts in many walks of life for women in America and the world over. She has set milestones in the world of television with her talk show spanning a run of more than a decade or two, her charitable acts are legendary and define her vision for her life span, and even in the world of fashion she has opened doors for women of larger sizes.

Epilation’s what you need

My flatmate always has enviably smooth legs, and I asked her recently what her secret was. I suspected she’d found the best waxer in London at some secret little beauty parlour, and was hoping for a name and a number. To my surprise she whipped out a small plastic object that looked a bit like a pastel coloured electric razor.

“My epilator” she replied. “It’s genius.”

I’ve been saving up for laser hair removal for a few years, so have been battling on with the pain and inconvenience of waxing, the gloopiness of hair removal creams, and the irritation of shaving.

Protect your skin in winter

The nights are drawing in, the temperatures are starting to drop and I spent an hour last night looking for the “safe place” where I put my woollen hat, scarf and gloves at the end of spring. All this means two things; that winter isn’t far away and that my skin is going to start suffering very soon. All that switching from heated buildings to freezing outside temperatures can play havoc with healthy skin, so it’s important that you tailor your morning and evening routine accordingly. This doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have to spend a lot of cash on expensive beauty products; I’m constantly troubled by chapped lips between October and March, but relatively cheap tubs of Vaseline have proven to be more helpful at relieving the symptoms (and keeping my lips kiss-ably soft for all that Christmas mistletoe) than any fancy products chock full of made-up scientific ingredients.

Using Silver Jewellery to Make Your Fashion Statement

I remember two people telling me their secrets about silver jewellery: my mother when I was young and, more recently, a very fashionable, glamorous artist wife of a friend. Both said the same thing which I found facinating: it’s best to wear silver jewellery when you are young (that is, under forty I suppose), but I disagree - I think silver is ageless.

Silver has been fashion hot since time began - I think it’s far more versatile than gold More

Every beauty magazine, diet guide and well-meaning friend will tell you that if you’re trying to lose weight, water is your most important weapon. In fact, water is pretty important to how we look and feel whether we’re trying to lose weight or not.

Plastic fantastic?

I have a complete fear of needles, so there’s no chance I’ll ever succumb to the modern craze for plastic surgery. No matter how much I hated a part of my face or body, I hate needles much more; so when I get wrinkles or add a bit of weight, I’ll just have to put up with it or deal with the problem the hard way – by working at it!
I’m not averse to the idea of plastic surgery. More
