Over the years I have witnessed the introduction of dozens of toning and slimming salon treatments. Some of them literally eliminate excess fluid meaning that almost as soon as you have a glass of water you fill out again, while the ones that promise to tone are usually only effective when used in conjunction with diet and exercise. That is why I was very surprised when my therapist at Pink Beauty … [Read more...]
We sent our (hairy and anonymous) guinea pig off to try some laser hair removal at Therapie Clinic in Dublin. I am man, hear me roar! The latter part being the key word during the numerous painful waxing sessions I've endured over the past few years. Reminiscing back to my early secondary school days I remember the lads boasting about how they were shaving and were sprouting a couple … [Read more...]
This is lightweight formulation can be used either on its own or under moisturiser. The Nuxe experts recommend that anyone with normal to combination skin use it on its own and those with dry to sensitive skin use it under their regular moisturiser. I used it in conjunction with my usual day and night creams as I felt this would work best for me since my skin can be rather sensitive at … [Read more...]
For many, many years I wore gel nail extensions. I liked how they could withstand more abuse than my naked nail and they also added length to my talons. However, I especially liked the smooth glossy finish that I had never been able to get from any nail polish. I recently had my gel tips removed, having decided to get my own nails back in condition and have been wearing a lot of nude shades of … [Read more...]
I’m stating the obvious when I say we’ve had a harsh winter (it feels like it’s lasted about ten months at this stage) and despite my best efforts the combination of the elements and a lot of time spent sitting in centrally heated rooms had taken its toll on my complexion recently and my skin was incredibly dehydrated. Although it didn’t look dry and flaky I could feel that there was … [Read more...]
When we think of serums most of us think of a cream type substance that we use underneath our moisturisers which are more intensive than our usual cream alone. However, just like moisturisers come in light, creamy, rich and thin formulations there are a multitudes of different kinds of serums available and some of them offer very specific anti aging benefits. We tested a few of the most recent … [Read more...]
The older I get, the more I realise that my parents were right about so much when I was younger. For example, they hate tattoos, and after I got my second (they didn’t know about the first) when I was 18, they freaked out and told me I would regret it. Fast forward 14 years and they were right, I absolutely regret staining my body with permanent ink! I’ve already had one, very small, … [Read more...]
Before I even mention the actual eyeshadows in this palette I have to talk about the packaging. It is a beautiful rose gold/copper colour which, of course, is bang on trend at the moment. However, the people at Dr Hauschka didn’t merely randomly pick it because it was in fashion. It turns out that in ancient Roman mythology copper was associated with Venus, goddess of love. They believed that … [Read more...]
Regular readers will know that I’m not the biggest fan of men-specific skincare. My view is that I’ve been using ‘women’s’ skincare for many years and, for the most part, these have worked well on my skin. My biggest issue with skincare aimed at men is the scent, with many often smelling like a pungent cologne. However, every now and then a male skincare product comes along that I … [Read more...]
Before I say anything I should mention that this treatment has nothing to do with strawberries – that is simply a brand name. The procedure uses a laser which causes fat cells to expel water, fatty acids and glycerol leading to inch loss. It has only recently arrived in Ireland with 4th Avenue Beauty Salon in Dublin’s Ballsbridge; the first place in the country to offer the … [Read more...]
