Summer is almost upon us and while some of us are getting all excited about the minis and the maxis – the bold red summer lip and the return of a kinder heal height. Some of us are just dreaming about honeymoons and holidays.
This month’s Gorgeous Girl knows all about the perfect hemlines, my Lust of the Month helps keep things clean on the go and this month’s Gorgeous Treat is an energy boosting, anti-ageing, immune supporting supplement in a sachet.
Floor sweeping dresses are very s/s10 but just as hot this season is the micro mini, legs are this seasons hottest accessory and not only do they have to be honed and toned but smooth and sleek. A lick of body cream won’t do the job. You’ll need to employ the same kind of ritual you use on your face – exfoliate, cleanse, tone and moisturize and there are a slew of wonderful new products on the market. D. Code from Biotherm is one of the best. Legs will look a little more toned in days and it also claims to turn on the bodies own metabolic enzyme protein that usually relies on exercise to switch into gear.
I checked into nails inc. London to check out their 3 week manicure. Nails are buffed, shaped cleaned and painted with a thick creamy nail colour, then ‘cured’. The whole process takes about an hour but there is no drying time required, so no risk of smudging and my nails were super glossy, chip free and well, pretty gorgeous for 2 weeks, which while a little short of the claim is perfect for the average holiday.
Our obsession with luxurious lashes continues. Eyelash extensions are fantastic if you have the will and the budget to maintain them. If you’re in London go to Sue Marsh at Cosmetics à la carte. If you’re stateside this summer then Luxlash is the place to get your lash on. The effect is gorgeous but this is high maintenance beauty so if you want less instant, but much less expensive lash gratification try one of the excellent lash enhancers on the market.
I’ve talked about these before but my new favourite is Li Lash - it is a gentle formula that does not tint your skin or eye colour as some brands will. This requires patience, but the rewards are sweet. Slowly but surely my lashes began to grow and after 3 months of daily use my once fine short lashes are now a very respectful length without mascara – but with a couple of coats of black gold they really pop – I love this product and I love my new lashes!
