Summers coming - here are some beauty tips for the heat wave...

If you're starting to enjoy the longer evenings and now contemplating venturing out to a cool bar or even a wonderful restaurant with a friend or the new hot date, then here are few beauty tips to get you started!!!!!!!


Long eyelashes are the easiest way to get noticed!
Wearing a thin line of eyeliner and giving it a sexy flick at the end will give the illusion of longer lashes. If you feel daring, why not apply false lashes to really give the eyes a dramatic effect that you can flirt with all night!!! But don't worry... there are now more natural looking fake lashes on the market so I assure you, you will not look like Jodie Marsh! Prices range from £4.95-£13.50 so whatever your budget, you too can have fabulous lashes.

De puff me!!!
Need to make your eyes look wide awake? Try dipping a couple of chamomile tea bags in a cup of ice and water and then placing them on your closed eyes for 10 minutes. This will reduce puffiness instantly, so no one need know when you've had a late night!!!

Going Going... Gone!

Finally it’s that time of year when we get to shed the heavy layers of winter clothing to reveal... unkempt feet and unwanted hair! Yikes!

Well save us all the sight (Oooo) and jump into spring with these great products and treatments…

Hair Lightening Creams

These creams gently lighten dark hair on the body and face, usually resulting in cute 'blondish' hairs giving you that bright sun-kissed look...as if you've just been on holiday! Use around the chin, mouth, sides of the face and other areas like arms, back, belly, chest… Find hair lightening creams in all good beauty stores.

Threading
What is it? Threading is the ancient eastern art of precisely removing facial hair from the root using twists of cotton thread. Becoming increasingly popular in the West, it is especially good for shaping eyebrows and removing hair from the upper lip, forehead and chin. When done expertly threading is fast with a mild twinge and the results last for up to 3 weeks. All thread is discarded after use and as such makes threading one of the most hygienic methods of hair removal. It's fast too as threading any one area of the face takes less than 10 minutes.

If you haven’t already tried threading… it is the perfect, more precise, facial hair removal alternative to waxing, depilatory creams, tweezing or laser, especially if you have sensitive skin. Unlike laser hair removal, waxing or the use of depilatories; irritation and skin rashes are avoided as the top layer of your skin is not stripped off in the process. Also, since threading is a completely natural skin removal process, it works on all skin types, whether you have normal skin, sensitive skin, tanned or damaged skin.

Threading is my personal favourite and I highly recommend it… especially for the perfect eyebrows.

Waxing
But then again… if all of that sounds a bit much for you… just have it all waxed off!!!! Nothing beats waxing when you need to remove hair by the mass load! Threading is no good for arms, legs, pits or bikini lines! and then there are the stray hairs that you can sometimes get on your knuckles and toes!! Get rid!

Professional Pedicure
Start spring with a professional pedicure... I tell you, there's just nothing better! Have your feet soaked and get them thoroughly exfoliated. Tidy those awful cuticles and finish off with the perfect polish!!

Heel Creams & Cuticle Oils
Maintain what the hardworking pedicurist gave you by applying a daily dose of foot & heel creams and cuticle oils to keep your feet soft and dry cuticles tame.

Home Pedicures
On a budget? Save on visiting the salon and do your own pedicure at home using the professional Creative Spa pedicure range. Get at least a dozen pedicures from one kit! Here is a tip for successfully smoothing and softening hard, dry heels at home - soak your feet in fairly warm water (as warm as you can stand) with a good foot soak for up to and over an hour - do this whilst watching a movie and find that the dead dry layer comes off with just a little rubbing.


Look great and feel comfortable wearing short-sleeved tops, dresses, slippers, swim suits... feel comfortable and enjoy Spring!

When did my hands and cuticles get so dry?

Did you just look at your hands and think, I have never seen them look so bad... and when did my cuticles get so dry?

Hands...
If your hands are often in water during the day or you work in an office environment, or are a busy mum, then why not try Creative Exfoliating Crystals. They remove dry skin like magic - fast and easy to use! Finish this 5 minute hand and cuticle treatment with Creative's Finishing Lotion, making your hands feel velvety soft again.

Cuticles...
Creative Solar Oil, an award-winning product and certainly one of our favorites, will hydrate your cuticles and help your nails look and feel stronger in this cold winter weather.

So there you have it, 5 minutes later, your hands and cuticles are restored!... Go on, give it a try...'cause your worth it and you want to look fabulous!!

Bye for now!

"Look out for some more fabulous spring and summer tricks of the trade!!"

It may be cold out there, but we don't have to look it!

It's February and yes it's cold and miserable, so let Miss Salon inject some Spring / Summer makeup trends to bring out the fashionista in you.

This season is all about heavy metal and bold shades... don't worry, for those of you feeling somewhat nervous you will be pleased to know that the natural polished look is also this season's trend!

I recommend Beauty Technik Mineral Lipgloss in Salmon Gold for a fashion must have. Team it up with your existing lipstick shades or apply on it's own with pearlised shimmer on the face and eyes to give the skin luminosity.

Chase the winter blues away by applying Beauty Technik Mineral Makeup Bronzer to give you that sun kissed glow!!! It may be cold out there but we don't have to look it!

Eyes - Apply a generous line when you are out but keep the line close to the lashes for a daytime look. Darker skin can use the bold seasonal shades of electric blue and fuchsia to bring out your wonderful complexion.

Bye for now!

"More from me soon!!"

Really (really) smooth skin... in 3 steps!

Step 1
Create the best body scrub ever...

Mix some of your favorite shower gel with a handful of ground rice... yes, you read right, ground rice, to create the ultimate body srcub paste. Its fine yet firm consistency makes it the absolute best exfoliator we have ever used. Apply the paste to your body using circular movements and scrub scrub scrub! Rinse off and feel your smoothest skin ever! Use once or twice a week. I want ground rice now!

Step 2
Moisturise your skin
after every wash with lashings and lashings of your favorite stuff. We have an absolutely fabulous range of body creams from CND. Delicious fragrances include Apple & Cinnamon, Black Cherry & Nutmeg, Birch & Mint, Honeysuckle & Pink Grapefruit... MMMmmmmmmm!

Step 3
Drink fresh home-made vegetable & fruit juices...
If there is one item to invest in this year for ultimate healthy living and smooth, supple, young skin, it's a Juicer! Make yourself daily juices from carrots, celery, spinach, broccoli, apples, beetroot, ginger, sweet peppers and any other favorite veggie! I know it all sounds like it might not taste nice, but you would be mistaken... these home made juices, full of all that goodness, are just delicious and the best way to start your day, week, year! Having juiced for over 5 years, and tried may different juicers, I highly recommend the Breville JE4 CafĂ© Series Commercial Style Juicer... a bit pricey at around £180 but worth absolutely every single penny!!

Have a really BEAUTIFUL 2009 - inside and out!
