1 year ago I had a non-surgical skin lifting and tightening procedure. I started to notice some areas of my face had begun to migrate south. My jawline wasn’t as tight as it used to be and I had lines forming around my mouth that weren’t...
We all love the idea of having a ‘shelfie’ filled with products that makes our Instagram the envy of all of our friends. But with the constant influx on new products coming into our lives, and the simplified skincare and beauty routines that are making...
Being unhappy with your skin can really get you down. And the older you get the more there is to complain about. While I've battled pigmentation for many years, now the fine lines and dry crepey texture also bother me too. Many Australian women considering treatments...
Lip enhancement has become a popular trend over the past few years, especially amongst younger women. While pouty and pillowy lips are on many wish lists, lip enhancement isn’t just about creating bigger lips, but can instead be used as part of an anti-aging program...
Powder foundation is the unsung hero of the beauty world. It’s often one of the last makeup products to be lauded in your average kit and for the past few years in particular, has been pushed aside for its liquid, glow-inducing counterpart. However sophisticated formulas are...
I know only too well that sometimes no matter how much you diet and how much you exercise there are certain areas on our bodies that just will not shed fat. For me it's my belly, I've never had a slim tummy even when I was...
All mothers will know that it can be extremely hard to get your body back into the same shape as it used to be before you had kids. Being pregnant, giving birth, and breast-feeding all attribute to the massive changes our bodies go through after...
These days good brows are a life essential. Just as clothing styles go in and out of fashion, so do brow shapes, and decade to decade the desirable brow is vastly different to the previous. Good brows are a sign of youth and have the ability...
It’s no secret that the beauty industry and all of its ever-evolving products and treatments can quickly blow out a gal’s budget. Unfortunately for my bank balance, I do find it completely rational to spend more money on beauty products than I do groceries, and...
What if a taught, more defined jawline and a structural face-lift could be achieved without going under the knife? That vision becomes reality with the Structural Remodeling System (SRS) - an innovative proprietary remodeling treatment that targets skin tightening and skin health by combining the synergy...
As you’re peeling off those knits and revealing post winter arms and bellies, do you bemoan those trouble spots that don’t seem to budge no matter how many tricep dips you do (or cheesy dips you avoid)? Sometimes, no matter how much you diet and exercise,...
There's no doubt that as we move on into the future we will expect everything in our lives to be more customised to our personal circumstances. Our computers, our homes, our cars, our exercise regimens and even the food we eat will be marketed in...
Dark circles under the eye are one of the biggest areas of concern for both women and men. Most of us have darkness under our eyes to some degree. The eyes are a hotspot of perception and are the area people first notice when they look at...
Cosmetic medicine just keeps getting better and better! A groundbreaking new injectable treatment for the double chin 'Belkyra' is now available in Australia. To some of us a double chin mightn't seem like much of a big deal, but those who have a double chin say it often has a negative...
More and more often people are talking about Invisalign. Invisialign is a modern alternative to braces which straightens the teeth, and as the name suggests is virtually invisible.In this day and age if you had to choose between the standard 'train track' braces or an...
Possibly the biggest beauty blunder known to women is wearing the wrong foundation. You might think it's easy to pop into a store and quickly pick a foundation off the shelf by simply looking at the colour and thinking that it looks "close enough" but...
Less sleep, more stress, shopping and parting all take their toll on our skin. And more often than not we're left with lack lustre, dull and patchy skin at the end of each holiday season. Usually around mid January I do a sort of...
Ok so I admit I have a thing for Kylie Jenner...
Full, plump lips...
Celebrities are not only the biggest influencers, tastemakers and trendsetters of fashion but they also set the standard of what people believe we should aspire to look like. And celebs definitely put their money were their mouth is when it comes to beauty...
Everyone wants the perfect smile, and essentially the perfect smile means teeth that are symmetrical and white. With no doubt that having a perfect smile would boost confidence (and more importantly look great with lipstick!) I wanted to get my teeth whitened. I knew I...
It's no secret that non surgical cosmetic treatments like Botox and fillers are a booming industry and yet so many women still treat these procedures as taboo. Many women refuse to talk about it or prefer to keep it a secret, the irony being that...

Some have been received positively both by the customers and the medical community. Juvederm treatments...
Eyebrows are the ultimate facial accessory of today. When people ask me for advice on shaping their brows the one thing I can't stress enough is DO NOT OVER PLUCK!!!! I admit I have been an over plucker in years gone by and now that...
I've never been able to get DIY eye brow waxing right. I found that pre waxed facial strips just aren't precise enough and could easily lead to waxing off chunks of eyebrow (or eyelashes- ouch!) Now I've found a really easy to use and VERY precise...
[gallery] I've written about the pro's and con's of retouching before but this has just reinforced my view that retouching is being taken too far. Kate Winslet is the face of Lancome, and yes Kate is gorgeous but in some of these images promoting lipstick and...
Laser hair removal can be expensive, with a bikini line costing up to $100 and at least 6 treatments needed it can be a costly luxury some cannot afford. When I heard about a new gadget called LUMEA from Phillips which is a DIY laser...
Just last week I heard about the Vampire facial, and needless to say I was intrigued. The Vampire Facial is the latest technique in skin rejuvenation and anti-wrinkle treatments and it's HUGE in Hollywood. Other wise known as Facial Stem cell Stimulation this treatment uses...
