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...

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...

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...

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...
