SHU UEMURA TSUYA SKIN YOUTHFUL RADIANCE GENERATOR



A product I was introduced to back in January working backstage at London Collections Mens. This light serum helped keep the male models skin looking fresh, glowing and youthful! We applied this prior to moisturising and foundation coverage. 

Clinically proven say goodbye to dull, rough and tired-looking skin. With a golden drop of tsuya skin youthful radiance generator, reactivate your skin’s youth regeneration.

This is now one of my personal favs!

DERMALOGICA REDNESS RELIEF SPF20



My latest kit essential! Another product used backstage for London Collections this January. This fantastic product helped to disguise any redness on the male models skin particularly on their ears and hands. Applied prior to foundation/concealer the natural earth minerals in this product provided a sheer green tint to actively counter telltale redness. Also Neutralises, relieves and defends against inflammation and redness induced by skin sensitivity and rosacea

RRP: £34.80 available here



VITA LIBERATA CAPTURE THE LIGHT


As an official spray tanning stockist for Vita Liberata I was so excited when just recently Vita Liberata kindly sent some products to Presenter Naomi Isted for me to try out in preparation for a Celebrity Launch Party including their Capture the Light Collection.

As used backstage at Temperley SS14. The Capture the Light Collection comprises illuminating skin finishers with Opaque or Translucent coverage which can be used as stand-alone skin perfectors, or alongside the Vita Liberata tanning range to accentuate a natural bronze tan.  

Capture the Light Opaque illuminating skin finishers are considered by beauty experts to be “better than a BB Cream for the Body”.  Translucent illuminating skin finishers offer exceptional iridescence without the coverage.

Here's how they were used backstage at Temperley with Vita Liberata Founder & CEO Alyson Hogg.




This is a personal and a new kit favourite of mine! 

Available to purchase online here.

This new and exciting brand, just about to enter its second season, has created a stir in the world of children's fashion. 

The brand was created to cater for a mid range designer children's market.  C.W.F. Children's Worldwide Fashion, the licensee holders of some of the world best known children's designers brands such as Hugo Boss, Burberry, Timberland and Chloe, created BillieBlush to fill the gap between that unique designer flare and the price tag attached to it.

Kiddi Clobber went to view the Spring/Summer 2014 collection last week and we were blown away at how gorgeous and wearable the clothing is. On her first buying trip, my daughter came with me. Her first reaction when she walked through the door of the showroom was that of utter delight. A kid in candy store to say the least! Look on and you'll see why...


Their stunning raincoat, all ready a best seller this season in all pink, will come in gold and pink next year... Yummy eh?... Yes!... We thought you'd say that...

Beautiful, yet cool playsuit... Light and easy to wear but the intricate detailing makes this stand out from the crowd.

How to get a perfect natural tan the Vita Liberata Way By Guest Blogger Naomi Isted - The London Lifestylist



In preparation for filming in HD at the Gold Class Celebrity Launch Party for Inanch London with Blondie Entertainment our makeup artist Jo Coletta recommended trying a Vita Liberata spray tan. She also explained the importance of using the prep and post products to gain that perfect colour. Here's the products and prep I did, my tan looked gorgeous on the night and extremely natural. Vita Liberata kindly offered to send me the products in preparation for the launch. So with spring in the air and short skirts on trend its time to tan those pins and tan them in style. Here's my guide on how to create the perfect spring tan.


STEP 1: EXFOLIATE
About 5 days before tanning  I exfoliated my entire body first using; 
SUPER FINE SKIN POLISH a MOISTURISING EXFOLIATOR (175ML/5.91 FL.OZ) IT COSTS £12.50.

Use this gentle but effective exfoliator with Jojoba beads and ultra-hydrating properties to prepare the skin for a perfect tan.

Is this product for you?
It's ideal for everyone that uses self tan because exfoliation is the first key step to a flawless tan. This was the first time I had applied an exfoliator into dry skin not wet skin. I then washed it off in the bath. It was gentle and my skin felt great.

STEP 2: PREP THE SKIN
I shaved my legs first then moisturised the night before my spray tan using: 
MOISTURE BOOST BODY TREATMENT

LUXURY HYDRATION (175ML/5.91 FL.OZ) AGAIN THIS IS £12.50.. ITS LIGHT AND SOFT.

This amazing luxurious moisturiser, used daily following your self tan application, will keep the skin looking tanned for longer and feeling super soft but its also good the day before your spray tan to make your skin soft.

Is this product for you?
Perfect for those who want to prolong a tan and like a subtle shimmer in a moisturiser.


STEP 3:
Jo came round and moisturised any dry areas, covered the palms of my feet and my hair and got spraying she used their Ecaudor medium tan. My tan then developed over the next 4 hours, this is how it looks initially before you wash it off and then the gorgeous tan is uncovered after you shower.


STEP 4: 
The day before I continued to use the moisture boost body treatment and in preparation for filming we used this wonderful product which is great when your filming in HD. It's called 'Capture the Light' Cream, the range comprises of illuminating skin finishers with Opaque or Translucent coverage which can be used as stand-alone skin perfectors, or alongside the Vita Liberata tanning range to accentuate a natural bronze tan.  


Capture the Light Opaque illuminating skin finishers are considered by beauty experts to be “better than a BB Cream for the Body”.  Translucent illuminating skin finishers offer exceptional iridescence without the coverage.


And finally as you can see my tan on the night looked amazing, her I am with singer/songwriter Nina Nesbitt. I wore a long open back dress by Honor Gold, again Jodie did my makeup which looked gorgeous and my hair was done by Roberto at Inanch London.



My tan has now faded gradually and looked so natural on the night but it really is important to remember to exfoliate and moisturise if you want to avoid the tell tale fack tan signs.
