Over the next few weeks, Lee Mullins - Director of Personal Training at Bodyism, the holistic inside-and-out body system that supers Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Elle 'The Body' Macpherson turn to in order to sculpt their long, lean and strong … [Read more...]
Making Waves
Thought the only route to hot, sexy tousled hair was immersing yourself in the sun-warmed waters of the Mediterranean? Well, whilst we'd love to think that's always an option, we're far happier in the knowledge that we can easily recreate the … [Read more...]
Not So Bright White
I'm all for embracing a pure white, Tipp-Ex nail, but sadly my far-from-olive skin tone isn't quite so keen on the idea. Instead of looking edgy and pure I just look unkempt and a little grimy - despite immaculately and professionally shaped nails … [Read more...]
Forego Dextrous Fingers For An Intraceuticals Infusion
When it comes to facials, I'm a get down and dirty kinda girl. I don't need (or want) someone to lovingly slather (and then remove) all manner of unguents over my skin, no matter how stress-relieving or nap-inducing their methods may be, nor how … [Read more...]
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Lucas Hugh Lifts Off
Today marks the one year anniversary of the Rover Curiosity's Mars landing. Whilst the Rover's first steps were somewhat tentative, closer to home the Mars Collection from fitness brand Lucas Hugh is destined to be anything but. Taking … [Read more...]
The Future of Interactive Fitness
Gym workouts can be rather vacuous affairs. Unless you're blessed with a trainer who gets you - your body, goals and preferred training style - knowing exactly what you should be doing (and getting the right results) can be hugely problematic. And so … [Read more...]
Summer’s New Skin
After seasons of enhanced, dewy and hyper-real bases, skin-finishing trends have taken an altogether less glossy direction for Spring Summer 2013. In one simple sweep of a loaded brush, the signature dewy-skinned look that we had, finally, mastered … [Read more...]
Transform Troublesome Summer Skin
Hefty doses of Vitamin D, naturally clarifying salt water, fresh sea air and lashings of skin-softening moisturisers (not to mention a Mediterranean diet rich in skin-boosting vitamins and minerals), summer, it's got all the makings of gleaming, … [Read more...]
Faking It, Flawlessly
So much for the heady scents of hazy summer evenings; Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Sweet Tangerine. The preternaturally soupy London air is, instead, laden with stifling notes of biscuit. Beds are tainted, not with the comforting beach-fresh film of … [Read more...]
Kindling with Karl and Mary K
Not content until he has taken over the world, or at least created a Lagerfeld version of each and every commodity known to mankind, Karl is once again dipping his (we imagine magnificently manicured) toes back in the world of beauty. Cue … [Read more...]
Hot Hot Holiday Makeup
Make up purchases are never quite as fabulous, frivolous and damn right hot as they are in summer. All those bright-as-you-like shades that come into their own against freshly tanned skin, lightened hair and wide eyes. The super sheer gleaming … [Read more...]
A Super Pretty Spritz
If there's anything, beauty-wise, that can cut through this searing heat whilst at the same time protecting skin from the over-eager AC it's a hydrating facial spray. Tempering heated skin with a cooling blast. But why waste time with simple H2O … [Read more...]
Summer Hair Trends: Errol Douglas
Forget precision styling and perfect hair, because this summer's styles are laid back and insouciant. From Christopher Kane to Valentino and Dolce and Gabbana, braids were loose, plaits imperfect and updos were delightfully dishevelled. Over the … [Read more...]
Just Add SPF
It has been a slow burner but sure enough the new season is upon us. Whilst the skincare experts would have you slathering on the SPF throughout the winter months (even without sun it's the UVA rays that penetrate the cloud cover and speed up the … [Read more...]
Beauty Spot: Debbie Thomas DNA Facial
Head on up to the 3rd Floor of Hari's Brompton Road Salon and there you'll find no airs or graces, no elaborate displays of luxury, no candles, dimmed lights or aromatherapy oils wafting through the air. This is no opulent massage room or luxurious … [Read more...]
Hair Fix: Sebastian Trilliance Shine Crafter Wax
Nothing puts me off daily hair washing quite like the feel of freshly cleansed hair. It's just too slippery, too soft. Too pliable to be styled. Just washed, it simply falls, albeit glossily, in a rather unflattering non-styled curtain, refusing to … [Read more...]
Summer Hair Trends With Errol Douglas
There's a reason the Heidi Braid has been a constant beauty hit over the past few years, and why season to season it makes its way back onto both the catwalk and red carpet. Firstly, as a style, it 's strangely versatile; wear it soft and loose with … [Read more...]
Summer Splash
There's nothing quite like a refreshingly light splash of well, splash, to cut through the summer-in-the-city heat and humidity. More subtle than a spritz of eau de parfum but subtle enough that you can repeatedly daub yourself throughout the day … [Read more...]
