Halle Berry is so PERFECT. I love everything about her; her flawless golden skin, cute haircut and beautiful face. So it comes as no surprise that she is a beauty muse today. I just wonder what took me so long to feature her. I guess out of sight, is out of mind, Halle needs to be back on the big screen.

I have always wondered the secret to Halle’s radiant skin. She doesn’t look anything like her age, she is 49 years old, but could pass for a woman in her 20s. I mean, she looks a lot more youthful than most wome half her age.

I went digging and found some quotes on how she takes care of her skin –

“My routine of taking care of my skin is always the same. I use a cleanser, toner, moisturize, then use eye cream,”

“When you take care of your skin, you have a nice, beautiful palette to put makeup onto,” Berry says. “I find that the makeup goes on better, lasts longer, and wears better. You can actually get away with wearing less when you’ve got a good palette to start with.” In addition to her regular routine, the star also mists her face with rosewater before applying makeup, and if she’s going bare-faced, she’ll stash a bottle in her car for a mid-day spritz. She adds: “I’m constantly changing, evolving, and aging, and I want to stick with what works for me and my skin now.”

I agree with her. I find that when I pay special attention to my skin and well-being, I glow, and my makeup looks even more beautiful. I have read a lot about the benefits of spraying rosewater on the face before applying makeup, and I really want to try it, and see for myself.

What do you think of Halle Berry as a beauty muse? Have you tried the new beauty secret  – spraying rose water on the face?

My Laser Hair Removal Journey: The Fourth Session

My Laser Hair Removal Journey: The Fourth Session

Hey peeps. If you have been following my laser hair removal journey, then you will know all about what stage I am at with my treatment, and this lovely green chair, where all the magic happens. Well if you didn’t know, you know now (wink wink). This is my fourth session, I am having my chin hair permanently removed, through laser treatment, at Laser Chic Manchester, and it is going extremely well. I had really coarse hair on my chin, but it has gone really fine and thin now, and the new growth that comes up weeks after the treatment is almost invisible to the naked eye.

This session went as normal, the lovely Seti, the clinic owner, wiped my makeup off my chin, and then the laser machine got to work. The heat on the machine was increased in order to get to the very thin hairs on the chin, so it was slightly more uncomfortable than my previous sessions, but it was still very bearable. The treatment was over in less than 10 minutes, and then the Janssen Cosmetics Sensitive Skin Complex was applied to the chin to cool off.

I am loving the fact that my chin will be hair-free in a couple of weeks, and I can’t wait. I have two more sessions which I will be having within the next 8 weeks, and I am so excited.

I think most women are uncomfortable talking about their body insecurities, whether it is facial hairs, stretch marks or other skin problems, and will shy away from even telling themselves they need to sort out whatever the insecurities might be, and I get that many people think laser treatment is kind of harmful and will hurt like hell, and they are so wrong. There is nothing harmful about laser treatments as long as it is done at the right clinic, and yea it could hurt, depending on what your pain threshold. I find it a tiny bit uncomfortable, like a sting, but definitely not as painful as waxing or threading, so if you can wax or thread, then you can undergo laser treatment.

 

**I received the treatment in exchange for a review but all words are MINE.

 

 

Beauty Muse – Kate Winslet

The Oscar-winning British actress; Kate Winslet, a brand ambassador for Lancôme, has one of the most beautiful faces in the world. So it comes as no surprise that she is a Beauty Muse on Fashion and Style Police. I love her beautiful eyes and flawless skin. Her makeup is always on point, and she looks equally as beautiful without any makeup, in a different way. She also looks even more beautiful with age, beauty goals right here.

Here are some of her beauty secrets of the 40-year-old stunner:

Fresh air does wonders for my skin so I keep a window open in my room at night for a little bit of breeze. I try to get as much sleep as possible, and drink plenty of water too. Wearing make-up can make a woman feel confident, feminine and celebrated – and I think it also brings a sense of liberation.

My beauty icon is the make-up artist Lisa Eldridge. She is confident in herself and truly loves her job, which makes her a joy to work with.’

‘Glamour to me is about remaining graceful and understated. For example, with very bold lip colors, you can’t overdo the rest of your face,” the actress says. “With a bright-red party lipstick, just go with lots of mascara and keep everything else clean.’

“I rarely rely on one foundation – mixing two colors can make a big difference. I never use too much powder, only in the right areas [such as the T-zone]. I have peachy fuzz on my cheeks, so I have to be careful with powder.” 
Great tip here. I mix two shades of my MAC foundation too because I couldn’t get the right shade on its own. Mixing foundations does work!
I adore everything about Kate Winslet. Her down to earth personality and honesty is so rare, it is refreshing. She looks as beautiful on the inside, as she does on the outside.
