Olympia beauty what I'm excited about!

I am really excited to be going to Olympia beauty next sunday, its a way for professionals to look at what products and brands are available and to get a look into up and coming trends in the beauty industry.
So i have scanned through the exhibition guide and heres who and what i am looking forward to seeing.

Neo Elegance will be launching Neo skin rejuvenator this is a costly device at £225, however with 5 functions I'm keen to see this gadget. I have used devices like this before and found them very helpful and so easy to use.

"A revolutionary device that combines LED, Ultrasonic, Massage and Ion Therapy to uncover beautifully perfected skin. The amalgamation of these therapies combats leading skin problems in one experience".

I also think there LED derma roller looks interesting and maybe i will get to experience a skin needling session....... if your reading Farrah Allarakha - Managing Director of Neo Elegance.

 Cherry blooms are an Australian company, who have created a brush on fibre for eyelashes without glue, this 2 step product is an alternative to mascara or extensions, i will definatly be visiting Cherry blooms at Olympia, as i love extensions but hate the up keep.

Opi will be launching their Nordic collection, i am a big fan of there nail varnishes as they are extremely long lasting, easy to apply and they have some great shades especially the glitter ones, i do like a bit of sparkle! 

CACI- international  non surgical lifting and contouring face and body systems, has been established for 2 decades, many celebs are known for having CACI facials, I'm fascinated by non surgical devices and treatments so this ticks all the boxes and i look forward to learning more about how the system works and what treatments are available.

And finally
Mii make up, I have first hand experience of Mii as a consultant for Spaathome, they exclusively sell Mii which is otherwise only sold through spas and salons. I enjoyed the few products i have used but it will be nice to speak to the team and hopefully they will give me some tricks and tips i can share with you all! (i love the mineral foundation). 

So next week i will be preparing for London: facial, nails, tan and hair heres hoping the kids let me get on and i don't get any tan on them! 

The appeal of this peel.......

Those of you who have followed me in my previous adventures, will know i am intrigued by face peels, so this home use Glycholic peel was like candy in a sweet shop to me!

Spa at home 

Spa treatment box £10!

The peel comes in a box which includes an application brush and a day cream, Glycholic peels are designed to exfoliate the dead skin cells to reveal the new ones, Glycholic is found in many beauty products on the market, but its worth noting home use peels will be low % in comparison to the levels used in the cosmetic industry. Glycholic is derived from sugar cane and is a popular acid used within today's industry, but what is also vital to know is if you use any type of peel or harsh exfoliant you must wear sunscreen!!! otherwise that beautiful new layer you have just revealed, will be exposed and defeats the point of the peel!

With all the boring stuff out the way here's what you want to know. 

The peel is great for those who want to try something a little bit more then a grain exfoliant, there is little if no tingle and is mega easy to use, apply the gel to a cleansed and dry face using the brush, let it dry for 10 minutes or until the peel is dry, then peel off the mask, (like when you are school peeling dried glue of your fingers!) then follow with the moisturiser included, this contains an SPF of 15 which isn't ideal but for this level of a peel fine. but hopefully you will all be using day creams with SPF 25 anyway!! this product can be used 1-2 times a week, i started with 1 and have now progressed .

Immediately after my skin feels oily, don't ask me why but this has also happened with other peels and harsh exfoliants i have tried, but the next morning my skin is great, looks fresh feels lovely, soft and smooth and visabley looks brighter and clearer. 

Nice little gift for a friend or would suit someone who wants a product that is simple to use with little or not effort, and at £10 its a great price.

This soft scruffy bun is super easy to achieve and can be dressed up if you want something a little smarter, however this is my daily hairstyle of choice so currently I'm on trend for once!

To accompany your hair try, this soft, natural make up, eyes can be a pretty pastel or, if your like me a soft taupe/brown, gentle sculpting of the cheeks and a minimal nude lipstick will complete this look.
