Smooth Skin Gold: IPL permenant hair removal device

 

Smooth Skin Gold IPL device: £299.99 available at Boots

I've recently been reading into IPL devices a lot lately and they really interested me.
basically an IPL device uses Intense Pulsed Light technology to deactivate the hair folecules that are in the growth stage, as not all of our hair grows at the same time the hair that is in the resting stage will then grow through and you use it again to deactivate those hair folecules. This is not an immediate permanent solution you will need to carry on using the device for a solid 12 weeks and then only when needed and you should see a significant decrease in hair growth! Brilliant right!?
And it's painless and doesn't cause any irritating ugly shaving rash which is amazing!

The only downside is that it can not be used on all skin tones (most not all) so check before you buy!
Another great thing about the IPL devices is that you do not have to wait for your hair to grow to be able to use it, unlike epilating or waxing, which means no more awkward hairy legs between uses!

It's recommended to do a skin patch test just to check your skin is suitable and you wont have any adverse reactions.

I was recently lucky enough to get my hands on the Smooth Skin gold IPL device which is unique in this market as it adapts the IPL to your skin tone as well as having a sensitive setting which is amazing! this device can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight so do expose treated skin to direct sunlight after use and always use an SPF (which you should use out in the sun anyway).

I am really excited to start using this device and see the results and I will be sure to keep you updated!

don't forget to like comment and follow, also let me know if you've used any devices similar to this one and how you've got on!

Thanks for reading

RED-dy To Face The Day

The products that I used to create this look.

Products used:

• Collection lasting perfection concealer in Fair 1
• Rimmel stay matte primer
• Barbara Daly long wear eye shadow in shell (light champagne shimmer) and shimmer sands (warm pinky-nudey shimmer)
• Carmex moisturising lip balm in cherry
• NYX powder blush in Terracotta
• Rimmel London Lash Accelerator mascara in black
• Benefit Gimme Brow in Light/Medium
• Rimmel London Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner in 024-Red Diva

 

 

despite popular beliefs red lips are not just for A/W but are,  in fact perfect for spring and summer when paired with a bare face (the look I went for today) or a smokey eye if you are off to somewhere special.

 

the pictures I have taken of this makeup look really does not do the lip liner justice, it's a beautiful show stopping orangey, red yet it still has undertones of blue (don't ask me how that is possible) which means it suits almost everyone! Because I used a lip liner to fill in my whole lips it will stay put for hours and the Rimmel exaggerate liners feel lovely and light on the lips compared to other liners - so no Sahara desert like lips here! at only £3.99 it's cheaper then most lipsticks and is the perfect bargain buy!

 

I love pairing a bright lip with an almost bare face as I find I don't need as much coverage on my face as I normally would (therefore conserving foundation - it's expensive when your a student!) as the bright lip distract from this and can make any lazy makeup and hair combo look put together like you've spent at least an hour on your appearance when in fact it only took you 10 minutes!

 

 

What's your favourite way to wear a red lip and what products do you like to use to achieve this look? let me know in the comments!

Currently Lusting after: DKNY Be Delicious City Blossom Urban Violet

DKNY Be Delicious Urban Violet £37

 

 

Oh Donna Karan you have done it again and just in time for spring! Now I'm not normally a fragrance person as I think they are quite overpriced for the amount of product that you get and you're mainly just paying for the brand...

But I have been converted!

 

I had just strolled into my local boots when I noticed a trio of beautiful looking new Limited edition DKNY perfumes Rooftop peony (Pink), Empire Apple (green) and my favourite Urban violet (purple).



 

 

The DKNY website describes urban violet as "The fresh fragrance of Urban Violet captures the spirit of a flowering oasis in the heart of New York City. The urban dream blends bursts of mandarin with delicious apple blossom and delicate violet to create an intoxicatingly vibrant, sensual experience" now who wouldn't to wear that!?

 

As I am currently on a spending ban (as I have previously mentioned I have a shopping problem) this would make the perfect birthday gift for my birthday in April (not so subtle) hint, hint!

 

it's the perfect fresh, not to floral spring fragrance that I can see my self wearing non-stop!

 

 

What's your perfect spring scent? let me know down in the comments!
