As much as I love playing with hair and beauty products, the thought of adding hair extensions – clip by clip – has me feeling bored before I even attempt to clip one in. That’s why when I heard of this ‘halo hair’ concept from a company called Effortless Extensions, I knew I had to try it out. Instead of added length and volume coming from clips/tape/glue/(etcetera), a weft of hair is kept in place by an invisible band that sits underneath the top layer of your hair. The hair is synthetic, but you can wash it, curl it, flat...
At-home lasers are quite a frightening concept, no? They were for me. In fact, lasering myself is something that I would have never wished to embark on before ReAura. Then, this little skincare miracle came along. If you have yet to hear of Philips’ Reaura – let me give you the lowdown. The Reaura is an absolutely revolutionary anti-ageing programme that delivers the benefits of professional laser treatments.

An electrifying song about desire and abandon, to which Liv brings a modern, elegant, sensual touch. To mark this new episode in the Very Irrésistible Givenchy saga, the brand has concocted a fragrance, at once radiant...
Excuse the bedhead. Though I never do “Face of The Day” (FOTD) posts, I have found a new discovery that I want to share! I wanted my makeup to be quite feminine and Mother’s Day-friendly today, but – as I am rocking weekend laziness – wanted to make no effort.
