Phillip Treacy LFW Slendertone Face




Milliner Philip Treacy will be showing his Spring/Summer 2013 collection at London Fashion Week this month and marks his first return to the London catwalk after a 12 year hiatus. Philip Treacy fans include the Royal Family as well as Lady Gaga and Sarah-Jessica Parker.

Philip Treacy has also created a special edition Slendertone Face to give users a natural facelift from the inside (and look even better when wearing a hat). Both the ‘original’ Slendertone Face and the special edition version harness pioneering electronic muscle stimulating (EMS) technology which stimulates the facial nerves to activate natural muscle contractions and therefore exercise the face.

This lifting and anti-ageing device targets a key contributor to the ageing process – muscle wastage - which starts from the age of thirty. As the facial muscles are directly attached to skin, when they lose mass the attached skin sags and hollows and causes ageing of the face. Slendertone Face is able to restore the youthful shape of the face by toning and lifting the muscles naturally. It also increases the blood flow to the face and within two weeks users report an improvement in their circulation and the boost of a healthy glow.

Philip Treacy’s design for Slendertone Face involved reworking the headset to enlarge the contact pads so that they resemble headphones and which are worn rather like a music headset. He also coloured them a flamboyant and unashamed shade of fusica pink. However it is not just the look of the special edition Slendertone Face which has been enhanced, it now features five different modes; two more than the traditional Slendertone Face device, allowing users to opt for radiance, lift, massage, advanced lift and complexion settings.

Both versions of the Slendertone Face have been specifically created for people who don’t want to have invasive anti-ageing treatments but want to restore the underlying architecture of the face providing a visible and natural face-lift without the need for surgery. Unlike facial freezing (Botox) which actually fosters the atrophication of the muscles and therefore increases the maturing look of the face, this device is designed to help people to ‘use it rather than lose it’!

Slendertone Face by Philip Treacy costs £400 and is available from Slendertone for a limited time, whilst the standard Slendertone Face costs £250 and is also available from Boots.com, Slendertone, and very.co.uk. Have you ever thought about trying the Slendertone Face?

Kate Middleton Royal Wedding

This week the whole world has been caught up in the Kate Middleton & Prince William's Royal Wedding! Of course all eyes were on Kate and her beautiful wedding dress! I thought Kate looked simply stunning in her £40,000 lace and silk made-to-measure Alexander McQueen gown designed by Sarah Burton.

William & Kate

Kate Middleton

Newly Weds: The Duchess and Duke of Cambridge
 Kate surprised everyone by insisting on doing her own wedding makeup as she believes ‘she knows her own face’ and that no makeup artist can make her look better than she can! She has been taking make up lessons from Arabella Preston, and rumour has it Kate has been noting make up tips from watching You Tube videos, I wonder if she also reads any beauty blogs?!

Kate created a light smokey grey taupe eye with her her trademark strong black eyeliner under and above the eye, and used plenty of her favourite Lancome’s Hypnose Mascara to add length and volume to her lashes. Her choice of a rosy pink blush similar to her lipstick colour was stronger than normal but looked elegant and enhanced her glowing skin.

Kate's Makeup
The Duchess’ of Cambridge’s ‘half up, half down’ hair style was created by James Pyrce and her Manicure was done by Marina Sandoval from Jo Hansford, London using a customised mix of Bourjois Number 28 Rose Lounge and Essie Allure polishes.

Question is would you do your own wedding make up or leave it to the experts?

Kate Middleton's Blue Dress

I know you must be sick of hearing about Prince William & Kates Engagement - I know I am!

However, when the royal couple announced their engagement to the world this week, all eyes were on two things: The Ring and Kate's Blue Dress that complimented the sapphire to perfection. There has been alot of admiration for Kate's choice of a simple silk royal blue dress by London based brand Issa. The £349 Issa dress sold out within hours, but if that is a little out of your price-range, Tesco's are bringing out their own take on the dress for a purse-friendly £16*


Jan Marchant said: “Kate Middleton looked extremely elegant in her choice of outfit and many women will want to find a high street replica of this now iconic dress. It’s very versatile – a classic design and perfect for many special occasions. We expect it to sell out fast.”

The dress will be available instore and online from Monday 22nd November. *Prince and sapphire ring not included.
Are you a fan of the royal blue dress?
