Gwen Stefani, Marilyn Monroe, Christina Aguillera, Scarlett Johannson and Dita Von Teese rock the red lipstick look and their seductive ruby red pouts look fantastic on the red carpet. No matter what skin tone or hair colour you have, there is a red lipstick shade out there for you. Below are a selection for you to try out:

Nars Lipstick in Jungle Red
Chanel Rouge Hydrabase Creme in Fire
Estée Lauder Hydra Lustre Lipstick in Rich Red
MAC Lipstick in Russian Red

Did you also know that:
Red also means “Beautiful” in Russian.
The word “ruby” comes from the Latin word rubens, meaning “red”.
Seeing the color red can make your heart beat faster.
Fashion experts recommend at least a splash of red when dressing for a job interview or any other important meeting, because red symbolizes power, decisiveness and leadership.

Nude Lips

MAC Creme d’Nude
Jemma Kidd ‘Belle De Jour
Revlon Mauve It Over
Dior Diorama
NARS Belle de Jour

If you are going for the nude lip look, then remember to define your lips using a lip pencil that is a shade or two deeper than your skin tone. If you havent got the budget for a lipstick, then try using concealer that is two shades darker than your skin tone. Try to steer clear of thick cream concealers as they will only cake your lips. Apply the concealer with a lip brush and blend with the lip liner so that you have a nice clean finish.

Hot Pink Lips

Complementary Health – it’s in the Stars ….

10 May

Following our May newsletter and the focus on celebrities that love a bit of holistic health, see below for some sometimes surprising and other times unbelievable therapies that the VIP’s like

Handy with a ball or two, Homeopathy has been used by Boris Becker, Martina Navratalova and Pamela Anderson. Tony Blair’s no stranger either! So is Olivia Newton-John and Cindy Crawford. I’ve used homeopathy in place of maleria pills in India. Didn’t get Maleria, but I was a bit nervous about it! Arnica’s great to for bruises.

It is rumored that Margaret Thatcher owed much of her energy to Ayervedic Medicine! Find out more here

Demi Moore uses Klamath Lake algae I’ve used super foods before – they’re so great. I like Kiki’s Mother Nature super food. A teaspoon in a juice in the morning and my energy was completely amazing every day! Hair grows quickly and skin looks radiant and amazing. Reminds me I must get some more. Sheryl Crow’s Eskimo Diet is an unusual one I think this is a variation on the atkins diet which is essentially low carb and high in protein.

I love Kate Moss and I love it that she uses Acupuncture because i’m a big fan. The more I have treatment the more amazed I am at the range of conditions it can treat: tiredness, digestive problems, musculo skeletal, immune, depression, pmt, you name it.

We’re pleased to partner with Vita Coco on our newsletter celebrity prize draw. Gwynyth Paltrow cites Vita Coco coconut water as one of her key lifestyle choices, as do Madonna, Sienna Miller, Demi Moore and indeed Nicole Scherzinger tweeted about Vita Coco just last week as well.

Let us know your favourite complementary health treatments. With all the benefits of being healthy, we don’t have to be stars to feel like one!
