Tundra Natural and shimmering shades Tval Skincare has released a new makeup line for Spring 2008 called Tundra. It includes both natural and shimmering shades, with inspiration taken from nature.

Tundra includes:
● 3 eyshadows in shimmering, muted, gorgeous colors;
● 8 lip colors including a flattering sheer corallip glaze and a clear, glass-like gloss with copper sparkles;
● 1 gorgeous Illuminating Dusting Powder in Pink Snow-flakes;
● finally 2 new foundation shades have been added: N.1 and N.0, fair neutral shades that work perfectly on pale complexions.

Why not try a whole new look? This one to the right is called “Temptress” and includes with an olive green shimmer around your eyes, a sweep of dusty pink on brow bones, a dusting of illuminating pale pink powder on your cheeks and a beigy pink shimmer on lips.

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Apply foundation with a brush or sponge. Or mix the foundation with your moisturizer for a natural dewy look.
2. Sweep Barren all over your upper lid, and use the same colour to line around your eyes. Use the eyeshadow dry for a lighter wash of colour. Then apply Little Heart’s Ease on your brow bone, concentrating on the outer corner of your eyes.
3. Apply Pink Snowflakes Illuminating Dusting Powder on your cheeks with a fluffy big brush. You can also sweep the brush over the bridge of your nose, chin and under your eyebrows.
4. Apply Quill lip gloss on lips and you are done!

All products are from Tval’s new Spring line, Tundra.

Nowadays, we all are aware that the environment we live in is full of pollutants, additives, preservatives and other nasty things that officially turn our cities into toxic wastelands. If you don’t think there are toxins in the air, in our food, in the water - you are mistaken.
Add our stress levels, sedentary jobs and bad eating habits. The first resulting sign is that we tend to become tired and rundown. But over a period of time, these effects build up and emerge in many different forms - from passing infections, skin eruptions, headaches & digestive problems to serious health conditions.
But there are ways in which we can help decrease the levels of toxic substances in our bodies: detoxify.

The first rule: drink-drink-drink. No, put down that Cosmopolitan girl, we mean water.
Water is Mother Nature’s first and best detox ingredient, and is crucially important to support your body while eradicating all toxins out of your body.

Give your body a breathing spell, and let your face, your hair, your feet, and your whole body cleanse and restore a more balanced state.

Unwanted imperfections, breakouts and spots are a sign that some deep cleansing is needed, both inside and out. So the inevitable cut-back is on but while do your inner detoxify, think about tweaking your skincare regime to a more deep-cleansing one.
On our way to purification, we’ve encountered & loved Skyn Iceland Detox Kit for Stressed Skin. Stress deprives skin of nutrients, moisture and oxygen. And when skin is starved, it’s less supple, drier, more prone to irritation, inflammation and premature aging. The Skyn Iceland Detox Kit gives stressed skin a fighting chance. Over the course of five days, these four products work in harmony to help heal exhausted, irritated and depleted skin so it emerges soft, clear, fresh and glowing. The kit includes: Arctic Face Mist, Oxygen Infusion Night Cream, the ANTIDOTE Quenching Daily Lotion and the Glacial Face Wash - all with Biospheric Complex, Skyn Iceland’s proprietary blend that combines the best of nature with the latest in technology to help soothe, heal and restore skin.

A girl’s guide to BIG hair

It’s back: full-body, pumped-up, sexy hair.
Lacking-body hair is often fine, dull, and may easily become greasy and limp. Sensitive to humidity and static electricity, fine and limp hair have difficulty holding any style. That’s why it needs specific products and specific tricks.
And if you’re thinking, I don’t want big hair, I want straight hair, remember that even straight styles need volume to keep them from looking lifeless and flat.

Before blowing dry, use a root lifter from midshaft to root.
For maximum results, lift sections of hair upward as you blowdry, directing the hot air (not too hot, please) directly toward your scalp. This dries the roots in an upright and lifted position.
Instead of teasing your hair with a comb, use a flat-backed brush which will damage your hair less since its bristles are spaced apart more widely.

We’ve loved Frederik Fekkai’s Instant Root Lifting Spray: it lifts hair from the roots and quickly creates fullness and bounce. A perfect product for fine, thin or flat hair. An emollient blend of pro-vitamin B5 and botanical extracts yarrow, oak root, kukui and cherry bark nourish and protect the hair. Enriched with thickening agents that are deposited onto the hair shaft to volumize and deliver a lustrous radiant mane.

Backstage beauty at Agnes B: Sonia Deveny uses Organic Glam Sonia Deveny, Chief Makeup Artist at the Agnes B show, chose Organic Glam - the UK eco-friendly cosmetics line by The Organic Pharmacy - to create Agnes’s vision: “She wanted the girls to look healthy, glowing with an edge of Parisian chic.”
Backstage at the Spring/Summer 08 Agnes B collection it was all about flushed cheeks and nude lips.

Step by step, this is what Sonia did, so you can recreate the same runway chic look:
• To create the luminous skin essential to the models’ look Sonia Deveny mixed a bit of Sheer Tint in Ivory Glow with Antioxidant Foundation.
• She used OG blush in Peach on the apples of the cheeks and Peach shadow from the nude palette all over eye lid with Matt Brown on the outer corners and under blending well.
• Highlight shimmer in Silver Ice on the inner corners of the eye and along brow bone and cheek bones created the fresh dewy look.
• Nude lipstick on conditioned lips creates the fresh, healthy glow essential this spring.
