I'm a big fan of Airbrush makeup as every time I have it done (mainly when I'm making TV appearances) my skin takes on a luminescent flawless glow. A couple of quick spritzes and my skin becomes smooth and peachy looking, and all I need to do is add some blush and blend the edges slightly.

Shhh I have a secret! I have found a true miracle combination to prepare the skin for spring and that soon to come summer sun. I started off with the Sea Salt Glow Cinnamon & Lime Scrub which is totally heavenly and has a number of purifying properties from natural Australian sea salt with various natural oils. My skin just felt absolutely bloody amazing I have to say I would recommend this scrub to everyone it left my skin glowing with a silky soft touch.
I moved on to the Body Hydrator with Emu Oil and was left totally surprised when my skin was left softer than I could have imagined. I have used this regularly now and the Body Hydrator with Emu Oil has natural soothing, firming and moisturising qualities. It has some amazing properties and is able to actually penetrate the epidermis which could possibly reverse aging. It transforms rough dry skin into soft, smooth, repaired and totally renewed so is ideal to use during the Spring/Summer months. I have let you in on 2 essential products for your Spring/Summer months....come on Sun!

Diane Kruger definitely had one of the most daring and complicated updos at the Academy Awards in a sea of simple, classic hairstyles. Her avant-garde look definitely echoed her fashion-forward Chanel gown, and helped her beauty hold its own against a statement-making dress.

I try many hair products as part of my job, but it's rare that I find one that stands out in the way this one did. Part of the HealthySexyHair range, the Soy Renewal nourishing styling treatment (quite a mouthful to say) is a fantastic stand alone product.
Suitable for use on wet or dry hair, you simply smooth a little onto the hair shaft, and voila, instant sleekness and softness. It really is that simple. The product is dispensed in a yellow tinted oil formulation, so be careful when using for the first time as a little really goes a long way. You may need to experiment with how much to use, as if you over apply (as with serums) the hair can feel a little greasy.
