Get the beauty treatment of the rich & famous - Sanctuary Covent Garden DIY micro-dermabrasion!

The likes of Hollywood star Gwyneth Palthrow and Irish model Rozanna Purcell commend micro-dermabrasion for a silky unblemished complexion. They get the treatment done regularly as do many  celebrities and models. People go to great extents to feel gorgeous. Black Swan actress Mila Kunis reportedly had a £4,300 facial using rubies and diamonds to remove the top layer of her skin! I thought her recent canoodling with former flame Ashton Kutcher was the reason she was glowing ;)

 These ladies splash the cash in beauty salons but you can enjoy pampering yourself, in a non-harmful manner - at a fraction of the price. You can have the salon experience at home! I adore the Sanctuary Covent Garden range.

I spent €16 on a body butter and micro- dermabrasion kit from the same brand. The texture of the small granules is a lovely sensation and the light exfoliation left my skin feeling fresh, clean and clear. Also, if you apply primer then make up afterwards you will have a really flawless finish. Get Hollywood skin without the hefty price tag and smell appetizing at the same time. Its a win win situation really!

I am an avid fan of the Sanctuary Covent Garden products. They are luxuriant and affordable. I'm in love!



Microdermabrasion targets:

1. Fine lines and wrinkles
2. Crow’s feet
3. Age spots
4. Pigmentation
5. Uneven skin tone

There are many benefits to it such as smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles, smoother skin, unblocked pores and even removed blackheads.


''Microdermabrasion is a highly advanced and effective exfoliation treatment for the face and body. It removes dead skin cells, clears blocked pores and smooths out fine lines and wrinkles. This deep, yet gentle treatment encourages epidermal cell regeneration, improving tone and elasticity leaving you with smoother, more radiant looking skin.''

The sanctuary covent garden micro-dermabrasion kit is available in Boots and selected pharmacies nationwide.

I have some news & reviews Ladies!

Once you try out the sleep rollers (which I would highly recommend) you should think about your nails and how you can make them potentially the most amazing the world has ever seen!
I have designed 'Lipstick Gossip' nails in collaboration with Dolly Nails and I may be prejudiced (definitely) but I think they are the business :)

I have gotten a lot of questions about a dark lipstick I wore to the premiere of 'The Sweeney' during the Summer. It is shade #04 of the Kate Moss Rimmel lipstick range. I love it! It has great staying power and the vamp-lip look is the epitome of style this season.

In fact the entire range is very feminine. If dark lipstick is not your g-string on a chicken wing there is a wide variety of choice in colours for ladies of all tastes.

I really enjoyed company mag the other day. I sat in a cafe and had a vanilla latte in a cup as big as a small bucket and trawled through the pages. I loved the 'fashion speak' vocab list. You dolls should pick it up. I love when magazines are handbag sized.

I am ridiculously excited about my street style photoshoot with Stellar magazine tomorrow. At 5'3 this will be a day where I will feel like a tall lady & channel the fabulous crazy 'Tyra Banks smiling with my eyes mantra' !!! :-) I am wondering what to wear in light of embracing Autumn and whether I should go for a sleek high ponytail or wavy locks! If this is my biggest issue things are looking good. I am a huge fan of Stellar magazine so tomorrow is a pretty cool event.

I hope everyone is having a lovely week! And remember..

Be Bold, Be Brave & misbehave.

Threw me for a 'Looper' @ the Film Fest!

I recently attended the Film Fest hosted in Cineworld Dublin. Many films, previews and trailers were aired exclusively at the event which was the place to be for cinephiles nationwide. I covered the Film Fest for www.afterdark.ie My review of 'Looper' is now up online.

Click here to read the review of 'Looper' which hits Irish cinemas September 28th.

The make-up special effects were amazing in the film. Joseph Gordon Levitt looked remarkably believable as a young Bruce Willis.
