Sebastian Professional Shaper Plus is the one to bouf, I mean beat. Sebastian Professional Shaper Plus Hairspray delivers true, touchable, extra-hold, humidity resistant control. No self respecting Countess of Coif worth her salt would ever consider being without a trusted can of hairspray for her tresses. Sebastian Professional Shaper Plus is just the iconic styling tool you’re after. What you’ll get when using Sebastian Professional Shaper Plus Hairspray is hair with added body, steadfast direction and immaculate lift and hold. Not to mention the quick drying Shaper Plus is simply legendary when it comes to medium and heavier textured hair, allowing it to maintain the same long-lasting loft as those with feather-weight locks without being sticky in the least. Not bad, ay?

All That Glitters Is Not Gold.
But a gorgeous little silvery number as well. Zoya Trixie is the hottest colour for polish we’ve seen this season. Some say silver is the new black. My take on silver is that it translates as black’s edgier sister. Zoya’s newest nail lacquer colour, Trixie, is street smart, glam, and totally on trend. Short and squared nails are transported instantly out of the stratosphere when sporting Zoya Professional Nail Lacquer in Trixie. Trixie is made of the same divine formulation that we have come to know and love from Zoya. As always, Zoya polishes are free of industrial chemicals like toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) for those who are concerned about some of the possible naughties that can find themselves in nail polishes. We love that!

Spoilt For Choice.
And not before time, I say. L’Oréal Paris introduces De-maq’ expert to our beauty-FULL world. The L’Oréal Paris De-maq’ expert range is designed to aptly address our need for highly effective makeup removing cleansers that are tailored to our skin’s concerns while being able to stand up to the super pigmented, long wearing makeup we adore. L’Oréal Paris De-maq’ expert range consists of 5 professional formulas which have been adapted to suit the needs and desires of a variety of women and have been both ophthalmologically and dermatologically tested. Each product in the L’Oréal Paris De-maq’ expert range boasts outstanding efficacy when faced with even the most stubborn makeup and leaves the skin feeling supple and, most importantly, immaculately cleansed.
The L’Oréal Paris De-maq’ expert range:
Cashmere Milk Complete Make-up Remover- This soft formula is for individuals who find water too harsh on their skin and who are looking for maximum benefit and comfort.
Gel-créme Mousse Expert Make-up Remover- This cleanser uses the TIP technology (Temperature Inversion Phase) on a traditional oil-in-water emulsion, to create a formula containing a large quantity of oil dispersed in microscopic droplets. This is specially developed for those who prefer wash-off products that act to dissolve all traces of makeup without drying the skin.
Elixir Concentrated Gel Make-up Remover- For those using long-hold makeup such as waterproof mascara, lipstick, and long lasting foundations. The transparent oil-in-water mix transforms into a white milky lotion on contact with water.
“Milk to Toner” 2 in 1 Make-up Remover- This product was specially designed for those who prefer makeup removing milks and the effect of a toner. On application, this cleanser goes on thick and creamy, but when massaged in, it transforms into a milky toner that comprehensively removes makeup while toning in a single step.
Ultra Rich Make-up Removing Wipes- These are the perfect travel companion for those wanting to save time or for those who simply prefer wipes. De-maq’ expert wipes gently remove makeup without drying the skin.
What a fabulous selection! L’Oréal Paris De-maq’ expert range is available from August 2007 and available from selected pharmacies, department and variety stores nationally. And yes, you are so worth it! *wink*

Make A Pearly Pit Stop!
I mean, why not? I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the effective delights of Nivea Deodorant Pearl & Beauty For Beautiful Underarms for a little while now. No, it doesn’t actually make your underarms shimmer with a pearlescent brilliance (not that I’d mind if it did), but it does, indeed, deliver the perfect touch of pearl extracts to nourish and support the skin via the many minerals it contains. Nivea’s Pearl & Beauty range is available in both spray and roll on and is colour and alcohol free. You can use this dermatologically tested gem after shaving, as well as, expect it to deliver long-lasting freshness. Nivea Pearl & Beauty deodorant is just that mild while remaining gloriously effective. Plus, I must admit, I’m a sucker for anything that claims to be for “beautiful underarms”, simply because one mustn’t ever pass on an opportunity to beautify. Right?
Fancy A Little Bit More Matte2?
I was able to get my hot little hands on the product shot of the shadows that are to accompany that beyond divine beauty shot of M.A.C’s Matte2 collection due to hit counters October 08, 2007. Not bad, huh? I suspect these delectable Matte2 shadows are Clarity, Brown Script, and Poste Haste. Don’t quote me, but that would, indeed, be they, if my memory serves me correctly. Anyways, this is just a little something to keep you going. *wink*
