Eternally Dashing.
My senisibilities are not generally aligned with designer stubble, but somehow I think Pierce might have a little something to do with my most recent mind shift. How heavenly is he really? L’Oréal Paris is beyond chuffed, I would well imagine, to welcome Pierce Brosnan as the new ambassador for the L’Oréal Paris Men Expert Line. The L’Oréal Paris Men Expert skincare line has been around for a little while now and enjoying the well deserved success of their men’s skincare range, but I strongly suspect they can look forward to a whole lot more with their new handsome and ever-so-dashing spokesman in the midst.
Youcef Nabi, International General Manager of L’Oréal Paris says, “With his unanimously renowned talent and exceptional charisma, Pierce Brosnan seemed an emblematic spokesperson for the L’Oréal Men Expert line. The brilliant, esteemed career of this daring actor is one worthy of much admiration. His self-assurance, allure, and ‘understated’ virility make him an ideal spokesperson for our Men Expert skin care range. Starring as the legendary character James Bond, he brought a unique combination of vitality, presence and seduction to the role that we hope he will also bring to the L’Oréal Men Expert line. Pierce embodies to perfection the Men Expert philosophy: “the future of your skin is in your hands”.
Suave One, L’Oréal!
You’ll Be Sweet!
I have just learned how to make the “sweetest” hair spray at home. What’s even better about this “good enough to eat” hair spray is it’s a 2 ingredient wonder that will provide you with a gentle hold. All you need to make this beauty is a spray bottle, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 4 tablespoons of hot water. Dissolve the sugar in the hot water, transfer to spray bottle, shake well and spritz on as desired. Too easy!
NB. I can vouch for this gorgeous little homemade hairspray’s effectiveness. However, I can’t say with 100% certainty that the ants won’t adore this hairspray as much, if not more than you. Eek! Only kidding!
A BeautiFULL Blast From The Past…
Seeing that we all seem to be still caught up with the merriment of Festive Season, I thought it might be a great opportunity to reacquaint you with of a couple of Get Even More Gorgeous With Beauty Marked! posts of yore that were so nice, they’re worth mentioning twice!
Post Shopping First Aid For The Feet.
As if the crowds and the passive/aggressive Tango-like tussle for last minute Holiday gifts wasn’t madness enough, fingers and toes (if you can bear it) crossed you don’t have to call (or rather feel like you want to call) Emergency Services to resuscitate your fagged out feet. This is the perfect time of the year to make sure you, absolutely, have some Epsom salts and peppermint essential oil on hand if needed to bring your feet back around post shopping. The “too-easy” foot fixing combo of a warm foot soak of Epsom salts with a few drops of quality peppermint essential oils tossed in for good measure ought to have your feet back in fine enough form to face heading back to the shops to pick up that last present for the Auntie Agnes or the Cousin Clancy type you’ve just heard will be joining you on Christmas Day! Eep! Nothing much is ever a problem when your feet are feeling fine. So do remember these handy items along with your “sensible” shoes (if one’s outfit dictates, of course) and you’re sure to stay in good step for the Holiday Season.
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas…
Dooo Do Do do dooo…I dare say it’s probably worth putting up with my woeful singing in order to get the goss on these divine bits of golden Christmas gorgeousness from The Body Shop. The Golden Sparkle Collection LE Make-Up by The Body Shop is just brimming with gleaming metallic shades contrasted with multicolored gem tones that are fully loaded with scintillating shimmeriness which are sure to set your summer ablaze!
Although only one of the palettes are pictured (sorry guys) there are two special edition Metallic Eye & Cheek Palettes on offer in this beautiful Holiday collection. The Palettes offer four smooth, silky and darn near creamy yet powder eyeshadows (no doubt compliments of the Community Trade Marula oil added to all the products in the Collection to moisturize) and one powder blush to support all the breathtaking eye action above.

SO What?!
Beauty Marked! absolutely loves an environmentally aware product, but what we love even more is an environmentally aware product that works. Did you know that Australia’s Salon Only (SO) hair care range absolutely fits this bill? SO hair care products have had a makeover with an environmental focus and repackaged its extensive range created from the expertise of no less than 3 generations of hairdressers! Most would be familiar with SO from its debut in the late 90’s and from its use in any of the 33 SO dedicated preferred product salons across Australia from soon after its inception. Now though, the range has certainly grown and is available currently from over 700 salons nation-wide with its new-look packaging!
So what we love about SO, besides their considerate product range, is the new innovative design changes made to the packaging and the super cool refill system that allows you to rock up to mostly any of 700 SO stockist and refill your empty and fully recyclable SO product bottle and receive an ever so handy $5 AUD off the refill price! Not bad, huh? Nice on your purse and great for the environment. We love that!
To find your nearest stockist, contact SO on 1300 660 680 (within Australia) or visit www.salononly.com.au for so much more.
