TOP NEW RANGES, TREATMENTS AND NEWS FROM THE WORLD OF MAKEUP, SKINCARE AND FRAGRANCE
This is the time of year you want to look your best. With so many parties you need to look fabulous 24/7. There’s the Christmas work do, where you just have to upstage you colleagues, then festive drinks with your friends, where your ex just might show up − and that’s not even counting Christmas day itself! So I have put together a list of the Coast’s top beauty treatments to make you really sparkle this Christmas.
Luscious Locks
Make your hair the talking point of the party. I always think Christmas time calls for an elaborate hair up style, so why not put your tresses in the extremely capable hands of celebrity hairstylist Jonathan Yeadon, at the glamorous L’Avenue salon. He can create anything from a simple, elegant chignon to an abstract piece of art. Why not update your hair colour while you’re at it and knock years off your age. I spent three years searching for the best colourist on the Coast and since finding Jonathan I have stuck to him like a leech, as much as he’s tried to get rid of me. If your hair is looking a little on the limp side of life, never fear: Margarita Vidal is your answer. The Coast’s leading hair extensions technician has now moved to L’Avenue and can give you the movie star hair you’ve always dreamed of. She uses Great Lengths technology for the application of 100 per cent human hair strands. Need more persuading? L’Avenue are offering 10 per cent off all beauty and nail treatments for the month of December.

TIP: Mix some glitter or highlighter with your body moisturiser. Use on arms, legs and décolleté to give a festive glow.
Saving Face
For kisses under the mistletoe, make sure your skin is as sparkling as a glass of Cristal. Head to Mi & Ma, the new luxury hair and beauty salon, for a facial to die for. Using Guinot products, top beautician Michaela will have you glowing in no time at all. Guinot is a salon-exclusive French skincare range available only through specially-appointed salons and spas worldwide This pampering luxury facial includes cleanse, tone, deep extraction, a sleep inducing massage and a mask specially designed for your skin type. Any tension or liquid on the face will be drained away with lymphatic massage creating a lifting effect. Michaela never leaves her clients on their own, so while you’re relaxing with your mask you can enjoy a head, hand or foot massage. Ahh bliss.
Body Beautiful
Ladies with thigh-skimming cocktail dresses and skin-tight tailored trousers on the fashion hit list… you’re going to have to get your pins in great shape FAST! Atracción Plus are offering a special deal on their STS treatment. STS (Subdermal Therapy System) is the most effective solution for the treatment of cellulite and localised fat, thanks to a combination of the latest cosmetic technologies which produce the best results in the fewest number of sessions. The Controlled Vacuum Therapy promotes the movement and elimination of localised fat, which in turn stimulates blood circulation and improves skin elasticity and quality; while the ultrasound tones the skin and improves tissue elasticity − especially effective in cellulite treatment. Kiss goodbye to that orange peel and say hello to firmer, smoother skin. For lovers of the Germaine de Capuccini range, when you buy two products you will receive a stunning black vanity case. Perfect for those weekends away.

TIP: False eyelashes add a touch of Hollywood glamour to any look. MAC‘s range is flutter-fantastic.
Beauty Is A Gift
While treating yourself to one of Reflections’ signature treatments why not pick up some Christmas pressies at the same time. With every Christmas gift purchase you will receive a Bounce Back Voucher which entitles you to 15 per cent off advance anti-ageing facials in January. For her, there is the Dream Journey Traveller. Presented in a luxury travel bag and gift box this 11-piece discovery collection is complete with all the Elemis skin and body care solutions, including Pro-Collagen Oxygenating, Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial Wash Night Cream and Pro-Collagen Marine Cream Spoil the other half with Precision Skincare for Men, the ultimate three-phase grooming programme. The gift box contains Ice-Cool Foaming Shave Gel, Energising Skin Scrub, Daily Moisture Boost, Deep Cleanse Facial Wash and Post Shave Recovery Mask. My favourite is the Twilight Trio Candle Companions presented in a special travel case. It comes in three different aromas: Exotic Spice with the aroma of Orange, Clove, Sage and Cinnamon; Woodland Wild containing Cedarwood and Eucalyptus; and the relaxing Black Tea candle of Bergamot, Rose, Geranium and base notes of smoky woods.
