TUESDAY'S TIP BITS

'Tip of the Week'

                                                            I wanted to tip you off on a product that is popping up everywhere in the USA beauty blogs I read and it's called 'My Spring It'.

Well what the yell is it?  My Spring It is a tool that allows you to remove facial hair - at home - fuss free.  If you look at the picture you can see it is a coiled spring that when applied in a rolling motion (see demo video) it will remove hairs from the root - even fine downy hair that is hard to see with plucking.

My only issue is that I dont' see how you can be precise when removing eyebrow hair (you would obviously need to tidy up with tweezers) but it is great for facial hair (cheeks, chin, lip).

You can order yours from the My Spring It website for $15.99 with $2.00 International shipping and an offer is on for buy 3 get 4th free.

 'Word Of The Week'

PEPTIDES

I am going to give you a very basic definition of what a peptide is and to do that I first of all need to talk to you about collagen. 

Collagen put simply plumps and firms your skin.  External factors such as sun exposure, smoking and pollution destroy collagen resulting thinner skin and wrinkles.  You naturally produce more collagen when you are younger and this reduces with age - that is why you show signs of ageing.

Certain peptides are released when collagen breaks down and the peptides send a message for your body to produce more collagen.  Scientists have replicated the peptides and placed them in beauty products so when applied to your skin, your body see's this as a message to produce more collagen ergo more youthful plump and line free skin.

'Haul Of The Week'

I haven't bought much this week except for 4 sets of lashes by Ardell at Boots (about £5 a set).  They are 100% human hair and after buying a set of the 110's for myself I was very impressed so got some to  use on my clients at the weekend.  I bought Fairies, 105's, 110's and individual medium black lashes. I would recommend the 105's for 'going out makeup' they are nice and full.

Have you bought anything this week you would like to share with us? Comment or write on the My Life in Makeup Group Wall :O)
