Is it me or do these metallic (????) brows actually look pretty cool? Fashionista.com muses they’re surprised Gaga didn’t do them first. The bizarre beauty look was featured on model Leslie Wilcox photographed by Yvonne Taylor for QVEST magazine. Lauretta J. McCoy directed the beauty on the shoot, and most of the makeup is MAC.
The old theory was that cellulite was caused by toxins building up under the skin, but that’s probably not true. It’s more likely to be the result of poor skin structure, causing the fibres to split. This means fat and, yes, possibly toxins squish out through the holes in the fibres, creating that lumpy effect. In other words, your bottom is rather like an old mattress with the stuffing sticking out! Chances are the problem is genetic, and lies with the X chromosome (only women have this, which would explain why men don’t get cellulite). While all this may mean cellulite isn’t your fault, reducing its appearance is within your control. Strengthening the skin fibres, plumping the skin’s surface and breaking down the stubborn fat and ‘toxin’ deposits can help minimize the look of cellulite. Here’s our list of top techniques. (more…)

Feeling confident about your body is one of the most beautiful states any woman can be in. However, as we know only too well, tanning comes at a price. Exposing yourself to the sun’s ultraviolet rays ages the skin, adding up to 20 years to how you’ll look by the time you reach your forties. On a more serious note, sunbathing can kill you by promoting a very serious form of skin cancer called malignant melanoma. Faking a tan is therefore one of the best things you can do for your body in terms of both beauty and health. In this article GirlzNight will show you how.

And soon there I was – sat under an avalanche of distressed cotton balls, muttering my new mantra, the essential two steps of skincare; moisturising and cleansing.
There is however the forgotten third step of skincare – toning.
