Gaining the golden look this summer, with the help of The Body Shop

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Wakefield Trinity Walk store earlier last month, for a revitalizing make over by the manager himself, Lee.

Before the makeover began, I had my face cleansed, with a product, which I am in shock I have never seen before within The Body Shop (as it is now 100% a part of my daily routine)

Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter
This beautiful balm, will last you ages, you take a small amount, rub within your fingers and then all over your face, eyes, lips… wherever you girls put your make up! And it breaks it all down, easily enough to wipe away, if you don’t believe me, try it for yourself! This is definitely effortless for the hardest of make up to remove!  Amazing value at just £12.00.



  
To help give your face that beautiful glow before even applying any makeup, Lee then reached for the ‘Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser' if like me you always thought that Vitamin C mainly came from oranges, then you will be shocked to find out that, The Body Shop have found a wonderful ingredient, ‘Camu Camu Berry’ which has up to 60 times the Vitamin C of an Orange. Which works wonders for keeping our skin taught and soft. As the summer months move in close, we need to remember to take care of our skin and with the special formula within this moisturiser you will be good to go. It feels absolutely amazing! I’ve had a few hangovers myself this May, due to the Bank holiday we had at the start and a busy time at my Sister in laws wedding, this really helped to bring my skin back to life after all the dehydration I had caused myself. I can understand why a lot of people wouldn’t want to spend £16.00 on a moisturiser as there are a lot out there for less, but I would recommend this product more so because it does really work. My skin has started to feel a lot healthier, as well as look it too.



If you are into the ‘Dewy’ skin look when your foundation is on, then I would recommend this look for you, I would also say this product is perfect for the more mature skin, as it can help with fine lines and wrinkles.


There’s a few products within the new Vitamin C range, so be sure to have a look at what works best for you, this is just one of my personal favourites.


New for summer 2015, The Body Shop has released a range named ‘Honey Bronze’ perfect for the sun goddesses.



Honey Bronze™ Face Gel

If you are pale… like me (practically mirroring Casper) then ideally I would say to mix the following product in with your foundation, it gives a natural glow to your skin, and gives a tanned effect without the nasty consequences to your face!

It’s a steal at £13.00 as this product will last you a while as you only need a minimal amount, this product also washes off easily. So you wouldn’t need to worry about it lasting if it was for a short term event.



Honey Bronze™ Highlighting Dome
For contouring, I would recommend the highlighting dome, which again will last you forever, as there is quite a lot of product within this small container. The best thing about this product is it comes in 3 different shades; my personal favourite is the ‘Golden’ shade as it goes well with a Smokey brown/gold eye as you can see from the before and after pics below. This costs only £8.00.




There are a few more items to the Honey Bronze range that I would recommend you to look into this summer, as well as the mist and the bronzer as they all work hand in hand…. Keep your glow alive.


These are the before and after pictures of my make over below;



Until the next blog, go out and enjoy the sun.

True Beauty Academy, Pontefract.

Hello my beauty’s






 










I thought I would give you some inside information on an academy I have recently been studying one day accredited courses with. As they are Babtac accredited, the courses they offer are popularly recognised amongst the beauty industry.






To say I never thought I would like the beauty industry as much as I have been doing, I am definitely feeling like I am getting somewhere with my career heading in the right direction. 

I first got in touch with Chelsy (the recruited manager for True Academy) in relation to becoming accredited on gel nail application. I have felt passionate towards nail art for the past few years, but needed to obtain a certificate to start doing my gel nail services on more than just my friends and family, and to cover me for insurance purposes.




Upon requesting information, I have also become aware of other courses that the academy also provides, I have listed these below;

Manicure
Pedicure
Gel Polish
Waxing
Intimate Waxing
Spray Tan
Enhance Appearance of Eyelashes & Eyebrows
Eyelash Extensions
Facials
Full Body Massage
Hot Stone Massage

I am also aware of other accredited courses coming up within the next few months, so keep an eye out on their website for further information www.truebeautyacademy.co.uk


As part of a deal they had running; I managed to attend two courses for £150.00 alongside gel nail application, I also chose to study the Spray Tan course, which works hand in hand with body painting, which I will be studying in September 2015 on my media make up course.



Chelsy is a patient ray of sunshine, alongside her friendly personality she’s also there to help and give advice after the course has finished.  She has plenty of experience when it comes to the land of beauty, which should reassure you (she really does know what she is talking about!!!) I find that attempting other courses alongside Beauty Therapy Level 2 that it has also opened my eyes to what other treatments are popular.
I learnt a few interesting facts whilst at the academy, and if you didn't already know… the first acrylic nail was founded by a dentist! In fact most of the beauty products are founded by doctors and dentists in the first instance. 



So if you are looking to start a hobby, or even further your beauty career, I would highly recommend True Beauty Academy, as they are professional and really make you feel at ease. Why not get in contact yourself? Or have a treatment by one of the experienced beauticians yourself at their salon based in Wakefield.




Thank you for reading, any questions just ask, or speak to the academy yourself.
Until my next post, remember to stay beautiful.
