Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Make-up

As a Giorgio Armani fan, I was delighted to hear about their new make-up solution. Ten years ago, Giorgio Armani changed the face of make-up creating Luminous Silk foundation, a lightweight, silky fluid that brings a natural glow. Since then, weightless textures that you can blend and layer indefinitely to enhance your radiance became the signature Armani Glow.

In 2012, after eight years of research, Giorgio Armani Cosmetics introduces a new face make-up category.

Traditional foundations are usually emulsions with water in oil containing fillers. Those fillers can produce a visible masking effect. Maestro was created with four out-of-the box principles, delivering a result never seen before:

-        A water and powder-free base

-        Non-comodogenic

-        5 time-released oils evaporating gradually

-        Smart pigment technology

-        An easy, fast, fresh and flawless application with an unforgettable sensory feel

The Fusion makeup technology delivers the thinnest colour film that blends perfectly and corrects skin imperfections without buildup.

An elliptical shaped bottle and luxurious, black lacquered dropper delivers the fusion make-up drop by drop for custom-controlled make-up application. The liquid, ultra-fine texture immediately blends into the skin on application. Easy to apply, easy to build, easy to wear. 

Maestro is THE make-up to wear at the upcoming fashion week to illuminate every room.

Smile & Make-up makeover

I love to dazzle at events and parties and what is most important to me is flawless skin and make-up and a shining smile. I am thus that much more excited about the cooperation of Covent Garden Dental Spa and Shu Uemura brand, which give you the smile makeover package, which will make you the star of every social event. 

First you experience a thorough Diamond Sparkle Polish hygiene clean, followed with a brightening at-home, or in-surgery Teeth Whitening treatment (optional) by a highly qualified dentist at Covent Garden Dental Spa. You will then be treated to a flawless professional one-hour makeover session using premium cosmetics from the shu uemura collection at its store just a few doors down. They not only specialize in the best make-up products, but also in extravagant false eyelashes worn by celebrities. The package will also include the perfect lipstick match to accentuate your bright, white and beautiful smile.

Charity Pot

The Charity Pot

As much as I love spending on a glass of bubbly and lush afternoon teas, nothing is more satisfying than knowing I can buy my favourite products while also donating to charity. Lush's Charity Pot is a luxurious hand and body lotion where ALL proceeds go to grass root groups working in areas such as conservation, green transport, environmental issues, animal welfare and protection of human rights. 

Charity Pot is made with Fairtrade organic cocoa butter and almond oil to leave skin soft and smooth.  Beautifully healing and cleansing essential oils, such as geranium oil and tagetes oil, are blended together with ylang ylang to not only nourish the skin, but to also leave it smelling divine. 

Knowing that by buying it, I am involved as well –  the whole amount goes into Lush's Charity Pot Fund. Recently supported groups from sales of Charity Pot have included; Bring Back British Rail, Dignity for Asylum Seekers, Dogstar Foundation, London Mining Network and Re Cycle.
