BLEND BABY BLEND

We’re totally in love with the genius Beauty Blender makeup applicator invented by celebrity makeup artist Rea Ann Silva. The Beauty Blender has won multiple awards for its ability to create a flawless movie-star finish and is being hailed by professionals and at-home beauties around the globe…

The ingenious conical shape ensures perfect coverage – the pointed end is great for blending around your nose while the oval base works wonders on your cheeks and forehead.

Rea Ann Silva’s resume in the entertainment industry lists a virtual “Who’s Who” of Music, Film, TV and red carpet stars. She developed the Beauty Blender during the advent of high definition video, as an alternative to air-brushing the stars.

Rea Ann originally developed the applicator for professionals, but soon realised it could help all women; ‘Application is the biggest hurdle women have.  The Beauty Blender means you can use any makeup and put it on like a pro the very first time.’

The Beauty Blender is now sold around the world. In New Zealand, it is exclusively available at East Day Spa Auckland (the Beauty Blender Pack, which includes cleanser and sponge is $59.00 and the single Beauty Blender is $30.00).

HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR MOLES LATELY?

It’s been a horrendous summer in New Zealand so far but don’t let the lack of rays make you complacent when it comes to skin safety.  You need sunscreen even on dreary old days and ideally you should have your moles checked yearly to avoid deadly melanoma and skin cancers…

Go Fake

Stock up on the fake tan folks, new research suggests it could be saving lives. A study conducted in the US recently revealed that women who use fake tanning products are reducing their exposure to the sun. We recommend and stock That’s So Tan in a Can for a natural, streak-free finish.

Sun Downunder

Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, while New Zealand has the highest rate of melanoma (which is the deadliest form of skin cancer).

In New Zealand, more than 2000 cases of melanoma are diagnosed in each year and melanomas kill more than a thousand Australians every year.

Mole Checks

A mole check is a quick and effective way to detect dangerous moles. After a fourth member of my family was recently been diagnosed with melanoma, I decided to face my fears and book an appointment with a dermatologist.

As a teen I rarely wore sunscreen and spent hours swimming in the local river, often burning to a dangerous scarlet. In the days leading up my mole check appointment I was a nervous wreck and contemplated cancelling. Ludicrously, I thought I’d rather not know if my skin was harbouring a lethal enemy…

In the end, I plucked up the courage and dragged my other half along for a check too (he was mortified at the prospect of having to reveal a mole in an extremely embarrassing place!)

The experience ended up being quick (20 minutes), painless and not all that embarrassing (even for my shy man).  Using a specialised dermascope, the dermatologist checked out each and every mole on our bodies.  We were both clear, although my partner does have a microscopic dot on his big toe that the dermatologist recommended he keep a close eye on. Almost impossible to see with the naked eye, it really hit home the necessity to have regular checkups with trained professionals who know what they’re looking for.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

23 January 2012 by East Day Spa

 CELEBRATING THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON

For the first time in 12 years, we’re entering the auspicious year of the dragon.  The dragon is a symbol of good fortune, wisdom and intense power…

The dragon holds special significance for the Chinese people. More than 4,000 years ago the two largest tribes in China joined forces and chose the dragon as their emblem. The Han Chinese are still known as the descendents of the dragon.

While the West sees the mythical dragon as being malevolent, the Chinese revere the dragon for being a powerful ruler and symbol of luck.

In Chinese astrology, people born in the dragon year are considered special. They’re supposedly enterprising, brave and self-assured – the free spirits of the zodiac.  Negative traits include a quick temper and vanity.

It’s said the Year of the Dragon is always marked by excitement, unpredictability, exhilaration and intensity. People are said to respond to the spirit of the Dragon with energy and vitality, often throwing all caution in the wind.

If you’re a dragon, expect double the luck this year. Your natural talents will bloom fully.
