When I asked you back in 2009 if you spray tan, most of you said that you didn't. However, it does seem like many of you use at home self-tanning products. I'm not here to judge, but in my opinion, now that it's Summer and our clothing gets skimpier as the temperatures rise, it looks nice to have a bit of a brown glow as opposed to chalky-white British skin in a sundress. That's why I decided to Read more
At the SAG Awards, Australian actress Toni Collette wowed the red carpet with her bronzed skin, flesh-toned dress and long, loose, highlighted amber waves. Knowing Toni from her work in films, she's not one to tan easily, in fact, her skin is quite pale and freckled. That's why I was so impressed with her flawless spray tan which really helped her from looking washed out in her blush gown. The Read more
Beauty, pharmaceuticals and cosmetology seemed to collide this decade with the invention of many new beauty treatments. Everything from highly concentrated serums, to lip plumpers, safe forms of botulism injections we've come to know as botox, makeup made from pure minerals, meat preservatives that can be used to make your skin look tan, at home teeth whiteners and laser hair removal have become Read more
I'm a big fan on the spray tan, no matter the season. It's safer on your skin than the sun and it's a great way to look instantly savage before going on holiday. Apparently Victoria Beckham is also a fan of the year-round fake bake. According to the Daily News, she's hired a personal spray-on tan artist to help her tan appear more natural. Jimmy Coco (aka Mr. Spray Tan) said, "When we met, she Read more
With Spring here and the weather getting slightly warmer, it's only natural to shed your layers and bear more skin. However, I wouldn't say that it's been hot enough to sun bathe and turn the pasty pale UK "glow" that we all have into anything savage. This means that you can either go out au natural, or get a little help from self tanning gels, creams, at-home mists (such as Lindsay Lohan's Read more
What is it with totally weird, vaguely silly drugs these days? First people were huffing "bath salts," and now, at least in the UK, they're stuffing mysterious "herbs" up their noses to get tan. A product called Ubertan, which looks like Nasalcrom or any other typical nasal spray, was getting quite a following across the pond. That is, until it was quickly discontinued when people showed up in Read more
Last week in the posh May Fair Hotel, tanning expert James Reed (whose fabulous client list include Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, and Paris Hilton) not only talked to me all about the new range of affordable self-tanning products from Little White Lie, but he also gave me one heck of a masterful spray tan using their products. I was actually the first person he ever sprayed Read more
The inspiration for the clothing and beauty style at Roksanda Ilincic today was '90s grunge, but in a more magazine grunge kind of way as opposed to dirty-street grunge. The collection consisted of bold shapes and bright colours with gorgeous fabrics and flattering cuts. Peachy makeup was used by Lucia Pica for MAC starting with St. Tropez Natural Radiance on the skin as a base with a bit of Read more

According to a recent poll of 2,000 British women, Pippa Middleton's skin tone was declared the "most desirable," with over 60 percent of respondents saying they liked her skin color best. Participants were given six celebrity examples from which to choose, but the results could be construed as misleading; Pippa is so popular right now and people want to look like her in general. And it's odd Read more
