With only a few weeks left until Christmas, the severe weather conditions and chaotic festive season can take its toll on your beauty regimen. Late nights and overtime at work can make it increasingly difficult to get your makeup perfect and have your skin up to scratch. The festive season is no doubt a lot of fun, but it can also leave you a little deflated. It is important during this period to have some me-time, whether it is a girls’ pampering night or a spa day.

Beat those winter blues


Winter Blues advice from permanent makeup specialist Rebecca Jayne

Beating the winter blues

As we go through the coldest time of the year especially as we prepare for Christmas, our nights are longer and we start the countdown for the summer! So it’s not surprising that we start to feel those winter blues set in. Over the last few weeks, we have been chatting to our clients & discussing remedies to help us through the winter months.

So here are our top 5 favourites for an instant pick me up

 1. Dose up on vitamin D:

Possibly the most powerful remedy, so we decided to put it as our number one! 1 in 5 people in the UK are low in vitamin D, vitamin D comes from a chemical reaction in our body derived from the sun so it’s no surprise this number rises during winter. Symptoms such as tiredness, aches & pains as quite a common start to the winter blues and generally not feeling well. So a top up of vitamin D in a daily tablet is just what you need, studies show that after taking one tablet a day you feel more alert, less tired and generally brighter.

We found these powerful vitamins are the perfect supplement, as they contain a high dose of vitamin D and the tiny tablets are easy to take 🙂

 2. Book a holiday:

Do we need to say anymore on this one, book some time away to just relax and read a good book you will come back feeling refreshed and relaxed ready to celebrate Christmas or maybe just after Christmas, something else to look forward to as you approach January, throughout the year we offer a wide range of beauty treatments to prep you for your holiday

 3. Exercise:

Being outside in the fresh air and natural light is a great way to make you feel better during the cold winter months, swimming is great for toning, going for a light run or brisk walk for just 30 minutes a day is all you need.

Or for those of you that don’t want to exercise outside or have limited time then we have found the perfect at home workout for you, Yoga with Adriene (Yoga Camp) is a great way to work out at home without going to the gym. Adrienne’s relaxed approach is a great introduction to your yoga practice:

 5. Eat Healthy:

This goes hand in hand with exercise, but it is so true that you are what you eat. If your diet consists of fatty foods and takeaways then your bound to feel sluggish and tired all the time, but if you eat lots of protein, fruit & veg you will naturally feel ready to then maybe save the over indulgence for your Christmas meal! Foods like dark leafy greens, pomegranates, citrus fruits, potatoes & winter squash are all loaded with vitamin C, B6 & antioxidants and are fantastic to get you through winter, give them a try.

We hope you’ve enjoyed the read, and find our remedies useful to help you through the winter months 🙂

The Benefits of Semi-Permanent Makeup


Regardless of age, everyone loves to feel good about themselves. How about if you looked your best all the time without putting in the effort everyday? Our semi-permanent makeup services at our beauty clinic are becoming increasingly popular with the treatments becoming the new beauty trend.

The most important thing at our beauty clinic is making each and every client feel extra special and satisfied with results and we have had an overwhelming amount of positive feedback on our semi-permanent make up treatments!

“ It is the best feeling in the world when I see how happy my clients are when they leave my salon, I know I have helped them feel better about themselves. This is why I strive for perfection with every single client that I have the pleasure of working with.”

Semi-permanent makeup does not mean that you will look ‘done up’ all the time. At our clinic, close to the Manchester area, we aim to tailor every treatment to your requirements, along with offering our expert advice.

We understand that many of our clients want the permanent natural makeup appearance that perfectly complements the skin tone, with the right combination of pigments to accentuate natural features. Every client that comes into our clinic is different, so we go through a detailed consultation before we start any treatment to ensure that clients are 100% sure about exactly what they want.

I really think it is ideal for people of all ages – a real confidence boost, making you feel more comfortable in your own skin, as we know, many people suffer from self-esteem or have disabilities that can make daily beauty routines more of a struggle.

We spend our lives carrying around our essential makeup bags so that we can keep on top of our makeup, but daily activities such as a workout in the gym or walking home in the rain can really cause havoc for your makeup look.

Everything You  Need To Know About Microblading: The Must-Have Method for Beautiful Brows


I often get asked about the best methods to achieve a good set of brows. I know the struggles of those early mornings – trying to find ways to cut corners, forgoing that perfectly brewed coffee in order to sport that perfectly winged eyeliner – or maybe even neglecting steps of your beauty routine entirely. Brows can take up so much time and definitely can’t be rushed, often uneven or too dark, yet we can’t leave the house until they are 100% right.

Microblading is the new on trend semi-permanent makeup for eyebrows – it’s a beauty secret of ours that we’ve been dying to tell you about!

What is microblading?
Microblading, otherwise known as the hand tool method, is a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure which originated in Asia and is fast becoming the treatment of choice in brow design for men and women across the UK. It is a preferred method to the machine as the machine deposits more colour, making the hair strokes heal thicker and fuller, thus creating a slightly more powdered effect when healed.

Brow Benefits

Natural results

As opposed to outlining and filling in your eyebrows as many methods do, our microblading service close to the Liverpool area creates natural hair-like strokes into the skin. It will not replace a heavy pencil look as it is deposited under the skin not on top of the skin, however, it will give you the perfect guide to follow with your pencil in the morning if you want a stronger look.

Save time:

As microblading implants pigments into your skin, you do not need to wake up every morning with the routine task of applying your makeup. You could spend days in the office or work up a sweat at the gym without the worry of losing the shape of your brows.

Virtually painless two hours:

Even though we all have our busy schedules, the premium microblading service in our Poulton clinic (conveniently close to Manchester, Liverpool and Blackpool) only requires a few hours. You can have a natural, perfect set of brows for months on end, instead of stressing over uneven brows every morning. microblading-rj

Cute Cuticles- DIY


Cute Cuticles

How to make your own, homemade cuticle oil

I find, especially during the winter months, my cuticles can get so dry and dehydrated. I spend time on having my nails beautifully manicured, or take the time to pick the perfect colour, but seem to totally neglect my cuticles. When my cuticles look dry and scruffy, it doesn’t do my nails justice one bit.

Although we do sell our chosen cuticle oil in salon, if you have the time, there’s something really special about creating your own homemade version, and it is so easy and in expensive. It can also make a perfect gift idea if you’re strapped for cash, or if you fancy putting a bit of love into your gift ideas.

So here is our blog on how to make your very own cuticle oil.

You will need-

  • 20 drops of frankincense essential oil
  • 20 drops of orange essential oil
  • 4 tablespoons of Jojoba oil
  • 1 tablespoon of vitamin E oil
  • A small, dark tinted glass bottle with dropper
  • Pretty ribbon or accessories to decorate your bottle

Why we chose these oils in particular-

  • Frankincense oil– promotes cellular health, as well as calms and soothes the skin. It also has a high vibrational aroma, which helps to relax and balance mood swings. One of it’s most popular uses is to apply a couple of drops to your finger nails to help strengthen your nails. Which is why it is a perfect ingredient for our homemade cuticle oil.
  • Orange essential oil– not only does it smell amazing and has an uplifting effect on your senses, but this oil has many properties, including being an anti-inflammatory, an anti-depressant, diuretic tonic and many more. If you have any cracks or cuts around your cuticles, orange essential oil can help avoid bacterial or fungal infections occurring, due to it’s antiseptic properties. It is also very good for maintaining healthy, smooth and glamorous skin.
  • Jojoba oil-This is our chosen carrier oil. When using essential oils on the skin, it is essential that you mix them with a carrier oil, diluting the potency of the oil to avoid adverse reactions. Jojoba oil, unlike most vegetable oils, closely resembles human sebum, so it’s uses and benefits to the skin are amazing. Since it has a very low melting point, it practically remains in the liquid state all of the time, making it a perfect carrier for our cuticle oil. (no messing around having to heat the bottle before you use it, as with coconut oil).
  • Vitamin E oil– we chose to add this as a little extra loving for your cuticles. Vitamin E is a nutrient to the skin, it’s also an antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals which damage cells. Although it wouldn’t be super beneficial on it’s owns, teamed with these other powerful ingredients, it will have a fabulous effect on the skin around your nails.

And the method-

Simply mix all of the above ingredients into a small bowl, stir, and use your dropper from the small glass bottle to transport the mixed oil from your bowl into your bottle. Tie a nice ribbon around the bottle and label it if you wish, and Voila! You have yourself a powerful, beautiful smelling little cuticle oil, that will last up to 2 years if its stored in a cool dark place.

Feel free to swap out the orange essential oil for lavender or lemon, whichever you like the smell of the most.

We hope you enjoy making this handy cuticle oil, and would absolutely love to see your creations, or hear any of your own recipes for making your own skin care!
