Well known to tarnish, silver is chosen accordingly to the craftmanship which has been used to create the piece. If handmade, the silver will cost more than if created with a machine.

Sterling silver is one of the best quality as it helps to find the level of work undertaken to finish a piece. Sterling silver is made of 7,5% copper and the rest is silver. When buying silver, always have a look on a stamp that either gives the designer’s name or that clearly states “sterling”.

They should always be with the perfect line. Eyebrows pencil can help you to get the right shape by filling the gaps between missing hair. Before applying any make-up on your eyebrows, comb them with a special brush or use your fingers to put them in place. The use of eyebrows powder is much more efficient to give a natural look to your eyes.

Most of the treatments existing nowadays focus on how to get smaller pores.

One of our favourite is microdermabrasion by Mary Kay (range of products called Time Wise). The step one helps you refine your skin by cleansing it with a super cleanser, while the step two is nourishing your skin in depth. You need to use these products no more than twice a week for 3 to 6 months depending on the results expected. It does work if you religiously practice it!

Space NK offers a similar range of products called Dr Brandt. Both of these treatments can be undertaken at home. For those of you who prefer relying on beauticians, we can advise you to book an appointment with Organic Beauty Spa, 2a, Half Moon Lane, Herne Hill, London, SE24 9HU, 020 7207 6946 . Only natural products are used there.
