The New Chelsea Day Spa

A brand new sister spa to the hugely popular The Chelsea Day Spa on King’s Road has just opened its doors in Fulham.  Lucky enough to be invited to the opening celebrations, I went to check it out last night with my good friend speakingbeauty. It was a fun filled evening of pampering and bubbles, where we were both treated to a fabulous Jessica manicures and a very precise brow threading. 

This new Day Spa/Blow Dry Bar, is immaculately designed with a fresh elegant feel.  It features two nail stations offering wonderful Jessica manicures, a luxurious cushioned pedicure bench with retro butler sinks and its very first Chelsea Blow Dry Bar, that has a unique signature express treatment called The Chelsea Day Blow Dry that only costs £15 (additional £5 for long hair). No cutting, or colouring, just wash, blow and go! 

Downstairs there a two treatment rooms where you can treat yourself to a host of pampering treats, that include prescriptive Darphin, HydroPeptide and TWELVE facials, plus personalised Aromatherapy, Swedish, Hot Stone and Deep Tissue massages.

I Iove that you can help yourself to a choice of light refreshments in the spa’s self-serve café area, it makes you feel straight at home. Living just down the road its such a treat to now have somewhere I can easily pop into to have a quick and reasonably priced beauty fix before a night out.

Platine Précieux Preview

Last week, the most beautifully fresh looking pearl-like metallic silver/grey eyeshadow was unveiled at the CHANEL Spring/Summer Ready to Wear 2013 Paris Fashion Week Show. It is called ILLUSION d'OMBRE Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Platine Précieux  and is exclusive to the  "Souffle de Liberté" collection, which will be available in March 2013. Here's a sneak preview from backstage. I for one can't wait to get my hands on it! 

Instant Vitamin Boost

Nothing plays more havoc with the skin than the changing seasons, especially going into winter with the heating back into full swing. 

A few months ago I had a Kirstin Florian Facial at the Dorchester,  it was super cleansing and gave my skin and amazing hydration boost, that left it looking plump and healthy for weeks. Keen to keep up the routine I left with a cheeky purchase of the Rejuvenating Spirulina Masque (£47). Now that my skin is in desperate need of a vitamin boost, this mask is working wonders. Suitable for all skin types, it looks quite unusual,  a very dark green thick paste that smells rather sea like, something I would definitely recommend that you apply in the privacy of your bathroom or at Halloween... However packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, proteins and Chlorophyll with a key ingredient of Blue-Green Spirulina Algae, it gives an instant nutrient boost to dull looking skin. What I love about it over clay based masks, is that it doesn't dry into a cakey paste making your face feel tight, it stays lovely and moist, leaving your skin, soft, soothed, hydrated and cleansed. 

Key Ingredients of: 

Spirulina Algae Contains 63% protein, 8% minerals and a full spectrum of vitamins including A,C & E to nourish and rejuvenate the skin and Pacific Rim deep cleansing Clay to Refine the appearance of pores with Rosemary Leaf Extract to  stimulate circulation and promote an even skin tone.
