Vajazzle at home with LoveHoney’s Vajazzling Body Jewellery

Vajazzle.jpg Have you heard about Vajazzling? If you have, then you can skip this paragraph and go straight to the second. If not, I'll illuminate you. It's the art of adorning your nether regions with sparkly crystals. Most often it's done in conjunction with a Hollywood bikini wax and can look very pretty. It became popular in New York (obv) and now there's a way you can Vajazzle without going to the salon. The Vajazzling Body Jewellery set comprises three pretty designs in a funky box, which are very simple to apply. The image shows it being applied to the tummy area, but I can see it working further south. Enjoy- just don't share your pics with me! £14.99 from LoveHoney


Beauty Hero: Kelly Osbourne

I'm a big fan of Kelly Osbourne's hair and makeup style. She may not get it right every time, but she's willing to experiment, and has a really playful take on beauty. I LOVE that she's not just a cardboard cutout Hollywood blonde (pretty, but boring), and though she may have piggybacked off her parents to get fame, has stayed in the limelight because she's so likeable-without resorting to Hilton style sex tape shenanigans. I find her many MANY styles a really refreshing change for a celebrity. This gallery celebrates ome of her best and worst moments inb beauty, taking you from her sulky TV show phase up to the stylish yound lady she has turned into today.

The quietest hairdryer in the world? The Philips Hush Hairdryer

HP8190_UKTRES02.jpg I really HATE drying my hair. I know it's necessary but the noise just puts my teeth on edge. There also seems to be a time limit on when you can use one as well, as post ten o'clock and you're being rude to the neighbours. This may all change with news of the Philips Hush hairdryer, which is being sold as the quietest hairdryer IN THE WORLD! I like the sound of that. They haven'y skimped on the wattage as I'd suspected, as the dryer has a full 2000 watts, as well as six heat settings, a cool shot and a diffuser. Watch this space for a review. £34.99 from Philips here.

How much should you tip at the salon? Top hairdressers reveal all

tipping_etiquette.jpg Every time I go to a salon I suffer an ecstasy of indecision regarding the tipping process. How much do I tip- and to who? Do I have to tip if I hate my hair? Often I end up not tipping (shame on me) as I simply don't know what to do, so I've decided to clarify this by asking top hairdressers to tell me what they think. A good rule of thumb (in my opinion) is to always carry cash, and try and tip the juniors rather than the salon owner, as they're on less money. I asked top UK hairdressers: What do you think is an appropriate tip in salon, and who should you tip? Dom-Creative Stylist for Sebastian Professional As with restaurants I would recommend 10%. It may be worth asking the receptionist how your Salons tip system works, it may be shared evenly amongst the team. Its great if you can tip whom ever had direct contact with you.
