Beaut.ienomics: Cathyfly Investigates Salon Savings via Beaut.ie - The Irish Beauty Blog, Apr 22nd, 2009 at 10:30

image As Aphrodite is currently sunning herself silly in southeast Asia, veteran Beaut.ie Cathyfly is going to be dishing pearls of her expert wisdom over the next couple of weeks, including an update or two on her Pig2Twig diet club. On to business - take it away missis: ————————– Kirstie filled us in a few weeks ago on some of the discounts on offer at spas around the country. Something I’ve also noticed recently is that lots of regular beauty salons are now doing special offers, no doubt due to the ‘Current Climate’ (my second most hated phrase at the moment, No 1 being ‘Recession Busting’ agghh). Which is welcome news to those of us looking for good deals not just on the luxury treatments, but on our more... Similar posts

Ask & You Shall Receive - Facials for Fellas? via Beaut.ie - The Irish Beauty Blog, Feb 7th, 2007 at 09:09

One of our many, many male fans asked us if we could recommend him somewhere in Dublin to have his first facial. Well male fan, you might be surprised to know that a lot of salons are unisex. Unless it specifically says women only, you’re generally in luck. So that means lots of delicious choice! Sanas, where myself, Aphrodite and the very manly Remington sojourned a couple of weeks ago are only too delighted to smooth the skins of men such as yourself. They’re in Churchtown, and you’ll find more details on their website. Nue Blue Eriu, on South William St not only sell gorgeous luxe products but they’ll also happily slap them on your phizog too. The Madison Clinic and Day Spa on Liffey St also have a load of therapies for men including waxing, spray tanning as... Similar posts

Elemis Beauty Products - Expensive but Excellent via wysiwyg, Dec 28th, 2005 at 16:23

image In the past few months I have discovered Elemis skin care products, thanks to the strangely addictive shopping channel QVC. It is a range that is normally only available in premium spas around the world. They have recently started to branch out into retail and there is now an Elemis counter and some spa treatments available in Debenhams in London and here in Ireland at the Harvey Nichols store in Dundrum. I don’t usually get taken in by all these miracle cream claims and am pretty low maintenance, but I was so impressed by the presentation given by QVC’s resident Elemis therapist Keeley that I decided to give it a go. (The great thing about buying from QVC is that there is a 30 day no quibble money back guarantee regardless of how much you have used the creams! I have yet to... Similar posts
