5 phases facial is based on Japanese massage (KOBI-DO), Japanese Shiatsu, and naturopathy.
REN’S facial is a skin workout that addresses both physical and muscular-skeletal facial tissue by toning and lifting underlying muscles and releasing tension to reduce the appearance of unwanted facial expression lines.
It also boosts the skin's natural process of protection, repair, and renewal together with REN products.
Wednesday 28th July
REN FACIALS are available bi-monthly
Immediate results naturally
This treatment took 5 years to develop.
Alexandra worked with a plastic surgeon studying which muscles loose their elasticity first and the different stages of ageing.
A non-invasive approach to a youthful appearance is accomplished by releasing constrictions within the facial muscles & connective tissues.
The treatment is like taking your face to the gym, it tones your muscles and changes the appearance of your face.

Application takes 45 mins. They last for about 12/15 days depending on how full or short your own lashes are, how much make-up you wear and how much water they come into contact with.
Once the lashes are applied it is advised to stay away from oil based products(eye make-up removers etc) to save the lashes from sliding off earlier than expected!

We have finally got the message about the importance of wearing sunscreen especially during the summer months. The very nature of sunscreens mean they bind to the skins surface making them more difficult to remove, leaving a residue on the skins surface, combine this with our moisturiser and the skin can become overloaded increasing blocked pores, black heads and leaving us looking a little dull. Try a double cleanse (cleansing twice) at the end of the day using a hot cloth and the Dr. Alkaitis face cleanser finishing with cold water, some skins may benefit from a once a week gentle exfoliation to help keep the skins surface clear of sunscreen residue such as the Caudalie gentle buffing cream.

Try this pretty summer look out keeping the skin as fresh as possible, Chanticailles Just skin spf15 works wonders with a pop of Becca's creme blush or Chanticailles Aquablush on the cheeks. Strong brows are very this season so fill them in with Becca's Brow Powders, if you have thin brows then thicken them... its all about a heavy sharp brow right now! Take a metallic(not too glittery) eye shadow preferably a lighter shade such as RMKs silver pink, all the way from the lashline to the brow then lashings of black mascara, waterproof is essential for warm summer months, my favourite volume building mascara has to be RMKs Seperate curl mascara. Keep a nude lip, Becca's lip sheers in Estella and Yasmina are perfect for this look. Finish off with Becca Skin Illuminator in Opal patted onto the cheeks for the lucious dewy skin.

Back to the job in hand, our mission was to discover Shu Uemura art of hair's new launch; Shusu Sleek (named after the shusu silk used in the emperor's kimono), a new range of shampoo and conditioner for unruly hair.

Hi Lost In Beauty followers...wow the last entry came from Milan, in the midst of Fashion Week season – can you believe that was nearly 3 months ago?! Paris Fashion Week was just as hectic but I got to work on some more amazing shows including Vivienne Westwood, Chanel, Balmain and Stella McCartney.
So Summer seems to be finally here and I hope you’ve all tried your hands at creating the loose, sexy, undone hair that is oh so hot for this season. Here at the boutique, we are all loving the new Shu Uemura Kaze Wave mousse and Kengo Feather – both great products for achieving this look.
As for what I’ve been up to, well the highlight has to be the 3 days I spent in St.Tropez along with the wonderful Sam McKnight filming a short film ‘Remember Now’ www.youtube.com for Chanel – it was directed by the ever inspiring Karl Lagerfeld and included models: Baptiste Giabiconi, Elisa Sednaoui, Magdalena Frackowiak, Freja Beha Erichsen, Leigh Lezark and Karolina Kurkova. The film was shown at a private press launch the night before the Chanel Cruise Collection show.
As you can imagine, the show – set in the heart of St.Tropez’s marina - was spectacular, with models arriving on speed boats before then walking down the ‘catwalk’ promenade sporting loose tousled hair and Georgia May Jagger making her catwalk debut on the back of a Harley Davidson!
MAKE-UP
Professional make-up artist and owner of Lost in Beauty, Georgie Hamed is available for all bridal make-up appointments as are her talented team of artists.
Achieve flawless, radiant, beautiful make-up by hiring a professional for the day.

Hi, I am in between cities at the moment but, as we speak, the fashion pack are all relocating to Paris as the collections come into their final week.
And with Milan Fashion Week done, here is a quick summary of which shows I got to work on with the wonderful Eugene Souleiman.
At Dolce & Gabbana, it was all about the sexy fiery woman. Lips were a flaming red and the hair was loose, as if it had been a self-creation. We put hair into a loose ponytail above the nape then turned hair inwards before twisting and securing it in a loose chignon shape.
25th February 2010
Hi all, so its London Fashion week done...Milan Fashion week here I come, (and a 4.30am start might I add!!!)
It’s been an amazing 5 days, with the highlights being the Burberry Prorsum show and all its sheepskin, shades of green, ruffles and high collars that a girl could ever wish for not to mention the sexy undone hair that was worn tucked in and slightly ‘mussed’ up...
The outerwear is available to pre-order on the Burberry Prorsum website and will come in six to eight weeks...oh which jacket will you choose? Visit www.burberry.com.

To impress the man of your dreams this Valentine’s Day go understated with that luscious pop of colour on the lips. Keep the eyes looking Angelic but defined so you don’t look like you have tried to hard. Effortlessly Chic is the key to bagging that boy!
Eyes… keep them fresh and bright…
Chanticaille’s Sesame, Shell and Pearle are good eyeshadow shades.
RMK Black eyeliner pencil… underneath the lashline to give subtle definition.
Curl lashes then add a couple of coats of mascara. I love either Chanticaille’s mascara for a finer lash effect or RMK’s separate curl mascara for slightly fuller lashes!
Creative Director of the HOUSE OF BLUEEYES and super talented music industry stylist, JOHNNYBLUEEYES, will showcase and sell selected items from the unique and extensive archive of his life, travels and unseen world.

Hi Beauty followers! It has been a while since my last entry and there is now quite a bit to report back ;-)
...We have finally launched the Amazing Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ceremonies and for those of you that haven’t read the press coverage, they are a selection of bespoke hair and scalp treatments including head, neck and shoulder massage! They are the ultimate super relaxing and hydrating experience for your hair (and only we know how much our tresses our shouting out for TLC after what has been the coldest winter).
Take a look at the hair services menu and get yourself booked in for one, (Mothers day is coming up soon so why not book a pampering session for her or even with a group of friends). All of the treatments include a blowdry and/or hair up which you can chose from our ‘Trends Inspired Look Book’.
Other news is.. I was lucky enough to work with Natalia Vodianova on a video shoot for her upcoming fundraising ball in aid of her charity Naked Heart. Many of the industry’s finest designers have donated a bespoke piece that will then be auctioned off at the event, some of which were featured in the video that is soon to go live..I will keep you posted of the date.
Winter skin health
5th February 2010
This time of year can be hard wearing on our complexions, extremes of cold and warmth in this country and especially for those enjoying their skiing breaks, with the added sun exposure the skin on our face can be exposed to some fairly harsh conditions. Now is as good a time as ever to start having regular face treatments, to help bring you skin back to it’s natural radiance.
Skincare tips for winter
5th February 2010
Q. My skin is so dry what should I use?
Q. My skin is so dry what should I use?
A. To help combat the drying effects of the central heating and winter days I recommend upping your moisturiser, try using a really nourishing moisturiser such as the Dr. Alkaitis night cream, even though it is called a night product it can be especially helpful during the day during these harsher months.
You can really smell the herbs in this cream, packed full of natural vitamin A, B, C and E with marigold and rose blossom, horsetail a natural source of silica (one of natures youthful building blocks), echinacea root to protect against environmental damage and chamomile to calm.
How to use:- after cleansing and applying a treatment toner, apply two pumps to the back of your hand and apply all over the face and neck with your fingers.
