N.V.Perricone is a brand that has been created by the dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone. This particular skincare product boasts to offer consumers a hassle free and clear-cut yet extremely well-investigated formula.

The new and innovative range has been given the name the Neuropeptide collection and is entirely based on neuropeptides. Neuropeptides are in fact miniscule strings of amino acids that in turn supply a connection between the brain and the action of nerves in the skin. Dr. Perricone has given this concept the nickname ‘Brain-Beauty Connection’.

These neuropeptides occur naturally within everyone and have a huge effect on both the skin and body’s structure; however they do tend to weaken over the years. Reintroducing them to our bodies in turn re-kindles the body’s own repair system. This will act to retain youthful skin as well as slow the signs of premature ageing

Unlike some skincare and anti-ageing products, this is a long term solution as appose to a temporary fix.

The Neuropeptide collection consists of a range of five skin friendly products. These five products include the Neuropeptide Facial Conformer, which is priced at a total of £445. This particular product is the best seller in the range, possibly because it boasts to reduce the appearance of fine lines, whilst also improving the skins radiance and elasticity, as well as reducing puffiness, tiny veins and any unsightly under-eye circles.

There are two predominant types of festival make up styles for this season, one being the full on fun style and the other being the morning after make up, where the goal is to hide the fact that you have in fact only managed a couple of hours sleep. Concealer and a great tinted moisturiser are your best options when wishing to create such a look. The most popular and most effective products available on the market today include Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturiser, which is priced at £32 and also contains an SPF20. Another product is the Balm Shelter Tinted Moisturiser which s a little less expensive and can be purchased for a price of £22. If there is sun cream SPF30 is priced at £28.30 and also promises a healthy glow. If you have sensitive skin that needs a little more protection than others and requires a little more coverage, then for £26.50 you can purchase Jane Iredales’s Pure Pressed Base. This is a combination of one compact mineral foundation together with a handy mirror for ease of application whilst on the go.

With so little sleep and so much partying try the concealer kit from Confessions of a Concealaholic Kit in order to hide those under eye dark circles or any unsightly breakouts! This particular product can be snapped up for a price of £28.50 and as well as the concealer houses a brightening primer and mirror.

Make sure you look at your best by following a few of these beauty regimes and you are guaranteed to have a great time.

If you are experiencing the effects of both a busy lifestyle and sleepless nights then be sure to step up your beauty regime and banish that pasty and tired looking complexion.

Whenever you feel like this then its time for a little beauty maintenance which will in turn perk up that dull complexion! The first step of this beauty regime should be to invest in a great facial exfoliating formula or alternatively try a moisturising facial peel. Both products will work to scrub and rid your skin of dead skin cells as well as dirt that has built up over time, resulting in a fresh and awakened complexion that appears both smooth and even in tone.

The next step is to purchase an all over spray tan; an expert at a salon can either apply this at home or alternatively. A spray tan will result in an even and sun kissed glow, making the skin appear both radiant and in good health. Xen tan or St Tropez are some of the most popular products on the market to date and claim to achieve a natural looking tan in minutes that will build up over a few days to create the illusion of that ‘just stepped off the beach’ look.

The final step is to invest in some essential make up pieces; bronzer and highlighter are the perfect pieces for summer and again will result in a healthy facial glow. Lash extensions are also a good investment as by applying these will banish panda eyes and create the illusion of wide-awake and statement peepers.

If you don’t have the time or the patience to apply eyelashes opt for good mascara. L’Oreal’s all new Volume Million Lashes Mascara l claims to achieve eyes that scream look at me by separating each individual lash, in turn creating the effect of more lashes and no clumps at all.

Intense and bright shades are big on the catwalk this season, adorning both the eyes and lips but if you are not quite daring enough to do both, opt for a statement colour on the eyes and a nude shade on the lips or vice versa.

This is certainly a look that is great for evening, vivid oranges and bright blues really bring out the eyes and will definitely cause a statement. For best results apply to both the eyelid and the eye socket, finishing by blending the product up towards the brow bone. A coat of intense black mascara will really bring out the eyes.

If you desire to work this look throughout the day, colour should be used more sparingly and a slick coat of liner in a bright shade blended both above and below the lash line will suffice in creating a more subtle look that is still right on trend for the summer. Bright blues and vivid greens are very much this season or alternatively opt for an ice blue shade on the lower lash line, this will create a hint of sparkle and highlight the eyes.

Tangerine shades on the lips have been seen adorning the models at the Chanel shows and are certainly a big hit for 2010; an added bonus is that this shade also suits an array of complexions. For a fresh finish opt for the new felt-tip style lip stains or alternatively a glossy and in your face lip-gloss for an instant injection of colour and sparklle.

Whether you have a girly holiday planned or you plan to spend the summer in Britain, this season is all about holidays, party’s and weddings and we all want to look our best for them. With an abundance of products on the market that promise to buff, polish, exfoliate and moisturise, it can be sometimes a difficult decision in deciding on the perfect one.

When considering the complexion, facials work wonders and a lot of department stores and beauty counters now house spas, alternatively if you want to create your own spa experience in the comfort of your home then there are also top-end treatments available which allow you to do so. These include a range of deep cleansing treatments, which promise to both remove impurities and inject the skin with a surge of moisture. There are also ranges of masks available, which work to stimulate and restore skin cells as well as quenching the skin with an added surge of moisture. Look for a serum that contains fruit active ingredients, as these will revitalise tired and dehydrated complexions that suffer from both stress and a lack of sleep.

Facial resins are great for preparing your skin for the sun and many of these contain zinc, which has been proven by dermatologists to combat acne. The resin lotions also work to combat shine and will in turn enhance the complexion; these particular lotions create the perfect balance of hydration for the skin.

At a price of £25 for 100ml-sized pot, this product boasts to contain a total of 16 full facials. It is in fact the most popular product in the Balaton Spa range and has a strong following of A-list Celebrities; these such celebrities include the likes of the fashionable Gok Wan, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and the ‘ten years younger’ duo, Trinny and Susannah.

This particular product is available at certain spas, salons and shops throughout the country and also by mail order, or alternatively the Balaton Spa Face mask can be obtained online.

This mask boasts to be made up of 100 per cent natural ingredients and contains over 331 skin friendly elements, which are sourced from lowland moor water and organic elements which aid in renewing, refreshing, firming and tone the face. The results reveal a noticeably younger looking complexion that is both full of life and portrays a healthy glow. This product has in fact been described as a mini face-lift.

The Packaging is the perfect reflection of the brands concept and appears as if it has just been plucked from the shelves of an expensive spa. The casing is minimal, sophisticated and stylish and is the perfect addition to any bathroom.

The consistency of this product is extremely thick and luxurious in texture and offers an exfoliating grain like structure, which is still slightly creamy. Despite the mask containing so many elements the mask in fact has no aroma, making it suitable for those with very sensitive skin.
