se but to put it simply this homepage is no longer my home farewell and thanks for reading posted by miss malcontent at 12 17 3 comments monday 12 september 2011 145 turkish delights and frights the things getting me through a 40 degree holiday this year which has been more tiring and physically draining experience than i ve ever known thanks to the toddler s newfound running feet are liz earle botanical aftersun gel soothing immediately cooling nicely non tacky on dry down good smell too my bobbi brown oil free tinted moisturiser is holding up really well out here on my oiliest spots chin nose forehead i ve been moisturising with espa cellular hydration complex yep the one before they discontinued it then their tea tree gel my foundation then goes on really smoothly and stayed remarkably un slicky looking for the majority of the day japonesque tweezers these have proven their worth snagging even the least cooperative straggler and seem to have sped up my plucking sessions by half and kalms lots of kalms the only way i seem to be able to switch off after the buzziest of beach to bed days what s not floated my boat this summer clinique targeted protection stick spf35 just far too greasy melted down into my eyes on my last day at the beach not pleasant ren moroccon rose body cream do not ask me why for i am neither a biochemist nor a dermatologist but for some reason this cream has not done my skin any favours i have bumpy backs of arms something that ordinarily clears up within 48 hours of me entering the sea and i ve been left with tacky limbs almost all week long not happy posted by miss malcontent at 19 13 4 comments labels bobbi brown clinique japonesque kalms liz earle ren thursday 4 august 2011 144 the banned and the beautiful as a beauty director in the full time employ of a woman s magazine that relies upon its advertisers hmmm this is tricky last week two adverts were banned by the advertising standards authority following liberal democrat jo swinson s campaign against overly perfected and unrealistic images of women in adverts the adverts featured the actress julia roberts and the model christy turlington promoting lancôme s teint miracle foundation and maybelline s the eraser foundation you ve probably seen them both women look preternaturally perfect pore line hairless but they also look like themselves and having seen both women in real life i can say that sincerely and attest to the fact that yes their facial configuration is maintained we re not slimming noses trimming eyelids changing lips light and shade is what s being played with here to an extreme yes absolutely but beauty imagery has rarely lived within the realms of reality as lucy beresford said when i interviewed her for a feature in psychologies magazine i just don t think it is damaging to see beautiful women advertising beauty products psychologically beauty has always been linked to fantasy and is therefore often about archetypes or ideals as such an airbrushed version of julia roberts already a phenomenally beautiful woman becomes almost mythically ideal a modern day helen of troy flawless this is familiar territory this does not shock or disappoint me i am used to it i do not think it harms me in any way this is after all an advert does it make some women feel bad do people look at the image and think i hate my lines i hate my wrinkles i hate my spots i hate my freckles i want to have a cgi complexion just like julia s or do they look at it and think i know that s not reality because it s selling me something perhaps because i fall into bracket b i found jo swinson s campaign intriguing had it been me i would ve picked on the over sexualised derogatory degrading stances taken by so many beauty brands in a bid to sell sexy to little girls now that s something i d really like to shout about but in terms of bare faced fact of course swinson is absolutely right this is false advertising using a celebrity head or eye lid chock a block with extensions to sell a volumising shampoo or mascara is mendacious the product is making a visual promise it cannot deliver in reality it does so brazenly no our mascara is not good enough to give you the look of actual false lashes so we will stick false lashes on and admit it but hope you ll still buy it and hope to look as though you re wearing actual false lashes with the pulled ads the ruling is that the images are misleading that the ban was upheld surprised me greatly after all what beauty advert is not misleading from the supremely slim and lithe limbs showcased in shaving ads utterly hairless yet being shorn nonetheless to the invisible pure pores of those deep cleansing foams the exaggerated before and afters as ubiquitous as those blindingly bright smiles but back to that fantasy thing in my mind i know that i will never ever wake up looking like julia roberts or eva mendes or cheryl cole but getting airbrushed skin i know this is possible cosmetic airbrushes do exist sk ii air touch foundation for example wowee that stuff took years off and added hours of sleep on and i could show you the before and after pictures to prove it many believe that this ban is a sign of things to come that consumers are growing increasingly tired and cynical of over inflated claims but that there are many beauty products out there which employ sound science and ground breaking technology in those foundations designed for use in an hd tv generation for example seems beside the point here if the world s most beautiful women are not deemed beautiful enough to sell a face cream without getting a bit of help what does that say about the rest of us lost causes i think the ban will serve simply as a warning brands will become a bit more cautious and then it will be business as usual that these idealised images can prove harmful to a woman s sense of self esteem is inarguable swot up on the psychologies beauty manifesto http www psychologies co uk beauty join our campaign for positive beauty for a deeper read but i believe such things are far less harmful to women than so many other insidious institutional and oft ignored and damaging issues that s my sticking point airbrushing is as old as the hollywood hills and retouching well what about those portraits of anne of cleves that coaxed henry into a blind marriage people like to hark on about the good old days when movie stars were allowed to break the mould when people looked unusual and idiosyncratic beauty was celebrated i am not convinced by this line of thought those old gals succumbed to more than their fair share of jiggery pokery too eyebrows shaved realigned re drawn hairlines moved back or up at the sides noses shaved and slimmed permanently and painfully hair colour altered at a director s whim and slimming pills dolled out like popping candy in a bid to shrink starlets down to size swinson s conclusion pictures of flawless skin and super slim bodies are all around but they don t reflect reality said swinson excessive airbrushing and digital manipulation techniques have become the norm but both christy turlington and julia roberts are naturally beautiful women who don t need retouching to look great this ban sends a powerful message to advertisers let s get back to reality my conclusion let s focus on positive imagery and confidence boosting messages do away with the beauty rules break all moulds stop selling sex in lieu of scent fantasy has its place and that does not bother me but when fantasy masquerades as empowerment that really really does read more here http www guardian co uk media 2011 jul 27 loreal julia roberts ad banned http www guardian co uk commentisfree 2011 jul 29 loreal adverts pulled by

project or cash cow i ve had a wee look behind the velvet curtains these past few weeks taking on more consultancy and meeting up with a series of beauty insiders in pursuit of the very best pages for my magazine i ve had my aspirations deflated do you want to know who is behind most beauty brands two people one s in a suit and the other s in a lab coat if you re lucky if not the other s in a suit too flogging ready made things over the internet which get mixed together in a place where the labour is cheap and no waiting one pays and one enables but who brings the passion to the table unfortunately there are more brands than i could possibly name even those little homegrown varieties that seem so much like happy endings that were set up by business executives investment bankers financiers who had no knowledge of or personal interest in the actual meaning of a beauty product we know that every product makes a promise it s an emotional thing we pick it up smell it rub it in wish for it to do all those things it says it will because we re drawn into the story on sale whether you want to be the clear skinned jet setting businesswoman or the ageing gracefully stay at home mother the whisper is the same i know what you want i care about you i will work for you i promise i ve had my innocent little mind burnt before brands i d held up as true reflections of a private passion were rather more pictures of filling gaps in gaping markets and an entrepreneur whom i d long admired a household name synonymous with changing the face of beauty retail is by all accounts someone who cares not a jot for her people but rather the glow you get after making all that green don t get me wrong i get business i also understand that there are some enormous brands out there that are producing very impressive ground breaking science led launches and offering advanced skin solutions at affordable prices to those who d otherwise remortgage their house to get the same benefits i m also as driven to be successful as the next woman but if my brand is all about passion about a belief in doing something better about providing a solution when there s none to be found about working on something for my friends my family on making people feel good i d like to think i d put my money where my heart is to this end i ve taken on a rather lovely consultancy project that of course i m unable to say anything about suffice it to say it s a big deal promising great affordable green products with a host of exciting and interesting usps watch this space working with people who care who get ill because they care too much is how i work to if it matters it ought to give you a belly ache that s just me but among this school of beauty sharks are some true soulful passionate people i ve been to lunch with them we ve shared secrets they ve made me smile they get a bit too loud when talking about what matters because that s what really matters geraldine howard of

women all with the goods to back it up posted by miss malcontent at 17 39 4 comments labels aromatherapy associates balance me being content mama mio sarah chapman this works thursday 19 may 2011 sponsored post espa lift firm range this is a sponsored post but it s still me ordinarily this is absolutely not my bag i have never accepted money for reviews certainly not false good reviews but when espa approached handpicked re their new lift firm range i had the inside track having met with founder sue harmsworth a few weeks before the line hit shelves and secreted a few products into my bathroom cabinet for testing i didn t need a payment prod to get typing on this one here s why the new lift firm range is comprised of 5 new products lift firm intensive serum moisturiser eye serum eye moisturiser and face mask it s a lovely tight little range of targeted treatments designed for 40 skins mama malcontent got a full set to trial i d already thumbs upped the mask and here is what she said it all smells lovely for a start not fake floral or astringent or overpoweringly nice it s clean and simple a bit like a breath of fresh sea air i stuck with it for 3 weeks cleansing every night with my normal wash off then the first time i used it i exfoliated with a kate somerville product before rinsing off and using the intensive serum it s got a great feel to it silky without being siliconey and sinks in beautifully you only need a couple of drops but i was tempted to put some more around my eyes laughter lines and across my neck because it felt very pleasant i then massaged in the moisturiser tapped on a couple of drops of the eye serum then a drop of the eye moisturiser under each interestingly because i normally use a face oil and a cream i noticed the difference in using a serum and cream my skin felt watered rather than oiled and i liked it the next day i did the same thing but used the mask first it s lovely this i like argan oil already and this has rather a lot in it i m told by my daughter it s lovely high grade stuff too along with nice sounding things like pellan silt and frankincense i put it on before a bath left it on for 20 minutes and skin really did have a noticeable soft bouncy feel to it afterwards those superficial dehydration lines looked better and deeper lines across forehead and under eyes softened too so yes it hydrates nicely and makes an immediate difference because of it i continued using all the products so mask 2 3 times a week and everything else eye serum in morning eye moisturiser at night because i like a fresher feel in the day and a creamier treat before bed and my skin feels 1 softer 2 lines look a bit softer which i can tell is because my skin is just better fed and getting more hydration etc and 3 does indeed feel a bit firmer it s been a very busy and chaotic few weeks with not a huge amount of sleep and i m convinced that i d look knackered if not for these products i look tired but wouldn t scare off little children result oh and i also like the fact that none of these products feel heavy they sink in soothe smell good and nothing needs to be massaged in over over before skin drinks it up i ve used some very very expensive creams in the past thanks again to my daughter which have felt sticky and oily and none of the lift firm products do any of that you do feel the difference sooner than you see it and i fully intend to stick with it for 6 8 weeks because first impressions are positive ones www espaonline com so there you have it right from the mama malcontent s mouth posted by miss malcontent
