Opening of Ballinamore Salon featured on www.lizbiz.wordpress.com
By Liz Biz
I went to the opening of a lovely beauty + hair+wellbeing shop in Ballinamore a few Sundays ago.
The place looks and feels very welcoming and has a total experience of services. It is owned by Grainne Caldbeck (who I hear has given treatments to Posh and Becks).
|
| |
|
Decleor and Dermalogica are the skincare ranges that are used and when I had a free hand massage at the opening (thanks Helen) the Decleor oil smelled divine … and made my hands feel great.
Enhance provides a range of services - a kind of one stop beauty and relaxation centre |
| |
| Hair |
|
| Manicures & Pedicures |
|
| Massage & Facials |
|
| As soon as I can I’m in there for a massage. The room is really relaxing and warm.

Celebs views on Dermalogica |

• I use the Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster
everyday. I use it alone or mix it with my moisturizer.
It’s such an easy way to make sure that my skin
is protected.
Courtney Cox
• I’m a massive fan of Dermalogica
Products especially the Multivitamin Power Firm Eye
treatment
Denise van Outen
• Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel. I don’t
have the time or energy to follow a complicated skin
regime with a hundred different products. This is my
fail-safe, all-in one way to remove make up and get
my skin feeling smooth and soft.
Danni
Minogue
• I do like to take
care of myself. I use pretty much everything from Dermalogica:
the Skin Prep Scrub, the Microfoliant and the Skin Smoothing
Cream. All the make-up ladies seem to use Dermalogica
and it really seems to work.
Jimmy Carr
• I love face packs (masques) too and try
to do two a week…using Dermalogica’s Multivitamin
Recovery Masque, which I call my little ambulance in
a tube.
Victoria Beckham
• I use the Skin Smoothing Cream to moisturise
and I always remove my make-up no matter what! I have
Dermalogica facials – I walk out beaming and feel
like I have a new face.

I am writing to just say how much
I love the PurePressed Pressed Minerals Base in
Warm Sienna, PureMatte Finish Powder, and Moonglow.
I am a very fair woman of color and it is quite
hard for me to find foundations that will match
my unique skin tone. I also have sensitive, acne-prone
skin and I have to be VERY careful about what
I put on my face. For many years, I had depended
on liquid and cream foundations to give my skin
more of a polished look and make my skin tone
look even. But, all these foundations did was
cause damage. |
|
| |
They would cause me to have horrible
breakouts, look unnatural, and cause redness. I just
knew that there had to be something better out there
for me. Because, I had wasted so much money buying foundations
that just didn't meet the grade. In December 2007,
I ordered from the Jane Iredale line for the first
time. I felt in my heart that these products were
going to be different as they are pure and are used
on some of the world's most famous television faces.
So, I felt that I had more to gain than I had to lose.
After, I received all of my Jane Iredale products,
I immediately went and washed my face and then applied
moisturizer. Next, I applied the PurePressed Base,
PureMatte Finish Powder, and Moonglow. After applying
all three, I was simply ecstatic at the results. My
face looked healthy, even toned, and down right gorgeous!
I was just so happy that I had finally taken a chance
on a line of products that actually work! I have never
experienced any breakouts with the Jane Iredale products
and my face has actually started clearing up with
continued use! I don't experience any redness with
any of the products. And, the products truly do last
all day until I wash them off.
What people are saying!

I am blown away by the results I have had
and it has been less than a week I have been using
the makeup. I have suffered with rosacea for the
past few months and because I am pregnant, I have
not been able to take medication to treat it.
Although I have been able to use an antibiotic
cream which helps, I still have had a lot of redness
and dryness, it’s just been miserable. Since
I have been using the makeup that is all almost
gone! I can not believe the results I have had;
this makeup is a miracle. Not even to mention
the terrific coverage, to me that is just a bonus.
The biggest benefit is what I have seen in my
skin before I even put the makeup on. I can’t
thank Jane Iredale enough for not only inventing
this makeup, but making it available to the public.
I can’t wait to see what my skin looks like
in a month! |

I just want to let you know
that I love, love, love your Liquid Minerals.
Warm Silk is a great match for my skin tone, and
just a tiny drop makes my skin look flawless and
lasts all day. The pump bottle should win every
packaging award that exists. It is spill-proof,
and allows you to use every last drop of the product.
I use it every day and one bottle lasted five
months!
It's clear that you really care about the quality
of the products that carry your name. Your goal
to improve the look and texture of each individual's
skin is something that is overlooked in the cosmetic
community. Most companies seem content to cash
in on the latest trends. What the industry fails
to realize is that great looking skin is never
out of fashion. |

I 'm a photographer and some of my clients
ask me to do their makeup prior to their photo
session. I always reach for your products. They
work fabulously on all skin types; I use your
bases on men, as well, to cover imperfections.
Also, Jane, I've used your bases instead of selftanner—
they work excellently!! No need for anyone to
use one of those products that are full of poreclogging,
irritating ingredients. Oh, how I
love your 24-Karat Gold Dust (all shades), your
Matte Finish Powder and your PureGloss for Lips!!
Your bases are terrific!! Thank you, thank you
for all your products, your concern for quality
and purity, plus, your first-class customer
service all of which inspires customer loyalty.

I just want to KISS you for
coming up with such a WONDERFUL product! (Amazing
Base loose powder). In my 25 years as a make-up
artist I truly have not found a cosmetic that
would actually help my rosacea condition.
You graciously answered my questions concerning
this situation over a year ago and encouraged
me to use the product...finally I began using
Amazing Base exclusively as a base/powder. Within
a few days I noticed a difference in the tone
of my skin and 2 weeks later my ruddy cheeks were
almost unnoticeable.
I went for a facial 2 days ago and was told that
it didn't look like I even had rosacea. It is
finally under control.
Being a platform make-up artist and having my
face on camera, everything shows!! I can now step
on the stage with confidence, not worrying about
my flushed face. I am thrilled to have discovered
this product and am so happy for your continued
success

OPI |

As every celebrity will attest, OPI nail polishes are
also a must-have. Madonna wore OPI's Italian Love Affair
for her wedding to Guy Ritchie, while Jennifer Aniston
loves Dinner for Two and Kate Hudson adores Breakfast
in Bed. Who doesn't? J LO loves “I only drink
Champagne” by OPI

OPI is showing rich navy (like the sky at midnight!)
and black returns this season but with a slight red
sparkle to it. Check out OPI’s Russian Collection.
I picked up four shades from their collection: An Affair
in Red Square, (a gorgeous jewel-tone red), Vodka &
Caviar (a darker shade of red minus the sparkle), Midnight
in Moscow, (an almost black shade with a sparkle of
maroon/red) and Russian Navy (a gorgeous shade of sapphire
blue that I’ll wear on my toes!). I want to
take a minute to tell you guys about one of my favorite
nail polish lines. Hollywood based company OPI is
the world leader in professional nail care.
A Beautiful, well-groomed nail is an important part
of your overall look. Attractive nails and hands enhance
your appearance, whether you spend your days in a
kitchen or in a boardroom. A basic manicure takes
between 25-45 minutes.
For those of you that don’t know how to give
yourself a great manicure, there are artificial nail
services, such as tips, acrylics and gels. The cost
is pretty reasonable, it only takes about an hour,
and the results are definitely worth it. When you
go and get a professional manicure, they usually a
use an expenssive, good quality nail polish like OPI
If you can do your own manicures, try one of the many
beautiful colors that OPI has to offer. You can preview
the different colors they have by going to their “Try
It On Studio”.
OPI is always introducing new colors and collections.
Some of their current collections are:
The Mexico Collection features bright,
bold colors inspired by the Mexican culture.
The Chicago Collection offers 1940’s
style nail colors ranging from bleached, barely-there
tones accented with acidic tints, to black, gunmetal
greys and sumptuous dark violets in shades of red
and blue that are jolted by beams of electric color,
for a seductive, irresistible look.
The Designers Series introduces their
new Exclusive ProWide™ Brush. This new flat
brush is precisely designedso that the specially-shaped
bristles align in a stack, creating a smooth, flat
surface. This revolutionary new design allows the
brush to hold more Nail Lacquer, spread it more quickly
and evenly, and deliver a smooth, streak-free application.
Apply Nail Lacquer by stroking the flat side of the
brush along the nail, from cuticle to tip. An extraordinary
fusion of couture and technology, The Designers Series
by OPI is a line of twelve Nail Lacquers so unique
and exceptional, it is meant to be savored by only
the most exclusive audience.
The Classic Colors goes back to basics,
bringing out the best of your favorites shades and
colors. Preview the shades by tones or by name. From
brown tones, to red tones, to pink tones, you are
sure to find the color for you.
The Princess Charming Collection
features a touch of soft, chic color in sheerly magical
new shades for nail and lips, that look fabulous ever
after. Beautiful gold, pinks, and beige tones that
are feminine and elegant.
The Bright Collection is OPI’s
newest collection and offers bold, vivid, beautifully
bright shades for fingers and toes! It’s an
entire spectrum of super bright colors. As much fun
as a brand new box of crayons, but even better because
you can wear them! Colors like Atomic Orange, Flashbulb

your summer. And they just added 12 new colors to
the Bright Collection.
