Beauty Questions – Winter 2009

Natural Olive Cream

I am 25 years old and always had fairly good to normal skin. I have always used very light moisturisers for years but think it’s now time to get a slightly stronger one. I would like one which keeps skin smooth, fresh and tightens pores (if possible!) but nothing too rich or heavy. Likewise for an eye cream to postpone those first few lines . . .

I’ve just discovered a great little beauty brand called ‘Ziaja’. Their Natural Olive line €7.49 is a light formula range which absorbs well and has the smoothing property you are looking for. In particular, try their product olive cream’, which is suitable for dry to normal skin.

For your eyes, I would recommend their ‘Goats milk eye cream’ €6.79 which moisturises, nourishes, tones, tightens, smoothens and prevents – all in one jar! Ziaja is available at McCabes Pharmacy Group. For more information on Ziaja products, www.ziaja.ie

Fashion Questions – Winter 2009

I am finding it very hard to find party wear for the Xmas season. I am 5ft 10 and quite slim, I find it hard to get outfits that suit me. I end up buying one off pieces that don’t go with anything i have in my wardrobe. What’s hot this season. Thanks

High street stores will start to get their party dresses in soon! Check out shops such as Debenhams who has nice dresses by Star by Julien Macdonald. I would need more detail of your figure but presuming you have a medium chest and with your tall slender figure nearly anything would suit you!! This season sees a lot of one-of-shoulder dresses as well as bustier dresses that have frills on the waist. River Island is good to check out as well as Karen Millen and Coast! Lipsy is good for little dresses and BT2 stocks that label or they have a shop in Dundrum Town Centre!
