I've been asked to be an "Expert" on the starhub beauty blogger site. Head over there to find out about products that I am reviewing and answers to questions. 

I was just asked which was the best eye-make up remover..hands down it's the Lancome one. So many of my clients tell me they love it too!

 You might like to know that Lancome and L'oriel have the same parent company so the L'oriel one is very similar and MUCH cheaper. Though it does not have as much as the active ingredients in it, but if you are on a budget then that will be a great alternative.

This weeks fashion FAUX PAS

You've put on a nice suit or lovely dress for work, taken time to do your make-up and then what do you do with your hair? Leave the house with it damp and twist it into a crocodile clip or worse still a SCRUNCHIE!!!!

Hair up, or a simple pony tail can be very chic, and particularly for my singapore clients then its a way to look cool and keep cool but there is more to a chic ponytail than simply sticking your hair in a band.

 

No! don't just pull your hair back and put it in a band. Is this a high ponytail or a low ponytail and look how scruffy the ends are and also the hair around the face.

 

Look at this lovely pony tail. This style is tied low at the nape of the neck and she's doing two things here to make it look chic. First she has serum to flatten any stray hairs from around her face and also add shine, and this simple trick really adds class, she's wound her hair around the hairband.

 

 Look at Nicole's classy pony. She probably has a hair piece under there for volume, but again, wrapping hair (or false hair) around a very high ponytail and scraped right back from her face. with smooth curls at the back.

 

Jessica Simpson has a very low side parting in this look, which is also an nice option. she has a little root lift at the crown and all stray hairs flattened and neat.

 

 

 This is a beautiful low ponytail with a soft piece worn loose in the front. Again see how a little back combing or drying hair upside down and adding root lift at the crown makes it look much more "done" and again, real hair used to camoflage the band.
 

If ponytails are good enough for the red carpet they are certainly good enough for you at work as long as they are blow dried and groomed like Kate's here. Even if you are just putting your hair up you still need to dry it to make it look sleek and neat.
