Annie Get Your Blush

Reaching new heights with Virgin Atlantic is now possible with their NEW lip colour.  Their latest venture, which has been created in collaboration with BareMinerals is aptly named ‘Upper Class Red’.

The scarlet lip colour – which matches Virgin’s iconic signature hue – is going on sale
at the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse Spas at Heathrow, Gatwick and New York and will
later be available at bareMinerals stockists. The famous make-up brand created
the lip product for Virgin, which will also sell the lip gloss through its
in-flight shopping guide.

The shade has been launched in conjunction with the airline’s redesigned upper class cabin. All female flight attendants will be showcasing the lip colour on the flight from London to New York.  And all Upper Class passengers will receive a free sample as a welcome gift.

Rebecca Creer, senior spas and grooming manager at Virgin Atlantic, said: ‘Red
hot lips have always been a trademark of our cabin crew, signifying the strength
and confidence they embody. With the launch of ‘Upper Class Red’, this is
finally being made available to passengers – meaning one swipe is all you need
to create a classic and timeless look – something our cabin crew can certainly
vouch for!’

Perhaps we’ll soon be seeing notoriously publicity-friendly Sir Richard
Branson – who once wore a wedding dress to launch Virgin Brides in 1996 -
sporting a crimson pout some time soon…

With the shade apparently suiting all skintones and designed to continually hydrate the lips, the crew are set to look even more glamorous than before, if that’s even possible.  So watch out for the vamp ladies in red next time you fly Virgin Atlantic.

The sun wasn’t the only thing that made an appearance at the weekend; legs
and other limbs up and down the country enjoyed their first outing of 2012 as
temperatures climbed and layers were stripped.  In order to prepare their pins for this important debut, Asda shoppers have been stocking up on instant bottled bronze, causing a sizzling sales increase of 35% across all tanning products.

And it’s not just Asda customers who are slapping it on – celebrities Holly
Vallance, Katie Price and Christine Bleakley have all recently been snapped
sporting the golden goddess glow.  With the dangers of sunbeds constantly in the news, sun-seeking senoritas are increasingly turning to the bottle to top up their tans – and the proof is in the press.

Laura Northend, Health and Beauty Customer Planner at Asda said: “It’s no surprise that we’ve seen such a surge in sales of fake tan at Asda. Our bodies have been in
hibernation throughout the winter months and while we can’t wait to feel the
warmth of the sun on our skin, we’re worried about revealing our ghastly pale
physiques and unsightly wishy-washy pins.
One coat of Asda’s fake tan will convert you in to a bronzed beauty in
no time – so get those legs out and strut your stuff in the summer sunshine”

Asda’s own brand self-tan range includes products that are specifically
designed for those who want instant sunshine in a bottle.  The Self-tan
lotion (200ml, RRP £3.50) develops in hours but can last days, it is also ideal for prolonging an existing tan.

Whilst the bronzing body make up, Instant Wear Lotion (150ml, £3.50), gives a natural looking golden tan in a matter of minutes, which then develops into a deeper bronzed natural looking tan which will last for days.

Then there is the Self Tan Gel (150ml, £3.50)

Which is a wash off formula Moisturising & Suitable for all skin types, and finally After Sun containing self-tan (200ml, £2.50).

The beauty with self tan is that you only have to use it where you need it, so if you are getting those pins out on show you can just put it on your legs, or if you have a short sleeved blouse or vest top, you an use it on your arms. But don’t forget ladies, preperation is the key, so don’t forget to exfoilate the skin to slough off any dead skin cells that way you don’t just ensure smooth distribution of the product, but you will have silky smooth golden pins too.  All you need to do then is pick your favoutite heels which will elongate your legs, and voila! You have instant toned and bronzed legs.
