Anyone who knows their beauty products knows that to achieve flawless skin, you need to work from the inside out.
A diet rich in Omega 3 fatty acids is essential if you want your skin in top condition – the perfect canvas for your favourite moisturiser or new foundation.
Here are some reasons Omega 3 should be your number one beauty product:
· Omega 3 fatty acids are responsible for the health of the skin’s cell membrane. They allow nutrients to pass through and waster products to be kicked out, keeping the skin healthy and glowing.
· Since the membrane is what influences the skin cells’ ability to hold water, keeping your diet rich in Omega 3 builds stronger membranes that result in softer, moisturised skin.
· It’s also important to remember that inflammation in the skin is connected to the ageing process and Omega 3 is known to reduce to body’s production of these inflammatory compounds.
Krill Oil is a powerful source of Omega 3 and is considered to be a more effective alternative to fish oil. Like humans, fish can’t actually make Omega 3 and they have to ingest it by eating krill and other marine sources.
Cleanmarine® Krill Oil decided to take out the middle man and bring krill directly to their health-conscious consumers, giving them the fastest and purest delivery of sustainable Omega 3 possible.
On top of making your skin look fabulous, Cleanmarine® Krill Oil also contains key ingredients such as B vitamins and rosemary oil to help relieve PMS symptoms. A study was carried out which yielded remarkable results. After 3 months participants in the trial recorded;
· Anxiety 70% less
· Bloating 69% less
· Cravings 59% less.
Sounds like a win-win to us! See more in a Health Case Study from the Independent here

We have to admit, Procter & Gamble’s latest campaign has changed the way we to do our beauty and household shopping!
The P&G Effect campaign has been launched to inform Irish consumers of the impressive science stories behind every-day P&G brands and showcases the value they bring to our lives.
P&G spends a staggering €2billion per year on research and development and there are many decades of science behind every single brand, making them amazing value for money.
Just look at all the effort that going in to making Pantene haircare!
– Pantene’s Research & Development community has more PHD scientists than the combined research faculty of MIT, Berkeley and Stanford – Wow!
– An atomic force microscope (AFM) like the one NASA has used to study the surface of Mars was used by Pantene to study the surface of the hair, to better understand how different hair fibres react with different ingredients, depending on their physical structure
– The methodology used to develop Pantene won a Nobel prize
And all we’re normally concerned about is how it makes our hair smell and feel!
The same goes for beauty products. Many of the girls in SHEmazing! HQ are guilty of not taking as much care of our skin as we should. After reading the below facts about Olay, luckily the scientists at P&G are doing all the hard work for us!
– Olay Professional is a new range of skin care products specifically designed and formulated with Olay scientists and world-leading independent dermatology experts
– Today Olay scientists are using the most advanced gene chip technologies and monitoring 9.4 million gene changes in a single experiment
– To fully realize skincare potential, Olay scientists collaborated with renowned international experts in dermatology, clinical methods, biochemistry and molecular biology to form the ‘Olay Professional Alliance for Skin Care Innovation’
And for those who don’t think science is sexy, read these facts and imagine how much fun you’d have working in Gillette! It’s nice to know P&G are minding our men as well as we are!
– Every day up to 80 men shave at the Gillette R&D site to better understand shaving habits and skin.
– Gillette razor blades are sharper than a surgeon’s scalpel
– Beard hair is as strong as copper wire
Eh, where can we apply?
P.S. It’s official your man was right and you do not need to use his razor ever! The Gillette and Gillette Venus teams share science and technology to ensure our we get the very best of their sexy science developments too!
The P&G Effect is a nationwide campaign which runs until December 2014 in participating retailers nationwide. #PGeffect
Following on from the success of her award-winning Heat fragrance range, Beyoncé has unveiled her latest fragrance, Wild Orchid, to the world.
With an “enticing, mouth-watering” scent, the fifth fragrance in the Beyoncé’s popular Heat range is an exotic one that channels the singer’s fierce and feminine energy.
With notes of coconut water, amber and pomegranate, it’s the Butterfly Orchid – believed to have magical aphrodisiac qualities – that gives Wild Orchid its exotic signature.
Beyoncé looks strikingly beautiful in the campaign for the new fragrance, shot by renowned photographer Michael Thompson, channelling the simmering seduction of the scent in a flowing purple organza gown.
Beyoncé Heat Wild Orchid is available in 30ml and 50ml sizes, and prices retail at €25.95 (30ml) and €33.95 (50ml).
Actress Ashley Tisdale has become the latest celebrity to join the rainbow hair club!
The High School Musical actress unveiled her newly-dyed lavender locks to fans of her Instagram page yesterday, writing: “I may have a cold but I got lavender in my bun”.
We are loving the new ‘do – perfect colour inspiration for us fellow blondes.
It’s a drastic new look for the 29-year-old actress, who is known for her trademark blonde tresses, and no doubt newlywed Ashley was waiting until after her recent marriage to singer Christopher French to make the change.
And it looks as though September is a month of double celebration for the star, as she also announced that the series in which she currently stars, ABC’s Young and Hungry, has been picked up for a second series.
Ashley couldn’t contain her excitement as she shared the good news with her social media followers, tweeting: “I am so excited…so proud of the whole team and cast of this show, truly talented people”.
Great news and a very funky new look for the star.
There is some amazing news for stunning model Karlie Kloss as she has been revealed as the new face of L’Oreal Paris!
The Victoria’s Secret runway phenomenon, who is currently living with Taylor Swift in New York City unveiled the exciting new project on her Instagram account with a video, writing: “Dreams do come true. I have worked hard my entire career to say, #BecauseImWorthIt. Thank you for believing in me @lorealparisfr @lorealparisusa.”
Wow – it sounds like this is something Karlie is super excited about, congratulations!
Brad Pitt, David Gandy, Bradley Cooper… all beautiful specimens, we agree.
While it would be difficult to choose between all three of them (not that we'd be complaining), we don't think the answer is to mould all of their faces together. Apparently though, the odd-looking man above is the perfect combination of what we look for in male beauty.
The Crown Clinic in Manchester surveyed 1,000 people to find out their favourite celebrity facial features, and used the results to put together an identikit version of the world's most handsome man. He's got David Gandy's jawline, Bradley Cooper's eyes, and Brad Pitt's nose.
Sounds good on paper but the overall effect is a bit unnerving.
To cover all bases, a second "perfect" man was also created using younger celebs – this time with Harry Styles' hair, Zac Efron's baby blues and Ryan Gosling's jawline.
Hmmm…. there's a lot of excess chin going on!
The Manchester ladies are welcome to this lad, we reckon we'd find someone better looking in Coppers!
We know that money can’t buy style, but can it buy beauty? After reading about these super expensive beauty products, we’d love to give them a try (if we won the lotto, obviously), though we’re not convinced they’d be any better than our highstreet brands… If only we could afford to find out for sure!
Azature Black Diamond Nail Polish
$250,000 (about €192,951)
The thought of forking out a quarter of a million dollars for a bottle of nail polish gave us heart palpitations. It costs so much because it’s made of black diamonds apparently. Hmmm… we’ll stick with the glitter, thanks!
La Prairie Skin Caviar Concealer Foundation
$195 (€150)
While this IS meant to be great foundation, unless it actually airbrushes our face, we won’t be shelling out for it anytime soon. Plus, experts say there’s no benefit to putting caviar on your face, because you can’t absorb nutrients through the skin. Just eat it instead!
Creme de la Mer
$150 (€115) per ounce
This stuff has a secret ‘miracle broth’ that’s meant to work wonders, but experts say that the reason people notice the effects of Crème de la Mer is because they make sure to use it every night since they’ve spent so much money on it. Also, they probably rub it in gently, rather than tugging and pulling at the skin like you might usually do.
Kanebo Sensai Collection, The Lipstick
$55 (€42.50)
Apparently the formula of this lipstick is based on Japan’s Koishimaru silk, but is that enough to convince you to part with that amount of money? We’d probably just end up losing it anyway – THEN how would we feel?
Jean Patou Joy Baccarat Pure Parfum
$1,500 (€1157)
This perfume is made by a flower that only grows for two weeks each year in Jean Patou’s fields. Over 10,000 blooms go into each bottle, so we can understand why this perfume is so expensive.

Khloé Kardashian has unveiled her brand new hairstyle – cornrows!
The reality TV star debuted her new hair on her Instagram account in a candid gym snap where she also blamed sister Kourtney for her unhealthy eating habits: “Monday with @gunnarfitness!!! I am determined to get my pre-hamptons, pre sympathy kourtney pregnancy weight off. Nothing comes east. Why do I blame Kourt though?!? Lol.”
The youngest Kardashian sister can be seen in the gym with her trained sporting some sunnies and her new cornrows.
We have to say, we’re not so sure about them but then again, a little experimenting every now and then can be lots of fun!
As women we love our products and bathroom cosmetics but as this guy proves – we may go overboard.
Parodying those beauty blogger videos we all know (and LOVE) this guy is basically our new hero.
But if he continues with that soap he's going to dry his skin out…
