Beauty Flash: Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster

Clarins reinvented the art of self tanning and launched Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster, an exceptional product which is incredibly easy to use, with effective results, to give every woman a beautiful healthy glow in a single step.A radiant, made-to-measure tan which can be adjusted to deliver the result you want and looks incredibly natural from the first application.

It's quick and easy and can be used every day.It's the new self tanner from Clarins.Presented in a very handy dropper bottle, Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster is the first Clarins self tanner designed to add radiance and a healthy glow benefit to all your face creams.Simply mix a small amount of your regular day or night cream in the palm of the hand with three drops of Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster.Then over the following days, depending on the result obtained, continue to apply 3 drops as before to intensify a tan or 2 drops to maintain your tan.

The unique formula of Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster can be mixed with all types of textures: cream, gel, oil, etc.In this way, you can combine a very natural-looking self tan result with all the moisturizing, anti-wrinkle and firming benefits of your regular day andnight products and make your life easier too! As with all self tanning products, always remember to wash hands thoroughly after use.

Very precise quantities of natural DHA and erythrulose were studied by Clarins Research, resulting in a formula that promotes a very natural-looking tanned colour.It gives fair complexions a pretty sun-kissed glow and warms darker complexions in just a few hours.You can also adjust the intensity of the tan by reapplying every day, until the desired colour is obtained.When the product is no longer applied, the tan gradually fades.

Nada Debs

To say that the work of design pioneer and trendsetter Nada Debs is sensitive would be to accurately describe what is effectively an intrinsic part of the philosophy of this timeless, global brand.And it is just that.A philosophy.Each carefully hand crafted piece evokes an emotion, and there is a palpable spiritual energy that is emitted from every curve, texture and detail of her work.A reflection of hours of love and labour to create a piece that is more than furniture.It is a story with a soul.A soul that borrows from the history of the East and interprets centuries of craft and knowledge in a contemporary reference.

With her formative years in Japan, Debs immersed herself in the clean, linear and uncluttered Japanese sensibility, which she carries in her work to this day.That coupled with her passion for the East, created the perfect blend of design and decoration, which has become her inimitable signature.It is from her contrasting environments that Debs embraced the concept of opposites finding the harmony between them and blending ornamental Middle Eastern with minimalist Japanese as well as contemporary with the timeless.The unique Nada Debs identity was formed celebrating the luxurious yet approachable sensibility of her work.

Deb's work is almost a language.A communication of positivity and unity; a notion that is often lost in our modern age.A product of human emotion and energy, her work glorifies ancient craft techniques and brings them to the fore, inspiring a movement aptly named ‘Craft Cool,’ which serves as a platform for designers reviving and celebrating valuable crafts and techniques.Debs encourages and invites just such creators to join the movement, as she passionately preseveres to ensure these precious intricacies endure.

From conception to the living room, the life of the furniture evolves from a historical pattern or motif to a final rendition, detailed with decorative elements either deconstructed, reconstructed, or sometimes even magnified to great proportions, lending a modern nuance to every piece.Every collection marries unexpected materials and textures bringing a refreshing sense of unpredictability in Debs work.It is a celebration of the tactile, inspiring touch, and hence the pulse and life of the piece.

Exploring the work of Nada Debs is akin to embarking on a historical journey of the east from where she draws much inspiration.The rich and evocative trail of the notorious Silk Route, ancient geometry and patterns and motifs from various eastern countries and cultures highlight the timeless nature of her creations.Influencer Nada Debs' work has become highly covetable across the globe and is available today in London, New York, Paris, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Dubai amongst others.

Ayyam Gallery London is pleased to announce We'll Build This City on Art and Love, the forthcoming solo exhibition of Syrian-Kuwait artist Shurooq Amin.Recognised for her cutting-edge approach to painting, which combines diverse media in the creation of bold portraits, Amin is a prominent figure of the contemporary Kuwaiti art scene. In her latest body of work, the artist explores a wide range of social maladies, from child marriage in war-affected areas to the marginalisation of migrants in the Gulf, and the moral and material ramifications of stalled construction projects such as Silk City, which initially promised the revitalisation of Kuwait’s infrastructure.

In We'll Build This City on Art and Love the artist employs materials as diverse as wood, reclaimed photographs, and Braille.Such formal accents are utilised with reference to individual histories while engaging tactile possibilities, and are brought together to expand Amin’s chosen themes.Literary figures long admired by Amin, including Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani and British author Lewis Carroll, are among several influences that can be found in the visual motifs of her whimsical yet challenging works. 

The exhibition will also mark the UK launch of a new monograph on Shurooq Amin with a conversation between the artist, Ayyam Gallery founder Khaled Samawi, and Anthony Downey, contemporary art scholar and Editor in Chief of Ibraaz. 


Date      : 13 November, 2014 - 10 January, 2015


Timings : 12 November 6PM - Onwards

                13 November (6PM - 8PM)

Beauty Flash: Tria Beauty Age-Defying Laser

Lasers have long been big anti-ageing beauty favourites amongst celebrities.Thanks to Tria, you can now achieve the same youthful celebrity look without breaking the bank!

Tria, the world leader in at-home laser skincare treatments, introduces the Skin Rejuvenating Laser, the first to offer clinical-strength laser technology in a device that can be used safely at home.Also called the Age-Defying Laser by beauty experts, the Skin Rejuvenating Laser is clinically proven to treat multiple signs of facial ageing, such as wrinkles, skin discoloration and rough skin.

FDA-cleared, Health Canada-approved and CE-marked for sale in Europe, the hand-held device uses non-ablative fractional laser technology designed for women of all skin types.It sends targeted beams of light deep within the skin to support natural collagen production, the exact same way that the professional treatments do.The skin feels warm, but the surface is left undisturbed.The Skin Rejuvenating Laser works to stimulate the body's natural cell renewal cycle to increase the production of collagen and elastin – as new collagen forms, fine lines, wrinkles, and imperfections are naturally sloughed away.In extensive clinical studies performed by leading physicians, 92 per cent of study participants expressed satisfaction with the treatment, reporting dramatic reduction of brown spots, redness and wrinkles, as well as showing overall skin texture improvement.

Celebrity Ambassador for Tria, Ereka Vetrini, who is also an American television personality having been a contestant on the first season of The Apprentice with Donald Trump in 2004, said, “The Skin Rejuvenating Laser is definitely a much better option than Botox or injections! It’s a really smart product, with the beams of light penetrating deep down to your dermis.You can actually feel it while working! Collagen build up is natural, so no more age spots and wrinkles.”
