By eliminating toxins, Nichola's unique facial instantly gives radiance and tone to the skin. It also reduces any puffiness and makes the eyes clear.

Nichola gives great deep tissue body massages and de-stressing shoulder rubs and uses a wide range of products suitable for all needs and skin types.
There is still an ever growing exitement over semi-permanent eye lash extensions. Amazing for special occasions, holidays or everyday glamour!
Do you ever wish you could wake up with beautiful eyelashes, every day ,without mascara and with no effort whatsoever? It is possible!!
Lash extensions can last for up to 90 days...an individual lash is applied to one single eyelash and is fused permanently, thus living comfortably on there for the rest of that lashes life, until it's naturally ready to drop out.
Once at least 50% of your natural lashes have been extended, your eyes and face take on a whole new fabulous appearance, making you look more awake, your beauty regime is reduced and you look fantastic, permanently!
Whether you are looking for a subtle enhancement or a full glamorous effect, you will be amazed at the results! Warning* Lash Extensions are seriously addictive : )
18th April 2013
After a long winter our skin tends to be rather dry and dehydrated, this is due to the chilly outside and indoor heating. The extreme's zap your skin of it's natural moisture, often leaving a dull complexion. I often get asked "what can I do to brighten my skin?" Through giving Facials to countless women around the world, I've spent years researching various ways to create glow-restoring results...
GENTLE EXFOLIATION
I believe gentle exfoliation is just as crucial as moisturizing. One of the factors greatly affecting our skin is cellular turnover, which naturally slows down around 24/25 years of age. Children generally have soft and supple skin, and the reason is due to their high cell turnover rate. One of my favourite products is the Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant £35, which I use every other day with my cleanser. The blend of chickpea flour, thermal mud and strawberry extract loosens and removes dirt, excess oil and makeup from pores. The result is super-cleansed, gently exfoliated skin.

Shoreditch House Event - Feb 4th
Lost in Beauty joined forces with Shoreditch House to offer members a wonderful treat of mini facials with our resident skin guru Charlotte Colwell, alongside Hannah giving reflexology to the hands and feet. The ultimate duo left guests feeling fantastic.
The night was a huge success filled with in-depth beauty talk, skin care tips and advice, girlie gossip accompanied by yummy food & delicious wine.
Matches Fashion and Coutts bank teamed up last week for an exciting event at the Roundhouse in Camden. The idea behind the evening was to show the employees and clients of worldwide bank Coutts the latest clothing and fashion trends for the upcoming seasons.
We were backstage at hand to prep the male and female models for the fashion show. Our brief was classy, young, fresh makeup. For the girls we kept it simple with a nice natural coverage on the skin, skin shimmer to give it a dewy look and for each outfit we went with a slightly different eye makeup look. Varying from a smokey eye, to a nude eye with bright lip. There was a great vibe backstage, and a very quick turnover of outfits.
The show went amazingly, here are some pictures of what we go up to...

'Lost in Beauty' has such a narrative that I wanted to create a piece of art on the shop front that mirrors that and allows customers/passers-by to experience a saturated visual image that will entice them into a mindset of all things beautiful and expresses the artistry of make-up. My work taps into the female psyche, as it exudes bright colour, floral and curvaceous patterns, glossy finishes and sparkling details.
We fell in love with Coco's adorable dresses. A selection of her designs will be on sale from July 5th. Come in and give one a try!

This month we have dedicated our Get the Look to the timeless beauty that is Dame Helen Mirren. Taking a look at her fabulous make-up techniques and what helps create that youthful radiant glow... There aren't many women in their 60's that are such iconic, style setters!
The most important and obvious part to Helen's regime is that she really looks after her skin. Regular facials are so important. The weather makes a huge difference to your skin condition - We recommend having a facial once every other month or at least with every season change. Your skin needs attention and care. A deep cleanse, exfoliation, extraction and massage will prep your skin perfectly. We would also suggest trying a specialist, bespoke facial at least twice a year. We have the fantastic A-list facialist, NICHOLA JOSS, in store once a month, her unique technique has proven to be extremely popular and gives amazing results. It is a MUST try!!
29th April 2012
If there was one event we all wanted to be at in the middle of April it had to be COACHELLA!! The hype is still buzzing and the stories keep coming! It's got us all very excited about the forthcoming UK festival season (hoping the weather picks up for them…… :-/) So this month we want to dedicate our "get the look" to one of the fabulous artists that attended the very stylish Coachella festival.
Looking at the pictures, it was Rihanna that really stole the show for us – as ever! She achieved the perfect festival look; Fresh faced, flawless skin and an amazing red lip, which added attitude and sex appeal to her super cool & casual look throughout the weekend.
Rihanna's hair and nails are ever changing – but the makeup generally remains pretty classic. With the run up to summer we need our skins looking fresh, dewy and plump. One of our newer brands, OSKIA – (a luxury nutritional range that has 98% natural ingredients, 100% active.) Contains a pure MSM ingredient that creates a healthier, smoother and younger-looking complexion. Check out their GET UP AND GLOW serum – which I can't get enough of!! A great make-up base that helps brighten the skin leaving a natural shimmer, packed with ingredients that brighten, plump and evens out the skin tone.
Q. My hair is greasy on top but dry on the ends.. How do I get that perfect shine on my hair without it looking too greasy but also treat the ends and help the dryness?
A. Moroccan Oil is an amazing treatment and styling product in one! Apply a very small amount onto towel dried hair, mid length to the end of your ends and style as normal. This gives a beautiful shine to the hair once dried, plus benefiting the dry ends. Another trick is to put a couple of pumps onto your hair - root to end and sleep in it as an intensive treatment. When you wash it out your hair is so silky smooth :)
PURE DEAD BRILLIANT!
pdb was born in Bali but has its roots in New York, London, Barcelona, Paris and Scotland. pdb is reflective of an international lifestyle, representing a growing population of a global tribe who have grown up and lived on continents across the world, whose style transcends one city, one culture, one language, people who feel at home in multiple countries and like to reflect that in the way they dress.
The designer, Nora Logan, grew up in Hong Kong, London, and New York, and has also lived in Florence, Scotland, and Paris. Nora moved to Bali after having finished a degree in Art History and French, deciding to leave the London grind behind. There she was inspired to create her own collection of jewelry with her own distinctive twist of a third-culture-kid background. pdb is about having fun with the pieces and making a statement. Using the best material she can source— 925 sterling silver, 22ct gold vermeil and brass—Nora draws upon the local resources in Bali working with the most talented and expert artisans to make these unique pure dead brilliant pieces.

Our beauty team are always busy working their magic on editorial & advertising shoots....Here are some recent images taken from a beauty shoot by photographer Desmond Muckian. Make-Up artist Georgie Hamed created 3 looks that tend to be the most popular choice for party girls.
1. The ever so sultry Smokey Eye portrays attitude and sex appeal. Black kohl eye liner and shadow, blended softly to the eyelid & lower lash line, followed by 2 coats of mascara. Groom the brows, apply a nude lippie and minimal blush for the ultimate rock chick look!
2. For those who dare, a bright coral red lip is the perfect statement look and a great shade on olive skin tones. Keep the rest of your make-up to a minimum with a luminous base, nude eyes and some natural contouring on the cheeks.
Pop into the store and let us help you find the perfect lipstick that works with your skin tone.
3. A classic red lip for those who can carry it off is always a winner, team this with black liquid eyeliner, some individual lashes on the outer corner and a coat of mascara. Keep the skin looking flawless with a matt foundation and a light sweep of blusher to enhance the cheekbones.
Book in for a make-up application and let us transform you into glamourous, gorgeous goddesses!

Our new resident nail expert Jenni gives us the lowdown from her hectic week at the shows
S/S12 looks like it's broken the boundaries when it comes to nail trends, this LFW saw an array of nail looks.
The chic nude nails are still hanging in there, with tones to match every skin tone. More daring was the 'twisted french' manicures (upside down or reverse french style) or half moon manicures using brights (pinks, purples, corals) and contrasting colours as well as pretty floral colours.
And of course we saw some super cool nail art, not always as easy to recreate at home but don't fear as we'll be seeing a lot of Metallic nails as well as texture and effect polishes that are simple to do yet amazingly effective!
