How does your range differ from other haircare brands?

Coming from the midwest, I've created my line for real women - women like my mother. I just happened to test it doing make-overs on top television shows! My main goal has always been and remains to do my best to make women look their best and I'm proud to have been recognized for that alone.

What are the most stylish hair styles this winter and how can we recreate them ourselves?

The most stylish looks this season are those which celebrate a woman's unique individual beauty. Gone are the days of telling women that they must change themselves to be 'trendy'.

This season enhance what God gave you! Create your best curls, work with your straight hair, enhance your brown or blonde - BE THE BEST YOU THIS SEASON! My products help create beautiful, shiny, healthy-looking hair that is always in season!!

Beauty Day is on its way!

Hi everyone, Alison here,

Just dropped in to tell you that one of my favourite days of the year is coming up - Beauty Day on Sunday 22nd November. It's a day packed full of beauty, what could be better?

I'm so looking forward to our Beauty Day Today's Special Value as it's a Decleor collection which contains Hydra Floral Moisturiser. This product is their world-wide, most iconic moisturiser - I've used and recommended it for 25 years and Fiona has too for almost all her life!

If you want to buy a beauty gift for someone (Mum, wife, daughter etc.), this is perfect as it's great for all skin types.

As well as this, we've got some special-priced items, great gift ideas, presenter wishlists from Julia, Catherine, Anne and Pipa - plus, I'll be revealing my favourite beauty buys on the day and you could win them and more!

Put it in your diary now!

Keeley's Elemis tips and answers to your questions

Hi everyone,

I'm back on your screens tomorrow at 11am and 11pm so I thought I'd drop in to share a few tips and answer a couple of your questions...

It's so important to have even a really basic skincare routine. Just simply cleansing, toning and moisturising can help improve the look of your skin - very important with the party season fast approaching!

Step one: Firstly you should pick a cleanser and toner suited to your skin type. In the Elemis skincare range you can choose from normal to dry, normal to combination or sensitive options.

All Elemis cleansers use natural bases and pure plant extracts including lecithin to gently cleanse away make-up and grime. Elemis toners are alcohol-free and are designed to rebalance the skin’s pH level.

Step two: After cleansing and toning, you should always moisturise to help protect the skin. Choose your moisturiser based on your skincare concerns i.e. if you’re starting to see the first signs of ageing then choose Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, or if dehydration is your main concern choose Maximum Day & Night Cream.
 

Create the perfect manicure with Leighton Denny

Hi ladies, Leighton Denny here,

Just dropped in to tell you about my exciting Today's Special Value and to share a few tips to help you get the best results. Whether you want bold colour or beautifully natural nails, The Ultimate Collection has all you need to achieve your favourite look, quickly and simply, in the comfort of your own home.

With an assortment of gorgeous products, including brand-new nail polishes, anyone can re-create my well-known nail looks. From the classic French Manicure to kooky colour cocktails, this selection of top-notch items will allow you to create a different look for each day of the week, and more besides!

How to create a flawless French Manicure

There's no need for perfect eyesight or a steady hand - just follow these simple, step-by-step instructions.

1. Apply a Base Coat to your nails, such as Undercover. When dry, dab your Natural White Nail Varnish across the tip of each nail.

2. Use the Precision Brush dipped into Corrector Liquid like an eraser to carefully wipe away the excess white polish and make a gentle curve. Wipe the brush on a tissue after each use.

Gift ideas and skincare tips from Elemis expert Keeley

With Christmas on the horizon, we caught up with Elemis expert Keeley to find out how she's spending the festive season with baby Kaya and what her top gift ideas are...

How will you be spending your first Christmas with baby Kaya?
I'll be spending time with my family definitely, spoiling Kaya rotten, and with lots of food and pressies. We may even try and get away somewhere hot this year, which would be lovely!

What do you want to find under the Christmas tree this year?

I would love anything Disney as I'm still a real child at heart - Kaya is a great excuse now to bring out the child in me! I would also love to find the Elemis Bathtime Indulgence under my tree to really create that ultimate evening of pampering! Gorgeous aromas enveloped on your skin whilst snuggled up on the sofa in that amazing dressing gown, what a perfect way to relax!
