Bumble & Bumble
Wednesday, 20th August 2008 - 12:06pm

Bumble & Bumble's mission is to be the best haircare company in the world. With a superb range of products, for every kind of hair, their product knowledge and innovative techniques are second to none.

We trialed a few of the Bumble & Bumble products in our office and everyone agreed how good they were. The brand simply reeks of quality - everything from their styling, the message they portray in their marketing and the products themselves do what they say on the tin.

You can purchase Bumble & Bumble products from http://www.wantthelook.com - a great website with lots of different brand name products on offer. 

Overall we reckon that everyone should at least try a Bumble & Bumble product. Learn more by visiting http://www.bumbleandbumble.com.

Both Karen and the Nouveau team have worked closely with Jade now for a number of years, most recently on her GI Jades Bootcamp.

We send all our love and support to Jade and her family in this difficult time .

Cervical cancer develops from cells lining the neck of the womb. It is the second most common cancer in women under the age of 35 in the UK. There are around 2,700 new cases each year. For more information visit the Cancer Research website.

Elizabeth Arden Review
Tuesday, 12th August 2008 - 5:50pm

Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Mousse Makeup - our reviewers put it to the test!

elizabeth arden foundation

What the manufacturers say...

This Elizabeth Arden innovative mousse foundation is so flawless and natural, it looks like your own skin. The ultra-light mousse foundation provides the most natural coverage, minimising the appearance of pores and softening tiny lines. This Elizabeth Arden foundation is recommended for all skin types, except really oily skin.

What our team had to say...

Our team loved this light foundation. It feels so good on your skin you hardly know you're wearing it. It actually does leave your skin looking fresh and natural!

You get a really good, even coverage without it making your skin feel 'clogged'.

Domestic Violence
Wednesday, 06th August 2008 - 11:40am

The Body Shop has teamed up with Women’s Aid for the 4th year to launch the 2008 ‘Stop Violence in the Home’ campaign to increase awareness, raise funds for the national domestic violence charity and help put a stop to domestic violence.

 

body shop and womens aid - break the silence of domestic violence

Shocking statistics reveal that one in three women who attempt suicide do so because they are being affected by domestic violence and an average of two women are killed every week as a result of domestic violence. 59% of women are more likely to confide in a friend if affected by domestic violence – look for the signs and you could save a friend’s life!

Babyliss Pro 230 Radiance Straighteners - prepare yourself for a brand new straightening experience!

 

babyliss straighteners

 

Whether you’re a busy always-on-the-go mum like Gwyneth; a work-hard, play-hard girl-about-town like Coleen or a globetrotting business woman-come-first lady like Carla Bruni you’ll want to get through your busy days safe in the knowledge that your hair looks just as good for your evening engagement as it did when you styled it in the morning. With this in mind BaByliss, the professional’s choice for haircare appliances, reveals its straightness breakthrough and introduces the next generation of hair straighteners, the NEW BaByliss Pro 230 Radiance. This innovative tool provides a completely new straightening experience, effortlessly achieving salon-sleek results that are proven to last for twice as long as other leading straighteners on the market, including GHD.

Here are the results of our testing here at Nouveau...

By Lauren (daughter Georgia, above)
"As the newest member of the Nouveau team, I was beaming from ear to ear when I was asked to trial the new Babyliss Straighteners. It was not until I saw the slightly evil glint in Steph's eye as she informed me I would need to provide the dreaded before and after shots that my bubble burst!

I have frizzy, bouffant, half curly, half wavy, thick, gigantic hair when its left to its own devices, and the thought of my before mugshot navigating its way around the world via the world wide web did nothing for me. So as any mother would do, I made my 14 year old daughter do it!!

Now I have to say, I've bought into straighteners before thinking what they would be as good as ghds, and I've been sadly disappointed, so I went into this trial thinking the same. Upon opening the box, I was impressed by the lovely red and grey carry bag they were presented in with its incorporated heat mat, but I did think the straighteners looked somewhat bulky, in comparison to my ghd's.

They heated up very quickly, and the temperature can be controlled, but I obviously whacked them up to max power! There are some gimmicky looking " retractable de-tangling fins" that can be adjusted according to your hair thickness, and I had no faith in these whatsoever until I tried them, and I am surprised to say, they made straightening my tangled locks a breeze! I found the steam blitzed through the curls, but you do have to be careful! For me it was better to steam and then go over once with the steam turned off.

Now here's the thing that makes these straighteners stand out as different - they straighten your hair and it lasts for ages...even in the hot and clammy temperatures we have had this week, myself and my daughter both said our hair stayed straight much longer than usual, and that is why I love them!

I do actually prefer them to ghd's, and I honestly never thought those words would come from my lips! The fact that they are a quite cumbersome is forgiven, I suppose they need to be a little bigger than the norm to house the steam reservoir."
