Fab 4 four for Lips and eyebrows
Nothing can make you stand out like perfect eyebrows and kissable lips. Here is my Fab 4 list to make you a head-turner.
1) Lips – Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream – £19.00
It’s not just a prince’s willy this cream can work its magic on! A favourite of supermodels and royalty the world over, this cult classic is perfect for moisturising the face on long-haul flights, but for truly kissable lips, it’s a must-have in your bag. It calms, protects, and hydrates—fantastic for chapped and dry lips. Apply it at night before bed and wake up with smooth, supple lips. It’s even great for hands.
2) Lips – Patrick TA Major Volume Plumping Lip Gloss – £14.00
Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian swear by Patrick Ta’s eponymous line of richly pigmented lipsticks, eyeliners, and blushes—so the celebrity makeup artist must be onto something. It’s incredibly hydrating, and the scent is divine. The plumping effect is impressive, and it’s surprisingly affordable compared to other glosses. Infused with a warming blend of vitamin E, pepper, ginger, cinnamon, and peppermint, it leaves lips looking fuller and feeling fabulous. With a client list that reads like a Hollywood who’s who, you can’t go wrong.

3) Eyebrow Lamination – Price on request
The latest celebrity craze has women and men queuing up to emulate the stars. Eyebrow lamination focuses on creating shiny, smooth brows, perfect for taming unruly or thinning eyebrows. When combined with tinting and threading, it gives your brows a polished, gold-star finish. Unlike microblading, this semi-permanent treatment involves no needles and can also help conceal scars or gaps. While it requires more maintenance than microblading, the results are worth it.
The queen of lamination, Samira Boussaid, has worked at London Fashion Week and on Vogue shoots. Her A-list clientele includes Love Islanders and the fashion elite.

4) Eyelash Tinting – from £25.00
Have an early morning Zoom call or want to look good coming out of the pool? Try eyelash tinting—a semi-permanent dye that gives the appearance of mascara without any effort. While it won’t add curl, length, or volume, it does make lashes look darker and more defined. It’s especially effective for those with light lashes or tips that fade. The salon treatment takes around 30 minutes and lasts for up to four weeks.

Cheap Fix Vaseline . , a brand of petroleum jelly, is widely used as a beauty staple for eyebrows and eyelashes due to its moisturizing and protective properties. When applied sparingly, it helps condition and soften the hairs, making eyebrows appear fuller and more groomed while giving eyelashes a glossier, healthier look. Its occlusive nature locks in moisture, which can prevent dryness and breakage, especially in harsh weather or after removing makeup. While it doesn’t directly stimulate hair growth, its hydrating effect can create a healthier environment for hair to thrive. Always apply a small amount with clean hands or a cotton swab to avoid clogging pores or irritating the delicate eye area.
