Proctor and Gamble, who acquired the skincare line in early 2007, have decided to cease distribution in the United Kingdom pending a product relaunch.

Baliage is a French hair colouring technique used to create natural, hand-painted highlights. In French, ‘le balayage’ means “strands of colour”.

At the TV Baftas she opted for incredibly high hair, which looks suspiciously like a hair piece, layers of bronzer and some seriously glittery aqua green eyeshadow. Sadly, it all [...]

Hair extensions are pretty standard in haircare now and even eyelash extensions are getting more and more popular, but this really does take the concept too far. Not much is known about the photographs but it is assumed they are [...]
