easy STYLIN'

HAVING LAYERS OF VARYING LENGTHS can encourage curls and give flat hair va-va volume.... To get some quick just-been-at-the-beach texture, scrunch one to two palmfuls of medium-hold mousse into damp hair from ends to roots. Then just leave it—it will dry into perfect, crunch-free waves. Too easy!

HEALTHY PARENTING & NATURAL LIVING SEMINAR

DO YOUR KIDS HAVE ECZEMA, BEHAVIOURAL CHANGES, ADD or ADHD?

From the moment our children are born, they're exposed to a wide variety of hazardous toxins: one-third of all personal care products, including baby washes and shampoos, contain one or more ingredients classified as possible human carcinogens; more than half of the 100,000 synthetic chemicals on the market have never been tested for their toxicity on the human body....

Want to know how you can change this? Attend the HEALTHY PARENTING & NATURAL LIVING seminar on SEPTEMBER 14...

Speaking at the event will be Dr Sarah Lantz, Author of Chemical Free Kids : Raising Children in a Toxic World. Dr Sarah Lantz is a university lecturer, researcher, writer and mother. She has an academic and professional background in public health and mental health and specialises in the area of child and youth health and wellbeing. She has written and spoken widely on the issue, and continues to be an invited speaker in the media on the subject of youth health and wellbeing.

Also speaking will be Narelle Chenery, the Founder of the award-winning miessence products, the first comprehensive range of certified organic skin, hair, cosmetic and personal care products in the world. Narelle is a mother of three, passionate educator and activist for social and consumer change. She speaks worldwide to business leaders, cosmetic industry professionals and government bodies.

cate's SKIN

CELEB SKINCARE TIPS FROM INSTYLE... Whether you call them lines, wrinkles or furrows, no one wants them. One way to smoother-looking skin like Cate Blanchett's is to increase the efficacy of your anti-wrinkle cream by applying it using a zipper method, advises skincare experts. Separate the area you're targeting with your thumb and forefinger of one hand, then apply the cream onto the wrinkle with the other hand using a back-and-forth sweeping motion.

jools RULES

I'M A BIG FAN OF JAMIE AND JOOLS OLIVER ... Jamie's magazine is fantastic - and how fab does Jools look in this recent shoot she did with a UK mag... (I also loved her very honest answers to these questions)... SO JOOLS, HAVE YOU EVER...
Checked the messages on Jamie's phone? Always, yeah.
Lied about your age? No, not yet, but I might have to later on!
Feigned illness to avoid a social situation? Oh God, yes, every time.
Forgotten Jamie's birthday? Never.
Said: 'Don't you know who I am?' God, no!
Been mistaken for another celebrity? No, but I have had people come over and say that I look like Jools Oliver.
Lied to Jamie about how much something cost? Yes, a lot.
Pretended to cook something for Jamie and secretly used a packet mix? I probably did when we first met but I wouldn't now. He probably knew! Check out the entire interview and more pix by visiting FabulousMag.co.uk

cat EYES

REVAMP YOUR EYELINER by creating a subtle cat eye... The trick is to gently pull downward on the outer corner of your eye to reveal the full lash line, then starting from the inner corner, run a liquid liner along your lash line. When you're about four lashes from the outer corner, angle the line diagonally up and extend it about a quarter of an inch.

gwynnie's GLOW

MOVE OVER ROSY CHEEKS, SAYS INSTYLE MAG... the golden tones in a suntan look much more natural when worn with a peach blush. Complement a sexy tan like Gwyneth Paltrow's by dusting a rich apricot colour on cheeks. If your skin is fair, makeup artist Bobbi Brown suggests skipping self-tanners and sweeping a peach blush over areas the sun would hit (cheeks, nose, forehead and chin) to warm up your face instead.

long-lasting RED

TO CREATE A LONG-LASTING RED POUT (without it smudging, bleeding or fading)... fill your lips in entirely with your favourite red lip liner, which is waxier than lipstick and less likely to slide off the lips. Then top with a coat of clear gloss.

beachy WAVES

ANOTHER BEAUTY TRICK FROM ALLURE... Layers of varying lengths can encourage curls to flick out in different directions. Get the beachy texture by scrunching one to two palmfuls of medium-hold mousse from ends to roots. Then don't touch your hair at all—it will dry into perfect, crunch-free waves.
