A woman’s wedding day goes down in her history as one of the most memorable days of her life. The photos that capture that day last that lifetime.
This is why talking about trends is almost inappropriate when talking about wedding hair and makeup. Classic looks are key for an elegant walk down the aisle. Consider choosing sleek and modern, or soft and romantic.


Bite Your Lip

By now, through books and research, we are likely aware that a lot of the products we put on our lips make their way into our bodies. Still, many of us do not want to give up our favourite colour trends or glosses and will instead sacrifice our conscience for chemical-laden products. However, there is no longer a need to compromise.


Behind the Beauty

Feeling beautiful is just as important (if not more so) than looking beautiful. And feeling great can be hindered by much more than a random blemish on your cheek. Bamboo has an arsenal of eco-friendly creams that will help heal your deeper beauty problems and restore you to your natural self.

It’s about that time when tropical beaches start to monopolize many of our thoughts.

This year, think outside the (makeup) box—ditch the grey and black hues for a luscious navy blue. Navy looks fantastic with all eye colours.


Brush Strokes

When it comes to makeup, our face is our canvas, so it just makes good sense to use brushes that lend themselves to our daily masterpieces.


Soft Lips

Another beauty battle: dry and cracking lips. Cold weather and freshly licked lips are not a match-made. Cold and flu season has also struck many graceful ladies down with a case of mouth-breathing.


A Solid Foundation

Today, foundations can be mineral-based, cream, cream-to-powder or tinted moisturizer. There is now a way for everyone to get even skin tones.
