all, and in reality, it probably should be as it works by generating heat light pulses which travel down to the root of each hair, killing the follicle. \u0026nbsp;BUT, the Duo Salon has Active Cooling Technology which ensures your skin remains cool after each pulse. \u0026nbsp;I've personally found that the higher the setting for a long time, you can sometimes feel a little bit of heat in sensitive areas (underarms and ankles) - so to combat this I've simply turned it to a lower setting, or taken a 2 minute break to let the glass window cool down properly.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Duo Salon also has a freeglide mode which delivers two flashes per second, meaning you can treat your whole body in just 20 minutes (perfect for someone like me with a busy lifestyle), making it one of the fastest IPL devices with salon grade appliance but for at home use.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENow, the Duo-Salon is quite an investment, retailing at £549, it works out to be very cost effective (no more paying for waxes, new razors and salon treatments) \u0026nbsp;as well as being a great solution for long-term hair removal. \u0026nbsp;You do need to use this regularly to see the best results because each hair follicle has it's own growth cycle, but that's an easy commitment rather than having to shave every day!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EHow to

and choose your heat setting (based on the colour chart provided)*\u003Cbr \/\u003E3) Press the crystal glass window against your skin and wait for it to be a constant green light\u003Cbr \/\u003E4)

winner. \u0026nbsp;I used my current favourite red liquid lipstick by Kat Von D in the shade Outlaw, all over my lips. \u0026nbsp;Once dry, I took a lipstick slightly darker with more purple undertones, this time Charlotte Tilbury's Hot Lips Lipstick in Hel's Bells, and using a thin brush, applied this to the around the edge of my lips. \u0026nbsp;This can take some time to perfect, but it's striking and makes an impact which is what you want for NYE!\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr

lippies - 3 new \u003Cb\u003EHyaluronic Sheer Rouge\u003C\/b\u003E lip sticks that have not left my makeup bag all summer. \u0026nbsp;The hyaluronic acid works to moisturise, plump, protect and smooth the lips leaving them with a beautiful wash of colour. \u0026nbsp;I'm not normally a fan of sheer lipsticks but since being on Roaccutane and suffering from dry lips, these are the only things I can use! \u0026nbsp;Instead of feeling self conscious about bare, flaky lips, I now feel confident with them looking soft with a sheer colour pop.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align:

together or separately. \u0026nbsp;The Tan \u0026amp; Flash palette contains brighter, pink shades along with three neutrals to help create a variety of looks but my favourite is the Light \u0026amp; Tan composed of 6 neutrals. \u0026nbsp;The left hand side contains 3 shimmer\/highlight shades which I adore. \u0026nbsp;I tend to use the darker shade to contour, the lightest shimmer shade to

you!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEvery month I've encountered countless different side effects (from mood swings, back ache, headaches, eczema etc) so I want to start documenting each month on my

my neck for the last few weeks of month 2 and thankfully it only lasted a week into month 3. \u0026nbsp;It was pretty unbearable, especially in the evenings as I just couldn't get comfortable meaning I couldn't sleep at night! \u0026nbsp;Joint and muscle pain is a common accutane side effect (I guess because it dries the oil between your joints so friction is more intense). \u0026nbsp;Really glad this hasn't made a reappearance!\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align:

a lot easier. \u0026nbsp;I headbutted a stack of paper magazines one day and it took a layer of skin off my forehead! \u0026nbsp;My body has been covered in scratch marks because my skin is so itchy and a lot more sensitive than usual. \u0026nbsp;I've also developed eczema patches on my arms and legs.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr

knew that accutane can make you more septable to eye infections and unluckily I got conjunctivitus in both eyes whilst on holiday (I should note I've only had it once before when I was a child - 20 years ago). \u0026nbsp;I think it was a combination of my eyes being super dry from the medicine, as well as the dry weather in Croatia and that I held a kitten a few days before and I might be a little allergic. \u0026nbsp;It was horrendous, I had swollen, itchy, gunky wet eyes and couldn't wear makeup for almost 2 weeks!\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr

yet another common side effect which I think I've been experiencing slightly. \u0026nbsp;I'm very sensitive (much more than normal), feel very low some days and find it hard to contain anger or upset.

pigment \u0026amp; colour, so I was intrigued as to how much I'd like them but they pleasantly surprised me. \u0026nbsp;Despite being super moisturising, they have a good amount of pigment which is fantastic (I would really hate to have spent £26 on a lipstick for it to not even show on my lips). \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETo me they have a watermelon scent (which I think is supposed to be mango) and they seriously leave my lips feeling so soft and moisturised with a gorgeous juicy colour. \u0026nbsp;My go-to is Beige Blouse which is a 'my lips but better' shade but I also adore #43. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs usual with YSL products the packaging is just sublime and they have taken pride of place on my vanity desk. \u0026nbsp;How any girl could resist these beauties is a mystery! \u0026nbsp;I have completely fallen head over heels for these so much so that I haven't worn anything other on my lips since getting them.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThey retail at

how incredible a few products are (the foundation I'm using at the moment is insanely good), but primarily because I wanted to get the message across that \u003Cb\u003Eit is okay to wear makeup.

\u0026nbsp;The basic premise is you do 4 weeks of aerial rope, 4 weeks of static trapeze and 4 weeks of flying trapeze. \u0026nbsp;You'll learn all the basics (and also see which is your favourite) and if you pass each class you can then progress to level 2 which focuses entirely on the class of your choice.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr
