Stuck for a Royal gift?

Are you stuck on gift ideas for Price William and his bride to be Kate, well apparently Kate is a huge fan of Neom luxury candles, the candles are made form vegetable wax and pure essential oils so burn without releasing harmful pollutants, toxins or soot (which can be given of if synthetic fragrance is used)

The candles smell amazing and have around 55 hours of burn time, perfect for de-stressing and relaxing the newly weds.

Or maybe Kate would like to try our new OPI nail varnish ‘Dating a Royal’ this colour has had great reviews in all the fashion magazines, the royal blue hue will look great on fingers or toes, perfect for her exotic honeymoon.

Both Neom candles and our new OPI colour can be purchased at Zen Teviot.

If it’s good enough for them…..

Have you ever looked at the beautiful women on TV or in the numerous celebrity gossip and fashion magazines and wondered how they get that dewy complexion, porcelain looking skin and beautifully shaped brows…..well we all have I’m sure, but we all also know that models in magazines are airbrushed to perfection and what is seen is not quite the real deal. However, a lot of these women (and lets not forget the men) look beautiful and radiant without the aid of a computer mouse, so what are their secrets?

Well here at Zen we took it upon ourselves to do a little digging to find out who uses what and we think that it’s only fair that we share our findings. Well, its good enough for them….

• Fearne Cotton keeps the pollution from London City life at bay buy using  products from the Dr Murad Vitamin C range.
• Lisa Snowdon keeps her model looks (and gets to date men like George Clooney!!) by using Dr Murads Perfecting Day cream.
• Felicity Huffman loves Priori Perfecting Minerals after her make up artist on the set of Desperate Housewives used them on her.
• Christine Bleakley takes Murad supplements to help maintain healthy skin….hmmm wonder if Frank takes them too to keep him looking  so good??
• Jessica Simpson is a huge fan of OPI’s Lincoln Park After dark, great for short square nails.
• Victoria Beckham keeps stretch marks at bay by using Elemis’ Japanese Camellia oil.

Both salons stock Dr Murad, Elemis, Priori and OPI (all the above can be purchased) so if you fancy having skin and nails as good as a celebrity then pop in to see us.

A lovely afternoon catching up with Murad.

Last Wednesday we were delighted to have an afternoon with our new Murad rep Jennifer and Elliot Walker, Managing Director of Murad UK.  It was a fun and informal afternoon with lots of tea, biscuits and chat.

The girls used the time to pick Jennifer and Elliot’s brains and all things Murad, we also received our new Murad starter kits which we now have in stock at both salons.

The kits are priced at £25.00 or £29.95, we have kits for all the ranges; Vitalic (pomegranate), Environmental, Resurgence and Blemish, they really are a great way to try some of the Murad products or take on holiday as they are travel sizes!.

Jennifer and Elliot also gave us some exciting news on a new product range that has just been launched…..the Anti-ageing clarifying range!

This range is designed for mature skin that suffers from breakouts (a far more common problem than people think) The small range is designed to work alongside the other Murad products and consists of two key products. Blemish and Wrinkle Reducer is designed to clear congestion and diminish the appearance of fine line and wrinkle and the Anti-Ageing Moisutsiser minimizes oil production, is light weigh and has an SPF 20.

Wow we hear you say!!!…..with the introduction of this new range,  there really isn’t a skin condition Murad cant treat!
