Dear Make-up Lover,

If your like me and love make-up, your always looking for something easier, quicker to use , longer lasting, that’ll still give you that sexy, sophisticated & natural look even at the end of another hard day, although when you love your work as much as us BLUSH GIRLS do, I’d hardly call it hard work, it’s ALWAYS our pleasure!

So let me share more…

Our Blush mineral make up is the purest form of make up you can use. Minerals come from nature & are mined from the earth’s surface. They are blended together to form beautiful colours for you to use on your face or body.

Mineral make up isn’t new – Egyptian women apparently used minerals to paint their skin over 2000 years ago.

So why is the beauty world suddenly heaping praise on these natural pigments? Advances in technology means ‘cakey’ natural compounds, such as mica, iron oxide & titanium oxide, can now be crushed into a fine, silky powder. The result is a personalized light-medium-full coverage foundation that feels light on the skin. It’s a great anti-aging tool because it works like an eraser- all the blemishes & age spots just disappear! When it comes to longevity Blush Mineral Make up doesn’t dissolve in water or oil so, once applied, it seldom requires touch ups & won’t slide off your skin on a hot day! At the end of the day it’s easy to remove with your usual cleanser.

A little goes a long way & it’s easy to apply…let me explain!

Step 1. SWIRL a small amount of Blush Mineral Make up in the lid with your brush until they are tucked into the bristles.

Step 2. TAP away excess; Blush Mineral Make up should not be visible on the outside of the brush.

Step 3. BUFF Blush Mineral Make up onto the skin in a circular motion, starting on the outside of your face near your cheekbone, swirling as you go. Buff around your face & then approach your forehead, cheeks & nose. Buff & Buff & Buff – until, you’re satisfied with the coverage.

LESS IS MORE when applying mineral.

I’ve personally discovered our Make-up won’t irritate sensitive skin… Even, oily skin benefits from using our mineral make up and minerals don’t dry the skin out, which in turn creates over active sebaceous glands and doesn’t clog pores or cause break outs.

WOW, You can even sleep in it if you’ve had a late night, as well as many other benefits below…

• It’s very lightweight so it looks & feels like you are wearing nothing at all.
• Blush mineral make up is water resistant, giving lasting seamless coverage.
• The pure ingredients in our mineral make up have a natural SPF protector & antioxidants to protect your skin from aging.
• Because of how mineral make up layers on the skin, you are able to even out skin tone, cover acne, scarring, rosacea, age spots & spider veins, while allowing the skin to breathe. No more smothering oils that clog & enlarge pores & no alcohol so your skin stays hydrated & supple.
• Only a small amount is needed each time you apply mineral make up, so it’s long lasting.
• Ingredients in Blush mineral make up are not absorbed by the skin, but actually adhere to it, so you have a perfect coverage all day
• Our products are safe, non-toxic & are free from irritants and many other chemicals.
• Minimizes fine lines & pores
• Reduces redness & irritation & will not trap heat under the skin

• With anti-inflammatory & antioxidant power helps to protect the skin from potentially harsh elements that can cause free radical damage & premature aging.
• Especially useful for even the most troubled complexion as it does not contain ingredients that often result in make up sensitivity. By excluding classic irritants such, B ‘take time’ make up eliminates skin problems associated with these ingredients & is extremely gentle & non comedogenic.
• Even those with dry or mature skin will achieve superior coverage from B ‘take time’ mineral make up. Thousands of light reflecting particles act like tiny mirrors to deflect light away from skin imperfections & even out skin tone, creating a flawless & dewy glow in minutes.

The Brazilian XXX wax is an extreme bikini waxing treatment that removes hair from the entire pubic region including the bottom, apart from a small patch just above the vaginal area, often referred to as the “Landing Strip” or all off ‘Full Monty or XXXX”. This is a very intimate type of waxing, and so we only perform this procedure after careful consultation with our clients.

However closely you trim, shave or wax your pubic hair is purely a matter of personal preference. It’s important that you do whatever makes you feel comfortable; whether you like to be bare or prefer a more natural look. You can be sure that whether you’re doing this for the first time or you’re a more seasoned Brazilian girl, we will do our best to put you at your ease and ensure that your treatment is as fast and painless as possible. Click here for pricing…

What is involved in a Brazilian?

The wax used for this procedure is a premium, hot wax or strip if preferred, meaning it is applied directly to the hair that is to be removed. The wax basically wraps around each individual hair, and is then quickly pulled off after it dries. The wax is designed specifically for sensitive skin, so it’s perfect for bikini or Brazilian waxing.

While waxing, it’s best to hold the skin tight around the area about to be waxed, as this assists in the process and reduces any discomfort. Because of this, you may be asked to help stabilise an area with your hand, especially while waxing towards the middle of the labia where there’s no firm bone or muscle underneath. After waxing the pubic region, we will wax in the gluteal crease. After hair is removed, a special first-aid solution containing lavender is applied to help soothe the area.

Does it hurt?

That depends on two factors, strong hair, and sensitive skin. In most cases, we’ll do it so quickly you won’t even have the time to feel anything. In fact, some women don’t even know we’ve started! We find that most of our clients are pleasantly surprised by how painless a Brazilian really is. Our use of premium hot wax also helps reduce the sensitivity on your skin.

Does Blush do men’s Brazilian waxing?

Sorry NO

How much will it cost you?

If you’re looking for a slap dash job you can get this done at just about any local beauty salon and pay anyway between $25-$50. At Blush we charge $67 for the Brazilian XXXX (Full Monty) and $77 the the Brazilian XXX (Landing strip).

Let’s face it…if you want a thourough and professional job, you’re going to have to pay for it. At the end of the day, put yourself in the therapist’s shoes for just a short while, don’t you thing they deserve to earn a decent living as well? Think about it! We can’t attract the best staff if we don’t pay them a very reasonable wage… in particular, for doing this very intimate service.

How long do the results last?

After your first waxing, the results can last anywhere from four to seven weeks, depending on your hair re-growth rate and the season. Warmer weather tends to encourage faster re-growth; therefore your hair grows quicker during the summer. In most cases, you’ll see minimal hair re-growth during the first three weeks, with noticeable increases from there onwards. We recommend a 4 weekly appointment for most of our clients.

Why have my Brazilian done at Blush?

Our 1000′s of regular clients tell us we offer the best Brazilian waxing for women in Perth, so who are we to argue. You can be guaranteed of meticulous hygienic standards, as well as our high level of professionalism, friendliness and consistency.

Posh - short hair

You don’t have to be Posh to have great Short Hair…

Whether you choose a classic bob or a spiky cut, short hair can transform your face. There’s nothing like short hair to show off your best features. Short hair can be more more sophisticated and edgy than long hair. And as a bonus: These styles can be low-maintenance. 

Let me tell you 4 short hair tips and tricks all the Blush Hair Stylists know… 

Tip No. 1: Find a cut that flatters your face Short cuts are popular because they make your features the center of attention. If you have a strong jaw, show it off with a bob that hits you at the jawbone. Make sure and angle the bob so it’s shorter in back than in front. If you have a round face, consider a short cut that ends an inch or two below the jawbone and has a few long layers. Blunt bobs only accentuate the roundness. High forehead? Cover up your large forehead with blunt or side-swept bangs like this one. 

Tip No. 2: Your hair texture and type If you have straight hair, you’re in luck. Short hair will be easy for you to maintain with little fuss. If you have wavy hair, you may require a blowdryer and flat iron. Curly hair? Reconsider your quest for short hair. Curly hair tends to frizz up when cut short and it can make hair too triangular. Try to stay a couple inches lower than the jaw (when hair is dry). 

Tip No. 3: Not all short haircuts are low-maintenance. They’re actually the hardest cuts to maintain, which is something to consider when getting your hair cut. You must get them trimmed every four-six weeks, they take styling products to keep them in check and you may have to invest in a flat-iron to keep waves at bay. 

Tip No. 4:  Here’s a fun tip to find out if a short haircut would suit you. Photo galleries of short hair cuts by style (bobs, jaw-length, super short and pixie) and color (black, blonde, brown and red). Bob Hairstyles Perhaps the most trendy of hairstyles at the moment; the bob can be sleek and sophisticated. Angled in at the jawbone or longer, hitting a few inches below the chin, the bob is typically one-length.

So if you’d like a sexy new short haircut and look, please let me tell you a little more…

• Bac-to-san Ben’s Burning Question?
• Hair and Makeup in Perth

But on this day things didn’t quite go to plan, so please let me tell you more…

As Ben had been coming to Blush for years, he was on auto pilot at the time the incident happened. Normally, we always get the waxing services out the way before hair or pampering takes place. However, on this occasion we had to style Ben’s hair first, followed by his waxing as we were so heavily booked and it was the only way we could have fit him in. So after his shampoo, wash and tingling head massage , he was feeling on cloud 9 and was escorted to his chair.

Up until now things were going pretty smoothly…

Ben then sat down and a with a small oversight from the stylist, who forgot to tell him we don’t have wheels on our hair chairs anymore, Ben then proceeded to try and pull himself closer to the mirror and with his huge pecs and strong hands he almost pulled the whole hair station over and spilt the Marvy Jar (pictured above) all over his lap…..oops.

But here’s where the problem starts…

Now, the Marvy Jar is full of Bac-to-san (pure Alcohol) which is used for sterilizing the hair scissors, combs etc and now Ben’s jeans were covered in the potent liquid. After the usual apologies and fussing around, Ben was offered a robe while his jeans were sent to the Blush laundry department. But this rugged guy wouldn’t budge and sat there, drank his coffee and pretended as nothing had ever happened. After receiving his razor sharp and trendy style cut, Ben was ready for his waxing which normally takes about 30 minutes in which time Ben is face down and has a little fluff taken off his back and shoulders.  Now this tough guy doesn’t even flinch when having his back waxed, mainly due to the expertise of our highly trained therapist’s, although on this occasion the therapist noticed he was sort of wriggling around a lot  and letting out a little moaning noise.

And that’s when Ben let it out…

Ben said: “Hey Kel, do you mind if I ask you a question?”

Kel replied: “Yeah, how can I help?”

Ben said: “Hey you know that BLUE STUFF in the jars at the hair station – what is that?”

Kel said: “Oh that’s Bac-to-san.”

Ben said: “Is it very strong?”

Kel replied:  “Hell yeah, it’s pure alcohol”

Ben said: “WOW, I hope you don’t mind me saying, but that stuff been BURNING MY BALLS for the last hour…”lol

And they both continued to belly laugh for at least the next couple of minutes…you’re a very funny man Ben.

Please note: The names of the characters in this true story have been changed to protect the innocent.

I can remember signing the 10 year lease on an old broken down truck at the rear of the 253, next door to the brothel! Michael thought I was mad, he dragged me down to Cafe Villa for a coffee and said “Are you sure you know what you are doin?”

I had $10,000 saved and a big dream…

We signed up and moved in and opened Blush for business on the 16th October 2000…All we had was a nail desk and a box of products. Twelve hour days and lot of blood sweat and tears, allowed us to buy a reception desk and a cash register. Over the next couple of years we added a beauty & tanning room and a hair section and expanded the nail section to 3 full time tech’s.

In January 2004, we extended into 255 and opened the Day Spa!

This was a pivital time in the success of Blush as we decided to stop doing nails…it just doesn’t fit with a day spa. With over 450 regular nail clients then, we still have many as regulars today.

We’ve had many different reactions from our much treasured clients, however almost all Blush clients are genuinely excited and understand we had no choice but to make the big move to North Fremantle to protect the future of our small family business.

We’d like to offer a sincere and genuine THANK YOU…

To all our wonderful Blush clients that have always supported the local business for all their pampering, hair and beauty needs, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Blush will be relocating to the stunning refurbished Rose Hotel in North Fremantle, and opening on the 12th April 2010. 

The historic building is located at 76 Stirling Highway, North Fremantle, and although it’s not as central as Leederville (only 20 minutes away), it’s very convenient and easy to get to. With 25 customer car parks and right opposite the North Fremantle train station and bus stop at the front door. You’ll be able to get in and out with minimal fuss.

Although it’s sad to be leaving the fabulous location in Oxford Street, the new location of 855m2 gives us the chance to create a whole new Blush experience, and offer an even better service, particularly cutting down wait lists for premium times such as weekend bookings.
 
Let me tell you just a few of the facilities available at The new Blush … 

* 9 single treatment rooms
* 3 duo treatment suites
* 1 triple  treatment suite
* Funky, Hair and beauty salon
* Exclusive Manicure and Pedicure lounge
* Retail  Spa Shop

* 25 customer car parks
* Huge relaxation lounge and a whole lot more…

We hope you can join us at the Rose and all the team are very excited and can’t wait to pamper all our great clients again very soon.

Whether they’re wearing suits that are a size or two too large, they have a really bad haircut or they wear socks with sandals (nooooo!), you can see the hipness just under the surface.

So how to make over your guy?

If he’s the sensitive sort, I believe in the subtle approach: buy him a great pair of jeans or a bag full of men’s grooming products or suggest he try out your stylist at your salon instead of his regular barber. Point out hairstyles you like on famous guys and tell him, “Oh you would look hot in that haircut!”

As women do, men also respond to flattery, so let me tell what to do…

This also works with jeans, “Honey, your butt would look great in these,” and getting them to wear a smaller size suit, “You have a great body but it’s lost in your suit.”

Here are some of my favorite tips I’ve learned over the years..

I love a few from GQ’s 25 style rules to live by:

• According to GQ, 3-button suits are out, and 2-buttons are in.
• Short sleeve dress suits with a tie are an absolute no-no.
• Thin ties are more modern than fat ties.
• Many guys wear their suits a size or two too large. Find out if yours is.
• If your guy suffers from nicks and cuts when shaving, GQ suggests you encourage him to shave in the shower. The water and steam will soften his face. Once he’s finished shaving, he should skip the cheapie  aftershaves which are full of alcohol and fragrances and try a balm. 
•  Men can be super self-conscious about hair loss. If your guy is sporting a bologna patch (the round, bald spot at the back of the head), or is making sad attempts at comb-overs, he’s got some options. Some men find success in hair plugs (think Jude Law & Matthew McConaughey!), but I prefer a simple, number one or shaved head, which is super sexy.
• Personally, I’m not a fan of men shaving or waxing their chest hair, I have no problem with a hairy chest but I do have a problem with a sandpaper chest. If your dude hates his man fluff or wants to tame it for the beach, suggest he trim it with a hair trimmer.

So if you’d like us to help, this special might just kickstart your wish… Man Makeover package…

Flaky, dead skin is a turn-off and since you will likely be nose-to-nose with someone very soon, perhaps you should try one of my favorite facial scrubs?  Also, don’t miss Jessica Alba’s new ‘do, which she showed off yesterday at the “Valentine’s Day” premiere. I love it, do you? Lastly, get your guy to makeover his dated look. Find out how….

There’s no better feeling than freshly scrubbed and moisturized skin.

An important part of your weekly skin routine is exfoliation and you can use facial scrubs, microdermabrasion kits or peels. Peels work to brighten skin by removing dead skin cells with lactic (milk) or citric (juice) acids. Scrubs work to manually remove dead skin. I like to use both, switching between the two every few weeks. Always make sure to follow with moisturizer after exfoliation.

Check out my two favourite facial scrubs…

Does drinking 7 glasses of water a day keep my skin moist?

Apart from my Mum always telling me to drink lots of water, I remember reading this for the first time in Woman’s Day Magazine and being despondent because I found drinking water to be the world’s most boring thing. I preferred Orange juice, Coke and a room temperature Elderton Shiraz.

So is it true that you need seven glasses of water a day to keep skin moist and dewy?

Answer: No. Despite years of having this drummed into our heads, this is not true. It is good to keep your body, including your skin, hydrated, however the outermost layer of skin does not absorb water since it is made up of dead skin cells. Moisture level of skin is not determined by internal factors, but rather external ones, such as cold or hot air, dry heat and by the number of oil-producing glands you have. So if you want to hydrate your skin, exfoliate it weekly with a sea-salt scrub or other exfoliator to remove dead skin then apply a rich moisturizer while skin is still damp. Want to hydrate your insides then by all means, drink your 7 glasses of water a day.

Blush Gifts Never Expire!

If you like me and and always looking for an easy solution to getting a loved one a gift for Christmas or any occasion for that matter. A Gift Certificate, Card or Voucher is always a safe bet and a little more sincere than money in a card, don’t you agree?

But, do you ever wonder whether you’ve just wasted your hard earned cash???

Months later, well after the special occasion has been almost forgotten, do you worry the gift actually hasn’t been used or redeemed. Or even worse did it expire??? Major retailers like David Jones have a 24 month expiry date, but many smaller retailers have a 6 or 12 month expiry date…

Personally I’ve never understood the mentality of an expiry date.

Let’s face it the business has already been paid for services or products in advance. If there is any price increases, surely the company can absorb this even  a year or so later.

At Blush our Gift Certicates NEVER, EVER Expire…

And that brings me to why our Gift Certificates NEVER expire. A Day Spa Gift Voucher, more than any other Gift Voucher, has a sincere connotation that you really care about the person receiving the gift. And YOU understand that in this crazy spinning world, we all need to just get off and stop for a moment or too. What better way to do it the a luxurious, indulgent and pampering Spa Package at Blush. We’re trying to win new clients over, not loose them before they come in the door and that’s why our vouchers NEVER expire.
