5 New Year Resolutions for a beautiful start to 2015!


Here are our top 5 beauty resolutions that we recommend to anyone who wants a beautiful start to 2015 to feel great and look fantastic!

  1. Always wear an SPF sunscreen product  when you go out everyday!  We are sure that you have read this millions of times through newspapers and magazines but how many actually follows through with this regime?  Make a better start to 2015 by wearing an SPF underneath your moisturiser for that extra day protection, whether sunny or raining.  The harmful UV rays can cause premature aging so if you want to stay looking your best learn to look after your delicate skin.  There are many different options of SPFs available on the market from tinted moisturisers and BB creams which are tinted foundations that range from light to dark to match each skin tone.   

    2.      Look after your hair by using a leave in treatment every day! 
    We love Leave in Treatments as they can help to overcome your very bad hair days by leaving them soft and stress free.  They have become essential hair products and can be used alongside your normal hair routine by first using a suitable Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave in.  Alternatively, if you are short for time you could skip the conditioner and go straight to the leave in treatments which will help to moisturise your dry hair especially if you are one for using heat on your hair every day!   
    We also highly recommend leave in treatment should you wear human hair extensions to prolong the life of your extensions and enable your hair to be tangle free, which will keep the smile on your face over 2015!      

    We LOVE:
    1.  RemySoft Protective Serum which is a revolutionary serum based hair sealer that is formulated to coat and seal the hair shaft eliminating tangles, lock in moisture and protect the hair from damage.

    2.  Vivant Revitafoam leave in treatment.  Perfect also for hair extensions which helps to detangle and smooth the hair cuticles.

    3.      Make a statement this year by walking out with your favorite lip colour
    Lips are back on the trend radar this year and the new upcoming colour are the bright, neon colours!  Put some fun back into your make up routine by trying out new looks with different lipstick colours such as “orange” this year to stand out from the crowd.  For those uncomfortable with lipsticks which some women may find drying on their lips, why not try alternatives such as lip stains or lip glosses.  VAU Beauty stocks a huge range of colours from Stargazer cosmetics which is affordable, hip and chick!

    We LOVE:
    1.  Stargazer Shine Lipsticks available in beautiful bright colours such as 101 (Orange), 102 and many more beautiful exciting colours!

    4.       Did you say big brows?
    Forget about thin arched brows in 2015. Try taking a step back to memory lane with inspiring model looks such as Brooke Shields and go for thick, tamed brows which will cut off 3 – 5 years your real age.  Thicker brows are the look for 2015 and can be very easy to maintain and achieve by simply not over plucking and brushing them straight up then smoothing them over.

    We LOVE:
    1.  Stargazer Semi Permanent Eyebrow Pen available in Black, Dark Brown and Grey.

    2.  VAU Beauty Semi Permanent Stick On Eyebrows available in Black, Dark Brown and Blonde.

    5.       Give your face a break
    Our number 5 New Year resolution is to give your face a break!  Your face like all other parts of your body also deserves a break and need to go to sleep comfortably so remember to take off your entire make up before bed time.  This routine will require you to remember to not only wash your face but also to ‘tone’ before bed time.  Toners will keep your skin feeling soft, take off that last bit of grime on your face to keep it looking clear, blemish-free and feeling clean.  
    If your skin is dry, you can use a creamy, oil based cleanser to wash your face rather than a detergent based product.  For oily or acne - prone skin you can try products containing salicylic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin to keep pores clear.

    We LOVE:
    1. Lancome Tonique Douceur which is an alcohol-free lotion, enriched with soothing plant extracts, is the perfect finishing touch to makeup removal for dehydrated skin. It gently tones and refines the skin, removing any remaining impurities, without depleting its natural oils.

    Leaves skin feeling clean, soft and refreshed and ready for your daily treatments. Suitable for all Skin types, even sensitive skin.

All you need to know about Human Hair Extensions

If you have long wanted to try Human Hair Extensions, before you go out and spend all your savings you should consider the following research that we have undertaken to avoid disappointment.
Hair extensions are methods of lengthening ones hair by incorporating artificial hair or natural hair collected from other individuals. These hair techniques are advanced and are used to change the hair drastically without looking unrealistic.
 
Unfortunately there are no laws governing human hair extensions or application in Australia.  If tomorrow you go out and purchase a set of hair extensions where the packaging states 100% human hair yet you go home to find it was in actual fact mixed with 50% synthetic hair, your argument would not hold in the court of law.  That is because there is no criteria to be met for human hair extensions except that the product is not to be made defective for consumption.  So we urge everybody to do their own research as every hair type is different and therefore the needs from each person is different.
 
Hair can be sourced for several different nationalities/ countries. You will find that due to the cost of manufacturer however that most hair extensions are put together in China (hence, including label Made in China).  These are the main ones that you will come across.
 
Asian Hair - Thinnest of them all.  Only suitable for those with very fine, wispy hair.  Will knot significantly after wash.  Be prepared to have a fantastic conditioner/ treatment after every single wash.  We don't recommend Asian hair at all.  We find it is cheap and nasty of them all.  Feels very synthetic.
 
European HairVAU Beauty sources only European hair extensions.  After years of research we believe that European hair is suited to most people as it is strong and healthy and after washing remains thick, shiny and also knotting is kept to a minimum.  See below our hair compared to others on the market.
 
 
 
 
 
Indian Hair - The Indian Hair is more often than not used for those who wish to have long, thick, sleek and straight hair. This type of hair can be easily straightened and usually comes in dark colours.
 
The quality of the hair is often specified.
  • Virgin hair is hair that hasn't been coloured or processed in any way. The "virgin hair" is collected by tying off the hair to maintain the direction of the cuticle and then cut. After the hair is cut and collected it can be sewn on a weft, pre-bonded, made into wigs or left in bulk form.
  • Remy is when all of the hair is human plus when 'close to' all of the strands (e.g. in one weft) are strictly organised with the roots in one direction and the tip to the opposite end.  VAU Beauty uses Remy hair only.
  • Single drawn is of a slightly lower quality than double-drawn hair. The hairs will have up to a 2" difference in the tips; that is, some hairs will be up to 2" shorter than their original lengths.  VAU Beauty hair extensions are all single drawn to keep the costs down for our consumers.
  • Double drawn indicates that the collected hair of a certain length has all of the shorter hairs in the bundle manually removed twice, hence the 'double' drawn. This means that hair extensions that are double drawn will have (nearly) as many hair strands at one end as the other and appear much thicker and not wispy at the ends. This process is very laborious, and therefore makes the extensions very expensive.
Most human hair extensions can be treated as real hair, albeit more gently. Since human hair extensions are usually heavily processed to achieve uniform colour and texture, a mild shampoo is recommended, along with a heavy conditioner/ treatment to reduce tangling. When shampooing it is suggested that a sulfate and alcohol free product be used, since those contents cause frizz and dry out the hair. Cool water is also recommended when shampooing, to reduce or prevent matting and excessive tangling. Having to remove snarls and tangles loosens the foundation of the integrations and further damages the hair.
 

How can you tell the hair synthetic?

Start by looking at its texture.  Synthetic hair has a very high shine/ gloss that you will notice when you look at it.  When you run your finger nails down a strand of synthetic hair you will notice it is very smooth and would not have cuticle like bumps which natural hair will have.
 
Expose a strand of hair to flame. If the hair is natural, it will immediately catch fire and burn nearly instantly, curling into a ball. It will also have a strong, somewhat unpleasant smell. Synthetic hair, on the other hand, will slowly melt rather than burn, and will have almost no smell.
You can also test by trying to dye real hair against synthetic hair.  Synthetic hair will not take to the colour as well as natural hair.
 
For any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.  We value all of our customers feedback and have been a hair extension distributor for numerous years with lots of happy returning customers so we look forward to answering any questions you have.

Glamorous Rockstar Make Up Video Tutorial

This was a look that we recently created for a Catwalk show in Melbourne together with Xpertease Hair Studio who was the mastermind behind the hair. The model has beautiful pale skin so we wanted her to stand out as she struts down the runway. Black against white is perfect and would do the trick. We named this make up look The Glamorous Rockstar!
Who is she? She is beautiful, humble, full of glamour yet she is bold and isn't shy in public and loves to be seen. She is out to have a good time, and loves having fun. The pink lipstick finished this look to a Tee!!
Note, you will need a really good black kohl pencil to work with and make sure it glides nicely onto the skin and allows you to work with it. You will also need some VAU Beauty Bold eyelashes to work with. All products used are detailed below.
