Win a Lash Lift at Woman Nelson…

April 13, 2021 by w b

You asked, and we’ve delivered! We’re excited to announce that we recently added lash lift treatments to our ‘Eyes & Enhancers’ services list. We thought we would use this article to answer all your questions about this new treatment now available at our Nelson city spa.

Read to the very end, because we’re also celebrating the arrival of this treatment with a giveaway… We’re giving you the chance to WIN a lash lift, PLUS a RevitaLash® Advanced Eyelash Conditioner!

Lash Lift – FAQs:

How do lash-lifts actually work?

A lash lift is a process where the lashes adhere to a silicone pad. They are carefully laid flat along the curved edge of a silicone pad and stuck in place. This allows for the lashes to be manipulated, flattering the lash length and eye shape. A perming solution is then applied to the lash and allowed to develop. This sets the hair with a beautiful upward curl in the position it has been placed. Once allowed to develop for the recommended time, we then tint the lashes to see the curl’s full effect. No need for mascara!

Can you customise my lash-lift look?

Absolutely! We select the curl’s size based on your lash length, preference, and our own expertise. This means it can be a very subtle, natural look. Or a dramatic difference, particularly if the client’s lashes are naturally very straight.

Does a lash-lift offer immediate results, and how long do these last?

The results are visible immediately after your treatment at our Nelson spa. Results will last for 6-8 weeks.

Is there anything that needs to be avoided immediately after a lash lift?

You cannot get your lashes wet for 48hours post-treatment, the same as any other perm. Following this rule allows the perm to set fully.

How can I enhance the results from this treatment at home?

To get more longevity from the treatment, we highly recommend using a lash growth serum like Revitalash. These work by extending the growth (anagen) phase of your hair growth cycle and allowing your lashes to grow much longer than usual before they do their natural shedding. By prolonging this growth phase, lash turn over is slower, so your lift will be in full effect longer, and when your longer lashes are given the amazing curl a lift provides, you will have the look of extensions without the upkeep!

What are the benefits of a lash-lift over eyelash extensions?

While lash extensions do look beautiful when first applied, they quickly need an infill to keep the desired effect after a week of wear and tear. This can be both time-consuming and budget draining. Many clients also find it stunts their natural lash growth over time and continual applications of extensions. Lash lifts, on the other hand, enhance what you already have by giving curl to your natural lashes, this both provides a much more natural look with the bonus of being far more durable. Lash extensions require you to avoid oil-based cleansers, side and tummy sleeping, rubbing of the eyes, delicate removal of makeup and so on. Apart from the first 48hours where you can not get the lashes wet post lash lift, there is nothing you have to avoid to keep the lashes looking great. It is just business as usual, how amazing is that?!

Spa Facials and New Year’s Resolutions

January 12, 2021 by w b

Happy new year to you all! We hope you had a wonderful Nelson festive season and took some time to relax. Are you ready to step into 2021 and put your best face forward? To help you do exactly that we thought we’d share some new year’s tips to help you achieve glowing skin. Read on because committing to relaxing spa facials in your beauty regime is a new year’s resolution we know you can keep!

Spa Facials and New Year’s Resolutions:

Here is a list of our Woman Beauty Nelson top five tips to help you achieve glowing skin in 2021.

1: Hit the refresh button:

The new year means it’s time to hit refresh! Sometimes simple solutions can have fabulous effects. And that’s certainly true when it comes to drinking water, the ultimate way to refresh your skin. So, set your daily hydration goals to see a marked improvement in your skin.

2: Sort out your skincare:

When was the last time you gave your bathroom cabinet an overhaul? It’s really easy to get into a skincare product rut, using the same brand and solutions year after year. But as your skin changes, which it does from season to season, and as you age… So too should the skincare products you use. At Woman, we are always happy to offer a complimentary skincare analysis to help you select the right products. Skincare products are often a significant investment, so it really is worth taking some advice to ensure you get the solutions you need for your skin type.

3: Pack your summer (and beyond) survival kit:

While some skincare, products should have their permanent place on your bathroom shelf, there are others you should never leave home without. For your on-hand survival kit always invest in a daily SPF. We also never leave home without a Jane Iredale Hydration Spray. And finally, tuck away an Ultra Clear Spot Treatment, which can help clear up blemishes from 2 hours of application and soothe the skin.

4: Find your facial fit:

Facials should be an essential part of your skincare regime. Whether it’s a relaxing Spa Facial, a quick monthly Ultra Express Facial or an advanced facial therapy, talk to our team about the best maintenance facial to help you meet your skin goals for 2021.

5: Stress less:

Stress can affect your whole body, including your hair, nails, and skin. So, commit to a daily activity that helps you stress less! It might be a fabulous Nelson walk to the Centre of New Zealand or along Tahunanui beach, a moment of mindfulness or a stolen twenty-minutes relaxing in your back yard with a cuppa and your favourite book.

To help you put your best face forward in 2021, we’re launching the New Year with a giveaway competition. Would you like to win a Pure Fiji Spa Facial and Goodie Bag? Enter HERE and Good luck!

Winter Lip Care & Celebrating Lipstick Day… WIN!

July 17, 2020 by w b

We officially celebrate Lipstick Day on the 29th of July. So, to help ensure your lips are in tip-top shape for the big day, we’re sharing a few tips for winter lip care. Read on for all the info… PLUS a chance to WIN!

Winter Lip Care to help you celebrate Lipstick Day:

Harsh environmental factors over winter months play havoc with your skin. Quick changes between cool outside temperatures and excessive airflow from indoor heating also dry out your lips, resulting in chapping and soreness. But help is at hand…

Products to Perfect your Pout:

The best way to look after your lips (and ensure a flawless lipstick application afterwards) is to exfoliate your lips before applying any treatment product such as a lip balm or lip mask.

Jane Iredale has a Dual-Ended Two-in-One Lip Scrub and Lip Plumper product which is great for in the handbag and on the go, or if you go away for a weekend.

Pure Fiji has also launched two new products for winter lip care, providing a dream team for perfect lips!

New Coconut Sugar Lip Polish is available in four infusions – Mango, Coconut Lime, Coconut & Honey and Coconut. Simply take a fingertip of the product and work into the lips in circular motions then remove any residue. This is really important before hydrating the lips as it removes build-up before moving onto our next product… Overnight Sleeping Lip Mask.
Pure Fiji Overnight Sleeping Lip Mask – Simply apply after exfoliating (as above) and you’ll wake up with hydrated and nourished lips.

The Main Event:

Once you’ve prepared for lipstick application, it’s time to choose your favourite colour.

At Woman, we stock a wide range of Jane Iredale lip colours, including tinted balms, lip gloss, lip stains, bullet lipsticks and lip crayons. For enhanced winter lip care we absolutely LOVE the tinted lip balms, they are super hydrating and come in a beautiful range of colours that we can help you match to your complexion.

This winter we are seeing beautiful deep berry tones for lips. Wearing a bold lip breathes life back into what can sometimes be a dull winter complexion, and if you have a lot of black in your winter wardrobe, a pop of colour will help add interest to your look.

It’s Competition Time:

To help you celebrate Lipstick Day, we’ve put together a Lip-Inspired Prize Package. We are giving away:

Pure Fiji Coconut Sugar Lip Polish
Pure Fiji Overnight Sleeping Lip Masque
Jane Iredale Lip Drink Lip Balm
PLUS an Ultra Express Facial

Develop a coconut crush this Valentine’s Day!

January 30, 2020 by w b

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. We believe that you can celebrate this romantic day whether you’re part of a contented couple or satisfyingly single! If you’re looking for romance we know where you should be focusing your attentions… It’s time to develop a coconut crush!

In this week’s blog we thought we’d share three reasons to fall head over heels in ❤️ with coconuts!

Develop a coconut crush this Valentine’s Day:

Amorous Antioxidants:

Coconuts are chock full of powerful antioxidants. They contain phenolic compounds, which are antioxidants that may help protect cells from oxidative damage. These same phenolic compounds also have anti-ageing properties!

Healthy fats to light your fire:

No, we’re not talking cooking fats… We’re talking fats that make your skin glow! Healthy fats are an essential part of any diet. They reduce inflammation and help to keep your joints, hair, skin and nails in tip-top condition.

Romantic rehydration:

Dehydrated skin is sad skin… While a good skincare regime is essential for healthy skin, it’s also important to rehydrate from the inside out. So, be sure to drink your coconut water for an extra hit of hydration.

To help you develop your coconut crush we’re giving away a Pure Fiji Coconut Crush Body Scrub ritual, and all you have to do to enter is fill out a form. Enter HERE.

Additionally, stay tuned for details of our Valentine’s Day Grab-A-Treat. The very same Coconut Crush Body Scrub Ritual will be available for sale at a swooningly special price from 10th February for a limited period. A perfect treat for your loved one or yourself. PLUS buy two for extra special pricing! But this deal isn’t just for couples, bring your friend, daughter, sister or whomever you think needs to take time out for themselves and escape from the every day.

You can view more details here, but this treat won’t go on sale until 10th February.

All you need is LOVE… This Valentine’s Day!

January 15, 2019 by w b

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner… And all you need is LOVE. But this year, we encourage you to think a little differently about how you scatter those hearts around. Whether you’re a singleton, in a budding relationship or fully entrenched in coupledom… We challenge you to show yourself some love! Falling in love with yourself is a sure fire way to build your confidence and positivity.

Five ways to show yourself some love this Valentine’s Day

Be mindful

Taking five minutes to sit back and smell the metaphorical roses is balm for the soul. Find a space to call your own, sit comfortably and breathe! If you need a little guidance we can recommend the Headspace app. There’s a free version so you can try before you buy. Find out more HERE.

Sing yourself a love song

Okay, you don’t actually have to sing! Just think of three things you love about yourself. These might be physical traits, personality traits, or special talents you have. Recognise the good in yourself and raise the roof!

Just say no

Take this as a day you won’t try to be all things to all people. Don’t over stretch yourself or commit to things you really don’t want to do. Just look after #1 and do something that makes you happy.

Buy a gift for yourself

If chocolates and flowers are your thing, don’t wait for somebody else to surprise you, buy them for yourself!

Visit Woman

Escape from the everyday, take time and rediscover what it’s like to feel relaxed, stress free and simply yourself once again. We can help you travel to a tropical island with a Pure Fiji treatment, or daydream your way through a decadent day spa package.

Valentine’s Day Competition.

We’re sharing some in spa love for Valentine’s Day! To celebrate YOU this Valentine’s Day we’re giving away a Head to Toe Reviver (worth $225) to one lucky winner. ENTER HERE.
