Spring clean your makeup pouch in Nelson!

by

Spring has arrived in Nelson, which means it’s time to clear out your makeup pouch and make way for new season colours.

Spring is the time to lighten and brighten things up. As you reach for your pastel-hued tops or bright neon jewellery you should also be thinking about updating your makeup palette.

Creating your canvas

We have a range of Jane Iredale pure mineral foundations that help create a radiant, soft-focus effect. Update your foundation seasonally as your skin tone and texture will change.

Spring blooms

Pastels are always in fashion for spring. Get fresh-faced with a little rose-tinted blush for a healthy radiance.

Lips to love

Kiss goodbye to your darker berry shades and say hello to tropical fruits! Mango and watermelon flavours are spring and summer hits. Keep your lips soft and smooth with Jane Iredale hydrating, vitamin-rich lip colours. From stains to glosses, to good old-fashioned bullet lipsticks, we have your full-lipped favourites!

Open your eyes

Yes, we know you wear your sunnies most of the time, but sometimes you’ll want to enjoy the untinted view… So make sure you’re dressed for the occasion. The hottest eye makeup trends on the runway were bright colours, think yellow and azure blue! But if that’s not your thing, you can’t go wrong with warm browns and shimmery peaches.

Getting your glow on

Nothing says spring quite like that naturally dewy glow. We love Jane Iredale Hydration Sprays, they lift our spirits and set our makeup the day. Perfect to slip in your handbag, if you’re heading for drinks after work they’ll freshen your face up in a spritz!

Be a sparkling socialite

As you head into the summer party season add some razzle-dazzle to your Nelson evening… We love the Jane Iredale 24-Karat Gold Dust. For a shimmering, ethereal look, sweep it across cheeks, eyes, lips and even your décolletage. You can even blend it into your favourite hair product for glittering up-do.

At Woman Beauty Nelson, we’re proud to be the Nelson stockist of the beautiful range of Jane Iredale mineral makeup. Join us for our upcoming Jane Iredale event on Wednesday 24th October. We have appointments throughout the day with makeup artist Melanie McConnell, and our very own Hayley & Georgia, so you can perfect your spring makeup. Your booking fee ($40) is redeemable against any Jane Iredale products purchased on the day. Contact us to book your space, as these days sell out fast!

Woman Beauty Nelson guide to Waxing

by

Spring is here, so it’s time to shed your layers… And that includes any extra fuzz that may have formed over the winter months! In this week’s blog article we’re bringing you the Woman Beauty Nelson guide to waxing!

waxing nelson

Why should you wax?

  • Your body hair naturally grows in three phases, to get the best removal results, you need to catch the hair in the anagen (initial) growth phase, every time. So establishing a good wax routine is essential.
  • With consistent waxing, you could find that any regrowth is finer and slower.
  • Waxing has many benefits over shaving for hair removal. Because your hair is pulled from the roots the effects of waxing last longer than shaving. You are also less likely to get nicks, cuts and rashes if you choose to wax over shaving.

Where can you wax?

  • We can wax you from underarm to lower leg. Check out our price list HERE.

Before your wax appointment…

  • Make sure your skin is clean and free from moisturisers and lotions before your waxing appointment.
  • If you are particularly sensitive or having your first wax; you could take Panadol or Nurofen up to an hour before your appointment to minimise any discomfort.
  • Dress in loose clothes for your waxing appointment at Woman Beauty in Nelson.

After your wax appointment…

  • Your skin will need to calm after your appointment. We stock the Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range that can help to soothe, nourish and replenish skin; ask us about it at your appointment.
  • Avoid all other lotions, perfumes, antiperspirants and colognes until your skin has calmed.
  • Keep your loose clothes on after waxing until your skin has calmed. Tights, pants and jeans can irritate the skin or cause ingrown hairs.
  • If you’re showering or bathing after your appointment, make sure you use warm, not hot water.
  • Don’t hit the gym straight after your waxing appointment. Working up a sweat can cause irritation and a rash.

Does Woman Beauty Nelson offer alternatives to waxing for hair removal?

  • Yes, we can offer electrolysis. A consultation is required before treatment. Your appointment time and costs may vary depending on the area that is going to be treated.
  • We also offer ELOS IPL Permanent Hair Reduction, book in for your free consultation, if you would like to explore this option.

Ultraceuticals at Woman Beauty Nelson

by

At Woman, we’re proud to be exclusive Nelson stockists of the premier range of facial cosmeceuticals, Ultraceuticals.

Ultraceuticals is one of Australia’s pre-eminent cosmeceutical brands. The range offers professional grade products formulated to address major skin concerns such as ageing, pigmentation and acne. The result is your best-ever skin!

But what are cosmeceuticals?

Cosmeceuticals contain active ingredients (10%- 25%). These ingredients make actual changes in the second layer of the skin and work by getting the skin to function and perform as it should. The ingredients in cosmeceuticals also help to look after and protect the important lipid barrier of the skin, allowing for better penetration of the active ingredients. These products need to come via the recommendation of a qualified skin therapist, after a thorough consultation and assessment of your skin.

As we head into spring and summer it’s time to give your cosmetic bag and bathroom cabinet an overhaul, and add some extra protection! As well as the fabulous range of cleansers, serums and moisturisers on offer, Ultraceuticals can also help protect you from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Relax Nelson

How to relax in Nelson.
  • The fragrance of flowers – We’re blessed with our beautiful reserves and parks in Nelson, and you will always find something in bloom to satisfy the senses. When was the last time you took a wander through Queens Gardens or Miyazu Gardens? Pop it on your relaxation register!
  • Smell the coffee – If there’s one thing we’re not short of in Nelson, it’s delightful coffee shops. The simple smell of coffee can help reduce stress hormones, but we prefer to drink it! #loveyourlocalcoffeeshop

  • Enjoy some exercise – Pick your pastime and get those endorphins pumping. From swimming to SUP, and biking to trail running, there’s a huge adventure playground on our doorstep.
  • Walk into Woman Beauty – Our clients often say they feel their troubles melting away as soon as they walk through the door of our beautiful Nelson villa, and we do our best to foster a sense of tranquillity and calm.

Bridal Beauty Treatments @ Woman Beauty Nelson

by

bridal beauty treatments nelson

We may be in the depth of winter, but summer will be here before you know it and with it wedding season! So, it’s time to start thinking about your bridal beauty treatments. At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we have a range of days to pamper brides-to-be and the rest of the bridal party!

Enjoying a day packed full of bridal beauty treatments, before the actual day itself, has a heap of benefits! Here are, what we think, are the top three!

  • Meet and greet – Often a bridal party will include friends from various stages of your life, who may not have met before. So, organising a day full of bridal beauty treatments gives everybody the chance to get to know each other before the big day. You may also find that you’re reconnecting with old friends. Catching up in the comfort of our beautifully restored 1860s villa is a great way to get reacquainted with friends you haven’t seen for a while. You’ll get the opportunity to spend some time in our relax lounge. Or, we also offer dining options for bridal days in conjunction with Nelson’s, highly reviewed, Cod & Lobster Brasserie.
  • And… Relax – One of the things about planning a wedding that nobody tells you, is that it’s hard work! Taking time out for some bridal beauty treatments is a great way to catch your breath before the big day itself.
  • Confidence for your big day – Getting married is a big thing! But we don’t need to tell you that. You’ll want to look and feel fabulous, and indulging in some bridal beauty treatments, will help to ensure that you do.

At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we welcome groups of three or more people at one time*. If your group is larger than this, we can still accommodate your party with staggered bookings. Check out our range of bridal beauty treatments here. Then contact us to book yours.

Spa treatments to warm up your Nelson winter

by

At Woman Beauty we believe that nothing compares to a relaxing treatment to warm up your winter. Step through our doors on a dismal day in Nelson, and we’re certain you’ll feel immediately cocooned and quietly comforted. So, in this week’s blog article, we’re sharing some of our most popular spa treatments to add some warmth to your week!

spa treatments nelson

Five spa treatments to give you the warm fuzzies…

  • Massage starts with Mmmmm:

    A massage is a perfect way to warm up in winter. For extra toastiness try the Aromastone Massage, this blissful head to toe spa treatment utilises hot stones. Buy yours here. Or relax and drift away with the special blends of the Pacific with the Full Body Island Massage. You can choose whether you drift off for sixty or ninety minutes. Buy yours here.

  • Wrap up warm:

    The Pure Fiji Island Wrap hydrates your dry skin so you will benefit from a beautiful “island glow”. To begin with, your skin is gently dry brushed and warmed tropical oil is generously applied. Your body is wrapped with hot stones while a warm oil scalp massage releases tension hydrating the skin and detoxifying the system. You will leave with your mind renewed and your body restored. Buy yours here.

  • Indulge yourself:

    At the end of a cold winter’s day, it’s tempting to relax in a warm bath. We don’t think you should have to wait until the end of the day! Instead, indulge in a hydrotherapy bath at Woman Beauty Nelson. After this, you’ll receive a full body massage, before finishing with a spa facial and taking time out in the relax lounge. Buy yours here.

  • Escape to the tropics:

    Spa treatments can be like a mini break! Take half a day to pretend you are on holiday. Start with the signature Tropical Paradise Ritual. After this enjoy a crème scrub exfoliation followed by a relaxing massage with exotic oil. You will then be painted with body butter, and cocooned while enjoying a Fijian scalp treatment with warm oil. This pampering wouldn’t be complete without adding a spa manicure and pedicure. After this enjoy time out with a complimentary refreshment in the relax lounge. Buy yours here.

  • Do it with a friend 😉:

    Enjoy our seasonal special this winter! This Couple Retreat is designed to be enjoyed with your partner or bestie. We’ll start you off with a warm foot soak using Pure Fiji bath soak. This is followed by a sugar scrub and a relaxing full body massage. Buy yours here; the special price is for two people.
