Our favourite home of indulgence, the Urban Beauty Spa is now proud to offer Dublin's first Fresh Caviar Facial. Yep, you read that right.

The Fresh Caviar Facial straight from Paris and Ericson Laboratoire.... Caviar is a rare and precious substance rich in nutritious matter called VITELLUS ( from the latin “vita” meaning “life”). Fresh caviar calls offer a nutritive protein-filled cocktail rich in peptides and essential amino acids, which themselves are the ultimate “building blocks” of all the cells in the body.

This intense regeneration treatment is designed for mature as well as devitalized skin. The three most important elements in any anti-ageing treatment are MOISTURISING, NOURISH and FIRMING, have all been included in this facial to deeply stimulate the cell metabolism and provide the nutrients to maintain a young looking skin.

Other reasons to visit Urban Beauty include discounts on a variety of skincare treatments in preparation for your big day as well as all of your grooming needs for the day itself; waxing, tanning, manicure and pedicure with discounts available to your wedding party.

Rodial A-List Cleanser

Here at Confetti we know that amazing skin is of vital importance to all you brides-to-be out there. Hey- we hear you; we all want to look like glowing yoga-addicts/nine-hours sleep every night/five-a-day veggie eating goddesses as well! But if you, like us, is struggling to adhere to the above, here our magic little secret:

Rodial A-list Cleanser! And with a celebrity following of Mischa Barton, Katie Holmes and Eva Longoria Parker, it is no wonder they call this stuff the red carpet of facial cleansing! The smart people behind this wonder-product knows that if you commit the skincare crime of scrubbing your face with harsh cleansers, you will more than likely make your poor face look older than its years. Rodial A-list Cleanser on the other hand is super gentle and will help brighten your skin whilst working to banish signs of aging like hyper-pigmnetation and age spots.

The lightening amino-acids won’t just wash away the dirt and grime, but also help even out your skin tone, and the water lily extract will calm any irritation and sensitive skin. So if you want to look total A-list on your big day, girls, don’t tell us we didn’t show you how!

THREE CUSTOM COLOR

We love cosmetics designed specifically for the big day so were delighted when the Marry Me Collection from Three Custom Color Specialists landed on our desks.

The Marry Me Lip and Cheek Collection includes a lip and cheek stain, a lip liner and a lip gloss. The collection was designed to celebrate founder Trea Bodge's own wedding and was worn by her and her maid of honour on the big day. We were impressed by how easily the stain creates a flushed, glowing cheek with little effort. The long-lasting lip liner and gloss can be trusted to take you through from the kiss at the altar to the last sip of champagne. In credit-crunching times the smart recessionista is saving money by doing her own bridal makeup, and Three Custom Color Specialists very helpfully include an instructional card with detailed tips on how to get the most out of this trio of products.
