It’s hard to be good all the time, we get that. And holidays are the most difficult time of all to play by the rules, so whether you turned that two for one cocktail hour into an all nighter and the closest you got to a hot cloth cleanse was face planting your pillow or you reached for the razor when you realised your new bikini was a little higher cut than you originally thought, you might be left with a few vacation regrets right now. Don’t stress, it’s all fixable, here’s how... By Jo Hoare

The revival of the scrunchie has been on our radar for quite some time now, but it wasn’t until we spotted them on the runway at NYFW this week that we really started to get excited. Worn low and loose in a relaxed ponytail (no pineapple heads here), if Mansur Gavriel’s show is anything to go by, they’re officially back. Sure, they may still invoke imagery of cheesy 80’s workout videos but today’s scrunchie (the scrunchie 2.0 as we like to call it) has had a serious makeover, not to mention a stamp of approval from the fash pack and…

This week Rihanna unveiled the campaign video for her Fenty Beauty Line, and it’s safe to say the internet has gone crazy for it (for all the right reasons). Already dubbed as far more than just an advertisement for her launch, many are calling it an ode to and a celebration of diversity in beauty. And this got us thinking. Lately we've spotted more and more celebs and big brands championing for diversity in an industry plagued by unrealistic beauty standards. These top 5 moments from the past few months are like a breath of fresh air, proving that feeling comfortable in your own…

You know you've struck gold when you find the perfect brow bar. According to a recent article in The Guardian, brows are the ‘beauty obsession of the decade’, and we couldn’t agree more. With A-lister’s like Cara Delevigne and Kim Kardashian paving the way with their envy-inducing power brows, it’s no wonder that tinting and threading searches on Treatwell are up by 50% nationwide. From HD Brows to microblading, the eyebrow grooming industry is booming, and with so many breakthrough treatments on offer, it’s never been easier to book in for the brows of your dreams. But where to begin? From hidden gems…

Beloved for its low committal style and cool grown out appeal, balayage has been everyone’s go-to hairstyle for a number of years now, but most would agree that it’s due for a bit of an upgrade. And that’s where pastelage hair comes in. Usually done in a freehand ‘painting’ technique with varying shades of blonde, brown and caramel to create a natural sun kissed look, the pastelage evolution uses a combination of (you guessed it) pastel tones instead. From gentle pinks to vibrant turquoises, the easter egg hues found in many pastelage styles are fun and universally flattering (not to…

The long and short term effects of both invasive and non-invasive skin procedures can have a hugely positive effect on your complexion, but those who have had them will know that intensive clinical treatments can often initially leave skin feeling sensitive, irritated and weakened. From microdermabrasion to chemical peels and laser treatments, if you want to reap the full benefits of your facial, aftercare is key to help restore health, strength and balance back into stressed out skin. So if you’re on the hunt for some calming yet highly effective post-procedure products that will not only help speed up the…

We’re just going to come out and say it: they were adorable while they lasted but this summer we’re jumping on the anti-flower crown bandwagon, and we invite you to jump on with us. Sure, they may conjure up imagery of 70’s hippies and ethereal fairytale characters (not to mention the masses at Coachella) but now, 5 years on, they’ve become about as basic as drinking a pumpkin spice latte while wearing Uggs and Lululemon yoga pants. Don’t do it people. It’s time to move on, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still incorporate flowers into your getup next time…

It’s official, nail extensions are back on our beauty radar and this year they’re better than ever. Fitted elegantly to your nail, today’s new breed of extension is nothing like the thick, square tipped talons you rocked as a teenager, oh no.

If you’re in the market for a modern set of extensions, our edit of London’s best nail salons is a great place to start. Read on to find out more… By Rebecca Hoffnung

From waxing and threading to plucking and microblading, we sure put our brows through a lot in the quest for perfect arches. They’re the beauty obsession of the decade, so it’s no wonder tinting and threading searches on Treatwell are up by 50% nationwide. We’re brow obsessed! But we can all use a little help from time to time. Cue beauty guru Shavata Singh, CEO of Shavata Brow Studio.

Say bonjour to macaron buns, the latest low-key French girl hair trend, and newest iteration of summer's ever popular space buns. Characterised by their laid back low slung style, instead of being placed high on top of the head like their space bun counterpart, macaron buns are tied loosely and low at the nape of the neck. Getting their name from the similarly shaped French sweet treat, Parisian girls can’t get enough of this super cool style. Right now they’re taking the internet by storm and already trending on Pinterest big time - their analytics team recently reported a 170% spike…

It's the secret to a youthful, plump complexion but just how exactly do you go about boosting your skin's own natural collagen levels? As the resident collagen hunter here at Treatwell HQ, believe me when I say I’ve tried everything. Along with hyaluronic acid and elastin, this skin-plumping protein is the key ingredient behind a young and fresh looking complexion, so activating and increasing these proteins with a hardworking facial is vital in your quest for a long lasting youthful glow. But forget creams and serums; the latest beauty tech is where it's at. I’ve trawled the country for the…

Just like that go-to pair of boyfriend jeans, the boyfriend bob is as easy to wear, as it is chic. Early adopters ( including the likes of Vanessa Hudgens) are styling out this 'borrowed from the boys' haircut by casually tucking it behind their ears, wearing it with sharp, centre partings and frankly we're obsessed. It's the cool-girl cut we've all been waiting for. Here's everything you need to know... By Rebecca Hoffnung

Paring back your beauty regime to suit those pesky airline liquid restrictions is a real bore. Fact. Every product has its own unique spot in your life and deciding which to ditch, and which to take is tougher than that weekly Love Island vote. Save yourself the drama (and the packing space) by booking in for a pre-holiday beauty treatment that goes the extra mile and lightens your beauty load in the process. No room for mascara? No problem... By Liz Hambleton
