Opal Stevens' Beauty Blogger of the Week: Hannah

By -

I'm very excited to announce this week's "Beauty Blogger of the Week" - the lovely Hannah!  She has a lot of great posts on a wide range of beauty, fashion and health related posts. Everyone should definitely check out her blog Flawed Excellence. 

How did you get started blogging? 
I'm always on youtube, I love the beauty gurus on there and I noticed quite a lot mentioned their blogs, so I visited a few and liked what I saw so I thought, "Hey why can't I do that?". So I did, and I'm really enjoying it.

Favorite Hair Tip or Product? 
One hair product that I swear by is the Aussie Three Minute Miracle. I use it once every 1-2 weeks and it leaves my hair so soft! And it's also part of Aussies heat defense range, so win-win!

Beauty trend you love? 
At the moment, I'm really liking neutral make up but with a really bright lip, like a red or candy pink.

Favorite fashion trend? 
I'm really loving the tribal/aztec prints. I've always liked a bold print and i love these especially.


Favorite Health tip?
Well, the obvious is to drink lots of water. Good for the skin and body. I've actually gotten into eating fruit and veggies as snacks, you know, apples, grapes, lettuce, bananas etc.

What are some of your favorite beauty products?
L'Oreal Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover. It's gentle but still removes all traces of make up.

Barry M Nail Paints. They come in a range of fab colours and don't chip easily.

Maybelline Great Lash Blackest Black Mascara. I have quite long eyelashes naturally, so this mascara emphasizes that and makes them thicker. 

Bourjois’ Chocolate Bronzer. I just think it's a really great bronzer and it smells absolutely yummy!


Collection 2000 16 Hour Wear Concealer. It only costs £4 and it's one of the best concealers I've ever used. It covers brilliantly.


Urban Decay Naked Palette. Who doesn't love this product? It has such great colors that are brilliant for everyday and evening looks.

    I thought I was the only person Great Lash worked for! Trouble for me is that it's not cruelty free. Great post, though! =]

As we inch closer to the new year it's a great to reminisce at some of the style high points of 2011! Crazy Hair Colors:  Katy Perry went pink, Charlotte Free went pink, Lady Gaga went pink. It was definitely a wild trend!  Red Hair: This was a popular hair color this year with stars like Drew Barrymore, Demi Lovato, Blake Lively, and Emma Stone rocking their red locks.  Ombre Nails: Ombre hair has been extremely popular trend the last couple of years, but ombre nails made a big splash in the world of fashion this year.  Fuchsia  Lip: This bold lip color was featured at Diane von Furstenberg, but Natalie Portman showed off a more wearable version at the Golden Globes.  Dip Dye Hair: Ombre hair was taken to a completely new level with the introduction of rainbow colors. Lauren Conrad was a huge part of making this such a popular trend.  What were your favorite trends of 2011?

Dr. Sue Ann Wee on Acne Scarring, Types of Acne Scars, and Treatment Options

By -

Dr. Sue Ann Wee is Board Certified Dermatologist with expertise in laser surgery, cosmetic, and medical dermatology. I got the opportunity to ask her a few questions about acne scarring and the treatment options that are available for those suffering from acne scarring.  Why does acne scarring occur? When acne occurs, it is accompanied by an inflammatory response which injures the skin. This injured area of skin then undergoes wound repair in which the body produces scar tissue (collagen) to heal the wound. Although, the body replaces injured tissue with the same type of tissue (collagen) that is present in normal tissue, scar tissue lays down collagen in a  different and inferior manner compared to normal tissue collagen. This different arrangement of collagen in the body’s healing  process is the key feature of scar formation. What are the different types of acne scars? There are 5 main types of acne scars: rolling, box-car, ice-pick, hypertrophic, and keloid. R

Every girl wants long, beautiful, flowing, shiny hair. Or, at least all the girls I know... Currently, I'm in the process of trying to grow out my hair.

Drink Lots and Lots of Water I know, I know you hear it all the time, but it's true. Drinking water is sooooo good for you and there is a seemingly endless list of benefits.
