LUCKY OUTFITS TO CELEBRATE 2022

By Glow Concierge | Beauty, Fashion, Party | No Comments

2021 is almost over, which means everyone has probably already started getting their hopes up about the next year. Every time, we hope for a brighter future, and many would even start believing in magic tricks to increase the chances of it happening.

So what can you do to make 2022 ‘your’ year? The answer is in colours!

According to the Chinese Astrology, the next year will be the year of a black/blue water tiger. In some cultures, people believe that having a tiger figure at home will serve to bring luck during the next year. However, the colour palette of the outfit is also very important. Astrologists advise wearing cold colours during the New Year’s celebrations, or even going with a tiger print.

You can also adapt the outfit to your wishes for 2022!

RED

Red is quite a common colour that always takes a dominant role when it comes to Lunar celebrations. It has grown to represent joy and ambition, as well as bring good luck and good fortune.

BLUE

As already mentioned, blue is the lucky colour of 2022 (from the water tiger). Moreover, the colour is known for its ability to induce feelings of calm and relaxation. And in many Latin American countries it is associated with hope and good health.

PURPLE

For a long time, this colour has been associated with royalty. Even though the time has passed, in some cultures it is still considered a good sign to wear purple on New Year’s Eve if you wish to achieve career success in the coming year.

There are way more colours out there, and each of them eventually will represent something good in some culture. The main point is that you feel lucky in your outfit!

Whatever the colour you pick, we wish you to believe in yourself and the luck will come to you! Happy New Year & don’t forget to treat yourself in 2022 – it might just be your key to success;)

By Glow Concierge | Beauty, Fashion, Party | No Comments

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, a time of crackling fires, red wine and parties! We’ve taken a look at the latest hair trends for winter. Some of them might be quite surprising!

Hands up who remembers the ‘zig zag’ parting of the 90s?! Is it really true that its making a come back this winter? If Bella Hadid is anything to go by then that is a resounding yes!

Icy blonde is here to stay! Who dallied with a beachy, honey blonde this summer? Time to return to that icy ashy blonde that we love so much! This hue isn’t just reserved for long locks, as proven by Cynthia Erivo, who has recently made it her signature look.

Unexpected accessories have been seen on every catwalk and every magazine this last month! Have you been eyeing up those Prada hair clips? With party season upon us, who can resist a sparkly hair clip reminiscent of our youth?!

When it comes to hair colors for winter, your options are endless. Making the most of your colour palette is vital, and violet pink is still in…thank the lord ! It’s a subtle, soft shade, like the spring blossoms yet to arrive.

Curls are back! Tight curls, loose curls, shaggy curls, you name it and its been on the catwalk this autumn. Whichever way you look, curls are having a major moment, don’t forget to use a heat protectant while styling to protect your hair.

CHRISTMAS MANICURE IDEAS

By Glow Concierge | Beauty, Party | No Comments

The festive season has begun, the streets are lightning up with decorations, the city smells of “Glühwein” and the stores are filled with shoppers looking for the perfect gift. Many of us, inspired by this Christmas atmosphere, have begun to decorate the house and seek to bring as many red and sparkly things into our lives as possible.

This time of the year is also a perfect occasion to go crazy with your manicure. Even if you are used to wearing nude colors or just french on your nails, you can get seduced by the bright red colors that are surrounding you during Christmas.

We went through works of many world-renowned nail artists and found some easy-to-make, gorgeous Christmas Mani ideas:

GLITTER!

The first and the most obvious decision for Christmas is glitter. However, you can always be playful with it. Ask your provider what colors she/he has, and maybe you’ll stumble upon the most unusual and bright tone.

It’s also an option to apply sparkly polish only on the tip of your nail, creating a beautiful french manicure

COLORFUL FRENCH AND REVERSED FRENCH

We already mentioned how you can alter the standard french manicure to get a completely unique pattern. Take red, green, silver or gold colors and go on experimenting.

CRYSTALS

Even the simplest one-color manicure can get so much more exciting with just a couple of sparkling crystals.

BLOBS

This beautiful technique has become extremely popular recently. This manicure is quite easy to make and will always look different.

FESTIVE DOTS

You can be so imaginative with this dots manicure. Use your imagination, choose the colors you want and get a playful and beautiful manicure in the end.

Now, what can be better than sitting at your home in a cozy blanket and creating Christmas nail art together with your provider.

PREPPING FOR CHRISTMAS – PRO STYLE!

By Glow Concierge | Beauty, Home, Party | No Comments

I’m Rose, the founder of Glow Concierge and I love Christmas! I’m literally obsessed, like a small child! In fact, I probably get way more excited than most children. I have Christmas carefully planned out by about August, Christmas presents sourced and bought insanely early (I have a spreadsheet organised by spring!), stockings prepared, and the house decorated in an abundance of green foliage, lights and baubles.

The thing I can’t plan early for though is myself! I of course want to match the house and be as sparkly and preened as can be! Of course waxing, lashes, manicure and pedicure can be planned a little in advance, maybe a week to 10 days maximum if I’m using gellack on the nails. At the moment, I’m loving a bit of a mix with my manicures. I love a couple of nails in one colour, then another couple nude with the other colour as a tip. Of course I also add a bit of sparkle! I think the French style is so elegant and when you modernise it a bit with a smaller tip or a sparkly edge to it then it looks great. It doesn’t always have to be red or green, I have an amazing coppery brown sparkly colour that I’m obsessed with at the moment. For my lashes I tend to go for a lash lift most of the time, but Christmas demands extensions!

The week before I’ll have a facial to make sure my skin is as prepared as it can be for the onslaught of too much chocolate and champagne, and not enough sleep! I am pretty good about my skincare routine in general, but at this time of year when it’s so cold and dry, I could probably try a bit harder! That’s why a good facial is so important. I’ve got a Microneedling appointment booked for next week and a facial one week before Christmas. I also just bought a new serum from Dermalogica which is amazing!

Lastly I will book a hair appointment a couple of days before Christmas to make sure my colour is on point and a good blow dry lasts a good few days, so it should still be looking good on Christmas morning, the last thing you want to be doing on Christmas Day is trying to find time to do your hair!

Makeup – I’d love to have someone come to me on Christmas Day, but I leave that to the parties beforehand! I absolutely love dressing up and having my hair and makeup done before a party! A couple of friends and I usually do it together, which keeps the cost down and makes it a bit of an event. We’ll have a glass of wine, music and get in the mood for going out…or indeed staying in!
