why it matters......


What do Rimmel, Marc Jacobs Miss Sporty or Bourjois have in common? Or what about Nivea and La Prairie? Yep, you guessed it they are owned by huge umbrella companies.
Okay, it is not a secret that very few companies own many beauty brands. There’s a big fat chance that you already know this. Brands move to different companies fairly frequently and there have been some really recent acquisitions. But why you might be asking, does it matter? Well, it might well be working to your advantage!
Many umbrella companies have brands covering a range of prices and demographic appeal. But despite there being lots of range they all share the same technology and innovations when it comes to their formulations. If you are a  beauty junky it is a win - win situation!

SLEEPING BEAUTY - PART 1 - 5 BEAUTY BENEFITS OF A GOOD NIGHTS' SLEEP! - MINI SERIES

Hello! W elcome to part one of the "SLEEPING BEAUTY" mini series at  Savvy 'n Sassy ! Our beauty routines often involve expensive layer after layer of creams and serums and whilst these help, there are natural bodily functions that can help us even more than your sixty quid serum. The function I am talking about is SLEEP! As we sleep our body repairs itself which in turn brings us amazing health and beauty benefits!

If we could just get an extra 1 to 3 hours of shut eye, Breuss (1) says that we will notice the difference in a day! I dream of getting even 5 hours of sleep a night. Anyone who knows me knows that I am always struggling with dark under eye circles due to lack of sleep. I would love them to diminish! So, what are the beauty benefits of getting more sleep? * A h ealthier, fuller ...
