September 2014 was a special year for Toni&Guy as
they celebrated 21 seasons as a backstage session
favourite at the shows. Exclusively stocked at the
Vodafone London Fashion Weekend, their Label.m
range was back by popular demand and available at
their onsite Toni&Guy salon. Very much appreciated by
virtually everybody backstage, it is the brand of brands that
is hard not to love.Their range of Label.m products is huge
and caters for all types of hair and styling, making it very
easy to find a product that will suit any hairstyling needs.
At the Toni&Guy salon and the Label.m Makeover Bar, we
discovered the most used products at the shows and the
most popular for AW14.
Label.m Volume Mousse
It is by far the most popular product to use backstage at
London FashionWeek because it creates amazing volume
and a great lift from the roots, allowing it to mould your
hair and creates big up-dos with easy styling. Ideal for
quick transformations, thanks to its edge-driven texture,
it is also easy to use on damp hair. Just work through
with fingertips or blow dry for a more intense volume and
lift. This product also washes out easily without damage
to the hair. If the volume is not big enough, try Label.m
Sea Salt Spray, which is
ideal to create those tousled,
out-of-the-beach style, giving
an extra edgy, matte finish
look to the hair. Spray onto
damp or dry hair, followed
by blow drying for a thicker
matt effect or leave to dry
naturally for a more natural,
wavy effect.
Sleek Blow Out Cream
Famously used to recreate the sleekest of hairstyles,
as seen at the Amanda Wakeley and Nicholas Oakwell
catwalk shows, Label.m Sleek Blow Out Cream is
a lightweight, nourishing cream that not only protects
against heat and UV rays, but makes the hair glossy and
smooth, leaving it frizz-free, soft and super shiny. With
ingredients of avocado oil, fruit extract and acerola
fruit extract, it also nourishes the hair and restores lost
moisture, leaving hair feeling healthier and smoother.
For best results, apply a small amount evenly through damp
or dry hair before blow drying.

St Tropez
St Tropez was a true revelation this year at
LFWEND.The super busy salon proved that
St Tropez is the tan to sport this season.The
brand has gone from strength to strength over
the past few years, with their latest innovation a
must-have at the catwalks, thanks to their super-
fast tan development. It gives a beautiful tan
finish in no time, and time is priceless backstage!
Talking to their St Tropez tan salon at LFWEND,
we discovered the latest trends and most wanted
products from their collection.
St Tropez Self Tan Express Advance
Bronzing Mousse
This mousse is like magic, it makes you decide
how light or dark you want your tan to be by
choosing when to shower! How does it work?
After application, the tan develops in just one
hour, for the lightest effect, but if that is not
enough, you can choose to let it develop much
longer on your skin before showering. By keeping
the tan on for two hours, this will give you a
medium tan, while a three-hour development
will give you a really dark tone. Amazing!
Another of their favourite was the Self Tan Luxe
Dry Oil. Thanks to the presence of essential
oils, this tan is ideal for that ultimate, natural
looking golden glow, giving the skin a nice tone,
no matter your type. The non-greasy formula
moisturises for up to seven days leaving the skin
feeling soft and gently fragranced, free from any
self-tan odour. For best results and to maintain
any tan, moisturise and exfoliate regularly and re-
apply as needed.
Launched in 1981 by Essie Weingarten,
Essie Cosmetics are synonymous of
vibrant, trendy and fun nail varnish in
super cute size bottles; like a candy shop I
want them all! The ever so busy nail bar really
showed the love for this brand. Among the
array of colours available, two were the main
choice for this season.
Dress To Kilt Collection
This autumn 2014 collection is a combination
of classic and chic shades inspired by
espionage and the thrill of the chase, like
a movie. Available in six delicious warm
autumn shades, the most popular is Dress
To Kilt, a dark ruby red, almost dangerous
to wear, and The Perfect Cover Up, a chic,
intriguing grey with teal undertones, that is
easy to wear with almost anything, day or
night.
Quick-E Drying Drops
This is a super-fast way to set your manicure
in just 60 seconds! Perfect for when you’re
in a rush, not just for catwalk-ready! Applying
over the top coat will seal any polish with
intense shine.
