Good reasons to have lash extensions
1. Time: in beefing up your natural lashes, lash extensions make lashes look fuller, longer and more dramatic without makeup. So if you are a person who, having rolled out of bed, only has time to put a wipe to your face of a morning (makeup - what's that?), this treatment was made for you. Remembering that lash extensions need to be maintained: they are said to last for the full cycle of the natural lash (around 60 days), but infills are recommended every month.
2. Age: while adding thickness and volume to your natural lash growth, which can diminish with age, lash extensions can take years off your face in much the same way as highlights.
3. Fashion: false lashes have been selling in recent months it's predicted that lash extensions will surpass them as the eye-maker of choice because they don't need to be stuck on with every occasion.

Five Steps to the Modern Gentleman
Tom Ford the ultimate gentle is the man responsible for creating some of the most desirable fashion on the planet has also mastered the art of being the perfect gentleman, and has been kind enough to impart his five gentlemanly commandments toAnOther Magazine editor-in-chief Jefferson Hack. Men of the world, take note:
1. You should put on the best version of yourself when you go out in the world because that is a show of respect to the other people around you.
2. A gentleman today has to work. People who do not work are so boring and are usually bored. You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.
3. Manners are very important and actually knowing when things are appropriate. I always open doors for women, I carry their coat, I make sure that they're walking on the inside of the street. Stand up when people arrive at and leave the dinner table.
4. Don't be pretentious or racist or sexist or judge people by their background.
5. A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.

How to Shop for Your Man
Buys for guys
The trends
If you want to buy an on-trend outfit for a man, go for apale-blue button-down shirt with a knitted tie, chinos, a pair of loafers and a double-breasted knitted cardigan. Stripy tops or a chambray shirt are great if you want to be a little more adventurous, and navy is a particularly flattering colour. But stay clear of anything too fashiony. Don't buy any drop-crotch sweat pants. This season the braver man will try gladiator sandals - but they're not for everyone. Think about the man's profession and what he already has in his wardrobe, so your purchase is practical.
Accessorise
Comme des Garçons leather wallets look great come in lots of shades, so it's one area where a man can be a bit more colourful. Belts are also good to buy, as men don't often spend a lot of money on them. You could give them a really luxurious one.

Finishing touches
No man is going to complain if you buy an expensivemen's watch. A man wears a watch because he can't wear a Porsche on his wrist. It's the one thing that men feel OK to talk about sartorially.

Appeal to his vanity
When it comes to presents for men the best things come in small packages. Tell them the gift will make them look younger and more handsome and they won't argue - most men are open to grooming. But you want products that looks good in the bathroom, too, such as Aesop or Ole Henriksen. Fragrances are difficult, as they smell different on different people, although I'd never turn down a Tom Ford scent - they are all amazing.

Toys for boys
Men love their gadgets. My favourite place to shop is japantrendshop.com , which sells a lot of things that you can only buy in Tokyo and Japan, but everything will work in United States.

Rules for Gentlmen Dressing
The tailor Richard James - the man who has reinvigorate Savile Row - has just produced a collection of off-the-peg suits, jackets, shirts and ties for John Lewis under the name Mayfair. I encourage you to go take a look, as it's all beautifully cut and relatively inexpensive.
1. There are three things to consider when buying a suit. Fit. Fit. And fit. Be aware of the shoulders and chest: too big, and the suit is wearing you; too small, and it looks like something borrowed from your younger bother.
2. Colour-coordinate your accessories. For example, brown belt with brown shoes with brown watch strap; small details that will barely register, but show a certain amount of care - exactly what's expected of a true gentleman.
3. Be your own man. Men should buy clothes on their own, not with their wife or girlfriend.
4. Never get dressed in the dark. Obvious, but far too often you see men on the street with mismatched colours and patterns. Before you leave home turn the lights on and look in the mirror. If you don't like what you see, start again.
5. Wear good quality shoes. Men always look better in classic British shoes that are not overly fashionable. So often you see men have invested in a good suit, shirt and tie, but the whole look is let down by scruffy shoes.
6. Novelty ties are a no-no; they are never amusing. Buy the best-quality silk tie you can afford - handmade using a very high silk count.
7. Don't be afraid of colour. A lot of men feel it's not masculine to indulge colour - start off with a bright tie or pair of socks and then try a lilac or cerise-pink shirt. In the summer we sell lots of sky-blue jackets to men who only thought they could wear navy.
8. A good suit garners respect , be it in the boardroom or ensuring the best table in a restaurant. Suits are designed to improve a man's overall appearance, which in turn increases confidence. The phrase 'dress for success' could have been coined with suits in mind.
9. A simple accessory can transform a look. For example, an elegant vintage watch will make any look work, casual or formal. It is great to see a pair of scruffy jeans worn with a beautiful luxury belt. The devil is in the details.
10. All rules are there to be broken - within reason.

Banned from T.V.
TV advert for Yves Saint Laurent fragrance Belle d’Opium is banned
View the Yves Saint Laurent Belle d'Opium video - click above
The Belle d'Opium advertisement features French actress Melanie Thierry playing the character 'Belle', dancing expressively to the beat of a drum, during which she points to her inner elbow and runs her finger along the inside of her forearm. The clip closes with Thierry saying: "I am your addiction, I am Belle d'Opium. The new fragrance by Yves St Laurent."
Thirteen complaints received by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) stated that the advert was irresponsible and offensive, because Thierry's actions simulated drug use.
A spokesperson for YSL Beauté expressed their disappointment about the ASA upholding the small number of complaints: "The advertisement was not intended to make any reference to drug culture, but to promote the sensuality and seductive qualities of the fragrance in keeping with the Opium brand which was launched by Yves Saint Laurent over thirty years ago."
Award-winning dancer Akram Khan, MBE, choreographed the movements and said he aimed to create an advert inspired by the concept of the removal of excessive movement, focusing on the most simple and profound things.
