Tanning Parties & Eyelash Extensions to Dye for!

I recently decided to get a spray tan done for a wedding that I had to attend. I am a beginner when it comes to fake tan so I asked the advice of Katherine Martin, mobile beauty therapist ( InHouseBeauty.com) who has previously done eyelash extensions for me which I loved!

Katherine suggested the XEN tan for me and explained the procedure. I must say she was very professional and made me feel at ease and I was done in no time at all.

Katherine advised me on how best to look after my tan and I had a great time at the wedding with everyone telling me that I had gotten a great colour!  hee hee.

Katherine has recently launched a new website which showcases all of her services, which she can deliver in the comfort of your own home and she caters for Wicklow, South Dublin and North Wexford.

www.inhousebeauty.com

Why not host a Tanning Party?

Go on, you deserve it, and as hostess, your tan can be free, so spoil yourself! You could even make it a regular thing, and swap the party location, each time the host getting a free tan.
