Flipside Friday Round Up

Welcome back to another weekly round up!

This week got off to a flying start as CATRICE picked up a fabulous feature in The Guardian. Beauty Editor Sali Hughes included the Lip Cushion Protecting Lip Balm in her pick of the best affordable beauty buys for the summertime! Impressed with its hydrating formula, she named the £3.95 treat “a luxurious-feeling, all-natural balm to keep lips soft and any dry patches moist”.

BAAPS also picked up plenty of mentions in the press this week. As cosmetic surgery continues to rise in line with the easing of lockdown restrictions, the organisation’s call for caution featured on Suffolk Business, Suffolk Wire and South East Connected.

BAAPS “issued a warning to consumers to check the credentials of their practitioner before going ahead with any treatments. Along with a boom in demand for aesthetic procedures, there have been worrying reports of rising numbers of botched treatments. Badly executed aesthetic treatments are most often linked to unaccredited and poorly trained practitioners. This is why BAAPS is warning consumers to check they use only fully qualified, accredited and professionally insured providers.”
