Beauty notes

My role at work has diversified somewhat so I'm currently working on a big beauty project. It's brilliant fun - once you get over the weirdness of spending 45 minutes talking about dry hair treatments. Beauty folk seem a little less intense than their fashion siblings and it's amazing realising just how much effort goes into the tiniest detail - like the 2,000 plus fake talons a nail specialist made for the McQueen show only to see them ripped off as the girls came in from 2 minutes on the catwalk. Plus, come on, what girl wouldn't love to be sent home with a bag of creams, glosses and gels to try out? But it's also surprising what challenges it has thrown up for me. I spent a good two minutes today figuring out what was the right verb to use to formally describe static on hair. (I went for 'attracting' in the end?!).
