Welcome to our beauty and health news wrap, where we bring you some of the best content from our new little sister The Glow. This week, we’re talking about winter skin, getting on the poo-pipe (really) and how to do your eye make up in under two minutes. Here’s the best beauty news of the week:
Why I’ve been getting colonics for 13 years – Rachel Corbett has suffered from painful bloating since she was a kid. But colonic irrigation fixed her right up. She’s answered all our burning questions about it.
My mother told me this oil would save my skin, and she was right – Elissa Ratliff’s mother used to be a beauty therapist. It was at her knees that Elissa discovered the oil that fixed her pimples and her dryness.
Everyone did something to their hair this week. Seriously, Olivia Palermo went blonde, Catherine Martin got an adorable pixie cut, Kristen Stewart debuted a haircut that was borderline controversial… and while it’s not exactly hair related, Jennifer Lawrence showed us not even movie stars are immune to dodgy spray tans.
The magazine cover that actually looks makeup-free. Rachel McAdams on Allure, fresh, natural and with real, human under eye-crinkles. Astonishing!
The two minute eye makeup tutorial anyone can do. It is possible to give yourself a pretty dramatic smokey eye, using nothing but a bronzer from the bottom of your handbag.
My $1200 hair mistake. Grace Jennings-Edquist has a serious warning for all bottle blondes.
The new workout everyone’s talking about. Harbour dreams of being a ballerina, but can’t touch your own toes? You’re not alone. Dimity Kirkwood went to investigate Barre, the ballet inspired workout that’s right en pointe.

Has anyone done colonic irrigation in Adelaide?
I'm keen to try it out, but would like to go somewhere that comes recommended.
Though it is something done by many they can be very dangerous, introducing bacteria and serious infections from poorly maintained equipment and internal damage, also people have had permanent disabilities (removal of the bowel and colostomy bags) and died from those infections, perforated bowels, hospitalization due to electrolyte imbalances which can lead to kidney and liver failure and which have also cause heart failure, as well as with repeated use leading to a lazy bowel which cannot work without the colonic, add that to no actual evidence apart from anecdotal that they do anything useful.
So make sure you research it thoroughly, examine the place for excellent cleanliness and hygiene, and understand you are doing it at your own risk.

Don't do it! I suffer from a gastrointestinal disease and have spent way too much time talking to specialist doctors about my bowels and every single one has been horrified by the mention of colonic irrigation! It removes the natural flora in your guts and upsets the whole system which is finely tuned to help with the detoxification of your body.
If you feel like there is a problem go and see a dietician or a gastroenterologist. They can help you pinpoint what is causing any issues, usually without having to flush out a self-cleaning system!
