Expert help! Have a one-to-one session with a top make-up artist, who'll show you how to apply your make-up like a pro and pass on a few tricks of the trade. You never know, she might even let slip a bit of celeb gossip. Bring your own make-up bag to be shown how to make the most of your favorite stuff (and maybe give you the confidence to ditch the lippy that's been lurking in there since forever). If there's a new look that you really like, bring along a photo and your expert will show you how it's done. And don't worry about forgetting it all in the time it takes to say 'waterproof mascara' - after the session some make up schools will even send a personalized make-up profile with a drawing of your made-up face and a list of all the products used. All of them also give you a little goody bag of skincare or make-up to take home. 31/03/2008 3:25:38 PM http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Pampering/Make-Up_Lesson.jsp http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Pampering/Fashion/Styling_Tips_and_Pamper_with_Patrick_Swan.jsp With over 30 years of experience in the business, fashion and beauty guru Patrick Swan will guide you towards choosing the right colors and will show you how to make the best of parts of your body.

You'll begin with a yoga class, aimed at energizing and strengthening the body while relaxing the mind. Then, after a consultation with your expert therapist, you'll start your detox with a relaxing holistic massage. This is followed by a rebalancing treatment, either Reiki, reflexology, or Indian head massage - all of which are soothing and are believed to channel positive energy in the body. The exact combination will be decided on the day, depending on your particular needs and the availability of therapists. Your experience ends with a 30-minute water-based treatment on your feet, which stimulates self-detoxification and allows the body to restore its natural healing levels. Whether or not you're into chakras and chi energy, this is a fantastic way to relax and focus on yourself. 31/03/2008 3:25:52 PM http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Pampering/Relax_and_Rebalance_Day.jsp http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Pampering/The_Ultimate_Wet_Shave.jsp Relax and enjoy a traditional cut-throat shave in a luxury gentleman's salon.

Refreshments are included and some of these state-of-the-art salons include internet access, playstations and plasma walls. 31/03/2008 3:25:57 PM http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Pampering/The_Ultimate_Wet_Shave.jsp http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Pampering/Flotation_Tank_Experience.jsp We know that spending an hour in a tank of water might sound at first like a David Blaine-style stunt - but in fact this experience is about total relaxation. You'll lie in a quiet, darkened room in a warm solution of Epsom salts, about 25.4 centimeters deep and so dense that you'll float effortlessly (no need to be able to swim!). Epsom salts are made from naturally occurring minerals and have long been renowned for their health and beauty benefits, including easing stress and soothing muscles. Gentle music will play to help you wind down, and you'll drift into a near-meditative state of complete calm. Afterwards you can take a refreshing shower before returning to the outside world feeling utterly chilled out. 31/03/2008 3:26:00 PM http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Pampering/Flotation_Tank_Experience.jsp http://www.e-gulfbank.com/eng/personal/redExperiences/Pampering/Introduction_to_Yoga.jsp Yoga is a great way to relax and stay in shape, but where do you start when you don't know your Hatha from your Ashtanga?
