SUCCESS, SELF LOVE & SELF CARE

Feb 2026 @ The National Beauty Academy Sunderland

LOOKS OF LOVE

Throughout February, our Academy has been filled with beautiful “Looks of Love” created by our talented students. From soft romantic glam and flirty blush tones to perfectly sculpted brows and fluttery lash lifts, our learners have truly embraced the Valentine’s season! Each look showcases the professional skills and confidence they are developing every day.

LEARNER OF THE MONTH

A BEAUTY LAUNCH TO LOVE 

Hydrating, plumping and protecting. The latest beauty must try is Vaseline’s GlutaHya Lip Serum Gloss, a hybrid lip care and gloss that’s redefining everyday lip essentials.

Launched this month, this innovative formula combines the hydration and plumping power of four types of hyaluronic acid with tripeptides and SPF 15 to keep lips moisturised, visibly fuller and protected from UV damage.

Lightweight and non sticky, it delivers a natural glossy sheen with a sheer tint – available in playful shades like cherry crush, rosy pink, juicy peach and royal plum.

SNATCHED & SCULPTED

This spring, it’s all about sculpted, depuffed, radiant skin. Trending techniques like face taping and gua shas are leading the way!

Face taping is a beauty technique used where skin tape is applied to certain areas of the face as an overnight smoothing hack to help reduce muscle movement, soften fine lines and create a more lifted look. Gua sha face massage routines support lymphatic drainage, helping to contour and define the jawline and cheekbones naturally.

Pair these with affordable blemish spot patches to calm breakouts while you sleep, and you’ve got the ultimate at home glow routine. It’s low cost, high impact skincare that delivers that fresh, snatched spring look everyone’s loving right now!
