The Lipstick Index

We all know that during a recession the purchase of status symbols decline dramatically.  Houses, cars, diamond rings, luxury holidays etc become periodically out of reach and we find ourselves coming to natural terms with our place in these times. Gradually our focus shifts from the negative, ‘what can’t I afford’, to the positive, ‘what can I afford’. Slowly the irrepressible human spirit opens its wings once more and gracefully lifts a downcast nation from its gloom and for the first time in a long time we look blinkingly into the sunlight and mutter the words…..‘lipstick’.  I realise that lipstick may just be the mantra for woman but a more collective motto for both men and woman does become ‘look good and feel great.’

I realise this sounds flippant and perhaps makes light of the very real plight of many people into poverty. However the truth is the desire to look good and feel great is not the preserve of those with a little extra cash. It’s a little known fact that the increase in lipstick sales is used as a financial indicator and with good reason. Lipstick is among one of the cheapest ways to instantly transform how you look and feel, it’s easy to get hold of and lasts a long time. For those who are really into using cosmetics as a financial indicator, lip-gloss sales have been shooting up even faster than lipstick all around the world.

The Mayo Spring Health and Beauty Fair is a showcase of all those health and beauty centres, products and professions that can provide us in these hard times with a glimmer of glamour. We have a great mix of exhibitors that will show you what to do and of course what not to do when it comes to looking good and feeling great. From body and mind, hair and nails to skin and style we have the experts to share their secrets, show their skills and sell their wares.

In celebration of all Mothers on this special day free entry will be given to all Mothers arriving before midday! Also everyone will be entered into the free draw to be held at the end of the day with a chance to win many exciting prizes gifted by the exhibitors. So come and enjoy the special offers and sample the very best in health and beauty at the Mayo Spring Health and Beauty Fair at the Royal Theatre and Events Centre, Castlebar on Mothers Day the 22nd of March from 10.30am till 6pm.

Tickets are available on the Door. Admission is €5.00 / Under 12s Free
