Carter Beauty Blackrock - Recession Beauty Sussed
Posted: April 6, 2010 at 9:52 pm | Tags: Carter Beauty, Carter Beauty Blackrock, Marissa Carter, Spray Tan Blackrock, Spring Pamper Package, Vita Liberata, X Factor TanIf there is someone who has the beauty industry sussed during the recession it’s Marissa Carter of Carter Beauty. Not only has Marissa opened a second beauty salon in Blackrock over the past 12 months she is keeping the clientel coming back by running some very special offers.
I stopped by last week to check out their €15 Full Body Spray tan offer. I thought it was too good to be true when I drove by & saw the offer in the window.
The tan used is Vita Liberata, famed as the fake tan used in The X Factor. It comes in a Light, Medium & Dark. I am quite sallow skinned & I opted for medium which was certainly dark enough, any darker and I’ve have been tangoed!
The results the next day were perfect and the odour wasn’t too strong either. I would definitely recommend it.It seems the offer is here to stay, it was orginally to expire on end of March however a notice on their website says it’s here till the end of August… I know where I’ll be heading for my Summer glow this year.
My only small critisim would be the actual room the tanning takes place which has white walls and they are not really suitable because of the spray back of the tan. Following my blog post Marissa Carter has informed me the room will shortly be re-decorated with some tiles which will certainly fix this issue.

While I was there I also noticed a special offer for what sounds like the most fabulous pamper package.
Spring Pamper Package includes:
- Lavender Aromatherapy Facial
- Mango & Papaya Back Scrub
- Hot Stone Muscle Melt Back Massage
- Firming Lavender & Collagen Body Wrap
- Soothing Indian Head Massage
It would usually set you back a whopping €350 and now until 30/5/2010 is an unbeatable €99!!! It would take approx 2hrs to complete.
Carter Beauty is located at 40 Main St, Blackrock, Co. Dublin. For appointments call, 01 210 3624.
I hoping to book in for the package soon so might see you there
