Props to all those beauty cupboards out there. Bravo, thank you for making me look somewhat human each morning.
This post is dedicated to all those little gems who make life as a female a little bit easier.
In terms of bases, let's start with first. First base equals fresh skin. And for this I love Sukin. The foaming cleanser, moisturiser, night cream and toner all take pride of place in my bathroom cupboard. They aren't harsh on skin and free from all those nasties that are responsible for sensitive skin and breakouts. You want alcohol, sulphate and parabens? Forget it, you're barking up the wrong tree. Sukin organics are just that- organic and this is why they love my skin. And my skin loves them. The Australian brand also offers a sensitive range and their rose hip oil should be a prerequisite in your nightly beauty routine. Have a look at their affordable range here http://www.sukinorganics.com/. Your skin will love you forever and reward you by staying plump, fresh, clear and very well behaved.
Second on my list of cant-live-withouts is Loreal Paris Lumi Magique foundation. I recently switched foundations and Loreal's newest wonder has become a fast favourite. It promises flawless skin using liquid light technology and while I am not sure I am being 'lit from within' my skin sure does look nice after a meeting with Lumi Magique. The brand offers a range suitable for most skin tones and rose sand matches mine perfectly. (In case you were wondering, which I know you were).
Onto third base now. My, my isn't this a quickie. Short and sweet, I like your style. But what shouldn't be short is your lashes, the eyes are window to the soul so spending a little extra effort on your lashes is worthwhile. I have recently become addicted to eyelash extensions (your local beautician should be able to help you out for around $80 first visit. In-fills are around $45 a pop). Not to be confused with false lashes, eye lash extensions are attached individually (and somewhat painstakingly) to each individual lash. The end result? Natural, full and long lashes. These little beauties will cut down your getting ready time by half. Smudged mascara? A thing of the past. "As much as I love you mascara, I just don't need you in my life anymore. I've met someone else who fulfils my needs." This is what you will say. And if you do happen to pop a little on = super-dooper-supermodel lashes there you go making everybody stare. NB- Oil free cleansers are best for eyelash extensions (the oil in regular make-up removers loosens the glue), Neutrogena does a great oil-free eye make-up remover.
And there you have it- my BPF's.
N.B- This is only a short list, I could go on for days and days on essential beauty prods. But I won't. You're welcome.
