Lierac

1975 was the birth of Lierac. I found out just today that Mr Patrick Ales (Founder of Phyto who coincidentally I blogged yesterday took over the brand in 1979). the brand has wonderful products, great skincare for men, women and all ages and skin types.

They also have an ingredient library on there site which I absolutely love.. It informs you of what you are putting on your skin and its benefits. Check it out..

I have been trialling some products from the brand and have come across some gems..

Creme Mesolift $54

One of Lierac's best Sellers

Anti Aging Radiance Cream (great for the mums)

Rich cream!

Packed with vitamins for glowing, radiant and youthful skin.

Demaquillant Purete $24

FoamCleanser- soap free.

Great for oily skin. 

Slightly damp face and massage in to face and neck for clean and makeup free skin.

Work up to a lather and enjoy the lovely scent of jasmine.

Such a treat!

(I believe a newer product to the range)

Another great cleanser...

Demaquillant Douceur $24

Gentle and refreshing Micellar Water

This one is also pumped with Vit B5 to help lashes grow strong too!

Good for all skin types and sensitive skins!

No water needed.. Just pump a little on a cotton pad and remove makeup. 

I love this for my Makeup kit!

Phyto

Phyto started in France and has over the years spread to all corners of the world. I actually first heard of the brand in Australia.. A friend was in LOVE and that was it the name stuck1 I had to try.. I love it's effortlessly cool packaging which are all filled to the rim with magic potions for all hair types. Well respected hairstylist Mr. Patrick Ales came up with the range using highly concentrated plant based solutions which work wonders for the scalp and hair!

Try Phyto for your last minute Christmas Shopping.

My favourite picks from the brand..

Daily Hydrating Botanical Cream 

Infused with 7 natural plant extracts

Leaves you with shiny, smooth and frizz free hair

Great for fine-medium textured hair

For a silky touch apply to dry or towel dry hair.

Lightweight.

I recently spotted these products backstage shows in NY.

Volumizer Spray 125ml

This product is heat activated.. so spray at root before blow drying for best results. Not to be sprayed on dry hair. Best on towel dry hair. Also fabulous when using rollers etc for the ultimate volume boost!

Perfect for fine and limp hair..

Also for any new to the brand.. Try the Shampoos and Conditioners.. They work a treat and have different formulas out there to save any locks.

Restructuring Shampoo is great for color treated hair!

Protects hair and leave color vibrant for longer!!

Cargo

Cargo Cosmetics

The brand was born in 1996 and since then has been bringing out award winning formulas and packaging that Makeup Artists are not leaving home without. Hollywood has embraced Cargo for its genius innovations within the brand. Some truly amazing products for you all to try or buy for loved ones. Christmas gifts that won't break the bank.

Cargo has become one of my favourite brands to use on clients. Love at first sight!

My fav products you must try.

LIPGLOSS QUAD - $24.00
This is one product that helped make Cargo famous.. Makeup Artists adore this quad.. Stars love this too. Not sticky.. Has the most gorgeous gloss and shine! Cute cute cute packaging and four shades to use alone or mix to create a personal colour. 2012 LOVE

Blu Ray High Def Makeup
Natural Finish for High Def cameras. Great for TV, Film, Weddings, Photographs, Red Carpet.. A range designed so good its invisible to the eye.
I LOVE Bronzer Powder is matte (which still is hard to find in the beauty world). No shimmer makes this bronzer stand out.. Most natural finish and leaves skin glowing. Retails at $30.00

Another fav is the High Definition Mattifier (Oil Free) $28.00
Controls shine and primes the skin.. keeps oil at bay. I use this on most guys under and over foundation.

Cargo Lash Activator Night. $35.00 Cool product for those Lash fanatics (a lot of you out there! I know!)
Before you ask.. yes great for sensitive eyes. Apply nightly for better looking lashes.. Promotes healthy lashes and helps with density too.

So much more online or in store for you to know about.. Check out the products here.. http://www.cargocosmetics.com/

Looking forward for 2013 to see what else Cargo has instore for us!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Best Stocking fillers for those who love a statement lip are these temporary lip tattoos by Violent Lips! There are sooo many designs to choose from and recently introduced there is a Violent Eyes for a fun take on a glittery eye. These are applied and sealed with water and removed easily with some baby oil.
