This lady is absolutely doing many things right and the brand keeps bringing out more fabulous products and growing bigger and bigger every year. The newest range and first collection of 2013 are the new and improved.... With 11 new colours and 35% more product in each tube and gorgeous new look.

Raspberry (more evening colour, darker, vamp, modern, sophisticated)

Beach Plum (every day type of colour, gold shimmer through it for high gloss!)

Lapurete

I am lucky to be down in Sydney for a couple weeks so am excited to share with you my beauty finds down under.. Tune in over May to find out what's hot amongst these wonderful Aussies..

I've chosen an Aussie brand.. Lapurete at just 3 years old and is one of Australia's fastest growing anti ageing skin are brands on the market in Australia. Those interested in fighting ageing skin by using natural ingredients this is your go to brand! You'll find it in Myer, Priceline and loads of other retails stores across the country.

I've been trialling the Wakame starter pack which I highly recommend for those on the hunt for new skincare to try. This range has recently been launched and is best suited for 20-35yr olds to help with first signs of ageing and hydration. Wakame Seaweed is an ancient Japanese beauty love which works wonders for your skin (known as the 'beauty preserver' in Japan).

My skin has loved the three step system! It's easy.. Leaves your skin truly hydrated, supple and youthful, while being a great pick for sensitive skin. 

Starter pack retails for $49.90 (this is great way to trial the range of products before forking out cash  for full size products..or great travel size products, gifts etc.. Includes the 3 step system plus a lush soft cloth for gentle cleansing.

Step 1. Hydrating Foam Cleanser and Toner

Removes Makeup, Dirt, cleans face and tones all in one! Leaves you feeling fresh and squeaky clean! 

Step 2. Multi Active Eye Repair

I used this morning and night to totally reap the benefits. This Eye Creme wakes me up and calms my under eye bags. LOVE

Step 3. Protect and Repair Lotion

Last and final step.. Again I like using this morning and night for the ultimate hydration through the night and day. Overtime you should notice smoother skin, taut skin and overall repair.

Model Co

Way back when I left Sydney almost 7 years ago on adventures abroad.. ModelCo was just making a good stamp in Australia.. All the girls were carrying around something pink, somthing ModelCo! I remember I was obsessed with there mascaras, my friends adored there self tanning products, and still do!! My makeup teachers were praising the brand and seems the hype is still strong. They truly are at the forefront of the cosmetics world.. And the perfect brand to review on my Aussie month of beauty buzz Down Under. 

What I love about the brand.. Apart from the products being great textures, colours, natural tanning.. They are also very smart and easy to use. The packaging is so clever, they have lots of dual purpose products for example a bullet with lipstick and gloss, or pencils with a lid as a sharpener, saves on cost and space in your purse.

Here are my ultimate favourite ModelCo picks!

ModelCo Eyeshadow Trio (palette 08 smokey eye)
Only $26.00 for 3 eye shadows. In this particular palette you get a highlighter, charcoal and a black colour all with a little shimmer. Easy to blend. Comes with a brush! Skinny enough to take with you. Perfect for day and night! Wear the three colours alone or blend a soft sultry eye by mixing all three.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Lots of other trio's to choose from.

Next up..
Party Proof Cream Lipstick in Flirt
This is new to the line and sells for $16.95
Long lasting lipstick with built in Mirror!! Yes with built in Mirror! Best accessory ever.. The colour flirt is a lolly pink and the lipstick is super creamy. long lasting but not drying.
Long lasting and Party Proof! Actually looking at my picks (I have chosen 4) they are all party proof!

Shimmer Airbrush Illuminiser
Spray on hair, face, body, legs for a highlighting shimmer to leave you looking radiant in just one spritz. This one is popular among the celebs as they can be red carpet ready in a flash. Smells yummy and even contains Vitamin E. This is the best way to glam up an outfit or hair do. My brides love this too.

Ok last but certainly not least..
Cheek and Lip Tint in Rosy Red
Coolest packaging, this makes for the perfect present and won't break the bank either because a little REALLY goes a long way. Sells at $34.00
Lightweight and transparent, easy to smooth on skin for natural rosy cheeks or lip stain.
Start with a wash and build up if you wish for a stronger colour, layers well.

'Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi'

Nivea

Hi all.. you should all know by now I am in Oz and loving being in my hometown Sydney. This month is Beauty Buzz from Down Under. Although Nivea is a German brand and a huge global company sold across the world, I believe Australians (well at least in my eyes) are the biggest fans! We Are!! I'm sure if you step inside every household in Australia and there will be some form of Nivea laying around, lip balm, deodorant, face cream, lotion..! I remember the scent of the body lotion I used to slather on growing up.. The blue logo on all the products. Well over the years the brand has grown, products improved, packaging altered and always new products to try.

My current favs from Nivea..

Nivea Lip Butters $5.19

You do have the option to go for in unscented which I would stick in my kit to suit all clients.. But for personal use.. I love the 'Caramel Cream', smells like heaven and melts on your lips. These bad boys have been on the shelves for a couple months only and are proving to be oh so popular.

Nourishing! Glossy! Dry lips best friend!

Hydrating and conditioning packed with Almond Oil, Vit E and the ever famous Shea Butter.

From the 'Pure and Natural Range'

Facial Cleansing Wipes 

These I carry in my bag for a pick me up.

Contain Argan Oil and Aloe Vera (perhaps two of my all time favourite beauty ingredients)

Gentle wipes, sensitive enough around eyes

Of course removes Makeup and grime while leaving your skin smooth and fresh.

These will be coming on board the A380 back to LA.
There is a Soothing Day Cream also in this range and it is so fab for dry skin! 

From the 'Stress Protect' range 

Anti Perspirant Deodrant (men's and women's available)

Depending on whether you prefer roll on or aerosol, prices range between $3.78-6.59

Smells fresh, sweet, I LOVE THE SCENT.. And it works to keep sweat at bay.

Try this Nivea range next time reaching for a new Deodrant.

ZOYA summer colours

Zoya have done it again! It was just so hard to narrow it down, but I tried to find my personal fav 8 colours that are hitting the streets this summer. Some are high shine foil metallic and other half are creamy, opaque cool tones and all are super duper glossy which I love. The best thing about freshly painted nails for me is the gloss, I love a fresh coat of polish. They sell for $8 a pop or you can get the stunning or irresistible sampler of 6 amazing colours for $48.

Expect shine and summer brights and long lasting, chip free polish at reasonable prices.

Please note my camera or lighting has slightly altered the colours so please do check online there website if keen for summer trends and true color swatches.
