And yep, I am a little late, very late actually, posting the
February post, but moving house and our internet provider stuffing up so now
almost three weeks after moving in, we are still without internet in our new
house (plus for the almost three weeks prior to that while we were living in a
holiday house), explains all of that. And as I’ve had the post ready to go
live, I thought that I’d go ahead and post it, even in spite of being almost a
month late!!! So without further ado, here are the products that I have continuously
reached for during February..
Neutrogena
Rapidly Clear Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub*
RRP: $13.99 (125ml) - Available from Priceline and supermarkets
To further
help clean my skin, I have also been relying on the Palmer’s Purifying Mask a
few times a week. This mask contains kaolin clay to help draw out impurities
and purify the pores, and after leaving it on for just 10 minutes, my skin free
from all the excess oiliness that is otherwise plaguing it at the moment, and
it is left looking healthy and smooth. Yet at the same time it also contains
among others cocoa and shea butters, vitamin E and sweet almond oil, to help
moisturise and nourish the skin. Used regularly, it simply helps makes my
makeup stay put for longer without sliding off my face. It comes in a handy
tube, and has the most gorgeous scent floral scent
RRP: $9.99 (120g) - Available from Priceline and
supermarkets
With all the breakouts, this past month I’ve also been
relying on the Laura
Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer. The concealer is a unique two-toned
concealer that allows you to custom-blend your own perfect shade to match your
skin. And it easily covers redness, blemishes and age spots. And as it is so
pigmented you only need to use so little, which also means that the result is
very natural. And my combination skin also loves that it is an oil-free formula
that stays put all day. Not cheap, but worth every cent!
RRP:
$49 – Available from David Jones and Adore Beauty
I usually get my hair coloured at the salon 3 to 4
times a year. And I hate it. Well, I love the result, that’s why I keep getting
it done, but I hate actually getting it done. I have very long and thick hair,
and usually have very fine strands of hair coloured throughout my hair, which
makes it look quite natural, but it is a process that takes several hours, and
that’s what I hate. So I’ll do anything to protect the colour and prevent it
from fading too quick and that’s where the Wella SP Color Save Mask is so
brilliant. It not only helps keep my hair looking healthy but this hair mask
has been created to protect
coloured hair providing long-lasting colour brilliance and care against fading.
It also includes UV Filters to shield against sunlight damage, beeswax for
increased shine and olive leaf extract for its colour-retaining benefits, and
of course, not forgetting ingredients to moisturise and protect the hair from drying
out.
RRP: $34 - Available from hair salons
I love
multi-tasking products and this Luminosity Code BB Cream from L'Oreal is no
exception. It is not only a BB Cream that helps cover imperfections, but it
also works to helps to even out the skin tone. It contains Lumi-Gen technology,
which is designed to regulate the skin’s pigmentation so the skin is more even
day after day. The BB Cream doubles as a moisturiser and it is oil free and
extremely lightweight has well as it is non-comedogenic, so perfect for my
combination skin for wear on a hot summers’ day for a casual outing. It only
has a very light coverage, but it is enriched with pearlescent
light reflectors, so it leaves the skin with a lovely healthy glow, without
being too shimmery or making the skin look shiny. And it is perfect to be used
in combination with the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer. The
cream has a gorgeous gentle floral scent, and as a as an added bonus offers protection
from harmful UV rays.
RRP: $29.95 –Available from Priceline, variety stores, selected pharmacies,
department stores and supermarkets
Schick
Quattro Papaya & Pearl*
I have to be
completely honest and admit that I normally use an epilator to shave my legs,
although I don’t use it under my arm pits, as I’m way too much of a chicken to
do that. But moving house, I completely forgot to pack the epilator with the
stuff I was taking with me to the holiday house, and that’s where this new
shaver from Schick came in so handy. It has a whole four blades for a closer
and smoother shave, and the tip is enriched with papaya and pearl to leave the
skin feeling so incredibly soft. It comes with a handy suction cup holder for
the shower and it has a cute coral colour. And I have to admit that I do love
the smoothness of shaving my legs with a blade, especially now that it is still
warm and I generally wear skirts or dresses, - the shave just doesn’t compare
to using an epilator…. So I may just give my epilator a little holiday for a
while..
RRP: $11.99 - Available from Priceline, variety stores,
selected pharmacies, department stores and supermarkets
I love summer
and feeling the sun warm up my body, but having a baby means that this summer
I’ve been less outside and in the sun than I normally am. That means my legs
are somewhat paler than they usually are at this time of year, and that’s where
the Palmer's Natural Bronze Instant is so brilliant. It is not only an instant
tanner, it is also a self-tanner that gradually builds up a nice and natural
looking tan, so it looks like I too have spent the summer at the beach.
RRP: $9.39 (250ml) - Available from Priceline, variety
stores, selected pharmacies, department stores and supermarkets
Advanced Cosmeceuticals
Magnifibres Brush-On False Lashes*
RRP: $59.95 – Available from select stockists, or from Advanced Cosmeceuticals
FAB First
Aid Beauty Lip Therapy*
RRP: $12.95 (14.8ml) – Available from Priceline
