ModelCo
- Daily Face
This is a little tube of wonders that I
cannot rave enough about. The broad-spectrum wonder is cruelty free and
contains no PEGs, sulfates, parabens, chemicals or mineral oils. It is slightly
tinted in an extremely flattering shade, is wonderful at stopping the usual oil
slick that sunscreen leaves on your face. Oh and it is also SPF50+. ModelCo Daily Face
shields against both UVA and UVB rays and is very lightweight, unlike most
sunscreens, which means it is also perfect to wear under makeup because it is
just a perfect little multitasking gem. If I could pinch $25 out of everyone’s
wallets just to buy them a tube of it I would. Great Australian brand with a
great product ALL Aussies should be using to protect themselves from the
dangerous sun.
*This is also a friendly reminder to go get your skin checked
out by a proper dermatologist with a specialty in skin cancers before these
harsh summer rays hit. None of this going to a GP business, they are hopeless
and not trained to see early developing melanomas. Go get yourself to a clinic
stat! My personal preference is Sun Patrol Skin Cancer Clinic in Berwick, but
if that is too far away for you, Google will gladly help you out!
Brazilian Butterfly - Delicate Body Lotion
As a keen waxer this lotion is my saviour against nasties like ingrown hairs. It also soothes dry skin, cuts and is infused with aloe vera and witch hazel to protect against waxing bumps. Personally I also find that it helps with the redness and swelling you experience after an appointment and it only needs to be applied once a day. There is no downside to this lovely lotion as it is non greasy and also able to be used by gals and guys who are undergoing laser hair removal. I haven't looked back since my waxer Steph recommended it to me months ago, she is such a gem!

Stila - One Step Correct
I loved my Napoleon Perdis primers but they
betrayed me. After months of figuring out why I’m suddenly breaking out and
discovering it must be a product I’m using, unfortunately I narrowed it down to
my beloved primer. It’s ok, I rehomed it in a friends makeup bag, as she is one
of those crazy witchcraft people who only get one pimple every 3 years. But
much like the Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey Newlywed years (#neverforget) I
quickly moved on. Oh boy am I glad I did because I stumbled onto this beaut
when taking a leisurely stroll through Mecca.
Instead of using multiple primers to
address multiple skin concerns this little gem does it all in one go for you.
The primer consists of three individual primers, which are Green to reduce
redness and conceal blemishes, Lavender to target sallow undertones and Peach
to brighten and illuminate. When applied to skin it has a soothing and cooling
feeling that feels so divine. It doesn’t feel heavy on your skin, yet it
completely smoothes over pores and fine lines giving you a beautiful glowy and
smooth complexion. This does absolute
wonders for your skin and even if the Napoleon Perdis primers didn’t make me
break out like the before photo of a Proactiv ad, I would still prefer the
Stila primer.

Origins - GinZing Energy Boosting
Moisturiser
You know how beauty advertising loves to
splash around crazy words and promises in regards to products? I remember one L’Oreal
ad where it promised an anti ageing product would change your DNA at some point.
Don’t quote me on that though. If there were ever a product to attach crazy
life changing advertising claims to, it would be this one. This just does
wonders for your skin and is pretty much the best moisturiser I have ever used.
For starters, it has the most insanely wonderful, divine, delicious citrus
smell! If I could attach a jar of this to my face, like a food bag to a mule, I
would. I wouldn’t even care about the looks I’d get in public because that is
how much I’m obsessed with the smell of this. Once applied to your skin it is so lightweight
and refreshing and just perks up your skin.
Your complexion looks dewy and healthy and like you just stepped out of
bikram yoga. But without the dehydration, tomato faced redness and hint of
regret. It is also the perfect moisturiser to layer makeup products over and is
just an all round A+.
DeLorenzo – Essential Treatments Oil
Balance
DeLorenzo is also one of those excellent
brands with a focus on earth friendliness by using natural ingredients,
recyclable materials and excluding animal testing. Their ‘Oil Balance’ is
marketed as a “pre-shampoo treatment that works to nourish dry and damaged
hair” and I was eager to give this a go as my locks had been through the ringer a
bit with too much heat styling. With most hair treatments I’ve tried I notice a
difference instantly, but with this one I didn’t; and if anything my hair felt
heavier and looked lackluster. This is to be sprayed onto dry hair pre shower
and left to its own devices. Just a tip; if you do want to try it, spray it in
the shower because the first time I used it by entire bathroom was covered in a thin layer of oil. The reasons I did not like this was because it was messy to use (by leaving a crime scene in my bathroom) , the smell was actually super foul and it did
not deliver results. Sounded so great on paper but unfortunately like many
things did not translate. If this were Tinder, I would definitely be swiping
left.
