My beauty obsessions tend to change according to the season or what beauty concerns I might have at any given time. However lately there are a few things that I’ve been really loving and have been using consistently. Usually it’s for one of three reasons: it’s a time saver, it delivers results or I just like how easy it is to use. So, here’s what’s currently on high rotation or simply high at the top of my ‘loves’ list when it comes to my beauty routine.
Pico laser treatment
I tried the Pico Laser treatment for a few sun spots on my face and was really happy with results. I did this instead of IPL which I’ve had a few times before and I think it had better results. It’s not painful and it’s super quick. The downside however is that the down time is worse. The pigment was really dark for nearly a week.
Winged Cat Eye
I shared this tutorial a few weeks back and I have to say, the love affair is still going strong. I love a winged cat eye as a go-to look for an event as it’s so easy to do and it really makes a big impact. I use this brown eyeliner to create a wing effect as I find it achieves a precise finish and is foolproof to use.
Mermade Blow Dry Brush
Having used a round brush to blow dry my hair before, I didn’t realise just how much simpler life would be if I just used a 2-in-1 product. Consider me a convert because the Mermade Hair Blow Dry Brush is a mainstay in my hair routine. It’s so easy to get a silky finish and I can blow dry and style my hair in minutes. It’s also lightweight so it’s easy to manoeuvre and you don’t get that dead arm effect that you get with blow drying your hair with a brush.
O.P.I Nail Polish in Bubble Bath
Winter is all about dark, moody colours as far as my nail polish choices go but I tend to do a seasonal shift once the warmer weather arrives. I’ve started to get back into nude nails for summer and this classic shade has always been a favourite of mine (I’m wearing it above). It’s a great natural hue with a slight pink tinge to it and it works well against a fake tan. I’ll be wearing it non-stop over the coming months.
Ardell Naked Extensions
Putting on fake lashes can be a bit tricky, particularly when you’re dealing with a full set but these individual lashes by Ardell are so good. They’re easy to put on and adding just a few on the edge of the eye can make a big impact.
Bronzalicious tan
With temperatures rising, it’s spray tan time again. I love a good spray tan once the warm weather hits and I get mine done locally at a salon called Bronzalicious in Sydney’s Neutral Bay. I always get a really nice natural effect and it lasts for awhile. I do DIY too and when I do, I use St Tropez Self Tan Luxe Tan Tonic Drops for my face and the St Tropez Self Tan Express Tanning Bronzing Mousse on my body.
