I live in a world of beauty products, skin care and make-up. I have been very fortune (and unfortunate at times) to be able to trial, sample and play with SO many products over my time in the beauty industry.
I now want to share with you my top 10 - if I was on a deserted island this would be my must haves!
Li-Lash
I swear by this product! This serum is what enable my lashes to grow to extreme lengthens and be lushes and thick. I have been using this product for the past 8 years and to be complete honest with you I can't remember the exact length of my natural 'un-Li-Lashes' lash but this product has made they lash grow to exception lengths.
Bestow Beauty Oil Plus
I take this high omega oil daily in my morning smoothie to ensure that my skin stays hydrated, plump and glowing whilst stopping me getting black heads and pimples. Bestow Beauty Oil a liquid format of essential fatty acids (EFAs / Omegas), which are essential for nearly all cell functions in the skin. I personally find if I don't take this oil my skin is blocked and congested within a matter of days!
Pure Fiji Body Oil
I could be lazy when it comes to moisturizing all my body if it wasn't for this product! Applied directly after showering prior to towel drying, it means that moisturising is done even before I step out for the shower. Like all Pure Fiji products it comes in a range of amazing flavours, with my favourites being; Coconut in Winter and Coconut Lime Blossom in Summer.
Coola Primer and SPF 30
This is a new product that I have recently be trialling and LOVE! It is a combined primer and sunscreen in one product. I always wear sunscreen every single day of the year regardless of that fact I am inside 99% of the day as sunscreen is the cheapest anti-ageing product out there (sun is NZ biggest ager) I also wear a primer daily following my sunscreen but prior to my foundation as a primer give a great base for my foundation and ensures that the make up lasts the full day. I found that this product by been multi-tasking saved time, felt beautiful and soft on and kept my make up look fresh all day, whilst protecting me from the sun.
Sungoddess Bronzer
I am a bronzer girl, and 'Sun Goddess' is my all time favourite! I always apply bronzer in place of blusher when wear make up and often on make up free days will still apply a little bronzer to my cheeks! With bronzer giving a nice golden glow (rather than pink or orange) I found it softer, more natural and MUCH easier to apply!
Age-Defying Serum
I am all about anti-ageing so naturally a age-defying serum is going to appear on this list!
I play around with a range of serums / concentrates and treatment lotions depending on the seasons and how my skin is but this serum is one of my all time favs! Targeting hydration via hyaluronic acid and has a potent herbal blend which have stimulating, protecting and revitalising properties. I apply this directly after soaking both morning and night.
Curtis Collection VX Mascara
As you know a good mascara is key and I personal think this one is better than good! It is all starts with the brush, this brush is thick and dense so its gets as much mascara as possible onto the lashes but also separates out my lashes nicely. Plus it is water resistant, so comes off easy with cleanser but not during the day!
Dermaviduals Eye Gel Plus
"The eye area is the first area to show signs of ageing due to the skin been 3 times thinner than else where on the face and there been no natural oil glands. Your face moisturiser is unable to hydrate the skin around the delicate eye area." - It is because of this that eye gel appears on my top picks. I apply eye gel to my eye area both morning and night to fight the signs of ageing, reduce wrinkles and ensure that the skin around the eye area is hydrated. This product also contains cooling properties (cucumber) so I store my in the fridge so that when it is applied it cools and reduces puffiness (especially in the morning).
Foundation Brush
I know this isn't a product but I just had to include it as it truely is an amazing tool that I could not live without! Foundation brushes ensure that the foundation is blended in evenly and without leaving visible finger-tip marks. I found that you can build and control exact how much foundation you apply with a brush and also ensure that you don't get lines at either the jaw or hair line.
J-Bronze Rapid Tan
The key word here is rapid, this tan works in 1 hour and you can control exactly how dark you go!
I don't have time to wait 5 hours + for a tan to develop, therefore with this one I can apply it, 1 hour later wash the indicator colour off (although I don't have to do this as it is a nice bronze colour also) and boom I am tanned and ready to go! This product is a mouse format which is applied to the body using a mitt, you are able to select which areas to apply to (arms/legs/chest or whole body ect) and is easy to apply giving a streak-free finish.
Also because it is violet based there is no chance of it going orange!
I could keep going with products that I love and must have, if I was on a deserted island I would require a rather large toilette bag!!
All of the products above La Beauté does retail...why? Because naturally I would not recommend to you products that I don't love, trust and believe in.
