Exclusive treats!!!! Cry with joy over Spilt Milk this Christmas 2011 || Gift Guide from The Beauty Club - Big Value Gift Sets

Hell-llooo Summer!!!!!..HELLO????

Can anyone tell me, where did the SUN go??!?! Last week we were baking and this week we are shivering! Nevertheless, I am not giving up on the heat to bring some summer sizzle to this year’s party season, which is almost officially underway! It’s just over a month till Chrismmukah (yep, that is actually a term!) and my list is getting longer and longer and loooongggerr!!  So, I hereby give you yet another BEVVY of beauty bounty to keep you Festive and flirty, this time from the masters of beauty bargains,  The Beauty Club!!!  As many of you know, these treasures come pre-wrapped, so a word to the wise and ask them to label the items so you don’t have to undo all their hard work, figuring out what’s what!!!

And an Exclusive Treat for those ‘in the know’, as party season swings into gear and you find yourself stranded in-between your next colour and blow-dry appointment!– Finally, a Dry Shampoo that won’t leave you looking ‘ashy’!!

http://www.spiltmilk.net.au/

Once upon a time I was an avid gym bunny, sweating it out before, during and after work hours and thus testing practically every ‘dry shampoo’ there is - even the ones for ‘brunettes’ (yes, you Batiste!) leaving me looking like my Granny with grey roots!! Eeewww!  I had lost ALL faith in this type of product – that is, until I met this GOREGOUS range that actually and ACURATELY matches every possible hair colour!!
Spilt Milk's Luxurious Mineral Hair Powder will keep blonde, light and dark brunette, red-head, copper-haired, and black-haired gals looking their most fresh, re-growth free and gorgeous in between shampoos, fab blow dries, and colours.  Spilt Milk will help hide re-growth (including greys) and absorb oil from the scalp, leaving hair light, manageable, and divine. There are yummy personalised and dessert-inspired fragrances for every woman who wants to look, smell and feel like a goddess.

Sweating it out at the gym??
Spilt Milk is decadent luxury that fits in your purse – perfect for busy gals on the go.
These are THE perfect xmas gift for every lady in the land, and lasts for up to a year, even when used daily – that is good value!!
But you won’t find these online…there are only select stockists so get in quick and order yours now in time to pop it under the tree!

Happy customers??? This stuff must be good…. http://www.spiltmilk.net.au/who-loves-spilt-milk.html

LOVE  beauty.sigh.

The stuff CHRISSIE DREAAAAMMMS are made of || Shop Magical Fantastical...

Ho ho ho my pretties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are we really talking Xmas already??!?!

Yes!!! Believe it people -  there’s only 40 sleeps to go (..or at least I thinks so… I got distracted by the pretty colours…) Anyway, I for one am convinced that I have died and gone to make up heaven!! Why, you ask? If you haven’t yet had the privilege of flipping through and tagging practically EVERY bursting page of this sensational Christmas bonanza from the beauty hub that is MECCA Cosmetica, now is the time!!! I promise you will not be disappointed with 36 pages (yep, count ‘em!!!) of beauty bliss!

With inspired parfum coffrets and NARS shadow palettes for under $100, this is the stuff CHRISSIE DREAAAAMMMS are made of!!!!
Did I mention that Dyptique Parfums have released limited edition scents for the holidays and we have a plethora of sent-sational gifts to put a spring in your step and a scent in your hair!

So –
• Not sure what to give all those loved ones this year??
• More importantly - not sure what to ASK for this year???

Look no further!!!!
Dear Santa
I would be more than overjoyed with any little tid bit that you see fit to slip in my stocking this holiday season….
Please refer to the tabs on the attached catalogue noting pages 1-36 as ‘priority’ wishes.
Love from,

Back to basics || The It List

Happy Friday Beauties!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I hear your sighs of relief to the end race day perfect skin, eyes and lips….

You can now go back to your “no-makeup for me – im ‘au naturel’-baby” look – but remember, it’s not as simple as slapping on some random tinted moisturiser! Looking just perfect without actually looking PERFECT takes the right products (and technique of course), and as any good makeup aficionado knows, the best advice comes from above-

SO, although it probably doesn’t do me any favours to tout the teachings of another professional, it DOES takes one to know one – and granted that the ever-flawless Ms Charlotte Blakeney has the pleasure of VOGUE shoots (ie. VOGUE AIRBRUSHING!!!)  and having worked with THE FAMOUS of the famous, I think I’ll just shut up now and take my seat in the corner with my trusty notepad as http://www.meccacosmetica.com.au/ delivers…. Pay attention peops -  MECCA HAS SPOKEN!

As always, don’t forget to shop around!

SUMMER IS IN THE AIR:: YOUR MUST-HAVE MAKEUP STAPLES FOR THE SILLY SEASON

Some FREE advice - my SUMMER gift to you!
Tinted moisturiser is THE perfect choice for summer – I can smell it in the air! – I recommend most of the below  and always good to go and try in store before you hop online to purchase for half price!
Also, just a side note that I am now taking bookings for the silly season and 2012, so feel free to contact me for any makeup/beauty needs! Please feel free to pass on to anyone I might have left of the makeup trail or friends/family that might be interested….

Top Picks for Summer & Staple Items for your Kit:

BASE MAKEUP
 
STEP 1- Prep >> This is a NON-NEGOTIABLE if you want your makeup to last past 10am!

Primers -
• Giorgio Armani Fluid Master Primer (this brand is avail only from DJs and some products on strawberrynet.com / thebeautyclub.com.au)
• http://www.beccacosmetics.com/us/store/must-have-makeup/all/radiance-primer-brightening-and-illuminating-formula/
• http://au.strawberrynet.com/skincare/clarins/beauty-flash-balm/13018/#DETAIL
 
STEP 2 – even out skin tone

Tinted moisturisers -
• http://www.beccacosmetics.com/us/store/must-have-makeup/all/luminous-skin-colour/
• http://www.meccacosmetica.com.au/shop/Hourglass/IllusionTintedMoisturiserSPF15/

Foundation-  
• Chanel Pro Lumiere SPF15 - #30
• Nars Sheer Glow Foundation - http://www.narscosmetics.com/complexion/foundation/sheer-glow-foundation/santa-fe \ - for Summer (It is WELL worth the money as you only need a small amount and can apply with fingers (they actually recommend this method) as it warms to the skin better and gives a more natural finish. If you want to build coverage at night, just apply a little more with a brush and then press with fingers to melt it into your skin.
A cautionary word on this product, if you will – it is THE one product I see most misused!!! The trick is to USE SPARINGLY with fingers or wet sponge – apply all over and then build only where needed and remember to BLEND into jaw line and down the neck.
FYI, in summer you MUST set with powder and then spritz to stop it from transferring onto your phone/ hands etc – the Nars formulas are very light and silky (but has great pigmentation which means a little goes a lonnng way!).
In summer I would mix a little with my sunscreen to make light base and just apply it as you would a tinted moisturiser.

Face Powder -
• BECCA Loose Finishing Powder – Eggshell
Or these Mineral Powders – these starter kits are good value but you can buy the powders by themselves
• http://au.strawberrynet.com/makeup/bare-escentuals/100--pure-bareminerals-get-started/91241/#DETAIL
• http://au.strawberrynet.com/makeup/jane-iredale/starter-kit---2x-pressed-powder/104642/#DETAIL

Bronzer -
• MAC - Bronzing Powder - Refined Golden        
• Jane Iredale 'Sunbeam' Bronze/blush quad
 
EYE MAKEUP  
Eye Base –
>> Again, This is a NON-NEGOTIABLE if you want your makeup to last past 10am!
You can use any of the following cream to powder finish...
• BECCA Eye Tint - Gold / Baroque
• Laura Mercier Metallic Cream Eye Colour - Gold / Rose Gold
• MAC Paints - Gold / Bamboom
• Stilla Pots
Eyeliner –
Try a liquid eyeliner for summer and say goodbye to panda eyes!!!
   
BRUSHES & TOOLS• Foundation Brush
• Powder Brush
• Blush Brush
• Eyeshadow Brush (Flat rounded)
• Eyeshadow Blending brush (oval tapered)
• Avene or Evian Mist / Water spray / Hydrosol - to finish it all off! (This is the SECRET to skin that looks like it is naturally flawless!)
 After Work Kit - (the bare minimum you should keep in your bag at all times!)
• Avene or Evian Mist / Water spray / Hydrosol
• Foundation or concealer
• Eyeliner (at least one: MAC 'Teddy'/black)
• A Bronzer Quad (this has all your bronze/blush/highlighting needs)
• Blush brush
• Cotton Buds
• Coral / Rose pink lipstick (use as Blush too)
• Lip gloss
Optional:
• Shimmer eye powder (for a quick evening sparkle)
• Mascara

Brand new Australian Beauty site :: SENSE

This is a heads up on a brand new Australian Beauty site to add to your browser favourites!

Sense has a pretty sweet product offering with brands like Hourglass Cosmetics (only available at MECCA at present)…Unlike The Beauty Club there is no membership fee to join – granted, the discount is not AS huge – it’s 15% discount - but they have a far more exclusive product offering (they have an offshore warehouses in the US).

This means they have access to brands that Strawberrynet and The Beauty Club can’t get their hands on! With that advantage, you’re likely to snap up a few gems.

My top must have picks for a dewy, glowing complexion this Summer….

Hourglass Cosmetics 1 oz
Hourglass Cosmetics Illusion Tinted Moisturizer

Laura Mercier 8.5g/0.3oz
Metallic Creme Eye Colour - Rose Gold

Jane Iredale 0.3 fl. oz.
Jane Iredale Moonglow Bronzer
