Créme de la Mer - the absolute Cat's frikkin' Whiskers. Used sparingly and lovingly.
Lancaster SPF 30 High Protection Face Cream - my late Grandmother, Sandra, used Lancaster sun protection on every hot holiday for years, way before I came along. Her caucasian skin was amazing the entire time I was lucky enough to hang out with her.
Bobbi Brown 'Beach' Body Oil - which I want to marinade in on hot summer evenings and put in my hair.
Aveda 'Caribbean Therapy' Body Scrub - contains salt and Caribbean cane sugar and smells like a fizzy passion fruit and coconut margarita. It plays on your senses with amyris, vetiver, bay and lime which is refreshing and exhillarating. It contains oils of coconut, passion fruit and avocado which, combined with the salt and sugar leave your skin perfected, and as smoothe as biomorphic silicone.
Aveda 'Damage Remedy' Intensive Restructuring Treatment - This hair mask has the texture of silky thick caramel. It contains quinoa protein, a list of plant and wood oils and it smells natural and earthy. After washing your hair, towel dry lightly and apply this treatment from tip to root. Scrape your hair into a bun and clip. Then ... ha ha ... get some cling film and wrap your head up! Bar your eyes and nose, of course! Do your nails, catch-up on programmes, a good game of Scrabble or ANYTHING for an hour as your hair steams and nourishes it's way to perfection. Rinse well, then style as usual.
Becca Cosmetics Shimmering Skin Perfector (which has an SPF of 20+ & is loaded with anti-oxidants - those clever Aussie's know about skin and sun) in Pearl & in Gold. I would mix the two and add to a noisette of Creme de la Mer before applying to face, ears, neck and décolletage... and then mix somemore into a palm of Bobbi Brown's 'Beach' oil
Becca Cosmetics Foundation stick for quick cover-ups
Prescriptives Lash Envy Mascara in Black
Estée Lauder smokey Artists Eye Pencils - the Caviar of all eyeliner pencils. I keep waiting for them to create the solid gold sharpeners, they so deserve! 'Smoked Sapphire' is the current favourite.
Lancôme Nutrix Replenishing Treatment - a thick, intensely comforting cream for highly irritated skin, dry skin, post operative skin (!) ... it would be totaly dreamy on harsh sunburn, windburn, sea salt stingy skin, over-scrubbed and on a plane or boat. A little goes a long way too. Would last you over a year.
Lancôme Caresse Peaux Sêches body lotion - are you thinking, 'Yo! Random body lotion alert!!!' ? Here's why this body lotion makes so much sense right now: This nourishing body lotion has a 'powdery cotton' effect on skin, making it feel super soft and childlike. The genius of this 'powdery cotton' effect is amazing for getting dressed very quickly, especially if you've got skinny jeans, treggings, tights or rubber to wear, since it allows them to just glide straight on ... and off! No jumping around and stressing youself out! It also has a subtle shimmer to it and the rose scent is light and elegant. It's deeply moisturising and long lasting and comes in a fuss-free pump bottle.
Urban Decay Eyeshdow Primer Potion - This is the ultimate eyeshadow primer. I have been using this for years and it never fails and I have never found a better one. Once applied on lids and let to dry for a minute or two, your eyeshadow goes on and doesn't crease and wrinkle. It stays put and allows the pigment to go on in full build and look exactly how it does in it's packaging. Buy this in bulk if you can ... I just found out that it comes in a new XL size ... now what does that tell you?!
Tropical Shine nail files - founded in 1985 in Huntington Beach, California, these nail files not only look delicious but they are so fine. Such high quality and fantastic grade's of coarseness. Their 4-way buffers and files come in pastel neon colours with irresistable Palm Tree icon's that add a little tropical love to your beach bag/handbag/bathroom ... they make really nice gifts too!
