Power green salad at Cibo. All the flowers from lunch were donated to Sweet Louise charity for women living with incurable breast cancer.

I was introduced to Queenstown based bee.yu luxury bee venom skincare at fashion week before the Hailwood show – it has active ingredients of Manuka Honey, bee venom, royal jelly, and comes in a day creme, night creme, and face masque.

It’s a good time to stock up on Redken, as you get a free Huffer metal drink bottle with the purchase of any 2 Redken products in Rodney Wayne salons.

Prep & Perfect essentials for fashion week-ready skin, thanks to Murad.

WOW! Amazing gift with purchase bag from Dermalogica, official skincare of World Of Wearable Art Awards.

Time Bomb skincare- stop the clock! Paraben free, high potency anti ageing skincare. I’ve got the night moisturiser on now and it feels richly hydrating and very luxe! Love.
