Spring brings with it a fresh new desire for a clean, pared-back beauty. Here are some of the new must-haves for Spring 2018 to come across my desk…
How pretty are these magnolias from my garden, and these luxury beauty brands?!
Not only is TVSN New Zealand celebrating 5 years in NZ with a huge variety of brands including these top-selling brands: AlphaH Liquid Gold, Algenist skincare, and PUR cosmetics, they have the most convenient way to purchase new beauty items for Spring.
Who runs the world? Oui do! OUI is the latest fragrance from Juicy Couture, inspired by women of strength and authenticity, designed for those who are not afraid to speak their mind. It is fronted by the amazing OUI squad: Devon Windsor, India Graham, Gizele Oliveira, and Luping Wang. The bottle is really different, with its duo of pink and red coloured glass.
What a beautiful red…and no animals were harmed in its creation. Remarkably Red, from New Zealand brand Antipodes. It contains Vitamins A, B1, C, and D, and nourishes lips with avocado oil as well as argan oil, evening primrose oil, and Omega 3 and 9. Beauty that’s good for you!
At Seafarers this morning with the gorgeous Erin Simpson on a beautifully sunny day, for the NZ launch of the healthy cellular function supplement, TRU Niagen.
Awesome- Coola full spectrum Sun Silk Drops SFP30 to give skin protection both outdoors and indoors protecting skin from blue screen damage from phones and computers. Protection against blue rays is a huge skincare trend now as recent research shows it leads to premature aging more pronounced than UVB and similar to UVA. Blue light rays penetrate more deeply into skin than UV rays do.
New season beauty that’s kind to the planet and to animals, from INIKA Organic.
I ♡ bees! I also love that Nelson brand Bees Brilliance loves bees, and gives away wildflower seed packets with Bees Brilliance skincare sales in September. See @beesbrilliance to buy.
Looking for a natural alternative to toothpaste? GRIN have launched their first ever strengthening toothpaste that naturally remineralises teeth.
The divine new release from Linden Leaves is Aqua Lily, with citrus and pear with marine, green florals, and lily. Perfect if you like a fresh scent that’s not too sweet. The range includes bath bombs, fragrance diffuser, and nourishing hand cream, is from Christchurch New Zealand and crueltyfree. I particularly like how environmentally friendly the packaging is; nothing is plastic sealed, when you open the box everything is just inside ready to use without plastic wrapping.
A pretty delivery from Teddy Lane salon nails to apply at home, developed by New Zealand mother and daughter Sandra and Lauren Banks. They are $24.99 a pack at teddylane.com and at Farmers.
The latest OPI nail colour collection us inspired by Peru, in the vibrant hues of its historic buildings, red beaches, and beautiful textiles.
