Bobbi Brown Essentials

Bobbi Brown Essentials

My Bobbi Brown essentials; Brow Pencil in Blonde and Rose Shimmer Brick. If you’re like me and have naturally lighter brows, the last thing you want to do is cover them in a dark brow pencil, which is why I love the lighter shade of the Bobbi Brown Brow Pencil in Blonde.

I use the Rose Shimmer Brick as both a highlighter under my brow and cheekbones or as a blusher. Two for the price of one! Shop both by visiting the Bobbi Brown website here.

Byredo Hair Perfume

Byredo Hair Perfume

Finally, hair doesn’t have to smell like Passiona any longer, thanks to a new collection of Byredo Hair Perfume. Byredo have taken their cult favourite fragrances, Gypsy Water, Blanche and Bal d’Afrique and created chic hair scents that’ll disguise the smell of super-market-bought dry shampoo. Smelling like Byredo is almost good, if not better, than actually having clean hair anyway!

The range of Byredo Hair Perfume will be available to purchase at Mecca from the 29th of June. Visit their website here.

GHD Platinum Hair Straightner

GHD Platinum

At the beginning of April I was luckily enough to attend the launch of the new GHD Platinum; An innovative new styler from GHD which promises ultimate results. Healthier, stronger and shinier hair.

As someone who quite literally straightens their hair every single day, it’s so important that the straightener I use doesn’t compromise the health of my hair. I can say without a doubt, that this is by far the best hair straightener I’ve ever used. From the first time I tried it at home, my hair was instantly shiner and softer. It’s now been a little over a month since I started using it and my hair is much healthier.

If you asked me if it was worth upgrading, even though it’s a little more expensive than a regular straightener ( RRP $315 ) I wouldn’t hesitate telling you it’s a worth while investment. The GHD Platinum will available to purchase from Mid May at Mecca Maxima, Kit Stores and online here.

MBFWA starts today so I thought I’d take a moment to run through my MBFWA beauty essentials and the items I’ll be packing in my bag with me this week. As I’ll be going back and forth from work there won’t be any need to have a huge bag. I’ll just have my every day make-up essentials.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

Benefit is known for a few things. Benetint lip and cheek stain, Hoola bronzer and, of course, They’re Real! Mascara. In fact, it seems like every mascara Benefit puts out demands a cult following. I was therefore very eager to try out the brand’s latest beauty revelation: the new Benefit Roller Lash Mascara. It’s a mascara that claims to lift and curl lashes, eliminating the need for a lash curler.

My lashes aren’t very long and they aren’t very thick either, so I rely heavily on my lash curler to get me flirty, curled lashes. When applying RollerLash, you instantly feel the hooks. It’s hard to describe, but they really do catch every lash and I noticed a lift from my first application. The best thing is you only need just one coat as well to achieve a perfect look, not only curled lashes but thick as well.
