The rest, beauty lovers, is up to you.
Flower Shimmer & Strobe Highlighting Palette, $9.99.
This gorgeous soft-focus silky powder delivers a multi-dimensional radiance for a truly luminous complexion. Not convinced? Check out any pic of the very lovely Drew Barrymore. This is her beauty brand and she wears it 24-7. Does she look young? Heck yes she does.
Oil Garden Tranquil & Calm Blend, $29.99.
The calming effects of Lavender, Rose Geranium, Bergamot and Rosewood have long been used as natural sedatives during times of stress to help relieve nervous tension, headaches, fatigue and mild anxiety, providing a sense of calm and comfort. Add a few drops to your bath or your humidifier and breath deep. Relaxing and letting stress go will give your skin a fresh glow and will even ease some frown lines.
Dr Dennis Gross SpectraLite EyeCare LED Device, $233.
The therapeutic light is proven to stimulate the natural production of collagen, with 72 LEDs targeting signs of ageing around the eyes. Designed for three minutes a day use, fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles are reduced, with skin firmer and more elasticised for long term youthful results. Really. Sure, it’s kind of sci-fi but it does seem to work.
Patchology Kiss Me Lip Hydrating Kit, $22.
Designed to smooth, soften and hydrate lips, the Flashpatch 5 Minute Lip Gels are infused with peptides to soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles, along with niacinamide to hydrate the skin and prevent moisture loss. This stuff is genius – especially if you have those crazy little fine lines at the edges of your lips or you’re a smoker.
