October Favourites

October Favourites

I have decided to do a monthly post and a video to share my favourite beauty, skin and hair care products. I am starting with my October Favourites which I am afraid is a bit late but last month was a bit manic and my video took so long to upload! The video is quite long, as I am sharing quite a few products which I have been trying.

Modern Muse by Estee Lauder

Modern-Muse-by-Estee-Lauder

As I may have mentioned before one of my favourite types of events to attend, are beauty events, especially if it is for a brand I am not familiar with! I find this is a great way to find out more about products, which I may not necessarily have tried before. One such event I attended recently was hosted by Estee Lauder, at the elegant Mount Nelson Hotel.

Before we got into the nitty-gritty of the Estee Lauder makeup products, we were introduced to Lauders recently launched fragrance Modern Muse, which has fast become my favourite scent for 2013!

The beautiful Lulu Ndevu, from Estee Lauder first explained the philosophy behind their new fragrance. Personally I love the strap line of Modern Muse – “Be an Inspiration” – which ties in so amazingly with my own philosophy, as a modern woman!

Everyday Makeup Essentials

I know everyone has there own set makeup routine and products which they love but I thought I would share some of my Everyday Makeup Essentials with you.

Everyday-Makeup-Essentials

As some of you may know I have been struggling with pigmentation over the past few years! Unlike most women who get pigmentation during their pregnancies, mine only arrived after I had my kids. I used to be one of the lucky ones, who could get away without wearing any foundation at all! Well those days have passed and like most challenges in life you can either deal with it and accept it or let it ruin your life. So deal with it we must 🙂

After searching for foundations and concealers for a while now and buying so many products which do not work, I eventually enlisted the help of professional makeup artist Kirsten Murphy Rossiter(yes my sister-in-law – lucky me)! She helped me find the best products for my skin type and more importantly the correct colours for my skin-tone.

The most important thing for me is that I don’t want to look like I have too much foundation on, that “caked on” effect, especially for everyday wear. I need medium buildable coverage, which looks as natural as possible! Having combination skin I also need to stay away from products which will leave me looking like an oil-slick by lunch time.

Woolworths Re-launches the WBeauty Skincare Range

WBeauty Skincare Range

WBeauty Skincare Range

Woolworths recently re-launched the WBeauty Skincare Range and I was invited to the official re-launch at the V&A Waterfront store. I had not yet seen the newly released product range and was suitable impressed, especially by the lovely new packaging!

WBeauty Re-launch

At Woolworths, we’re passionate about innovation, and are always working to offer our customers the latest in beauty technology. When it comes to skincare, we have extended the WBeauty range to offer a range of newly formulated skincare products that leave the skin looking radiant and feeling great. ~ Woolworths

The new beauty range from Woolworths, includes a selection of cleansers and toners to suit all skin types. These can be combined with the new variety of moisturisers, which are suitable for day and night use, as well as eye creams to target age specific skin concerns. The advantage of this wide range of products, is that you can create a bespoke skincare regime, particular to your skin type, choosing products from across the range.

The new range caters to each step of your skincare routine and is suitable for all skin types. There is a comprehensive cleansing range, where you can choose from a daily gel cleanser, a daily cream cleanser, a daily foaming cleanser, an exfoliating cleanser and either eye make up remover liquid or lotion. For toning your skin there is a daily cleansing toner for normal or combination skin and daily cleansing toner for sensitive skin.

WBeauty Moisturisers

When it comes to moisturising your skin Woolworths have created age specific ranges, which can be easily identified by the different coloured packaging. The ranges are “Radiance”, “Ageless” or “Replenish” and are available in day cream, night cream and eye cream.

There are also four new serums available, specially formulated to treat specific skin ailments. The Anti-ageing Serum, Hydrating Serum, Even Tone Serum, and Brightening Serum can be used in conjunction with any of the products in the range.

WBeauty products are developed in accordance with Woolworths Good Beauty Principles. This means that we avoid the use of mineral oils and harsh petrochemical ingredients and choose safe, gentle ingredients instead. Each product has been through a rigorous safety assessment and has not been tested on animals, earning us the approval of Beauty Without Cruelty. ~ Woolworths

We received a fabulous goodie bag, to take home with us, at the launch! It contained a wide range of the new WBeauty products, which was amazing as I have been looking for a new skincare range to use.

I am loving the cleansing range, which both my hubby and I are trying. I received two of the new day creams and have decided to try the “Radiance” range of moisturisers first, as well as the Brightening Serum. I will do a proper review post of the different products, so that you can find out more about the individual products.

Another great addition to their extensive WBeauty range is the introduction of tester-sized products, so that you can try the individual products before you buy the full size item!

To find out more about the new WBeauty range either visit a Woolworths store near you or pop over to their website by clicking here.
