Summer Beauty Must-Haves
SUMMER SKIN CALLS FOR A LESS-IS-MORE APPROACH.
Bare, sun-kissed skin is meant to glow, highlighted only with bronzer, embellished only with flashes of colour, covered only with SPF.
Heavy creams, full-coverage foundations and are replaced with lightweight moisturisers, sun protection.
Bright pops of peach and coral replace dark red lips. Along with summer's leg-baring outfits and pedicure flaunting sandals, consider these products to be your summer essentials during the warmer days in New Zealand.
SERIOUS SUN PROTECTION
The best beauty secret is and always will be sunscreen. It's your best defense against fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots and sun damage. This SPF50 is perfect for everyone, even the sensitive skin souls.

THE LASH MAXIMIZER
Mascara is a definite desert island product. A face just isn't done without mascara. I love the rich carbon black of this product and the fullness and definition it gives.

THE LIP TO CONSIDER
Not too bold, not too light but has to be fresh and feel like summer captured in makeup. The texture is great for the summer months, like lipstick without stickiness.
