While the outside temperatures may be dropping, yours doesn’t have to. Stay hot with these up-to-the-minute beauty and wellbeing trends which will help you traverse the awkward in-betweeny-ness of autumn, and emerge on the other side, fresh faced, fit and ready to embrace the cosy delights of winter! MAKEUP
NAILS
BODY
BB Cream. B-what now? One of the biggest crazes to storm the beauty world over the past couple of months is that of the BB cream. Known also as ‘blemish balm’, the product falls somewhere in the middle of the tinted moisturiser – foundation continuum, but also manages, with schizophrenic-like ability, to impart a myriad of beauty benefits, including: moisturising, priming, perfecting, protecting (with SPF) and even controlling oil. How do they fit it all into the one tube?! Sustained use over a four week period is even claimed to lessen wrinkles and improve skin tone! My pick is the Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream, which is available in three shades and retails for $54.95 from kitcosmetics.com.au. Take a cue from our leafshedding tree friends – it’s time to get nude! A bare, glossy lip is a timeless and understated way to show off your kissing devices and there are plenty of options to choose from. For the natural babes among us, try the organic RMS Lip Shine, $42 from bathingbeauty.com.au. My other pick is Benefit Ultra Shines in ‘Nudie-tude’, $34, for a sheer wash of colour and dazzling shine, available from Myer.
Autumn can be a little bit of an inbetween season, the bright summery colours are starting to become a little more toned down in preparation for winter’s darker style. Get your nails on board with the toxic free Butter London range. Top picks for autumn? Muggins, Queen Vic and Royal Navy, all $21.90, from peachyclean.com.au.
Summer has faded, but your golden glow doesn’t have to. Keep bronzed and stylish with this new ecofriendly (and you-friendly) Organic Fake Tan by Eco Tan! The dropping temperatures will be afraid to come near your honey-brown body, and the best part? It smells like chocolate, is vegan friendly and contains no synthetic ingredients. You can pick up your new favourite tanning wonder product from peachyclean.com.au for $34.90.
SKINCARE The start of a new season is the perfect time to revamp your skin care routine. Skin needs a helping hand to recover from the harshness of summer and to prepare for the colder, drier months ahead. To help restore and prepare your skin, a serum or boost added to your routine will work wonders. My fave is the Sodashi Rejuvenating Serum $106.50, which is a nutrient feast for the skin. Applied before bed, it gets to work while you’re snoozing and leaves you with plump hydrated skin in the morning. Don’t forget about the rest of your body too, switching to a body oil like the Weleda Wild Rose Body Oil $37.90 can help to stave off scaly skin (while smelling of gorgeous rose!) and keep you soft and supple for the season ahead. Both available at peachyclean.com.au.
EXERCISE As it gets cooler, head indoors to try out the hot new fitness workout that is about to explode in Perth. Xtend Barre - total body sculpting workout with a fusion of dance, Pilates and ballet. It’s a 55 min class using weights, balls, resistive tubing and the barre (handrail used during ballet warm up exercises), and promises to give you the poise and grace of a dancer, stronger core, increased flexibility, overall lengthening and firming of your muscles and it’s a great cardio workout. Phew! The best thing is that you don’t need to have a ballet background to take part, everyone is
welcome and it’s very safe. Renee Kendall, one of the highly trained Xtend Barre Instructors ensures correct posture and technique throughout a session. Head to xtendbarreaustralia.com.au to find your nearest class!
SPA Something wonderful this way comes. March sees the opening of WA’s first Endota spa, located at level 1, 856 Hay Street in the CBD, and I for one am thrilled to bits! Certified organic Australian ingredients, seven spacious spa treatment rooms, two luxe relaxation lounges and a whole world of sublime spa treatments await all those who venture into the newest arrival in the Perth day spa scene. Keep your eyes on endotadayspa.com.au/perth-cbd for more info on the exact opening date. Cannot. Wait.
