I have a few new beauty confessions and they’re so great I had to share.

Nailed It

I have a few new beauty confessions and they’re so great I had to share.

I love having fabulous manicured nails but I worry about the damage that is being done by the unknown chemicals that are in everyday nail polishes.

Recently, I discovered Miss Frankie. A nail polish range that has been created using an innovative, breathable formula that is completely safe for use on children or while pregnant.

What’s impressive is the unique formulation allows both water and air to pass through the polish, ensuring a healthier environment for your nails. Strong nails here we come!

To add to this, Miss Frankie polishes are five-free – meaning they don’t contain formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde resin and camphor – and they're also vegan and cruelty free.

The range includes 18 colours but my favourites are: Current Mood, a dark cherry black; Crushing On You, a rich purple; and Secret Soiree, a creamy, sheer nude.

Tamed Tresses

I have a few new beauty confessions and they’re so great I had to share.

If you follow us on Instagram, then you know Rokstar Salon in West End maintains my locks. Hair Stylist and Director, Brodie-Lee Stubbins works her magic on my hair in the salon, but once I leave I’m left to my own devices. Thanks to her brilliance, she has recommended the Sebastian Professional range to me, which means I can create and replicate in-salon hair at home!

To my delight, Sebastian Professional launched the cult hero styling range with new beach-bag friendly travel-sized icons. So I get to easily throw my favourites in my tote or luggage bag without them taking up so much needed room!

Known as the five liquid weapons, they take me from day to dusk and help me maintain perfect tresses despite humidity or unpredictable weather!

My essentials are:

  • Dark Oil 30ml: body in a bottle
  • Whipped Crème 27ml : the sweetest hair crème to whip your curls
  • Re-Shaper 50ml: The modern icon with 24 hour humidity control
  • Gel Forte 30ml: Playful controlled hold
  • Craft Clay 15ml: The original matte, texturizing clay

Eye on the Prize

I have a few new beauty confessions and they’re so great I had to share.

Erre Due has released the Private Collection Color Palette and it’s been giving me statement eyes all season long.

This perfect palette will enhance the eye plus contour and blush. It’s available in three combinations of matte and satin finishes.

What I loved most was the fine velvet texture that ensured an easy application and the colour is long lasting. Win!

I’ve been sporting Private Collection Palette -612, which retails at $54.90 and is available from www.erreduemakeup.com/en.
