Party season is officially in full force and all our favourite beauty brands are on-track with a whole host of products that will ensure you score your summer fling in no time.
Here at Rescu. we can’t enough of these flirty, fun products:
Nothing says ‘flirt’ quite like dramatic, defined lashes. MAC’s Haute and Naughty Mascara is a favourite for us because it is buildable, allowing for naturally daytime lashes or epic volume for the evening. MAC’s state-of-the-art conditioning and hydrating formula prevents parching and flaking for completely flawless lashes.
Available at all MAC stores and counters ($42.00).
For a mane worthy of the Victoria’s Secret runway, try L’Oréal’s latest hair savior. Using a unique bi-phase action with agents to treat and nourish the hair along with protective agents to save hair from heat damage, this spray leaves hair healthy, shiny, soft and supple.
Available from selected salons and retailers ($26.00).
Maybelline are set to release a range of pearlescent lip colours with an ultra shiny, highly pigmented finish. Using honey nectar and natural cultured pearls, these lusciously creamy lip colours have an iridescent shine that will never appear frosty or garish. Available in ten on-trend shades.
Available January 2011 from supermarkets, pharmacies, variety and independent stores ($16.95).
Katy Perry managed to pin down womanizer Russell Brand so we think she’s a pretty trustworthy source when it comes to the power of flirtation. The self-professed nail fanatic has teamed up with OPI to bring us a new range of unique polishes. We love the Black Shatter Top Coat that shatters as it dries, leaving a leopard print pattern on the nail. Try it with The One That Got Away, a deep berry that looks good enough to eat!
Available from mid January 2011 at selected beauty salons, spas and David Jones ($19.95).
With three styling tools to choose from; total curl, total straight and total crimp, VS Sassoon have every hair style you can think of sorted. We love the purple total curl pack that comes with five different attachments to ensure you get exactly the result you need. The pink straightener has ceramic tourmaline coating to add shine to your hair and long plates for fast results. Crimping has made an appearance on the runway again! To avoid look too 80’s, try crimping random sections and stop a couple of centimetres from the ends. The super cute Total Crimp will give you this on-trend look in minutes.
Available from Myer, David Jones, Shaver Shop, variety stores and electrical stores (Curl – $42.95, Straight – $32.95, Crimp – $32.95).
Shu Uemura has created a revolutionary range of highly pigmented lipsticks that can be blended to create your perfect shade. This groundbreaking achievement in colour creation means you can create truly individual colours for your lips and enhance volume definition.
Available from David Jones ($42.00).
This incredible new eyeliner from Maybelline holds 10% more pigment than a liquid liner. Using an innovative gel formula, this liner is oil and water free meaning it sets instantly and lasts up to 24 hours so you won’t be caught with liner running down your face when your flirting the night away!
Available from January 2011 from pharmacies, variety stores and independent stores ($16.95).
We are in love with this new range from Herbal Essences. Including a shampoo, conditioner and three styling products, the Tousle Me Softly collection creates hair that is shiny, soft, sexy and perfectly un-done. The delicious blend of wild violet and pomegranate leaves your hair smelling irresistible.
Available from supermarkets and pharmacies (from $5.99).
This award-winning foundation which was one of the first certified organic Liquid Mineral Foundation’s has undergone a make-over. The improved formulation is silky-smooth, delivering blending capabilities like no other and leaving a velvety finish on the skin. Inika’s mineral, nourishing formula and hydrating properties work to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while regenerating the skin.
