Vaseline Aloe Fresh Lotion with SPF 15
RRP: $7.68 / $11.59
Holding the very prestigious title of Product of the Year, Vaseline Aloe Fresh Lotion with SPF 15 is the all season must-have for smooth, supply and hydrated skin. Be it the depth of winter or the height of summer, this light, quick-absorbing body lotion contains 100 per cent natural aloe vera to moisturise all year long. You won’t know how you lived without it!
Australis Multi Mega Lash Mascara
RRP: $12.95
With a bevy of mascaras, Rescu. loves Australis’ cheap and chic beauty solutions at your every disposal. We are big fans of the Multi Mega Lash Mascara for top-notch lashes with the desired oomph. Build glossy, natural lashes with a brush that is shaped to create lash volume in one stroke, while its formula dries fast and will not smudge, flake or clump. We also love mascara with no fall out! A serious steal.
Pantene Intensive Damage Repair Oil
RRP: $9.99
Get miraculous repair with the Pantene Pro-V Intensive Damage Repair Oil. Heavenly hair goes for a mint with this leave-on treatment that will nourish your hair from the moment you slick it on without adding greasy residue or weight to your hair. It works to fight frizz and helps repair damage by coating each strand with the oil sealing the cuticle to help protect hair from breakage.
COVERGIRL Lip Perfection Lipstick
RRP: $14.95
A fave of not only Rescu. but also pop star Ricki-Lee Coulter, the COVERGIRL Lip Perfection Lipstick does more then give you a burst a lip colour in a single stroke; it combines colour and moisture to give you more supple lips in just seven days. Contains lip-loving avocado, shea and aloe butters – we’re loving ‘Kiss’.
Rimmel London 9-in-1 BB Cream
RRP: $12.95
BB Creams are coming in thick and fast, but for a lightweight solution with supreme coverage that won’t break the bank, we love Rimmel’s version. Do not be wary of the 9 in 1 claim, the Rimmel London BB Cream does not fail to deliver. It effectively conceals blemishes and brightens areas like nasty dark circles while mattifying and moisturising – trust us, we’ve tried!
Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion
RRP: $7.36 / $10.52
A beauty cupboard staple, the Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion not only nourishes skin but builds up a natural, even tan. The active tanning ingredients make for a beautiful formula for a natural even tan and the subtle fragrance is just divine. Highly recommended for those who want the summer to last a just a little longer.
Cedel Dry Shampoo
RRP: $7.99
Get rid of bed hair, gym hair and day-old hair with a favourite dry shampoo throughout the generations, and for good reason. The Cedel Dry Shampoo is a waterless shampoo that instantly refreshes dull, greasy and lifeless hair when a wash seems a million miles away. A travel essential you can get anywhere.
Philosophy Lip Shine
RRP: $15
We can’t stop raving about these! If you’re strapped for cash when a friend’s or your niece’s birthday comes up, treat them with a sweet indulgence without the calories. These tasty tubes have the OMG fragrance factor and high-shine gloss to satisfy any lippy addiction. More then a sweet kiss, they nurture and protect like a warm hug. (Available from David Jones)
QV Face Cleansing Wipes
RRP: $6.99
We’ve all had those nights when upon stumbling in the doorway – doing your regular face wash routine seems out of the question! Luckily the QV Face Cleansing Wipes are the perfect convenient solution formulated to effectively remove make-up and oil from the skin leaving it moisturised, clean and refreshed. The wipes are strong enough to remove waterproof make-up, yet gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Nivea Gentle Exfoliating Scrub with Provitamin B5
RRP: $8.81
We’re slightly addicted to the super-fresh feeling we get after using the NIVEA Visage Gentle Exfoliating Scrub with Provitamin B5. The features microscopic unispheres to hydrate while super fine particles gently buff the skin to release impurities and dead skin cells. We can attest to smoother, more radiant skin for under a tenner.
