Brought to you by:
ELES sheer mineral tint, a tinted moisturiser slash illuminator, which is giving my face the most delicious glow, and being mineral is of course non-irritating (which was IDEAL after being given a nasty, acne-esque rash from one of the 456 products I tried last week at some point: rash covered, no further skin irritation). I wear it alone on weekends, but through the week when I need to look all professional like, I combine this with...
ELES Liquid mineral foundation which is excellent because I love the finish and sunscreeness of mineral makeup, but have the accuracy and carefulness of a drunk wearing a blindfold on rollerskates when it comes to applying powder anything. So, with this, I get the benefits of mineral makeup, sans mess. It's sets as a powder, (although I wouldn't call it a matte finish, just nice and flawlessy) which is why I blend with the Sheer Tint, so that I get the dewy finish I've been loving since 1963. And! ELES is an all 'Strayan brand! Stone the flamin' galahs!
Estee Lauder Sumptuous mascara, which kindly gives me glamorously thick, overweight lashes every day, in just a few simple strokes. But they're still light, if that makes sense. No matter how much you put on: no clumpy. Lauder have delivered some cracking mascaras over the past few years, (special nods and knowing winks to Projectionist and Illusionist) and each of them have been marvelous in their own way (curling, separating, lengthening, dancing), but who am I kidding: I'm a volume whore. Always will be. I love volume like Meowbert loves Toobs.
Decleor Aromatic Essential Balm, also known as The Thing That Keeps My Skin Glowy despite heaters and air conditioners and performing massive aerials at Thredbo on the weekends. If you like La Mer, or Ella Bache Creme Intex (it's like I'm addressing myself here), you'll be so down with this, you'll probably need to dig a hole for how far down you are.
Aaaaand, cut.
To those asking about Primped, not long now, fruits. Not long at all. We're working our asses off (saves going to the gym/spending on cellulite creams) to get it PERFECT before we launch and elegantly and aggressively create an entirely new way to enjoy/drool over/learn about beauty.
Hey Zoe, I heard you on the radio last night! with hamish and andy!

Fruity I can't wait for Primped - breath that is bated etc. I'm so sad I couldn't go to MAC yesterday and get you to sign my copy of Air Kisses - I got stuck behind at work. Boo for deadlines! I hope you come back to Melbourne soon. x
