Hope you all enjoyed my first entry last week, after being absent for some time. It's good to be back. Writing helps me think creatively and I enjoy sharing my beauty tips, tricks and everything inbetween. So let's get stuck into it. Here are my beauty vibes for L to Z.
L is for LUXE products.
Think Payot, Hydropeptide, Ole Henriksen, Thalgo, LaMer. AMAZING! So rich in nutrients and active ingredients that come with a hefty price tag. Are they worth the $$$? You bet they are. They are carefully formulated to build collagen and elastin in concentrated amounts.
M is for MAKE UP FOREVER
One of my favourite foundation brands I use on my clients. My go to product is the HD (high definition) liquid foundation. Specially formulated to give a fresh glow that doesn't look white in photos from flashback; rather a great natural finish. Great for those not wanting that heavy coverage, however it is a buildable liquid if you prefer a fuller coverage.
N is for NAIL POLISH
An accessory for your nails, both fingernails and toenails. My faves are O.P.I, Smith & Cult, Rimmel CND & Essie. Protect you nails by using a base coat - see also U is for UNDERCOAT.
O is for OXYGENEO
OMG...you have to try this amazing facial treatment. It's a deep exfoliation process that also infuses a topical serum that is full of peptides, hylaraunic acid and Vitamin C - aiding in collagen and elastin production; and it oxgenates in order to plump the skin leaving it with a youthful, soft glow. And.... you can experience this amazing treatment by visiting the salon I work at ~ Miracle Skin Therapy, located in Camden NSW.
P is for PEPTIDES
What the hell are these you ask? Our body produces amino acids and peptides are a chain of amino acids; that are the building blocks of proteins. Protein and peptides are structurally very similar (think chemistry formulas). This ingredient is beneficial to fight visible signs of ageing - fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, pigmentation and sun damage (premature ageing due to environmental conditions) - think leathery looking skin.

Q is for Co.Q10
You would have come across this super ingredient, whether you have seen it advertised in magazines or seen it plastered all over advertising campaigns on beauty products. It stands for Coenzyme 10 - another molecular scientific formula. It's almost like teaching a chemistry class! 😉😁 it is an antioxidant (assists in fighting free radicals- pollution, environmental conditions, smoking, sun damage etc). Other antioxidants you may be familiar with are Vitamins A, C and E. CoQ10 helps bring energy to the cells, to assist with cell damage and to build the cells up again. Great for anti-aging.
R is for RED LIPSTICK 💄💄💄
Oh my.....think Marilyn Monroe, Hollywood Glam & SEXY. The red lipstick is the original lippie to hit the market. Here's a fun fact....even during the Great Depression, sales of red lipsticks DID NOT decline. Finding the right shade for you is determined whether you are a cool shade or warm shade. A true red is a cool red - blue based. A warm red is more of an orange-red colour, perfect for the warm toned skin. No excuses now peeps - strut that red lippie!
S is for SMINKA INK MAKE UP BY SANDRA 😉😍
Yes, this is my baby. Celebrating 10 years in my little freelance make up business. Creating loads of different looks over the years, especially BRIDAL Makeovers, brings me so much joy when I see my clients looking at themselves in the mirror and smiling with what they see. Check out my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Sminka-Ink-Make-up-by-Sandra-145320738895828/ and my Instagram Accounts- @sminka_ink & @Sandikay73.

T is for TARTE COSMETICS
These cosmetics are the bomb! Especially the eye palettes. Amazing pigment and great colour choice. Available online and at Sephora.
U is for UNDERCOAT
Not for walls silly. For your nails.😁 Undercoats protect the nail bed staining from coloured polishes. They also allow polishes to glide on nicely and prolong the wear and tear of the polish on your nails.
V is for VonBlü Lipsticks.
An Australian brand of matte lipsticks that don't feel dry on your lips. They are vegan too. We love them at Miracle Skin Therapy.

W is for WATER
Yes Yes Yes....water is a must for skin hydration. Both internally and externally. We need water to wash away impurities on our skin. We need water to flush out toxins in our bodies. H2O all the way. 👌
X is for XANTHOCOMIC
(as per mentalfloss.com) I could not think of anything beginning with X. 😂
Xanthos was the Ancient Greek word for “yellow,” and as such is the root of a number of scientificwords referring to yellow-colored things. So, if you’re xanthocomic, you have yellow hair; if you’re xanthocroic you have fair hair and pale skin; and if you’re xanthodontous, you have yellow teeth. Think Barbie....yellow hair fashionista 😜
Y is for YOUNGBLOOD
A make up range that is great for sensitive or reactive skin conditions. Available from stockists at selected Hair Salons or online. So if you find your current make up irritates your skin, give this range a go. Not tested on animals!!
Z is for Z-PALETTES
A great space saver for all your eyeshadows, blushes and lipsticks. It has a magnetic base so that your products won't move around and get damaged.
Ta Da. There you have it. Happy reading lovelies, until next time.
