When the going gets tough, the standout beauty products get going. This week I am in the final stages of our home renovation and the Rescu. Live Event is next week – there is no time for fuss. I am living out of boxes and in love with multi tasking and long wear products. Check out my survival kit including Clinique, Dr Lewinn’s and Aveda.
Clinique CC Cream
Times like these call for a go-getter when it comes to a quick, easy and effective concealer and I’m not talking about the humble BB cream. The Clinique CC cream SPF 30 Hydrating Colour Corrector Cream goes the extra mile to provide the simplest solution to a flawless, radiant complexion. With twice the benefits of a moisturiser, the dual-layered colour correcting optics neutralise skin tone for an instantly brighter, natural glow.
The lightweight formula lasts the day whether it be packing boxes or dropping into The Hilton. The definition of a multi-purpose product that won’t soon be leaving my beauty bag.
RRP: $45 Clinique Counters nationally and www.clinique.com.au
Dr LeWinn’s Reversaderm Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser
No stranger to the literal beauty ‘buzz’ of a hardworking cleanser, Dr. LeWinn’s Reversaderm Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser is right up my alley. Made with 12 per cent glycolic acid this little miracle will do more than wash away the dirt and grime of the day in minutes: the AHA cleanser removes make-up and daily residue, without drying the skin out or causing irritation as well as improving the appearance of photo-aged, sun damaged and acne-scarred skin.
RRP: $34.95 www.drlewinns.com.au
Aveda Stress-Fix™ Body Lotion
When sitting down is not an option, from the saviours who brought us the Foot Relief comes the Aveda Stress-Fix™ Body Lotion. This certified organic lotion is clinically proven to reduce the feeling of wanting to tear your hair out with the benefits of all day moisture and a relaxing aroma containing, including French-sourced lavender, lavandin and clary sage. A stress relieveing body lotion would not be complete without a generous helping of aloe and organic shea butter to condition the skin.

Oh and I did cheat and treated myself to a PRIORI Power Facial i.e. the PRIORI Replenishing Mask– 30 mins of skin boosting that helped me look like I am not falling apart. Don’t let the time fool you. This is no mini facial. It’s just a power packed treatment for busy types. The LCA Complex and a combination of antioxidants and lactic acid provide superior anti-ageing benefits and it leaves the skin feeling smooth, supple, fresh and hydrated.
