TRY THE TREND: Coral lips
Love the orange lip trend but too scared to go all the way? Go to first base with a plumping coral lip gloss (this one is Vapour Elixr Plumping Lip Gloss). Seriously satisfying.

Okay, I know this is perhaps a couple of polish trends behind, but I can’t go past a greige polish - smart enough for work, cool enough for play. This one is Sheswai Lacquer in ‘Stoned’ - it is ‘3 FREE’ which means it contains no formaldehyde, toluene, or DBPs. Available here.

Bicarb Beauty
What costs less than $4, is available from every supermarket, and does wonders for your hair, skin & body (not to mention cakes…)?! Bicarb soda.  I’ve been shaking a couple of teaspoons of bicarb with half a cup of water in a jar, then using to wash my face & rinse my hair in the shower. My skin is super soft after using this bicarb cleanser, and my boyfriend has found that...

RMS Living Luminizer
What: Luminizer, highlighter, waker-upper, heaven in a pot.  For: Every cheek and browbone out there.  How: I like to pat the Luminizer over my cheekbones and browbones after I apply foundation, and before I apply (cream) blush.
